“Batman: Crusader in Cloak” is a new animated series set in a dark and gritty Gotham City where crime and corruption are rampant. Wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne adopts the mantle of Batman, a merciless, almost mechanical vigilante dedicated to crime fighting. He also has enemies in the Gotham City Police Department and City Hall.

Major characters include the ruthless Batman, Bruce Wayne with his playboy face, the complex and morally ambiguous Catwoman, the dualistic Harley Quinn, the hard-nosed Commissioner Jim Gordon, and the tragic villain Clayface.

“Pulp Fiction” is a classic crime thriller set in Los Angeles with several intertwining stories of crime and redemption. Working for mob boss Marcellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), hit men Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winfield (Samuel L. Jackson) face moral and existential questions in the process of recovering a mysterious briefcase.

Another storyline follows boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), who betrays Marcellus and attempts to escape the consequences, leading to a violent confrontation. The film also depicts “The Bonnie Situation,” in which Vincent and Jules deal with the aftermath of an accidental murder with the help of a fixer named Winston Wolfe (Harvey Keitel). The film's fragmented structure weaves these stories together in an interesting and engaging way.

Prime Video is the month for “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” fans when both trilogies are available for streaming. Therefore, at least one of them had to be included in the top picks.

The story follows Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), a Hobbit living quietly in the Shire, as he is invited on an adventure by 13 dwarves led by the wizards Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage). The dwarves embark on a journey to reclaim their homeland of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Gandalf (Ian McKellen) convinces Bilbo to join the expedition as their “ninja.”

One of my favorite sci-fi horror films is coming to Prime Video, and I had to recommend it. Set in the world of “Cloverfield,” “10 Cloverfield Lane” follows Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who wakes up in a bunker after a car accident. It is Howard (John Goodman) and Emmett (John Gallagher, Jr.) who claim to have saved her.

Howard tells Michelle that catastrophic events have made the outside world uninhabitable due to chemical and nuclear fallout. Michelle doubts Howard's intentions and the veracity of his story, and begins to question the reality of the situation. Soon the tension in the bunker is so great that Michelle discovers disturbing evidence about Howard's past.

“The Lord of the Rings” Season 2: “The Lord of the Rings” continues the epic saga of Middle-earth and delves further into the rise of Sauron. Sauron (Charlie Vickers), who has been disguised as Halbrand, now takes the form of Anatar to deceive the inhabitants of Middle-earth. This season focuses on his cunning efforts to forge the Ring of Power and manipulate the various races, leading to a major showdown involving elves, dwarves, and orcs.

The film also explores new locations such as Runes and Peralgia and introduces new characters such as Tom Bombadil (Rory Kinnear) and Barrow Wight. In addition, important plot lines will be introduced, including conflicts within Numenor and alliances formed to counter the threat of Sauron.
