Ex Machina https://www.netflix.com/title/80023689 Aug. 1 One of the most compelling sci-fi films of the century so far, Ex Machina https://www.netflix.com/title/80023689 wrestles with many of the big ideas around AI that we're still figuring out. Domnhall Gleeson plays a programmer brought to his boss's private island to evaluate the progress of a humanoid robot's artificial mind. But things get increasingly complicated as the boundary between humans and androids blurs. Director: Alex Garland Stars: Alicia Vikander, Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac Genre: Science Fiction Rating: R IMDb Rating: 7.7/10 Spider-Man https://www.netflix.com/title/60004481 Aug. 5 It's crazy to think now, but back in 2002, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man https://www.netflix.com/title/60004481 was a huge gamble for Sony. Superhero movies weren't dominating the box office, and tapping the Evil Dead director for a PG-13 action romp that had been in development hell for 25 years wasn't guaranteed to work out. Thankfully, the flick was a huge hit, thanks to Tobey Maguire's excellent performance, Raimi's genius for vertiginous action, and Willem Dafoe's meme-spawning performance as Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin. This movie and both its sequels leave Netflix on the 5th. Director: Sam Raimi Cast: Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Willem Dafoe Genre: Action Rating: PG-13 IMDb Rating: 7.4/10 Copshop https://www.netflix.com/title/81425046 Aug. 10 Netflix simply has too many movies for them all to get their due, and 2021's Copshop may have flown under your radar. It's a taut little action thriller with some fun performances by "hey, it's that guy" actors like Toby Huss and Frank Grillo, ably directed by Joe Carnahan. When a scheming con artist gets himself arrested as a way to protect himself from the hitman on his trail, he soon discovers that his killer is behind bars with him at the police station, and the two must play a game of cat and mouse while not alerting the cops.
