New movies to stream from July 28-Aug. 3

- Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme" (streaming now on Peacock) stars Benicio Del Toro as Anatole "Zsa-zsa" Korda, a wealthy and unscrupulous European industrialist. After the latest assassination attempt on his life, he decides to leave his estate to one of his many children, Lisel (Mia Threapleton), a novitiate. Michael Cera co-stars as a Norwegian insect expect named Bjørn. In her review, the AP's Jocelyn Noveck wrote that the film finds Anderson "becoming even more, well, Wes Anderson than before."

- The Netflix romance "My Oxford Year" (streaming Friday, Aug. 1) follows a young American student named Anna (Sofia Carson) in her long-dreamt-of year at Oxford University. Corey Mylchreest co-stars as a local love interest in the film directed by Iain Morris.

- Movie soundtracks once played so much more of a role in popular culture. A new series on the Criterion Channel collects some of the films from the soundtrack's heyday, the 1990s, when songs from movies like "Trainspotting" (1996) and "Singles" (1992) dominated the airwaves and MTV. Also running this month on Criterion are "Grosse Pointe Blank" (1997), "So I Married an Axe Murderer" (1993) and "Judgement Night" (1993).

New video games to play from July 28-Aug. 3

-- Games set in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth usually want to drag us back to Mount Doom for another confrontation with the Dark Lord.

It's a cozy sim from Weta Workshop, the company behind the special effects in Peter Jackson's films. You can grow a garden, go fishing, trade with your neighbors and -- most important for a Hobbit -- cook and eat. It's about as far from Mordor as it gets, and you can start decorating your own Hobbit Hole on Tuesday on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, Switch or PC.
