There's no shortage of ways to spend a weekend on the couch, and this month Prime Video is making a strong case for staying put while August gives way to September. Amazon's streaming service has loaded up its library with new movies for this weekend, with a few that are absolutely worth your time.Rather than make you dig for the good stuff, I've pulled out three films that stand above the rest, and they couldn't be more different from one another. There's "Is God Is," a revenge thriller that critics have fallen hard for. There's "Back to the 90s," a goofy, good-hearted time-travel comedy about a boy band lost in the wrong decade. And there's "The Last Sunrise," a tender summer romance set against the beaches of Mallorca, from Anna Todd. Yes, that Anna Todd.Ready to start watching? Here's why each one is worth a spot on your watchlist this weekend.'Is God Is'

What it's about: Twin sisters Racine (Kara Young) and Anaia (Mallori Johnson) were burned and scarred as small children in a fire they barely survived. Now 21, they're summoned to the Deep South to the deathbed of their dying mother, a woman known only as "She," or "God," who's covered in scars of her own. She tells them the truth: their father set the fire that disfigured all three of them. Now, she wants them to make him pay. The sisters take up arms and set out to take revenge on the man who ruined their lives.Why you should watch it: This genre-bending revenge thriller is one of the most acclaimed films of the year. It's currently sitting at an impressive 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. But if critic reviews don't mean much to you, you won't want to miss Kara Young and Mallori Johnson as the two scorned sisters.Stream "Is God Is" on Prime Video now'Back to the 90's'
