Prime Video has given you loads of viewing inspiration this week!
If you’re a Prime Video subscriber in Ireland and the UK, then you’ve got 14 big new additions to the library to enjoy this week, starting with…
THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN

THE BORROWERS
A developer wants to knock down the home of a poor family, but it turns out that a group of tiny people living under the floorboards have different plans. A decent family-friendly movie.

EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS
Christian Bale plays Moses and Joel Edgerton plays Ramses in Ridley Scott’s mega-budget adaptation of the epic bible story. It actually isn’t very good, to be honest.

GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS
Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam star in this OTT story of football hooliganism.

LONE SURVIVOR
Mark Wahlberg and his gang of soldiers must make a run for the border after they’re caught behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. An incredibly intense action thriller.
LUCY
Scar-Jo ingests some new drug that… turns her into a robot god? Or something? It is absolutely bonkers, but also SOOOOO much fun.
PAUL
Seth Rogen again, this time voicing an alien who is trying to get home, with the help of two Comic-Con attendees (Nick Frost and Simon Pegg).
THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS
The creators of Despicable Me and The Super Mario Bros. are behind this remake of Toy Story, but with your pets replacing the toys.
