1Infinity Pool
Make no mistake: Infinity Pool is a scary movie with some very creepy moments, so skip it if that’s not your thing. It stars Alexander Skarsgård as James, an author who’s enjoying a vacation with his wife Em (played by Cleopatra Coleman) when he accidentally kills someone and has to either die as a consequence or fork over a ton of cash for a clone of himself to stand in for his execution. It might not sound very sexy, but stay for the orgy scenes and a very sensual performance by Mia Goth, horror queen.
In theaters January 27
2Magic Mike’s Last Dance
Channing Tatum reprises his iconic role as “Magic” Mike Lane, a male exotic dancer who meets a wealthy socialite (played by Salma Hayek Pinault) in Miami and travels with her to London to put on a brand-new show as his last hurrah. Expect everything you know and love about the previous two Magic Mike movies to be front and center here: an abundance of (excessively oiled-up) abs, body rolling, muscles, more sexy dancing…yes, please.
In theaters February 10, will reportedly stream later on HBOMax
3Your Place or Mine
Reese Witherspoon, queen of rom-coms, stars as Debbie alongside Ashton Kutcher’s Peter, two long-term best friends with totally opposite lives (Debbie in L.A., Peter in New York) who decide to switch homes for a week and realize their feelings for each other might not be as platonic as they thought. (Especially considering they hooked up on the very first night they met. 👀) Come for the witty banter between these two iconic actors, stay for the very steamy love scenes.

4Somebody I Used to Know
Alison Brie (who also cowrote the film with husband Dave Franco, so you know it’s going to be ~romantique~) stars as Ally, a woman who goes back to her hometown and spends a magical day with her ex-boyfriend Sean (played by the dreamy Jay Ellis), only to find out he’s engaged to a very cool lady named Cassidy (played by the equally dreamy Kiersey Clemons). Drama ensues as Ally and Cassidy become friends.
On Prime Video February 10
5Creed III
Please note that you should absolutely not watch this movie if you are squeamish and sensitive to violence because, yes, this is a movie about boxing and it will be bloody. But please also note that this is the perfect movie to watch with your boyfriend “for the plot” because “the plot” = Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors shirtless. In the upcoming third installment of the Creed series, MBJ reprises his role as Adonis Creed, who goes face-to-face with his childhood friend Damian (played by Jonathan) after he gets out of prison. It also stars Tessa Thompson, if you needed yet another reason to watch, and fun fact, it’s MBJ’s directorial debut!
In theaters and IMAX March 3, will most likely stream later on Prime Video

7Passages
Emily Assiran//Getty ImagesPassages got a ton of buzz after premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and we can see why. The French film, directed by Ira Sachs, follows a gay filmmaker named Tomas (played by Franz Rogowski), who cheats on his husband Martin (Ben Whishaw) with a woman named Agathe (played by Adèle Exarchopoulos).
There’s no release date for this flick just yet, but it was recently acquired by distributor Mubi, so hopefully we’ll know more soon.
