What’s New On VOD: ‘Whiplash’, JLaw, Oscar Winners And More

The weekend is here and, at last, you finally have some down time. Check out what’s just been added to Vudu, iTunes, and other on-demand platforms.

WATCH FIRST: Whiplash (2014)

New to VOD platforms and winner of three Academy Awards including Best Supporting Actor J.K. Simmons, Whiplash tells the story of a young jazz drummer (Miles Teller) pushed past his limit by his ruthless, abusive instructor (Simmons). [Where to stream Whiplash]

WATCH NEXT: Serena (2015)

Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are at it again, but instead of dancing to The White Stripes like they did in Silver Linings Playbook, they’re getting in touch with their country side in new Western romance drama, Serena. Newlyweds George (Cooper) and Serena (Lawrence) ambitiously set out to build their own logging empire and soon find out that the west is indeed wild and no one is to be trusted — not even each other. See it now before it hits theaters. [Where to stream Serena]
