Get out your Oscar ballots, movie fans, because the most talked about movies of the awards season are making their way to your living room. Missed ’em in the theater? No problem now that you can watch them whenever you want, wherever you want–just so long as you get’em watched before the Academy Awards! And those aren’t the only movies coming to VOD, either! Whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu or your cable’s on demand service, there are always a lot of new releases out there waiting for you to discover.
In addition to the Oscar flicks now on VOD, superhero blockbuster Justice League is now available to watch on the small screen, perhaps after you watch Wonder Woman on HBO. And on the award season front, the controversial Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is now ready to be watched. Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell earned Golden Globes for the film, will they get Oscars too? Check out the film and judge for yourself–although, just like with Justice League, you’ll have to wait a few weeks to rent it.
What else can you buy or rent this week? Find out by taking a look at the collection of coming-of-age comedies, animated adventures, and chilling horror flicks now available for you to enjoy from the comfort of your very own home!
Lady Bird
Writer/director Greta Gerwig grabbed all sorts of attention with this deeply personal true-to-life story about a girl searching for her place in the world (hopefully outside of Sacramento). Powered by the tense chemistry between Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf, Lady Bird struck a chord with pretty much everyone that had disagreements with their parents during their senior year of high school (so… that’s everyone?). This film won the Golden Globe for Best Comedy or Musical, and there’s a decent shot it could go home with Oscar gold. You have to pay full price to watch it now, but you will be able to rent it on February 27.
Coco
Pixar’s 2017 smash hit Coco continued their unmatched winning streak and caused every single audience member to shed plenty of tears. The film follows a young musician as he learns about his heritage while venturing into a magical realm. The film celebrates the traditional Mexican holiday of Day of the Dead and tells a universal story that will have your whole family laughing (and also crying, don’t forget the crying).

This romcom didn’t get great reviews from critics back when it hit theaters in 2014, but with Black Panther mania sweeping the world, how could you pass up the opportunity to see more Michael B. Jordan? Jordan stars alongside Miles Teller and Zac Efron as three friends who make a vow to remain single out of solidarity with each other. That gets complicated when all three of them find women they’re interested in–and they have to keep these budding relationships secret from each other. A pact is a pact! If you’re looking for more MBJ, especially a role that isn’t as intense as Erik Killmonger, then this is for you!
