Say goodbye to the work week and hello to the relaxing weekend! If you’ve played your cards right, the only commitments you have for the next couple days are no commitments. You’re footloose and fancy-free, and I know just what you need to do besides a whole lot of nothing: watch 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 for you to discover.
Among this week’s new releases are Liam Neeson’s action movie Cold Pursuit, the Dolph Lundgren zombie film Dead Trigger, the wrestling dramedy Fighting with My Family (featuring Dwayne Johnson as himself, BTW!), and the horror sequel Happy Death Day 2U. You can also rent Mads Mikkelsen in Arctic, or the WTF-iest movie of 2019, Serenity starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway.

The Disaster Artist
If you love bad movies but your couch-surfing buddy likes good movies, there’s only one option: a good movie about a bad movie. That’s what the acclaimed dramedy The Disaster Artist is, essentially. The Disaster Artist tells the wild, true story about the making of The Room, the most notorious bad movie of the 21st century with James Franco disappearing into the highly affected, quasi-tragic, mostly maniacal role of Tommy Wiseau. Franco’s brother Dave plays Wiseau’s skeptical collaborator, struggling actor Greg Sestero. It’s definitely a must-watch for those that like trainwreck flicks as it humanizes the madness that went into The Room. And if you don’t have a Prime Video account, where it’s streaming for free, you can rent it for $0.99 in iTunes right now.
