It’s Friday, which means you’re just hours away from finally enjoying the weekend. We know that you’ve had a long week and you deserve a break. If you’re looking for a cinematic escape from the real world, we have you covered.
This week is packed with new releases on video on demand, meaning that several of those big movies you missed in theaters are now available for digital purchase on Amazon Video, iTunes, Vimeo, and Vudu. No matter what your movie preferences are, you’re covered this weekend. Looking for a laugh out loud comedy to watch with your best friend? What about an innovative, sweet, and bizarre romance to make you date night a little more interesting? Even if you’re looking for a documentary on a often-ignored sport, we have you covered. It’s time to sit down, open up some wine, and get ready to binge.
Keanu (2016)
If you loved Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele’s Comedy Central show, then you’re going to be a big fan of their blockbuster project, Keanu. When a gang steals the duo’s adorable kitten, it’s up to these two to save the day. This fun watch will have you constantly switching from laughing to saying “Awww.” Seriously, that kitten is cute.
The Lobster (2016)
As Phoebe once taught us, everyone has a lobster, but the quest for a soulmate is less romantic and more anxiety-inducing in this sci-fi film. In a dystopian society, people must find a mate within 45 days or be transformed into the animal of their choice. This is a good watch if you’re in an oddly romantic mood.
Free to Run (2016)
Preparing for the summer Olympics? Then this documentary is for you. Free to Run follows running legends like Steve Prefontaine and Kathrine Switzer, exploring how these greats made the sport popular. It’s almost as good as actually running.
