Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World – Prime Video 11/1
The Killer (2023) – Netflix 11/10
Twenty years ago, the movie that should have won Best Picture was released. Alas, no one seemed interested in seafaring movies after that unless they starred Johnny Depp. So enjoy a time when oceans had become battlefields.
If you want something new and absolutely not majestic, try David Fincher’s latest: a brutal dark comedy about a hitman (Michael Fassbender) out for revenge. If you like icy detachment, hard-hitting violence and the music of the Smiths, you’ll love this one like I did.

The Curse – Paramount+ with Showtime 11/10
The Crown (Season 6, Part 1) – Netflix 11/16
With the former, I have no idea what to expect. This new series from the twisted minds of Benny Safdie and Nathan Fielder follows a married couple (Fielder and Emma Stone) and the problems they encounter while filming their HGTV show and dealing with the titular hex. It won’t be for everyone, but will almost certainly be for me.
We do know what to expect with the latter, as the luxurious, quietly devastating drama about the lives of Elizabeth II and her family comes to a close. Part 2 will premiere next month.

Six Feet Under (Complete Series) – Netflix 11/1
As part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s new licensing agreement with Netflix, HBO’s Emmy-winning drama gets a much wider audience. The drama about death and family dysfunction ran five seasons, finding the humor and humanity in grief.
