Max, who is renowned for producing and presenting high-caliber movies, will have several films available on the streaming service starting next month. Watchers of all ages will probably find something to enjoy with something from every genre.
With so many alternatives available in a wide range of genres for February, moviegoers should curl up on the sofa and choose a film to watch while the bitter cold of winter persists outside. Max will offer a few different documentaries that are worth checking out for film enthusiasts.
Both provide a good story, even though they address completely diverse subjects. Horror enthusiasts will also be treated to a treat when director Ari Aster releases his second feature on the streaming platform. Fans of obscene, extravagant humour will probably find Dicks: The Musical to be satisfying.
Max will still be able to provide you with something more family-friendly, though. Finally, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s San Andreas, which is also set to release on the streaming service next month, is the perfect movie for anyone who likes catastrophe films.

Such a movie, which also stars Megan Mullally, Nathan Lane, Megan Thee Stallion, and Bowen Yang, isn’t for the weak of heart, but it is most definitely for everyone who wants to engage in a disgusting and joyously trashy film.
