It’s Friday and everybody’s looking forward to the weekend. And why wouldn’t you? A sleepy, late summer weekend filled with couch chilling in the day and low-key hang outs in the evening? That sounds perfect! And whether you are spending time alone, with your boo, or with your buds, you can always put on one of many new movies! Whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu or your cable’s on demand service, there are a lot of new releases out there waiting to be discovered.
May’s massive Marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, is now available to rent. Now you can pause the film and really analyze all of those crazy cameos and the half dozen post-credits scenes. You can also spend time with another sci-fi franchise this weekend, as the animated film Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars is now available to rent. Choose your space hunk, Chris Pratt or Casper Van Dien!
What else can you buy or rent this week? Find out by taking a look at the collection of horrific action, raunchy comedy, and family fun now available for you to enjoy from the comfort of your very own home!
The Mummy
Fans of Tom Cruise running will be pleased to know that his most recent marathon is now available to purchase digitally. Universal kickstarted their shared monster movie-verse earlier this year with a new Mummy, one that put action star Sofia Boutella in the titular role. The film also introduced Russell Crowe’s Mr. Hyde (yes, that Mr. Hyde). If you don’t want to pay full price to see this action spooktacular, you can wait and rent it on September 15.
Rough Night
If a bachelorette party has ever happened near or to you, you know it can be an intense affair with a lot of shouting and a bit of drama. Hopefully the bachelorette parties that your life has collided with weren’t as bad as the one in Rough Night, an R-rated comedy with a killer cast that–pun intended–accidentally kills a male stripper. Scarlett Johansson heads up this team of comedy Avengers that includes Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, and Zoe Kravitz.

Hellboy
A few years before the modern superhero era kicked off in 2008 with the one-two punch of Iron Man and The Dark Knight, there was the darkly weird Hellboy. Based on the critically acclaimed cult classic comics published by Dark Horse, Guillermo del Toro took the young superhero genre in a defiantly weird direction. Top-notch makeup effects enhance this rip-roaring tale of a band of freakish outsiders put together by the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense to stop villains from destroying humanity. If you don’t have a Netflix account, you can rent this movie for just under a buck on iTunes!
