What To Watch This Weekend

“Superman”

David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult; directed by James Gunn

The Man of Steel makes a blazing comeback with power, punch, and purpose in James Gunn’s “Superman (2025).” The epic crimson-caped blockbuster is pure high-octane spectacle — grounded in myth, charged by momentum. This Superman (David Corenswet) doesn’t just fly; he catapults into high-stakes, high-altitude battles with a mighty heart and beating soul. Meanwhile, Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), the love of his life, anchors his humanity as Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) plots Superman’s destruction. Check out Patch's full review of “Superman (2025).”

“Sovereign”

Nick Offerman, Jacob Tremblay, Dennis Quaid; directed by Christian Swegal

A tense political thriller infused with family drama, “Sovereign” follows a father-son duo (Nick Offerman and Jacob Tremblay) who are deeply entangled in radical ideology, one that rejects federal authority and institutional control. As they traverse the U.S. preaching that the government has no right to regulate people’s lives, their extremism escalates into violence, propelling them into the law’s crosshairs. Ultimately, their quiet rebellion ends in tragedy. Gripping and emotionally raw at its core, the film delivers a thought-provoking meditation on belief, identity, and the steep price of defiance.

(“Sovereign” is now playing in select theaters nationwide.)

“Daniela Forever”

Henry Golding, Beatrice Grannò, Kirsty J. Curtis; directed by Nacho Vigalondo

A cerebral sci-fi romance, “Daniela Forever” explores a crucible of love both lost and rediscovered — one story in grief, the other reimagined through fantasy. At its heart is Nicolás (Henry Golding), a 30-something man shattered by the sudden death of his girlfriend, Daniela (Beatrice Grannò). Consumed by longing and grief, he feels emotionally stuck and unable to move on. He seeks solace in an innovative lucid dreaming experiment — an immersive clinical trial where participants craft worlds shaped by memory and desire. Nicolás’ creation is a dream-crafted second chance at love, a tender illusion in which he reconnects with the love he lost. Will he truly find closure through artificial intimacy that blurs the line between healing and obsession?

“Dexter: Resurrection”

Michael C. Hall, Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman; show created by Clyde Phillips

“Dexter: Resurrection” sees Michael C. Hall return as the enigmatic Dexter Morgan — a blood spatter analyst by day, and a meticulous vigilante killer by night. Picking up just weeks after the events of “Dexter: New Blood,” the new series opens with Dexter miraculously surviving a gunshot from his own son, Harrison — only to awaken from a coma and discover that he has vanished. Driven by guilt and the need for redemption, Dexter heads to New York City. But his haunting past is about to catch up, as Captain Angel Batista closes in on the Bay Harbor Butcher. “Resurrection” amps up its star power with Uma Thurman and Peter Dinklage joining the cast in pivotal roles as enigmatic partners in a chilling conspiracy of killers.

(“Dexter: Resurrection” is now streaming on Paramount+ Premium — catch the two episode premiere and new episodes every Friday.)

“Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story”

Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Jordan Peele; directed by Laurent Bouzereau

The authorized 90-minute documentary celebrates the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s legendary blockbuster "Jaws." Featuring never-before-seen footage and heartfelt tributes, it dives into the groundbreaking production of the film that defined the summer blockbuster. Candid interviews with Spielberg and the original cast and crew offer rare insights and intimate stories from behind the scenes. But this isn't just nostalgia; the film also explores how "Jaws" has inspired a new wave of bold, visionary filmmakers, such as James Cameron, Guillermo del Toro, Jordan Peele, and J.J. Abrams.

(“Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story” is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.)

“Opus”

Ayo Edebiri, John Malkovich, Nathan Lane; directed by Julian Fellowes

“Opus” delivers a satirical take on fame, consummate artistry, celebrity worship and fandom. Enter Ariel Ecton (Ayo Edebiri), a rising journalist invited to a secluded desert compound by reclusive pop icon Alfred Moretti (John Malkovich). The special occasion? A private unveiling of Moretti’s first album in 30 years. However, the event quickly devolves into a surreal nightmare, as guests begin disappearing without a trace, and disturbing rituals unfold.

The big twist? Ariel survives — not by chance, but because Moretti planned it. Her exposé on the escape becomes a bestselling sensation — literally overnight. Yet, ironically, it is to the detriment of the very truth she meant to unmask.

(“Opus” is now streaming on Max.)
