Say goodbye to the working week and hello to the weekend, because it is Friday and you’re about to catch a break. You’ve got a few days of freedom coming up, and you can fill them with whatever you wish (unless you’re still in your own personal wedding season, in which case, godspeed). If you find yourself vegging out on your couch, why not check out a new movie? Whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu or your cable’s on demand service, there are a lot of new releases out there waiting for you to discover.
If you missed Transformers: The Last Knight in theaters, you can now rent the latest Michael Bay action-fest for a few bucks. Go on and catch up with your old pals Optimus, Bumblebee, and Mark Wahlberg! You can also rent the Mandy Moore shark-filled thriller 47 Meters Down if you’re looking for something with bite.

Spider-Man: Homecoming
After two different film series over at Sony, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) finally swung into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Captain America: Civil War. He returned this summer in his own full-length feature film, the first Spider-Man flick to focus on the wall-crawler’s high school adventures–and the first Spidey film to actually feature actors that look like teenagers in the roles. Robert Downey Jr. also stars as Iron Man, offering Spider-Man guidance as he goes up against Michael Keaton’s vicious Vulture.

What do you do if you end up losing all of your daughter’s college tuition money? If you’re Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell, you take advice from your pal Jason Mantzoukas and turn your home into a big money casino for the night.

20th Century Women
If you missed this critically-acclaimed drama when it was in theaters, you can now rent it for just under a buck on iTunes. Of 20th Century Women, Decider’s Jade Budowski says:
Led by the always-astounding Annette Bening, Mike Mills’ meditative, nostalgic 20th Century Women tells the story of a teenage boy named Jamie being raised by a determined single mother (Bening) in 1979 Santa Barbara, California. When she comes to the conclusion that her own method of upbringing may not be enough, she enlists her motley crew of boarding house tenants (Greta Gerwig and Billy Crudup) and Jamie’s best friend (an extraordinary Elle Fanning) to help him navigate the tumultuous waters of his teen years. This funny, moving, beautifully messy tale is bound to resonate in more ways than one across audiences.
