If you are planning a marathon of films and TV series on Prime Video this weekend, you must read our streaming recommendations for this Friday. Starting from the catalog new releases, we highlight the (not irresistible) action film Canary Black, the Japanese series Like A Dragon: Yakuza and the Italian-American culinary show The Pasta Queen, which takes us to Puglia, Lazio, Campania and Emilia Romagna; other recent entries in the Prime catalog are the Halloween-themed films, X – A Sexy Horror Story and the new Immaculate – The Chosen One. However, five masterpieces that you cannot miss will disappear shortly because they are expiring: the Hobbit trilogy, given that season 2 of The Rings of Power has recently concluded, and two jewels by Christopher Nolan, Inception and Interstellar. The choice is yours and have a good weekend!
