As many of you know, I am a fan of Amazon Prime video selections. Each month they publish their upcoming video selection on their site, but what is worth seeing?

Here’s a list of my picks for the month:

This movie is almost too good to be an Amazon original. The Aeronauts stars Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne headline this story of a 19th century balloon flight that went higher than anyone in history. It plays on your fear of heights … strongly. Hang on tight for a harrowing journey. And, yes, I know the bit about a female pilot is not historically accurate. But why let facts get in the way of a good story???

Now, you want a bad story? Like tragically bad? Welcome to 2018’s Slay Belles about three “urban explorer” YouTuber’s that get mixed up with Barry Bostwick‘s biker Santa Claus and a killer Krampus. There are a lot of Krampus movies out there. Skip this one. Yeech!

Save yourself some time and pour bleach into your eyes for a similar experience.

I just started Season 3 of Billy Bob Thornton‘s Goliath. While this is not on a level with his first season of work on Fargo, he is good in this series and three episodes in, I think it may get as good as Season 1 but not as bad as Season 2. Season 2 sure had some hard time sticking the landing, but it was still fairly decent, but when this show pops on all cylinders, it is worth the watch. Give it a look. This season includes Beau Bridges, Amy Madigan, Griffin Dunne, and Dennis Quaid.

I discovered Killer Mermaid is on Amazon Prime. Not a good flick, but awful hard to find anywhere else. If you want to see a mermaid that doesn’t sing with a crab, but rather might have a case of them, check this one out. While I wouldn’t quite recommend it, it is enough of an oddity, the curious horror fans out there might want to train their eyeballs on it briefly.
