TV & MOVIES ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’
An epic battle of fantasy prequels is nigh. "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" debuts Friday on Amazon Prime Video, on the heels of HBO's "House of the Dragon." which is set two centuries before "Game of Thrones." The Amazon series takes place much earlier in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" novels, with evil a threat to peaceful Middle-earth. Whatever the dueling body counts may be, "House of the Dragon" set a high bar for viewership: Nearly 10 million tuned in to make it the most-watched series premiere in HBO history. Amazon's early brag is that a "The Rings of Power" promotional spot during Super Bowl LVI was the game's most-watched trailer ever. DETAILS
‘Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul’
Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown star in the satirical comedy "Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul," opening in theaters and streaming on Peacock starting Friday. Brown plays husband to Hall and the pastor of a Southern Baptist megachurch that needs a big comeback in the aftermath of a scandal. The directorial debut of Adamma Ebo premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. DETAILS
‘Explorer’
Also available on demand this week is the documentary "Explorer," which delves into the life of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who the Guinness Book of Records called "the world's greatest living explorer." That might have been in 1984, but according to his website he remains the only man alive ever to have travelled around the Earth's circumpolar surface. And at 78, he's getting more reflective than he ever has been before in director Matthew Dyas' film. DETAILS
‘Jurassic World: Dominion’
"Jurassic World: Dominion" also makes its debut on Peacock on Friday. The third and, supposedly, final installment to the "Jurassic World" series invites original "Jurassic Park" stars Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum to join the Chris Pratt/Bryce Dallas Howard crew. Though not the best movie of the bunch, there are moments, especially when DeWanda Wise is on screen. DETAILS
‘The Phantom of the Open’
In 1976, Maurice Flitcroft, a shipyard crane operator, entered the British Open without ever having played golf before and shot the worst qualifying round in the tournament's history. His story gets a quirky, uplifting spin in "The Phantom of the Open," starring Mark Rylance as Maurice and Sally Hawkins as his wife Jean, which is available on video on demand this week. In her AP review, Jocelyn Noveck wrote that "The closing footage of the real Maurice is utterly fascinating and hints that perhaps his story wasn't as sweet as the one we've just seen. But it's hard to deny it's been a darned enjoyable 18 holes." DETAILS
‘No-Recipe Road Trip with the Try Guys’
The quartet of pals and business partners known as The Try Guys have gained a big YouTube following with their funny and offbeat willingness to venture into untested (for them) waters.
