10 titles to watch on Amazon Prime while in coronavirus quarantine!

Posted on March 31, 2020 | by Thomas Stein | Leave a Comment

Many of us are stuck at home these days. Most of us are completely healthy and well, but we stay inside to slow the virus down and to protect ourselves and those we love. So, what are we to do while inside all day? You should absolutely use the time to do something useful, like learning how to play an instrument, study some art-history, or maybe pick up a hobby you haven’t had time to entertain in years. But, when you are tired and just want to watch something on Amazon Prime, what should you actually watch?

Here I have gathered ten titles on Amazon Prime that I believe will help time fly and give you a great time while streaming. You will for sure not find all the movies and TV shows interesting, but I have tried to include something for those will all sorts of tastes.

Ten movies and TV shows to watch on Amazon Prime during your coronavirus quarantine

The Boys

The Boys is a quite new Amazon TV series that shows us that not all superheroes are nice. It is a very surprising show because of this, and it is entertaining, surprising, and packed with action at the same time. Since it is a TV series, you will have lots of episodes to watch, meaning that you will spend a full day binge-watching if you want to get through it all in one single day.

So, how can normal people stop a bunch of evil superheroes? That is the question, and you will find the answer if you decide to watch The Boys on Amazon Prime during your quarantine.

What to watch on Netflix during your Netflix quarantine

Jack Ryan

This is my favorite Amazon Original action series. John Krasinski plays the role of the analyst Jack Ryan. He gets into trouble all the time, and he is awesome at discovering clues and solving problems that often include high-ranking politicians and leaders. There are currently two seasons of Jack Ryan ready, and both of them are great.

Jack Ryan never reaches the intensity of 24 (with Kiefer Sutherland aka Jack Bauer), but it is as close as you get it on Amazon Prime.

Brittany Runs a Marathon

Brittany is fat and not at all in good health. In the middle of this, she makes the decision to run a marathon. It can almost be compared to suddenly getting a big vision for your life in the middle of your coronavirus isolation. Yes, it is often in such situations that dreams are born, and this movie might encourage you and cheer you up on a tough day. Will Brittany succeed running the marathon? That remains a question that you will find the answer to whenever you decide to watch this movie on Amazon Prime.

Bumblebee

Does it sound cool to watch a movie with a car that can turn into a robot? A little girl stumbles upon this car, and little does she know about it before she starts to polish the car and it suddenly turns into a robot. This is a great action movie for teenagers, and also for adults interested.

This isn’t an Amazon Original movie, meaning that I cannot guarantee that it will be around for a long time. But, at the time writing, you can watch Bumblee on Amazon Prime, included with your Prime subscription.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Would you like to be cheered up? The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is one of the most entertaining comedies of this present day. It isn’t exactly like How I met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, The Young Sheldon, and similar shows. Instead, this is a comedy that is packed with great jokes, but it is delivered in a paper of a serious world in which women aren’t accepted in the same way as their male colleagues.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is available with three seasons on Amazon Prime. In other words, this will give you loads of hours with good jokes and laughter in front of the TV during your coronavirus quarantine.

*What to watch on Amazon Prime during the coronavirus?*

Wild Kratts

Do you have some kids at home? Would you like them to maybe learn something while they are watching and relaxing in front of the TV? Wild Kratts is the perfect solution. This is almost like a nature show, only that it shows you two animated characters as they solve trouble involving animals. There are, of course, some bad guys involved in the how, but still, this is a perfect action-series for kids who want to have fun and learn at the same time.

You Were Never Really Here

Do you want to watch something even more depressing than the coronavirus? Then you should watch You Were Never Really Here. This movie stars Jaquelin Phoenix, the man who just received an Academy Award for his role as Joker in the movie Joker. He was amazing as the Joker, but in this movie, it is just depressing. But, if you like the guy, and if you like dark movies in which we see Jaquelin Phoenix in one of his classical and depressing roles, then this is perfect for you. In other words, if you like strange movies with Jaquelin Phoenix, this might be it!

Overboard

Would you like to watch a romantic movie on Amazon Prime during the COVID-19 isolation? Overboard is a romantic comedy, telling the story about a woman who works as a cleaning lady. She hasn’t had much luck so far in life, and it gets even worse as she meets a spoiled guy on his yacht. It is everything, just not love at first sight. It couldn’t be further from the truth.

However, things will change throughout the movie, and this will give you a chance to watch a romantic comedy that will cheer up your heart and your soul!

The ten best movies on Netflix during isolation

Mission Impossible: Fallout

The most recent movie in the Mission Impossible series with Tom Cruise can be streamed on Amazon Prime. The awesome thing is that you can watch this movie without watching the earlier Mission Impossible movies, and still have a great time and enjoy the full story of the movie.

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is the crazy secret agent who is capable of doing the most incredible tasks, all with the help of his friends. The stunts are wild, and the scenery of the movie is stunning. In other words, this is a two-hour-long adrenaline kick with lots of action, and beautiful scenery from Paris, and also from the Preacher’s Pulpit in Norway (the end of the movie).

A Simple Favor

Are you a fan of Anna Kendrick? In this movie, she plays the role of an innocent mother who meets a very special lady as she takes her girl to school. Her friend is mysterious, she is wealthy, and she has a special effect on her. But, then one day, she is gone! What happened to her? Anna Kendrick is in the middle of the entire story as she digs for the truth.

This is a typical thriller that comes down without being too scary, but at the same time, it has some interesting twists and it should be able to entertain you for a couple of hours.

Those were some suggestions for movies to watch on Amazon Prime during your Coronavirus isolation/quarantine. Do you have other suggestions or maybe ideas for what people should watch on Amazon Prime in these days?

I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

What’s coming to Amazon Prime in March 2020?

Posted on February 13, 2020 | by Thomas Stein | Leave a Comment - Last update: February 24, 2020

Are you looking for some interesting newcomers on Amazon Prime in March 2020? Will Amazon give you some good reasons to sit down in front of your computer or TV to stream some movies and TV shows in March? Here you have the highlights and the full list of movies and TV shows coming to Amazon Prime in March 2020.

There are four titles that I consider to be very interesting that will come to Amazon Prime in March 2020. Well, one of the four hasn’t been entirely confirmed to arrive in March, but hopefully, it will!

Highlights on Prime in March

The Pale Horse – Agatha Christie, but not Poirot!

Are you a fan of Agatha Christie? Then you will be happy about the arrival of The Pale Horse, a story based on an Agatha Christie book that was published in 1961. It is not the traditional Poirot story, but many call it an attempt from Agatha Christie to create a light-fiction crime story, with a supernatural touch to it, much inspired by Dennis Wheatley, a very popular author living and publishing at that very time in history.

Instead of Hercule Poirot, we meet Ariadne Oliver, a detective who is investigating crimes and murders in that given period. If you like Agatha Christie and crime stories, this might actually be a treat for you!

Blow the Man Down

This is an Amazon original story, that seems to become a great snack in March. Here we meet Mary Beth and Priscilla Connolly, two girls who have to cover up a crime they did. Well, they were forced to do so (kind of) as they met an evil man, but now they have to get rid of his body. With everything that happens, they also uncover lots of other crimes and problems in the city they live in, and this is a great movie for those who like the sound of what I have described so far.

The Vast of Night

This is the movie that should arrive in March, but we haven’t received an actual date for its release yet. But, hopefully it will, as it sounds really good and very interesting.

Two persons sit by a radio station in the night when they suddenly get hold of a signal from a special channel, in which criminals tell about crimes and scary stuff. Their discovery has the potential of changing the town they live in forever, but things will, of course, turn more complicated, and much scarier as they try to move on with the information they have in hand.

The Vast of Night - hopefully coming to Prime in March 2020

ZeroZeroZero

Would you like to know how the drug business is done? Well, follow the production from the workers to the brokers, to the sellers. And yes, we are taken on a journey in which a family member has to follow this trail from the start till the end, in order to ensure that business happens the way it is supposed to. Yet another interesting Prime original movie coming to our screens in March 2020.

What’s coming to Amazon Prime in February 2020?

Posted on January 23, 2020 | by Thomas Stein | Leave a Comment

Are you depressed because February is a dark winter month and it comes with cold weather outside? Are you looking for something to watch while sitting with a blanket? What is Amazon Prime bringing to you in February 2020 to help you out?

To be honest, I am not that enthusiastic about Amazon Prime and what it has to offer in February 2020. But, there are still quite a lot of movies and TV shows from earlier months that I haven’t seen yet, so I would probably consider some of those if you don’t feel happy about what’s actually coming to Amazon Prime in February.

If you haven’t seen TV shows such as Jack Ryan (season 1&2), The Boys, or maybe Brittany Runs a Marathon, you still have some nice stuff left waiting for you. If you are really depressed and want to feel even worse, watch the Oscar awarded movie Manchester by the Sea… a totally depressing movie!

But, let us take a look at the list of what’s coming to Amazon Prime in February!

The most anticipated show on Amazon Prime is Hunters. It stars Al Pacino and deals with an interesting group of people hunting down nazis who have hurt them and their families. They all have special skills that make them suitable for the job.

The movie HoneyBoy is also worth mentioning, a story about a family in which the kids do better than the dad. That isn’t always easy to digest for the older gal, and it is a brave and somewhat different movie.

The best VPN for Amazon Prime in 2020 (in the United States)

Posted on December 11, 2019 | by Thomas Stein | Leave a Comment

Are you thinking about which VPN to use with Amazon Prime in the United States in 2020? Which VPNs work with Amazon Prime? Which VPN service has the best prices? Everything you need to know before making a decision about which VPN provider to use with Amazon Prime in 2020.

Which VPN service should I use with Amazon Prime? — Which is the best VPN for Amazon Prime in 2020?

There are hundreds of VPN providers out there on the market, and there is a lot to think of before purchasing a subscription to any of these. Luckily, most of them come with solid refund policies, meaning that you can easily get your money back if it doesn’t work or if you do not like the service itself. But, before signing up – make sure to check it out, just to be sure. It might even be smart to check some VPN reviews online to see if the VPN provider is known to actually keep their word and refund money when asked to.

But, the VPN providers that I am about to mention all work well with Amazon Prime, and they also have solid full-refund policies that actually work, so there is no need to worry if you use one of the recommended VPN providers.

Why do I need a VPN to watch Amazon Prime?

A VPN is a Virtual Private Network, and it is a special connection you make to a VPN server that will encrypt your online activity. This is a way of hiding your online activities in order to stay safe and take care of your own privacy. It can also be used to bypass geo-blocks, meaning that you use it to access content on websites only available in certain countries. For example, lots of the content on Amazon Prime in the USA is only available to streamers in the United States. A way of accessing this content when abroad is by using a VPN. But, you will quickly notice that lots of VPN providers are blocked by Amazon Prime, and that is why I have written this article to help you out!

Error 4601 Amazon — Get rid of this error message on Amazon.com

What will happen if I use a VPN blocked by Amazon Prime?

If you just purchase a VPN subscription to any VPN provider out there, or maybe try using a free VPN (if you manage to find one), you will get different error messages on Amazon Prime. One of the error messages will make you seem to be abroad, and you will not even be able to load the video itself. Other error messages will take you to the actual site of the movie and series that you want to stream, but you will get the 4601 error message, and thus be blocked from actually watching the content.

The best VPN services for Amazon Prime in 2020

Here I will give you the names of a few VPN providers that will get the job done and that will help you stream Amazon Prime in the United States in 2020. Some of them might also work with Amazon Prime in Germany and in the United Kingdom, but I cannot guarantee that. But, considering that they all have full refund policies, there is no real risk involved in trying. Just ask for your money back if they do not work!

these are the VPN selection for Amazon Prime — The best VPN services for Amazon Prime in the United States – Gustavo Frazao / Shutterstock.com

The two best VPN providers for Amazon Prime

Let’s get started by mentioning two VPN providers that have worked constantly with Amazon Prime. These both come with full refund policies, and they have many extra features that make them great picks.

Watch Amazon Prime with ExpressVPN in 2020

This is the fastest VPN provider on the market, and also one of the more expensive VPN providers. But, you will get great value for your money, and they have worked without stop with Amazon Prime since the Jeff Bezos company started to block VPN providers. In other words, Amazon has never managed to block all of the ExpressVPN servers in the United States.

Click the button beneath to sign up and to get three extra months for free if you purchase a 12-months subscription.

Visit the ExpressVPN website(and watch Amazon Videos online)

After you have purchased a VPN subscription, download the ExpressVPN application to your computer, mobile device, tablet, Android TV, or whatever you use.

You can then select a random server in the United States and connect to it. You will then get an American IP address that works with Amazon Prime, and you should be ready to stream all your favorite Prime content in the United States all across the world.

Other benefits of an ExpressVPN subscription

The British Virgin Islands-based VPN provider comes with lots of additional features. Not only will they help you unblock Amazon Prime, but you can also use it to access Netflix regions all across the world (10 in total), you can use it to watch the British TV channels ITV and BBC, and it can be used to enjoy American streaming services such as HBO Now, Hulu, CBS All Access, Fox, Disney+, and many others.

ExpressVPN has beautiful applications available for all important platforms, and they even have browser extensions if you just want the VPN to run in your browser. The latter is useful if you just want to bypass geo-blocks in your browser, without sending all your online activity and computer activity through the VPN tunnel created by the VPN connection.

Besides this, they support the 256-bit AES encryption, the main application can take advantage of the kill-switch technology, and also split-tunneling. With a subscription, you can freely connect to as many servers as you want to, and there is no bandwidth limit. In addition, one subscription can be used on five different devices at the same time. As a result, one subscription should be enough for an entire family!

If you want to watch A Simple Favor on Amazon Prime (USA) abroad, you need to use a VPN. — If you have a Prime subscription, you can watch Anna Kendrick in A Simple Favor!

Watch Amazon Prime with PureVPN in 2020

A second VPN provider that is on my list of recommended VPN providers for Amazon Prime in 2020 is PureVPN. This Hong Kong-based VPN provider has worked constantly with Amazon Prime as well. Not only do they have many servers working with Amazon Prime, but they also make it easy finding those, as you can find it under the “popular websites” option in their VPN application. Simply look for Amazon Prime, double-click, and you will be connected to a server in the USA that works with Amazon Prime. Should you have any trouble, just contact their support team through the live chat at their website.

PureVPN is quite a lot cheaper than ExpressVPN, and if you click the button beneath, you will be entitled to even bigger discounts.

Visit the PureVPN website(great discounts available right now)

Click the button above, and once you have signed up, download their VPN application to your iPad, iPhone, Android device, Windows computer, Macintosh, or whatever device you use.

Open the application, choose the “streaming mode”, and click on Amazon Prime under “popular websites.” You will then be ready to stream Amazon Prime in the United States using PureVPN immediately. Do not forget, PureVPN has the longest refund policy on the market which is available for 30-days.

Other benefits of a PureVPN subscription

This isn’t really a big benefit, but PureVPN has one of the nicest installation processes among VPN providers on the market. This is a joy to watch and follow as the program is installed on your computer. And once you have the application up and running, you will quickly discover that PureVPN can be used to unblock lots of websites. Just take a look at the list of popular websites, and you will understand what it is all about.

Besides this, there are lots of websites that can be unblocked with PureVPN that you cannot see on the list of popular websites. For example, you will only find Netflix US on the list, but you can actually use PureVPN to access content in 7-8 other Netflix regions as well. That is kind of cool, isn’t it?

UK TV networks such as ITV and BBC are, of course, supported, and the same is true about all the popular streaming sites in the United States as well, including Disney+.

PureVPN comes with browser extensions, support for split-tunneling, the highest level of encryption, and their live support at the websites is also useful if you ever need some assistance along the way.

One more VPN provider to consider for Amazon Prime

If you, for some reason, don’t want to use neither PureVPN nor ExpressVPN, there is one more provider that is coming strong and that should work very well with Amazon Prime. The name of the VPN provider is Surfshark. They haven’t been around for such a long time, but they seem to work very well with Amazon Prime still. Besides working with Amazon Prime, this is the VPN provider that works best with Netflix, giving you access to 15 different Netflix regions.

A small minus is the speed of their VPN services. This is a quite slow VPN provider, which might result in websites loading slower, and download speeds decreasing quite a lot. But, they also come with a 30-day refund policy. As a consequence, just ask for your money back if you do not like the service.

Visit the Surfshark website(and get ready to stream)

Surfshark VPN has very low prices (quite similar to PureVPN). They come with a great support team, and they have applications for all important platforms. They also have a nice looking application available for Amazon Fire TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick, meaning that it should serve you well if you bring your Fire TV abroad and still want to watch Amazon Prime content that is blocked at your current location.

Some VPN providers to avoid if you want to watch Amazon Prime

The mentioned VPN providers all work well with Amazon Prime. But, then there are lots of VPN providers that don’t really work well with Amazon Prime. Some of them have servers working with the streaming services at times, but then they are blocked and it doesn’t work. So, it is very unstable, and considering that they are located in the United States or maybe in the UK, they are not really allowed to advertise their support for such services either. As a result, they are good for encrypting your online activity, but they will not help you much if you plan on streaming Amazon Prime.

Some examples of such VPN services are IPVanish and HideMyAss. But, I didn’t say that they never work, I just said that they have tons of servers in the United States, and 99% of those are blocked (if not 100%), and they are not really allowed to support such activities, making it a bad option for those who want to enjoy Amazon Prime while using a VPN. It should also be said that if you first buy a VPN subscription, get your hands on one that will give you as many bonuses as possible (for example, giving you access to several other Netflix regions).

Which VPN do you use with Amazon Prime?

I have written down some words about what I consider to be the best VPN providers for Amazon Prime in 2020. Which VPN provider are you using? Have you listened to my recommendations? I would love to hear about which VPN provider you have decided to use and whether or not you are satisfied with the product, the speeds, the price, and everything there is to the VPN provider.

Write a comment and let me know what’s on your heart

Should you have any questions about one of the mentioned VPN providers, need some help along the way, or if there is anything else, write a comment and I will do my best to answer and to help you out!

It has been a while since I wrote about the best Christmas movies on Amazon Prime in 2019. If you remember the article (and the YouTube video), it is a sad experience, simply because there isn’t really anything worth watching at all. But, will any of the additions to Amazon Prime in December 2019 make the streaming service more worth using?

Some thoughts on what’s coming to Prime in December 2019

Forget about these texts, they are not correct and not about December 2019 on Amazon Prime!

Once again, these are my own thoughts and might not reflect what other people think. But, I have got to say that I will most likely use other streaming services more frequently that Amazon Prime also in December 2019. Disney+ has just entered the arena, and even though they haven’t got a lot of new stuff coming in December 2019, they will still bring us the final episode of The Mandalorian, and that in itself is a highlight one shouldn’t forget about.

I have looked through the lists of what’s coming to Hulu, HBO Now and Netflix in December 2019, and honestly, none of the streaming services come up with a lot of great stuff. But, I think that is more what the future will be like. Everything will be about original productions, so instead of getting your hands on famous and big Hollywood titles, it will rather be about watching the upcoming and original content of the different streaming providers.

The Last Post - coming to Prime in December 2019

Nightcrawler is a movie that will come to Amazon Prime in the start of December. It received lots of praise and good critics after its release in 2014, but still, it isn’t enough to make me happy about Amazon Prime as a streaming portal in December 2019.

The Last Post might be the most interesting title on the list. This is an Amazon original series, and it deals with people living on the front and what their lives are like. It is supposed to be packed with surprising elements, romance, and more, so this might be worth checking out.

A Simple Favor review

Posted on November 12, 2019 | by Thomas Stein | Leave a Comment

A Simple Favor is a movie from 2018 starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. It was directed by Paul Feig, and people had high expectations for the movie before watching it. Did they end up disappointed, or was the movie just as good (or even better) than people expected?

I came to the cinema with great expectations as I got ready to watch A Simple Favor. It sounded really promising, and I expected an exciting movie that would be packed with intensity, smart movies, and a tricky plot. Well, the movie kind of gave all of this to me, but still, I left the cinema quite disappointed. And, I am not the only one who felt that way.

A Simple Favor feedback in general

Based on more than 100,000 votes on IMDb, the movie currently has a rating of 6.8. That is an okay rating, but not at all an especially good one.

The Rotten Tomatoes audience has been fairly nicer to the movie, and it has an 85% critics score, while the audience score is 73%. Now, these scores might give you a hint about the quality of a movie, but I have often discovered that I don’t agree with such ratings at all, so let me share with you my thought about the movie!

My thoughts on A Simple Favor (2018)

A few words about the story (no spoilers)

Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) plays the role of a naive mother who meets up with Blake (Emily Nelson). The latter is a rich person, she has everything, she has style, she has a nice house, and everything seems to be extremely perfect. Stephanie enjoys the relationship, but one day Blake just disappears. What is going on? Stephanie is out on a quest to discover what has happened, and together with the husband of Blake (whom she somehow likes a bit too much), they try to understand what is going on.

You can watch A Simple Favor on Amazon Prime

Great potential without the power to reach its destiny

When I went to the cinema to watch A Simple Favor, I had watched another movie a few weeks earlier named Searching. It was a kind-of similar movie, and the plot reminded me of A Simple Favor. The only difference was that Searching was more of a B-movie with no big names, while A Simple Favor has Anna Kendrick and a bigger Hollywood budget.

But, as I left the cinema, I knew for sure that I preferred Searching to A Simple Favor. It is hard to put words on what I didn’t like about A Simple Favor, but it just felt as if it never managed to come through. It had such great potential, but for some reason, it remained flat and almost boring.

And as the movie came to an end, I also felt as if the plot in itself ended up being quite boring.

A Simple Favor rating

I would give this movie a 5/10 score. It should have been way better, but at the same time, it could have been way worse!

A Simple Favor can now be streamed on Amazon Prime in the United States. I don’t know for how long it will be available on the platform, so if you have the intention of streaming the movie, I strongly suggest that you get started straight away!

What to watch on Amazon Prime for Christmas in 2019?

Posted on November 8, 2019 | by Thomas Stein | Leave a Comment

Christmas is a season of love, of joy, and of having a wonderful time together with those that we love. Watching a great movie together can be a wonderful time to spend such precious moments together, but what does Amazon Prime do to help you on your quest for the precious Christmas atmosphere in 2019?

I seem to remember from earlier years that Amazon Prime isn’t the best place to be if you want to stream awesome movies before Christmas. Has anything changed in 2019? I have just spent some hours looking through the movies available on Amazon Prime, and to be honest, the most interesting Christmas title will be removed from Amazon Prime on November 21st (The Man Who Invented Christmas).

There are a couple of movies that might be of interest to some, but the only quality content available is for kids and animated stuff.

Christmas content on Amazon Prime in 2019

There are lots of results if you search for Christmas movies available for Prime subscribers, but if you look at the quality of the actual results, you will almost be disgusted. Most of the productions have so bad quality that I would have made a better movie with my mobile phone at home (at least it feels as if I would have). Some of them haven’t even got trailers available, meaning that they were never meant to reach a large audience.

Luckily, there are a few exceptions. One such exception is the movie Noel, starring Penelope Cruz, Susan Sarandon, Paul Walker, and Alan Arkin. For some reason, this never reached the big audience either, but still – there are at least some famous actors taking part in the movie.

The second Christmas movie with some celebrities on Amazon Prime is A Merry Friggin Christmas. Here we meet Robin Williams, Pierce Gagnon, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Lauren Graham, and Joel McHale, in something that looks like a B- production. Still, it is one of the best options for those looking for a Christmas movie to stream on Amazon Prime in 2019.

What to watch on Amazon Prime for Christmas then?

That is the question I keep asking myself as well. If you have some kids in the house, show them an old mixture for classics which is available with the Prime subscription. You can also watch If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.

If you check the little clip above presenting the best Christmas content on Amazon Prime in 2019, you should definitely see it through. How come? After the presentation of lousy and poor Christmas movies available, you will see three movie recommendations that can be streamed on Amazon Prime that has nothing to do with Christmas. I guess they will give you a way better mood than those poor Christmas movies, so I would just go ahead and stream those instead.

Are you ready then? Or have you found a Christmas movie worth watching on Amazon Prime? Write a comment and let me know what’s on your heart!

The best movies on Amazon Prime for Christmas in 2019

Movies that should have been available on Amazon Prime

There are so many Christmas classics that should have been on Amazon Prime, but that is nowhere to be found. The Holiday and Love Actually might be the two biggest Christmas classics from modern times. And then you have lots of other Christmas movies that I would call B movies (4 Christmases, Christmas with the Kranks, and others). These are not really good movies, but compared to what’s available on Amazon Prime currently, it would be a dream to have these movies available.

I wish you all a fantastic Christmas and a happy new year!

Coming to Amazon Prime November 2019

What’s coming to Amazon Prime in November 2019? To be honest, one of the best months in a long time. So, take a look at the list and see if you will get something to look forward to as well!

I normally don’t stream much content on Amazon.com. In fact, I much rather use Hulu and Netflix, simply because there are more movies and TV shows available on those platforms that I love and that I enjoy. But, when I scrolled through the list of what’s coming to Amazon Prime in November 2019, I was surprised to see that there are at least 3-4 titles that made me curious and that I want to watch in November.

The Report (2019) – Amazon Original movie
Low Tide (2019)

I have written four titles in bold, and those are the four most interesting arrivals on Amazon Prime in November (the way I see it). The Report is a movie starring Adam Driver, a fantastic actor. He is working on unveiling the truth about the interrogations and what took place after September 11th.

Man in the High Castle season 4 will come to Amazon Prime in November — From Man in the High Castle season 4

But, Adam Driver isn’t the only person trying to unveil crimes. Jack Ryan, is also out there to solve the trouble. Even though it is a computer analyst, he is doing so much more, and in the second season of this action series from Amazon, he is dealing a lot with Venezuela and possible attacks and trouble coming from the country. I have watched the entire first season of the show, and I do hope they will manage to make the second season even better!

What would have happened if the Germans won the Second World War? Well, the final season of The Man in the High Castle will come to Amazon Prime in November 2019. This will, hopefully, be a worthy end to this very popular Amazon original series.

If I had to say which titles I look forward to the most, then it would probably be Jack Ryan season 2, and Brittany Runs a Marathon. The latter sounds and looks quite funny, and it makes me think of similar movies like I Feel Pretty (with Amy Schumer). So, here we have a girl with some trouble and who feels like nobody pays attention to her. One day, she decides to make a change and soon it turns into preparation for a marathon. Will she succeed? And will she feel more happy about herself after all of this?

How many people subscribe to Amazon Prime in the United States?

Posted on September 12, 2019 | by Thomas Stein | Leave a Comment

Would you like to know how many people subscribe to Amazon Prime in the United States? Do you have a guess? When I first created this page, the number was 10,000,000 people. Do you know how many people subscribe to Amazon Prime in the USA as of June 2019? You are about to know!

It is quite amazing to see that the number in June 2018 was 95,000,000 subscribers. That is a stunning number and considering that these all pay 10 USD per month (or more) for the service, it is amazing. But, the stagnation hasn’t started, because Amazon Prime seems to be growing and growing.

As a matter of fact… numbers from June 2019

The truth is, in June 2019, Amazon Prime in the United States had more than 105,000,000 subscribers. If all these numbers are correct, Amazon Prime had an increase of 10,000,000 subscribers in the USA in one year. That means, almost 30,000 new subscribers come to Amazon Prime every day (by average). That is just a crazy number!

There is no wonder why so many people come to this page to discover how they can watch Amazon Prime abroad. After all, with more than 105,000,000 subscribers, thousands and thousands of these reside outside the USA at all times, meaning that they need to find other ways to access Amazon Prime videos and content abroad.

What is even more interesting about these numbers is that an average Prime member spends 1400 USD on the platform every year. So, if they spend 150 USD on average paying for their Amazon Prime subscription, that is only 10% of the actual amount they spend on Amazon.com every single year.

How much did Amazon earn from Amazon Prime member subscriptions in 2018?
Would you like to know how much money was paid to Amazon in Amazon Prime membership fees in 2018? The number is 14.2 billion U.S. dollars.

It can also be seen that Prime members spend more, maybe because they are Prime members, or maybe they are Prime members because they spend more… I am not sure about that. However, those shopping at Amazon.com without a Prime subscription spend 600 USD on the platform on average annually, which is a much lower amount than those with a Prime subscription.

There is a trend that Amazon customers do most of their shopping from Amazon. That is why many people order groceries and daily necessities from Amazon, leading to several orders from the online store per weak. That is a very different mentality compared to those who only visit Amazon when they want to buy a certain product or something like that.

When will the amount of Amazon Prime subscribers start to decrease?

There is no sign of decrease when it comes to Amazon Prime subscription yet. The general trend is that the biggest get bigger, and it gets harder and harder to come forth with a little store in this world.

I will pay attention to what’s going on and write more articles in the future!

Coming to Amazon Prime in September 2019

Posted on August 30, 2019 | by Thomas Stein | Leave a Comment

I hope you have lots of programs planned for September 2019, because Amazon Prime in the United States will not bring lots of content worth streaming. Curious about what’s coming to Amazon Prime Video in September? Check the full list here!

I guess I should be enthusiastic and spread the joys of owning an Amazon Prime subscription. But, as I looked through the list of what’s coming to Amazon Prime on September 2019, I simply couldn’t find many reasons to smile and to rejoice. So, I guess I have got to go with honest instead, and to be honest, September on Amazon Prime is really crappy.

Coming to Prime Video in September — Undone – a new Amazon series coming in September 2019

Of course, the fact that Leslie Nielsen will come to Amazon Prime in September with his Naked Gun movies might be cool… but, we are in 2019, and it shouldn’t be a highlight when more than 20-year-old movies are added to a streaming platform. In the same way, the original Mad Max movies from the 80s will come to Amazon Prime, but should that really be a highlight?

If I should mention two more movies, it will be Face/Off and Event Horizon, both from 1997. These are awesome movies, and when I watched Event Horizon, I had trouble sleeping for a couple of days… it was really scary. Face/Off is a very different movie, but a truly brilliant one starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. It is really well made, and it is such a brilliant plot that I feel like watching it again thinking about the story and the plot of the movie.

Besides the mentioned movies, I would probably go to HBO or Netflix to watch some great content on those streaming services instead.
