This month HBO Max announced plans to redesign the utterly terrifying app experienceThat’s good, not only because you’ll be able to overheat your pinned or fast-forward 10 seconds without your Roku loading, but also because there’s no reason to be consistently interesting, the most bang-for-your-buck -Streaming service should be best known for its shitty UX.
I mean, just look at the bounty that comes to church in September. There is another simultaneous theatrical and streaming premiere in Malignant (September 10), a new horror film by James Wan (The Conjuring, et al.) About a woman who is beginning to experience nightmares full of blood and murder who herself than turn out much more than dreams.
Even at 92, Clint Eastwood is still chugging along and making the kind of films your grandpa loves; On September 17th, HBO will release Max Cry Macho, a new film about Mexican immigration based on the 1975 novel. The film has reportedly been in the works for more than 30 years, a fact the trailer makes amazingly clear.
A handful of other new theatrical releases – Mortal Kombat (September 9), Those Who Wish Me Dead (September 30) – are also returning after their premieres with limited engagement. We’re also finally far enough from the wasteland of the 2020 movie release calendar that some really great films from last year are also on the rotation, including Oscar nominees News from all over the world (September 4th) and Promising Young Woman (September 25th).
Then there are the Max Originals – the streamer didn’t get that much exposure for its TV offerings, but some goodies are coming out, including a limited-edition remake of a classic Igmar Bergman film in Scenes From a Marriage (September 12), which portrays the breakup of the union of a couple played by Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain (and if those two beautiful human specimens fail, what hope is there for the rest of? US?). There’s also another Adventure Time movie (September 2nd) and the launch of the third season of Doom Patrol (September 23rd), the best superhero show on TV.
Oh, for some reason there is also this children’s animated series about Ellen Degeneres’ early years, Little Ellen (September 13th) that I can only guess went into production well before May 2021.
Here is the list of everything coming (and leaving) HBO Max in September 2021. Titles with (HBO) next to them are available on HBO and HBO Max; everything else is exclusive to HBO Max.
