May 1st is the start of summer movie season and Steve Stebbing says the lineup is already delivering.

Three Movies, One Very Strong Warning

Devil Wears Prada 2 reunites Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci and Steve Stebbing says it justifies every year of the wait. The Miranda Priestly character has more depth than the original and the journalism-in-collapse storyline gives the sequel a reason to exist beyond nostalgia. Hocum is a different matter entirely. Irish director Damien McCarthy's film had audiences screaming at South by Southwest and Steve Stebbing says at least one person peed themselves at an advance screening. He is not recommending it for the easily frightened. Deep Water, with Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley surviving both a plane crash and a shark attack, is the fun one.

Streaming for the Weekend

Man on Fire on Netflix follows Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a PTSD-affected special forces soldier uncovering a murder conspiracy in Brazil across seven episodes. Steve Stebbing wants a second series and says audience response will decide it. Widows Bay on Apple TV Plus is a slow-burn horror comedy about a cursed New England town that Steve Stebbing names as his sleeper pick for the season.
