3 new to Prime Video movies with 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes
We're somehow in June already, and Prime Video is rolling out another batch of movie titles to sink your teeth into. As always, the streaming service's library is packed with a mix of classics, recent hits and a few hidden gems. But if you're someone who likes to let the critics do some of the legwork, it's worth narrowing your search by looking at what's earned top marks. While there's no shortage of well-reviewed movies in this month's lineup, only a handful actually crossed that elusive 90% threshold on Rotten Tomatoes — a mark that signals near-universal praise and a strong bet for your next movie night. The three picks below all cleared that bar and are now available to stream. Here are the most critically acclaimed new additions to Prime Video in June 2025. We're starting off with an absolute classic. '12 Angry Men' is a courtroom drama about a jury deliberating the fate of a teenage boy accused of murdering his father. The entire movie takes place almost entirely in one room, where 12 jurors must come to a unanimous verdict. At first, nearly all of them are convinced the boy is guilty. But one juror (Henry Fonda) has doubts and refuses to convict without discussing the evidence more thoroughly. As tensions rise and personalities clash, the jurors are forced to confront their own biases, assumptions, and the concept of reasonable doubt. It's a gripping, dialogue-driven movie about justice and the importance of standing up for what's right, even when you're the only one doing it. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%Stream it on Prime Video now 'Moneyball' is based on the true story of Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A's baseball team, and his revolutionary approach to building a competitive team on a limited budget. Faced with losing his star players and unable to afford big-name replacements, Beane (Brad Pitt) teams up with a young Yale economics graduate, Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), to challenge traditional scouting methods. They use data-driven analysis known as sabermetrics to identify undervalued players who can still deliver results. The movie isn't just about baseball but about challenging the status quo and finding value where others don't. 'Moneyball' is as much about heart and strategy as it is about the game itself. Rotten Tomatoes score: 94%Stream it on Prime Video now 'Some Like It Hot' is a classic screwball comedy about two down-on-their-luck musicians who witness a mob hit and go on the run by disguising themselves as women and joining an all-female band. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon play Joe and Jerry, who become 'Josephine' and 'Daphne' to hide from the gangsters chasing them. On the road with the band, they meet the charming and naive Sugar Kane (played by Marilyn Monroe), a ukulele player with a troubled romantic past. Complications ensue as Joe falls for Sugar while pretending to be a woman, and Jerry unexpectedly finds himself being courted by a wealthy older man. 'Some Like It Hot' is actually widely regarded as one of the greatest comedies of all time. Rotten Tomatoes score: 95%Stream it on Prime Video now

St. Francis hosts Law Day luncheon
LORETTO, Pa. – St. Francis University in Loretto hosted a luncheon Friday to mark Law Day, an annual observance that celebrates the rule of law and aims to cultivate a deeper understanding of the legal system. The luncheon was held at the university's John F. Kennedy Student Center. The keynote address was given by Marianne Corr, vice president and general counsel at the University of Notre Dame. Corr was introduced by university President the Rev. Malachi Van Tassell, TOR, who also delivered the invocation. Judge Judith Ference Olson, of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, a 1979 St. Francis alumna, gave the welcome. Several area judges and elected officials were among about 150 attendees. Law Day is observed May 1 each year. The 2025 Law Day theme is 'The Constitution's Promise: Out of Many, One.' President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958 established the observance 'as a day of national dedication to the principles of government under law,' according to the American Bar Association, which says it 'provides an opportunity to understand how law and the legal process protect our liberty, strive to achieve justice, and contribute to the freedoms that all Americans share.' Previous Law Day observances have brought high-profile keynote speakers to St. Francis, including then-U.S. Sens. Joe Biden, in 1982, and Rick Santorum, in 1998; '12 Angry Men' actor E.G. Marshall in 1991; and Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel whose 'Starr Report' led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, in 2000. The university's list of past keynote speakers also includes justices of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, attorneys general of Pennsylvania, federal district and appellate court judges, and other notable legal figures. Before the luncheon, Bishop Mark Bartchak, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, presided over the Red Mass, a Catholic Mass offered annually for members of the legal profession, at the university's Immaculate Conception Chapel. Van Tassell was the concelebrant. The Most Rev. Michael Higgins, TOR, gave the homily. Recently deceased members of the Cambria County and Blair County bar associations were remembered in the event program – John Gibson, Margaret O'Malley, R. Bruce Brumbaugh, Margaret Dallas and Judge Fred B. Miller.

Review: ‘CineHouse' in Riyadh
If you love cinema but are tired of the same old blockbusters showing at the major chains, then CineHouse in Riyadh's Ar-Rabi district could be just what the doctor ordered this Eid holiday. Opened late last year by Saudi producer Faisal Baltyuor, the city's first ever art house cinema has become a haven for movie enthusiasts keen to see classic, modern and cult favorites in a stylish setting. Located in One Square, CineHouse's three screening rooms have an elegant, old-school charm, with art deco lamps, marble floors and vintage film posters. Each room also has fewer seats than a standard cinema, which adds to the comfort and coziness. But with 4K laser projectors and an Atmos sound system the audio and visuals are top quality. The movie offering is rich and diverse. Recent screenings include classics such as '12 Angry Men' and 'Silence of the Lambs' and more modern fare such as Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' and last year's Palestinian indie favorite 'Passing Dreams.' The venue also hosted Korean Film Week and recently screened a selection of popular Arab shorts, including 'Dunya's Day,' 'I Am Afraid to Forget Your Face' and 'Al-Sit.' As well as the cinematic offerings, CineHouse serves up an excellent choice of dining options, including steaks and pasta, all feshly prepared to order. Tickets range from SR80-100 ($21-27).

In today's edition: Okay, picture a 2020s D.C.-based reboot of '12 Angry Men'; the jury goes something like this: 'A White, middle-aged, lady journalist … a lawyer, a retired accountant and a woman whose father was a Secret Service agent for Lady Bird Johnson, the former first lady. There were six Black people, four White people, one very pregnant Asian woman and an immigrant from Iran. There was a very antsy 20-something and a creaky octogenarian.'
