This month, Prime Video is actually delivering some decent content, which is a pleasant surprise given the streaming landscape&#8217;s current state of existential dread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Headliners: Binge-Worthy Contenders (and a blast from the past!)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First up, the new series that has our snark-o-meters buzzing (in a good way!). <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/snarkive\/tv-show\/ballard\/\">Ballard<\/a> (premiering July 9) looks amazing! Think <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/snarkive\/tv-show\/bosch\/\">Bosch<\/a> 2.0, but with a kick-ass female lead. We&#8217;re definitely seeing promise in this one. It&#8217;s on the ever-growing watchlist, and if it lives up to the hype, you&#8217;ll be hearing our unfiltered thoughts on it soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/snarkive\/movie\/heads-of-state\/\">Heads of State<\/a> (dropping July 2). <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/snarkive\/person\/john-cena\/\">John Cena<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/snarkive\/person\/idris-elba\/\">Idris Elba<\/a> in a diplomatic savagery flick? Sign us up! That&#8217;s a casting combo more explosive than a <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/snarkive\/person\/michael-bay\/\">Michael Bay<\/a> finale! We&#8217;re looking to watch and review this as soon as humanly possible. It&#8217;s high on the very long watchlist because, let&#8217;s be real, who doesn&#8217;t love a good <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/topics\/action-comedy\/\">action-comedy<\/a> with a side of international intrigue? <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/review\/heads-of-state-review\/\">Review coming soon<\/a>, mark our words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And speaking of blasts from the past, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/snarkive\/tv-show\/shooter\/\">Shooter TV Series<\/a> (Seasons 1-3, July 1) is making its way to Prime Video. This was such a good show! We wish it would have continued past the cut-off, but such is entertainment life, where good shows get axed faster than a bad tweet. Still, a solid re-watch opportunity for those who miss Bob Lee Swagger&#8217;s sharpshooting antics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-794e3cfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Heads of State - Official Trailer | Prime Video\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8J646zM7UM8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Check out our Breakdown of <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/movie-trailers\/heads-of-state-second-trailer-breakdown\/\">Heads of State Trailer<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BALLARD - Official Trailer | Prime Video | July 9\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9nKRJGXgK0Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, for the movies, <a href=\"https:\/\/cinesist.com\/snarkive\/movie\/bandits\/\">Bandits<\/a> (July 1) was an amazing movie!

Prime Video is dumping a truckload of content this July. We&#8217;ve gone through the entire list and added our unfiltered snark to each. You&#8217;re welcome, and thank you, Prime Video, for making our thumbs tired!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New TV Series on Prime Video in July 2025<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sherlock Season 1 (2010):<\/strong> Benedict Cumberbatch being a high-functioning sociopath. Still smarter than half the characters in modern TV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shooter Seasons 1\u20133 (2016):<\/strong> Ryan Phillippe as a sniper. A show that deserved more seasons, unlike some others we could mention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ballard (2025):<\/strong> Looks like Bosch 2.0 with a female lead. High hopes for this one, don&#8217;t disappoint us, Prime!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Menem (2025):<\/strong> A new political drama. Hopefully more entertaining than actual politics. We&#8217;re cautiously intrigued.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One Night in Idaho: The College Murders (2025):<\/strong> True crime doc? Our morbid curiosity is piqued. Pass the digital popcorn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Summer I Turned Pretty&#8221; season 3 premiere (2025):<\/strong> More teenage angst and love triangles. For those who enjoy digital therapy sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Surf Girls: International Season 2 (2025):<\/strong> Surfing. International. Season 2. Pretty self-explanatory, right? Hang ten, or don&#8217;t.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Justice on Trial (2025):<\/strong> Another legal drama. Hopefully with more twists than a pretzel factory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War Season 2 (2025):<\/strong> Oh, more of this? Our collective cringe is activated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New Movies on Prime Video in July 2025<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2 Fast 2 Furious (2003):<\/strong> The one where Paul Walker and Tyrese became besties. More fast, more furious, less plot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Bridge Too Far (1977):<\/strong> Star-studded WWII epic. Longer than your average Sunday roast, but worth the commitment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Fish Called Wanda (1988):<\/strong> Classic British comedy. Funniest diamond heist ever, and Jamie Lee Curtis is iconic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baby Boom (1987):<\/strong> Diane Keaton, a baby, and career vs. motherhood. A charming 80s rom-com that holds up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Back to School (1986):<\/strong> Rodney Dangerfield goes to college. No respect for the rules, just like us.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bandits (2001):<\/strong> Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Cate Blanchett. Underrated heist movie with great chemistry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blown Away (1994):<\/strong> Jeff Bridges vs. a bomb expert. Explosions and Irish accents. What&#8217;s not to love?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blue Crush (2002):<\/strong> Surfing, romance, and early 2000s fashion. More waves than coherent plot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blue Velvet (1986):<\/strong> David Lynch at his most disturbing and brilliant. Don&#8217;t watch alone, or do, we&#8217;re not your mom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Colors (1988):<\/strong> Sean Penn and Robert Duvall in L.A. gangland. Gritty, raw, and probably still relevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creed II (2018):<\/strong> Adonis Creed vs. Drago&#8217;s son. More punches, more heart. Still makes us tear up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Death Warrant (1990):<\/strong> Jean-Claude Van Damme in prison. More kicks than dialogue. Classic JCVD.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Double Impact (1991):<\/strong> Jean-Claude Van Damme x2! Twice the kicks, twice the splits. Double the fun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dressed to Kill (1980):<\/strong> Brian De Palma&#8217;s stylish thriller. More twists than a pretzel. Very 80s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Duck Soup (1933):<\/strong> Marx Brothers chaos. Still funnier than most modern comedies. Timeless absurdity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Every Day (2018):<\/strong> A body-hopping spirit falls in love. Sounds like a YA novel, probably is. Cute, we guess.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fast &amp; Furious 6 (2013):<\/strong> The one with the tank. Physics? Never heard of her. Pure vehicular mayhem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fast Five (2011):<\/strong> The one where The Rock joined. Game changer. Bigger, bolder, dumber. We love it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fiddler on the Roof (1971):<\/strong> Classic musical. Tradition! Tradition!. Longer than your last family reunion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gladiator (2000):<\/strong> Russell Crowe, Ridley Scott. Are you not entertained?! Still epic. Still makes us want to fight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hart&#8217;s War (2002):<\/strong> Bruce Willis, Colin Farrell, WWII. Prison camp drama. More thoughtful than your average war movie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hidden Figures (2017):<\/strong> Inspiring true story. Smart women doing smart things. Hollywood, take notes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hoodlum (1997):<\/strong> Laurence Fishburne as a gangster. Stylish, violent, and probably underrated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014):<\/strong> Animated dragons, more emotional than expected. Still makes us want a dragon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>I Now Pronounce You Chuck &amp; Larry (2007):<\/strong> Adam Sandler and Kevin James. A comedy that tries too hard. Bless their hearts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Into the Blue (2005):<\/strong> Jessica Alba, Paul Walker, treasure. More abs than plot. Still a fun watch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Into the Blue 2: The Reef (2009):<\/strong> The direct-to-video sequel. Less abs, even less plot. Skip it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It Came From Outer Space (1953):<\/strong> Classic sci-fi B-movie. More charming than terrifying. Still better than some modern blockbusters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>K-PAX (2001):<\/strong> Kevin Spacey as an alien. Before he was problematic. Mind-bending, or just confusing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leaving Las Vegas (1996):<\/strong> Nicolas Cage won an Oscar for this. Depressing, but brilliant. Don&#8217;t watch if you&#8217;re sad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Licorice Pizza (2021):<\/strong> PTA&#8217;s nostalgic romp. A bit weird, a bit charming. Definitely a vibe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Little Fockers (2010):<\/strong> The third one. Still milking that cow. Less funny, more desperate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Little Man (2006):<\/strong> Marlon Wayans as a baby. A comedy concept that should have stayed on paper. Cringe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mad Max (1980):<\/strong> Mel Gibson, post-apocalyptic mayhem. The original, gritty, and still awesome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Meet the Fockers (2004):<\/strong> Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand. More laughs, more awkwardness. Still funny.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Meet the Parents (2000):<\/strong> Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro. The classic awkward family comedy. Still makes us squirm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mystic Pizza (1988):<\/strong> Julia Roberts, pizza, and coming-of-age. A charming 80s classic. Makes us hungry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Country for Old Men (2007):<\/strong> Coen Brothers masterpiece. Bleak, brilliant, and terrifying. Anton Chigurh is nightmare fuel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Way Out (1987):<\/strong> Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, political thriller. More twists than a pretzel. Solid 80s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Only Lovers Left Alive (2013):<\/strong> Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, vampires. Artsy, melancholic, and surprisingly cool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paths of Glory (1957):<\/strong> Stanley Kubrick&#8217;s anti-war classic. Bleak, powerful, and still relevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rings (2017):<\/strong> Another Ring sequel. Didn&#8217;t we learn our lesson? Just watch the first one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robocop (1987):<\/strong> Original. Iconic. Violent. Perfect. Still better than the remake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robocop (2014):<\/strong> The remake. Don&#8217;t bother. Seriously, just don&#8217;t.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robocop 2 (1990):<\/strong> More Robocop, more violence. Decent sequel, still not the original.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robocop 3 (1993):<\/strong> Robocop with a jetpack. We&#8217;re not even kidding. It exists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rocky (1976):<\/strong> The underdog story. Still inspires us to run up stairs. Yo, Adrian!.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rocky Balboa (2006):<\/strong> The surprisingly good comeback. More heart than a cardiologist&#8217;s office.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rocky II (1979):<\/strong> More training, more fighting. Still classic Rocky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rocky III (1982):<\/strong> Mr. T, Eye of the Tiger. Pure 80s cheese, but we love it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rocky IV (1985):<\/strong> Rocky vs. Drago. Cold War propaganda in a boxing ring. Iconic training montage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rocky V (1990):<\/strong> The one where he fights in the street. We&#8217;d rather forget it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt (2010):<\/strong> Angelina Jolie as a spy. More twists than a spy novel. Action-packed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saving Private Ryan (1998):<\/strong> Spielberg&#8217;s masterpiece. Brutal, emotional, and will make you cry. Don&#8217;t deny it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Teen Wolf (1985):<\/strong> Michael J. Fox as a basketball-playing werewolf. Peak 80s absurdity. Still fun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The 40 Year-Old Virgin (2005):<\/strong> Judd Apatow&#8217;s classic comedy. Still hilarious. Still makes us uncomfortable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Addams Family (2019):<\/strong> Animated, not as good as the live-action. But it&#8217;s the Addams Family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Addams Family 2 (2021):<\/strong> More animated Addams. Still not as good. Just watch the originals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Apartment (1960):<\/strong> Billy Wilder classic. Sharp, witty, and still relevant. A true masterpiece.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Bone Collector (1999):<\/strong> Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie, serial killer. Gritty thriller. Solid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Bounty Hunter (2010):<\/strong> Gerard Butler, Jennifer Aniston. Rom-com that tries too hard. Skip it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Fast and the Furious (2001):<\/strong> Where it all began. Street racing, family, and Corona. The OG.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006):<\/strong> The one with no Vin Diesel (mostly). Drifting and questionable acting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Funhouse (1981):<\/strong> Tobe Hooper&#8217;s slasher. Creepy carnival vibes. Pretty unsettling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Great Train Robbery (1979):<\/strong> Sean Connery, Michael Crichton. Classic heist movie. Very British.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Horse Soldiers (1959):<\/strong> John Wayne, William Holden, Civil War. Classic Western. More horses than plot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The House Bunny (2008):<\/strong> Anna Faris as a Playboy bunny. Surprisingly charming and funny. Don&#8217;t judge a book.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Hustle (2019):<\/strong> Anne Hathaway, Rebel Wilson. A remake that wasn&#8217;t necessary. Just watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Informant! (2009):<\/strong> Matt Damon, Soderbergh. Quirky, funny, and based on a true story. Worth a watch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Perfect Storm (2000):<\/strong> George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, big waves. Emotional, intense, and makes you hate the ocean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Usual Suspects (1995):<\/strong> The ultimate twist ending. Still blows our minds. Who is Keyser S\u00f6ze?!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974):<\/strong> Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges. Buddy crime film. Cool, gritty, and classic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s the Worst That Could Happen? (2001):<\/strong> Martin Lawrence, Danny DeVito. A comedy that lives up to its title. It&#8217;s bad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Windtalkers (2002):<\/strong> Nicolas Cage, WWII. More explosions, more patriotism. Decent war movie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Witness for the Prosecution (1958):<\/strong> Billy Wilder, Agatha Christie. Classic courtroom drama. Still holds up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>XXX: The Return of Xander Cage (2017):<\/strong> Vin Diesel, extreme sports. More explosions, less sense. Pure brain-off action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heads of State (2025):<\/strong> John Cena + Idris Elba = Diplomatic Savagery! Review coming soon, don&#8217;t miss it!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game Night (2018):<\/strong> Hilarious, chaotic, and genuinely funny. One of the best comedies in recent years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd (2025):<\/strong> A documentary about Simple Plan. For those who miss their pop-punk phase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Better Man (2025):<\/strong> New movie. No info yet, but we&#8217;re ready to judge. Don&#8217;t let us down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Uncharted (2022):<\/strong> Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg. Video game movie that&#8217;s&#8230; okay. Better than most, worse than the game.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Follow (Juegos de Seducci\u00f3n) (2025):<\/strong> Sounds like a foreign thriller. Hopefully more intriguing than your last date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sabotage (2014):<\/strong> Arnold Schwarzenegger. Gritty, violent, and surprisingly dark. Not your typical Arnie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wicked (2024):<\/strong> The musical movie. Prepare for green witches and flying monkeys. Hopefully it&#8217;s not a miscast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>War of the Worlds (2005):<\/strong> Spielberg, Tom Cruise, aliens. Terrifying, intense, and makes you fear tripods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Verdict: Prime Video Actually Delivered (Mostly)!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alright, Prime Video, we&#8217;ll give credit where credit is due.
