Hulu is an excellent choice for building your next weekend movie marathon. The streaming service regularly adds both originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.Here's the thing, though. The movies added to Hulu aren't always good. Unfortunately, this week is a prime example of that fact, as "Desert Warrior" is the only new movie coming to Hulu this weekend. Given its 28% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I'm loath to recommend it.So, this weekend, I'm recommending three newly added movies from the past few weeks that are worth a watch this weekend, rather than strictly the newest movies to Hulu. "The Christophers" was just added last week and is a new Steven Soderbergh movie from earlier this year anchored around a pair of great performances from Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel. Once you're done with that, check out "Violent Ends," a 2025 crime thriller you almost certainly haven't seen before. Then, wrap up your movie marathon with "Ex Machina," a sci-fi masterpiece from "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" writer Alex Garland.So, here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend.
