Here Are All Of The Best Movies And Shows Coming To Hulu This Month. 'Tropic Thunder', 'Phone Booth'.

 1. Tropic Thunder

Vietnam veteran 'Four Leaf' Tayback's memoir, Tropic Thunder, is being made into a film, but Director Damien Cockburn can’t control the cast of prima donnas. Behind schedule and over budget, Cockburn is ordered by a studio executive to get filming back on track, or risk its cancellation. On Tayback's advice, Cockburn drops the actors into the middle of the jungle to film the remaining scenes but, unbeknownst to the actors and production, the group have been dropped in the middle of the Golden Triangle, the home of heroin-producing gangs.

I shouldn't have to pitch one of the best comedies of this era. Just a collection of incredible comedic talent all at the top of their games AND one of the greatest cameo performances of all time from Tommy Cruise. 

2. Phone Booth

A slick New York publicist who picks up a ringing receiver in a phone booth is told that if he hangs up, he'll be killed… and the little red light from a laser rifle sight is proof that the caller isn't kidding.

I know this movie isn't everyones cup of tea but I really like it. Prime party boy Colin Ferrell plays the perfect scumbag and Chief Keif Sutherland has the perfect voice for the role. 

3. Jiro Dreams of Sushi

A documentary on 85-year-old sushi master Jiro Ono, his renowned Tokyo restaurant, and his relationship with his son and eventual heir, Yoshikazu.

I pitch this doc whenever I see it because I just love this one. It's very rare that you get to follow along with someone who is just a master at their craft. This dude has lived and breathed one thing his entire life and it consumes his every waking moment. It's an awesome watch. 

4. 50 First Dates

Henry is a player skilled at seducing women. But when this veterinarian meets Lucy, a girl with a quirky problem when it comes to total recall, he realizes it's possible to fall in love all over again…and again, and again. That's because the delightful Lucy has no short-term memory, so Henry must woo her day after day until he finally sweeps her off her feet.

I was just talking to some of the fellas about this movie because it is sneakily one of the better rom coms of that era. Not perfect by any stretch, but a really good vibes movie. 

5. Oblivion

Jack Harper is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete. His existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.

I wish this movie was better but I still find it to be a solid sci fi movie with a cool concept and great visuals. Its also the source of an awesome song from M83.
