From stoner-action adventures to family-friendly animated comedies and just about every genre imaginable in between: you have a lot to choose from this weekend. We’ve curated what’s brand new on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Vimeo, M-Go, Fandor, Vudu, and more; and made sure to list what else you should have on your streaming radar outside the realms of Netflix and Hulu.

WATCH FIRST: American Ultra

Jesse Eisenberg is Mike Howell, a permanently lit convenient store attendant whose only talent seems to be waking and baking. But when him and his girlfriend (Kristen Stewart) are inexplicably attacked, he discovers he’s actually a highly trained agent the government is desperate to control. So pack a bowl, kick back, and enjoy one of the year’s most entertaining action-comedies. [Where to stream American Ultra]

FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY: Shaun the Sheep Movie

If your household isn’t the ideal place to watch a violent stoner comedy (aka, you have little kids running amuck), keep the whole gang entertained with Shaun the Sheep. From the creators of Chicken Run and the Wallace & Gromit series, comes the story of a little sheep in the big city, tasked with getting his rogue herd home safe.

MUST-WATCH WAR DRAMA: Kilo Two Bravo

Currently donning a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Paul Katis’ Kilo Two Bravo reimagines the unbelievable true story of British soldiers caught in the bomb-ridden Kajaki dam in Afghanistan and the impossible odds they faced to make it out alive. A wholly unconventional war drama, Kilo Two Bravo isn’t cast with striking leading men or intentionally stylish, but rather a raw, nail-biting story of survival in unforgiving circumstances. Stream it now while it’s in theaters. [Where to stream Kilo Two Bravo]
