Short Term 12

This weekend, a handful of new titles are hitting your favorite streaming platforms. Spring is kicking and the streaming’s got everything you could possibly hope for. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Showtime, STARZ, and other streaming services have added a bunch of big blockbusters, indie favorites, and crack-up comedies for your viewing pleasure.

Netflix has revived an old favorite with Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return, and also has second seasons of Chelsea and Documentary Now! for your comedy needs. HBO’s got a handful of your favorite series returning for new seasons, and a farewell to Girls forever. Hulu’s got indie masterpieces like Short Term 12 and The Babadook, so if you’re in the mood for a good cry or a good scare, you’ve got options. Whatever your streaming needs are, you’re sure to be set for this glorious weekend.

Suicide Squad

Sure, the critics might have hated it, but don’t you want to see what all the fuss is about? Will Smith, Viola Davis, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, and more star in this big-budget adaptation of our favorite DC antihero team. While the film as a whole is definitely not the best DC has done, the talented cast, humorous moments, and special effects (and Oscar-winning make-up!) make this one worth a watch. Grab a couple cold ones and let yourself laugh at this delightfully dark take on a comic classic.

The Handmaiden

This bold erotic thriller from Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Stoker) tells the story of a con man who hires a handmaiden to help him steal an heiress’ fortune, but things get pretty twisted up along the way. It’s nothing short of extraordinary; visually, The Handmaiden is something of a masterpiece, and the editing is a feat in itself. The film’s strong feminist undertones carry the narrative throughout, and the result is something that is truly unparalleled.

Sandy Wexler

Adam Sandler‘s deal with Netflix is the gift that keeps on giving, and the goofy charm we fell in love with is alive and well in Sandy Wexler, the tale of a devoted talent manager working in Los Angeles during the 1990s. Things change for him when he falls for a wildly-talented client (Jennifer Hudson) after discovering her singing at an amusement park. Outrageously silly and completely Sandler, Sandy Wexler fits right in amongst the comedian’s latest work.
