Burial trailer pits the Russians vs. the Nazis in WWII

In IFC Midnight’s new film, Burial, it’s 1945 in Berlin, and Adolf Hitler is dead. WWII is nearing the end, but there is still work left to do. A group of Russian soldiers is given what they think is a simple task: Get Hitler’s dead body out of Germany. However, the soldiers learn they’re being followed, and the Germans want Hitler back.

At the center of the fictional story is Brana Vasilyeva, a female Russian soldier played by Charlotte Vega. In the trailer, Vasilyeva is worried about the mission and appears to be on edge at all times, knowing that Hitler’s remains are of the utmost importance to a lot of people, especially among the Germans. When their truck breaks down and the soldiers enter the town for supplies, the band of soldiers begins to realize they are being followed.

The Russians are being stalked by a group of German soldiers known as the “Werewolves.” The werewolves were a group of Nazi partisans tasked with harassing and fighting the Allied forces as they advanced through Germany. Their guerilla warfare tactics mirrored those of a werewolf, hence the name. The werewolves ambush the Russian unit as they attempt to steal Hitler’s body. However, Vasilyeva leads the remaining soldiers in one last stand because in her words, “The war is not over.”

What’s new on Paramount+ in November 2024
Billy Bob Thornton in Landman.

Paramount+ may have launched Taylor Sheridan's Lioness season 2 at the end of October, but it also has a new Sheridan-created series coming in November as well. Like many of Sheridan's recent shows, Landman boasts an impressive cast that includes Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Andy Garcia, Michael Peña, and more. But instead of focusing on the drama surrounding ranching like Yellowstone, Landman is shifting the focus to an oil company in Texas.

Showtime is also dropping a prominent new original series, The Agency, which features Michael Fassbender as a CIA operative named Martin who tries to figure out his identity after spending years on an undercover assignment. But only Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers can stream The Agency. And that's true of a lot of the latest movie additions as well. Showtime tends to get the A-list titles, and Paramount+'s lower tiers get everything else.

What’s new on HBO and Max in November 2024

The selection of new movies coming to HBO and Max in November is so thin that you could be forgiven if you accidentally mistook it for the lineup heading to Disney+. Twenty-three films are going to Max on November 1, which is well below the number that usually heads to streamers each month. That total includes the perquisite Christmas movies, many of which are also streaming on Hulu this holiday season.

So for films, November's a wash for Max. Thankfully, HBO's original programming, including Dune: Prophecy, Like Water for Chocolate, and a few new documentaries, makes Max worthwhile. Sports lovers also have the option to stream some NHL and NBA games, as well as cycling and "endurance car racing."
