New on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video & Co.: The Releases from July 21 to 27
Attention film and series fans: These are the new additions from July 21 to 27 on Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video.
NETFLIX
Happy Gilmore 2 (Film release: July 25)
In 1996, Adam Sandler was in top form as his crude wannabe hockey player Happy Gilmore participated in a golf tournament due to his powerful swing, in order to buy back his grandmother's foreclosed house. Almost 30 years later, the rebel returns to the green in a "Happy Gilmore" sequel (directed by Kyle Newacheck) to pay for the ballet school for his daughter Vienna (that is indeed her name).
The hot-headed brawler is one of the most popular roles of the now 58-year-old American actor. During his tournaments, he cursed, swung the clubs around, and beat up his competitors if necessary. From the original, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, and Ben Stiller - unforgettable as the nurse with a horseshoe mustache from Happy's grandmother - are also back.
The Winning Try (Series release: July 25)
For Netflix, dramas from South Korea have apparently proven to be lucrative. In the twelve-part series "The Winning Try," Ju Ga-ram (Kye Sang-yoon) must withdraw from his role as a player in South Korea's national rugby team after a doping scandal and takes over the management of the team at his former high school - naturally the weakest team in the league, which he is supposed to revitalize.
DISNEY+
Washington Black (Series premiere: July 23)
The miniseries "Washington Black" tells the story of the eponymous eleven-year-old (Eddie Karanja/Ernest Kingsley Jr.), who toils as a slave on a plantation in the Caribbean in the 19th century. A traumatic event forces him to flee, catapulting him into an adventurous life as a globe-trotting scientist. Based on the Canadian novel by Esi Edugyan - listed among Barack Obama's favorite reads in 2018.
AMAZON PRIME VIDEO
Tin Soldier (Film premiere: July 23)
In Brad Furman's action thriller "Tin Soldier," the leader of a cult (Jamie Foxx) surrounds himself with traumatized ex-soldiers and uses them as weapons. So the government hires one of his former students (Scott Eastwood, who unfortunately does not possess the talent of his father Clint) to overthrow him. Robert De Niro and John Leguizamo also appear in supporting roles. Despite the impeccable cast, the British Guardian's verdict was harsh: it is "a pretty lousy film, only worth it if you like to smile."
