Wolves, beetles and donated hearts \u2014 it\u2019s a wild weekend to be a Prime Video<\/a> subscriber.<\/p>\n

The Amazon streamer just added a batch of new movies for you to enjoy, and Watch With Us<\/a> has selected the best ones for you to watch this weekend.<\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter<\/a> spotlights one of tennis most successful \u2014 and controversial \u2014 athletes, while the comic book flick Blue Beetle gives off appealing, Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>-type vibes.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for an underrated rom-com to watch, try Return to Me, starring David Duchovny in a love story you\u2019d normally find in an X-Files<\/a> episode.\n<\/p>\n

\u2018Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter\u2019 (2026)<\/p>\n

With a record 24 Grand Slams under his belt, it\u2019s safe to claim that Novak Djokovic<\/a> is the greatest tennis player of all time. That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s the most popular player of all time, and that\u2019s what makes watching Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter so fascinating to watch. The subject at its center knows it and doesn\u2019t know why he\u2019s not as loved as fellow rivals Roger Federer<\/a> or Rafa Nadal. But ironically, this insightful documentary shows the same drive that powered him to the top also pushed many tennis fans away.<\/p>\n

Directed by Jason Hehir, who also helmed the superb Michael Jordan docuseries The Last Dance, Novak Djokovic: The Wolf in Winter is less a highlight reel and more a portrait of a man determined to overcome huge obstacles to achieve his dreams. That involved not only constantly improving his tennis skills, but also doing some pretty suspect things, like refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine and then allegedly violating Australia\u2019s vaccination protocols to play in the Australian Open in 2022. The series does a good job of showing Novak as he truly is: stubborn and opinionated, yes, but also supportive of other tennis players and deeply devoted to his family.<\/p>\n

Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridue\u00f1a) never wanted to be a superhero, but when an ancient alien Scarab attaches itself to him, he becomes the Blue Beetle, an armored avenger not unlike that other armored Avenger, Iron Man. BB needs to stop the evil, pantsuit-wearing industrialist Victoria Kord (Susan Sarandon<\/a>) from building an army of super-powered cyborgs and taking over Jaime\u2019s hometown of Palmera City \u2013 and possibly the entire world. With the help of his slightly annoying but ever-loving family, Jaime discovers he might have what it takes to be the hero his city needs him to be.<\/p>\n

One of the last DCEU films, Blue Beetle largely stands on its own as a comic book spectacle that doesn\u2019t require previous knowledge of in-universe movies like Aquaman or Wonder Woman. Jaime\u2019s origin story is a lot like Spider-Man\u2019s, but if the film\u2019s writers are going to steal from others, it might as well be the best. Maridue\u00f1a is disarming as the overwhelmed but fun-loving Jaime, and George Lopez<\/a>, Adriana Barraza, Dami\u00e1n Alc\u00e1zar, Elpidia Carrillo and Belissa Escobedo are funny and charming as Jaime\u2019s loud and opinionated family. The action is pretty good, too, with CGI fights that actually look decent. It\u2019s a low bar considering it was released just as the DCEU was dying, but Blue Beetle easily flies past it.<\/p>\n

Most rom-coms are pretty formulaic, but Return to Me isn\u2019t one of them. The 2000 film stars David Duchovny as Bob Rueland, who is still mourning the recent death of his wife, Elizabeth (Joely Richardson). Bob eventually meets and falls for Grace Briggs (Minnie Driver<\/a>), a waitress who recently had a heart transplant. As their romance gets more serious, Grace realizes a startling fact \u2014 her heart\u2019s donor was Elizabeth! It\u2019s a doozy of a secret, and Grace isn\u2019t sure she can keep it for long before Bob finds out.<\/p>\n

Slightly kookier than your average boy-meets-girl love story, Return to Me\u2019s ridiculous premise works in its favor. Grace\u2019s guilt over possessing her lover\u2019s dead wife\u2019s donated heart (say that three times!) provides some good dramatic tension as well as some nicely timed jokes by supporting cast members Bonnie Hunt and Jim Belushi. Duchovny and Driver have good romantic chemistry together. You want Bob and Grace to figure out their unique dilemma, even if you can\u2019t help but delight in their horror at finding out a part of Elizabeth exists inside Grace. Ew.<\/p>\n
