The official start to fall is this weekend, everyone. Bring out the pumpkin spice lattes, cranberry-scented candles and everything apple cider-flavored! As any Fall aficionado knows, the best time to go apple and pumpkin picking is in the middle weeks of September. So hop in your cars and pick out those future jack-o-lanterns, people! Once you get home, the real fun starts; and what better way to set the fun mood by popping in a movie to watch while carving and seed-roasting? Whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu or your cable’s on demand service, your favorite VOD platforms have you set with a great new list of movies coming out this weekend.
After weeks of anticipation, Spider-Man: Far From Home is finally available on-demand! Jump back into the superhero world post-Avengers: Endgame and watch as your favorite web-slinger recovers from the harrowing events that shook the MCU forever. We cannot help but note that since the Spider-Man/Marvel breakup, this movie is even more interesting to watch again and talk about in a whole new light…hmm…. And for fans of star-is-born-type movies, be sure to check out Wild Rose starring Julie Walters and Jessie Buckley.

I’ll bet we have you intrigued now! Check out what other horrors, action movies and comedies you can buy or rent this week.
Spider-Man: Far From Home
Spider-Man: Far From Home made waves this year as the first-ever movie in the Spider-Man franchise to gross over $1 billion at the box office, so we cannot be more pumped that this brilliant superhero movie is finally available to watch on-demand! The film picks up right after the gut-wrenching events of Avengers: Endgame took place: half of the universe has returned from “the blip” and is trying to find their homes after being displaced for so long. Peter Parker is having possibly the hardest time getting over his PTSD and misses his former mentor and father figure immensely and so when his high school class plans a trip to Europe, Parker is excited to hang up the Spidey suit and take a much-needed vacation. But just because you want a break does not mean the rest of the universe feels the same, and Parker quickly finds himself facing elements he’s never seen before (well he has because he fights the actual elementals, but you get the gist). Will Spider-Man hand off the reins to his new partner Mysterio/Quentin Beck (played by the mischevious Jake Gyllenhaal) to beat these new foes, or will he step up and fill Tony Stark’s shoes and continue his legacy as an Avenger? Find out in Spider-Man: Far From Home, starring Tom Holland, Gyllenhaal, Zendaya, Samuel L. Jackson, Jon Favreau and more.

Annabelle Comes Home
Annabelle Comes Home is the latest horror film in The Conjuring Universe franchise, and it is possibly the most chilling yet. The film picks up in 1968 after Annabelle has been a naughty, naughty dolly— as evidenced by the horror she caused in 2014’s Annabelle and 2017’s Annabelle: Creation. So, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren confiscate the doll, lock her up in a sacred glass case and stick it in their blessed artifacts room where she will stay forever…or so they think. After four years of peace, an unwitting babysitter breaks into the room and unlocks Annabelle’s case, awakening the demonic spirits in the room. A night of unholy terror unravels as the evil spirits set their sights on a new target: The Warren’s 10-year-old-daughter, Judy. Prepare to burrow down and scream your head off while watching Annabelle Comes Home this weekend.

Legally Blonde
Omigod, you guys! Legally Blonde is available to rent on iTunes! Legally Blonde is a comedy film about a “dumb blonde” sorority girl Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) who dreams about one thing: marrying her college sweetheart and hunky boyfriend Warner Huntington III and starting her life as a California housewife. But when her boyfriend dumps her because she is not “serious” enough for his future at Harvard Law School, Woods decides to get into Harvard to prove to Warner that she is the perfect woman for him. Upon arriving at Harvard Law, this SoCal beauty queen finds herself the outcast for the first time in her life due to her blonde hair and seemingly-vapid values. Will Elle Woods prove to her ex-boyfriend that she is marriage material, or is this coming-of-age story more about proving your own self worth? Bend and snap to Legally Blonde starring Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Luke Wilson and Jennifer Coolidge and find out!
