  "account": "The Last Sunrise, a glossy romantic drama on Prime Video, is the top choice for a summer send-off this weekend. Starring Maia Reficco and Eva Longoria, the story follows Oriah Pera, a college student dealing with chronic health issues, who meets a charming local fisherman while on a work trip in Mallorca. Although the central romance falls short, the golden-hour lighting and sun-soaked setting provide a perfect summer escape.\n\nFor nostalgic fans, Prime Video also offers Back to the 90s, a German comedy about five friends who get transported back to 1995 when one of them decides to leave their boy band. The movie provides fish-out-of-water moments and explores what it takes to make it as a band.\n\nOn Netflix, Adam Scott delivers a chilling performance in The Whisper Man, based on Alex North's bestselling novel. Scott plays Tom Kennedy, a crime novelist who moves to a new city with his son after his wife's death. When his son is kidnapped, Tom seeks help from his estranged father, Robert De Niro's detective Pete Willis. Together, they investigate the chilling suspect, The Whisper Man, a notorious serial killer.\n\nPeacock introduced a moody horror movie, The Woman in the Yard, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. Danielle Deadwyler stars as Ramona, a mother struggling to care for her children after her husband's sudden death. When a mute woman appears in her yard, Ramona is terrified. The film's scares build a genuinely satisfying and haunting payoff.",
