Michael B. Jordan stars as Elijah “Smoke” Moore and Elias “Stack” Moore, also known as the Smokestack twins. After years of working for the Chicago mob, the former World War I veterans return to Mississippi and plan to open a juke joint catered to the Black community. Opening night is a success thanks to stiff drinks, lively music, and spirited dancing.

The party comes to an abrupt halt with the arrival of Remmick (Jack O’Connell), an Irish vampire who plans to turn the entire party into blood-sucking creatures. The remaining survivors of the party refuse, leading to an epic battle between the humans and the vampires.

Sinners also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo.

Ryan Coogler wrote, produced, and directed Sinners , his fifth feature film. The vampire tale is one of the best-reviewed movies of the year. In our review, Anthony Orlando gave Coogler’s movie a perfect 5-star review , writing, “ Sinners is a fantastic and frightening masterpiece from one of cinema’s best, most ambitious directors.”

What Sinners did at the box office deserves significant praise. In a world flooded with sequels and franchise IP, Coogler made an original R-rated horror on a rumored budget of $100 million. Projected to gross $30 to $40 million domestically in its opening weekend, Sinners debuted to $48 million. What’s even more impressive is the movie’s $45.7 million second weekend, the third-best second-weekend performance for a film that debuted over $40 million. Sinners grossed over $364 million worldwide.

The Sinners phenomenon will likely lead to multiple Oscar nominations. Best Picture and Original Screenplay feel like a lock. Coogler could find himself in Best Director depending on what happens at the fall festival season. Acting nominations will be tougher to achieve, but Jordan, Mosaku, and Canton are strong candidates in their respective categories. Plus, the movie should pick up several below-the-line nominations, including score, costumes, production design, and cinematography.

Admit it — You still love Stranger Things, and the season 5 teaser trailer is awesome
A group of teens look down as one holds a chainsaw.

It's easy to poke fun at Stranger Things because of how long it's taken to reach the end. When season 5 concludes later this year, the Netflix series will have produced 42 episodes of television in just under 10 years. For comparison, The X-Files released roughly 200 episodes in under nine years. The pandemic and strikes are legitimate reasons for the delays, but the long hiatuses for Stranger Things have been frustrating for fans, to the point where some are questioning if they'll even care about the final season.

After watching the season 5 teaser trailer, all the feelings of resentment have been replaced with excitement. The teaser looks awesome, and I can't wait for the show's final run this fall.

Furiosa is a sci-fi movie you must watch on Netflix before it’s too late
Tom Burke stands between Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth in "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."

After making three Mad Max movies in the '80s, George Miller's iconic dystopian franchise went on a 30-year hiatus. The wait was worth it because the next entry, Mad Max: Fury Road, became one of the best action movies of the 21st century. Thankfully, Miller only waited nine years for his next Mad Max adventure, Furiosa.

Thanks to a licensing agreement, Furiosa is now available to stream on Netflix. It won't be here forever, though, as it leaves the service at the end of the month. Furiosa is one of our five sci-fi movies to watch this July. Check out all of our picks below.

The cast of Sunshine with the sun burning behind them.

An eclectic group of movies makes up Hulu's top 15. Paul W. S. Anderson's In the Lost Lands is toward the top. The fantasy movie based on stories by George R.R. Martin flopped at the box office, but it's found a new audience on streaming. The same can be said for Riff Raff, the little-seen crime comedy starring Bill Murray and Pete Davidson.

Outside of the top 15, there is a bevy of underrated movies to watch in July. One of our picks is Sunshine, a sci-fi thriller from the duo that brought you 28 Years Later. Keep reading to see all three of our recommendations.
