Everything coming to Amazon Prime Video in April 2019
Ready to plan your next month’s binge?
While Prime Video is a little low on TV selections this time around — with one notable exception, more on that later — the streaming service is offering up a wide array of movies for you to marathon this April.
If you’re looking to check a few classics off your longstanding “to watch” list, try out action flicks like Tom Cruise’s Top Gun or one of the available James Bond flicks, including Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice, and more.
For something a little more offbeat, revisit creepy cult favorites Beetlejuice and Addams Family Values.

Apple flexed its wallet today in a way Facebook has scared to do. Tech giants make money by the billions, not the millions, which should give them an easy way to break into premium video distribution: buy some must-see content. That’s the strategy I’ve been advocating for Facebook but that Apple actually took to heart. […]

Apple announcements are usually a big event, but the first of 2019 was a bit more celebrity-laden than usual.
Jennifer Anniston, Steve Carrell, Reese Witherspoon, Jason Momoa, and even Oprah all gathered at the Steve Jobs Theatre today to promote Apple’s new upcoming streaming video subscription service, Apple TV+.
With a slew of shows slated featuring big Hollywood celebrities, Apple’s stepping into the streaming video subscription ring with current heavyweight Netflix obviously dominating headlines. But it’s Apple’s other TV-related announcement, Apple TV Channels, that’s primed to cause a more immediate shakeup in the market — and it’s Amazon that should be worried. Read more…

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and other video streaming service subscribers now outnumber their cable subscribing counterparts.
According to a report by the Motion Picture Association of America, online video subscriptions surpassed the number of cable customers in 2018.
The MPAA’s report says there were 613.3 million online video service subscriptions as of last year, a 27 percent increase from 2017. Those 131.2 million new customers helped video streaming services exceed cable’s 556 million subscribers for the very first time.
Also assisting video subscription services in surpassing cable: cord cutters. Cable’s overall customer base fell 2 percent in 2018, according to the MPAA report. Read more…

Amazon pulls anti-vaccination documentaries from Prime Video
Amazon appears to be pulling anti-vaccination documentaries from the company’s Prime Video service after a US lawmaker urged the tech giant to crack down on the content.
The documentaries Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe, Man Made Epidemic, and Shoot’ Em Up: The Truth About Vaccines were previously available on Amazon’s streaming service. But on Friday, journalists from CNN and BuzzFeed began noticing you could no longer find them.
Less than two hours ago, a search for “vaccines” on Amazon Prime had VAXXED (an anti-vax doc) as the top result. Now, that video doesn’t appear anywhere in the search results, and you can no longer stream VAXXED on Amazonpic.twitter.com/NYWJ1DUJ7h

Winter is slowly, but surely coming to a close. Still, the binge rages on! Here’s what Amazon Prime Video is cooking up for your March streaming needs.
As per usual, new television options are a little bit lacking on the Prime Video front — save a new Kate Beckinsale series that looks pretty bananas, more on that later — so you’ll probably have better luck sticking with their movie offerings.
If you’re looking to round out your 2019 Oscars knowledge, check out Paweł Pawlikowski’s stunning Cold War, a Polish love story nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

View More Everything coming to Prime Video in March 2019Jordan Peele’s ‘Lorena’ docuseries is about way more than a severed penis
It’s never too late to reconsider the facts.
If you’re a true crime fan or were, y’know, alive in 1993, then chances are you’ve heard of Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt — the infamous couple who took tabloids by storm thanks to a severed penis.
Executive producer Jordan Peele’s new four-part docuseries, Lorena, asks modern viewers to reevaluate where now Lorena Gallo and her shocking actions on “that night” reside within our collective memory and sympathy. That request is one worth granting.
The 1990s were a dramatic time for headlines, particularly within the crime realm. Nancy Kerrigan’s shattered knee, O.J. Simpson’s infamous white Bronco, and JonBenét Ramsey’s macabre glamor shots plastered tabloid covers for much of the decade and continue to darkly fascinate through modern retellings. Read more…

The days are short, the weather is blustery, and everything in Walgreens is covered with hearts. Time to plan your February binge, baby! Here’s what’s streaming on Prime Video to help you round out your queue(s) for next month.
