Hot weekend in much of Italy, so if you have to stay home during the hottest hours, you might as well drink a lot of water while watching something on Prime Video. Our weekend recommendations start with two new films, One Fast Move for those who love engines and Arthur the King for cinephiles (this is not a mistake).
It’s not new but it just arrived in the catalog and it’s always worth a rewatch the complete collection of the 7 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Instead, moving on to expiring content we suggest The Invisible Child, Fanboys and above all the unmissable Not So Close. The choice is yours and have a good weekend!
