  "account": "This weekend, Hulu is offering three new movies that are worth adding to your movie marathon. While the newest addition, Desert Warrior, only has a 28% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, there are three other newly added films that are definitely worth watching.\n\nFirst up is The Christophers, a 2026 black comedy movie starring Steven Soderbergh's Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel. The film follows a reformed forger turned art restorer, Lori (Coel), who is hired to pose as an assistant to her employer's artist father, Julian (McKellen). The plan is for Lori to finish Julian's eight incomplete works without him knowing, in hopes of becoming rich once he passes away. This movie has received rave reviews and is considered one of the best films from 2026.\n\nNext is Violent Ends, a 2025 gothic crime thriller. The story revolves around Lucas (Billy Magnussen), a man who tries to distance himself from his criminal family. However, when an armed robbery goes wrong, he becomes entangled in the family business of small-town violence. If you grew up in a small town, this movie will resonate with you, as the setting is very similar to the Northwestern Arkansas location where the film was shot. Don't miss out on this gripping crime thriller.\n\nFinally, wrap up your movie marathon with Ex Machina, a sci-fi masterpiece from writer/director Alex Garland. The film stars Domhnall Gleeson as Caleb, a programmer who is invited to spend a week at the home of his company's CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon arrival, Caleb learns that his visit is actually to test a humanoid robot with artificial intelligence to see if she can pass for human. Garland's ability to create thought-provoking and visually stunning films is on full display in Ex Machina, making it a must-watch for any sci-fi fan.",
