It's technically fall, but the heat wave and rain in the wake of Hurricane Isaias has me sweating too much to really believe that. With the weather finally cooling off, a cozy weekend inside catching up on my watchlist is on the docket. Perfect timing too, because Prime Video added over 130 new movies this month, including everything from slick original heist capers, poignant romantic dramas, and a supernatural caper that's nearly as bad as critics made it out to be.

Leading the pack of new arrivals is "Masterplan," an original globe-trotting thriller starring Stanley Tucci as a master thief who recruits two strangers to steal the Mona Lisa — only for it to be the most awkward family reunion imaginable. If you're in the mood for an emotional romance, Margaret Qualley and Aaron Pierre star in "Love of Your Life," a sweeping look at how a sudden twist of fate can redefine everything you thought you knew about love.

And for those who don't mind a guilty pleasure watch to kill an afternoon from time to time, might I suggest Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds' chaotic supernatural caper "R.I.P.D."? It's the "Men in Black" we have at home, a messy but undeniably fun ride that's worth watching for Bridges' bumbling swagger alone.

Whether you're looking for high-stakes heists, heartwarming romance, or otherworldly comedy, here are the three new-to-Prime Video movies you should add to your watchlist this weekend:

Stanley Tucci is an enigma to me. He never disappears into the characters he plays, but his effortless charm is so infectious it leaves me smiling like an idiot at the end of every movie he's in.
