Guilty Party on Voot Select-- This hilariously dark comedy explores the life of a disgraced journalist who finds her ticket back to success when she discovers the story of a young mother who has been incarcerated for life – for murdering her husband. Presenting deeply complex female characters taking on the unjust legal system, gun violence, and more, the ambitious series will leave you pondering. Kate plays the role of the lead journalist to perfection and will make you doubt if she was a journalist before!

Serendipity on Netflix-- Serendipity sets Kate Beckinsale and John Cusak as two star-crossed lovers who may or may not be destined for love together. This gloriously charming romantic drama narrates the story of a couple who is desperate to get in touch with each other years after they first met and fell in love. Beckinsale in particular is great fun to watch in the lead role and her endearing screen presence gives the film endless re-watch value.

Underworld on Amazon Prime Video-- When Selene, a vampire, meets Michael Corvin after he is bitten by a Lycan, she has to decide if to destroy him, or go against everything she was taught as a Death Dealer, and let him live.  Underworld quickly became a cult favorite amongst genre fans for its quick action scenes, new mythology, and Beckinsale’s portrayal as Selene. Known mostly for her dramatic parts n previous films, she proved that she was an action star, and performed one of the slickest superhero landings ever.

Contraband on Netflix-- This action crime drama is hit amongst cults, starring Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale. After a man discovers that his brother-in-law is in trouble with a drug lord. The man, a former smuggler himself, goes to Panama to get millions of dollars - all in counterfeit bills. With Giovanni Ribisi and Kate Beckinsale at his side, this movie is certainly for all action and crime lovers.

The Aviator on Amazon prime Video-- One of Martin Scorsese’s finest works of the 21st century, The Aviator, like most of his other works, is a film elevated to new heights by its stunning cast. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Beckinsale deliver, arguably, the 2 best performances of the movie. Beckinsale as Ava Gardner manages to bring a sense of maturity to the role that seems quite simple on the surface which is what lets her performance gets slipped under. She’s bold, charismatic, charming, seductive and so beautifully vulnerable. In the scenes featuring DiCaprio, she brilliantly manages to stand up to him which is saying a lot.
