New on Tubi in September 2024: Top picks
'Burn After Reading' (2008)
Fans of the Coen brothers will be happy to know that one of their most overlooked films just found a new home on Tubi. Looking back at it now, "Burn After Reading" feels ahead of its time. This black comedy from the creators of "The Big Lebowski" and "Fargo" takes aim at the CIA's incompetence and endless bureaucracy.
The story kicks off when CIA analyst Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) quits his job in a rage after his drinking problem earns him a demotion. This triggers a chain of chaotic events involving blackmail, a bungled office affair, and one of the most absurd intelligence leaks imaginable. Frances McDormand, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Tilda Swinton round out the rest of this star-studded cast, and Pitt, in particular, steals the spotlight as the Tweedledum among a pair of dimwitted gym employees, a performance that has since been immortalized in GIF form.

'Life of Pi' (2012)
"Life of Pi" was a veritable tour de force when it debuted in 2012, sporting some of the most sophisticated CGI at the time that's as much of an emotional gut punch as it is a technical marvel. Directed by Ang Lee, who would later go on to helm "Gemini Man," the movie centers on Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel (Suraj Sharma), a deeply religious young man who sets off with his family to start a new life in Canada after his parents sell their zoo in India.
After they board a freighter with their few remaining animals and set sail, a terrible storm sinks the ship, killing his family. Pi manages to survive in a lifeboat, but once the storm passes, he awakens to find a terrifying stowaway on board: a ferocious Bengal tiger. As days stretch into weeks and weeks drag into months, Pi and the tiger must learn to trust each other if they both want to get out of this alive.

'Jennifer's Body' (2009)
Speaking of movies that feel ahead of their time, "Jennifer's Body" was panned by critics when it first debuted in 2009, but it has since developed a cult following. "Yellowjackets" executive producer Karyn Kusama and "Juno" writer Diablo Cody helm this feminist horror comedy starring Megan Fox as the titular Jennifer, a high school cheerleader with a dark secret.
Her wallflower best friend, Anita (Amanda Seyfried), becomes concerned when Jennifer starts acting strangely out of the blue; she's horrified to learn that Jennifer's been possessed and now enjoys feasting on the flesh and blood of weak emo boys. It's up to Anita to put a stop to Jennifer's rampage, and then hunt down the satan-worshipping rock band responsible for her friend's horrible transformation to begin with.

'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' (2005)
Capturing the absurdist humor and sprawling universe of Douglas Adams' comedy sci-fi franchise in a single movie was a tall order, but "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" does an admirable job. Martin Freeman stars as Author Dent, a perfectly normal man who, despite his protests, gets roped into traveling the universe after Earth is scheduled to be demolished by an insufferably bureaucratic alien race.
Leading him through the stars is Ford Prefect, an alien who went undercover as a human to gather intel for his universal guidebook: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Ford introduces Arthur to the ways of space travel (don't forget your towel!) and they run into some familiar faces along the way, including many-headed Zaphod Beeblebrox (Sam Rockwell), the newly elected president of the Galaxy, and fellow Earth refugee Trillian (Zooey Deschanel). Together, they set out to uncover the meaning of life, or something close to it. Alan Rickman also makes a hilarious cameo as the clinically depressed robot Marvin.
