Congrats, you made it through the first week of 2020! Now that the new year is officially in full swing, you may find it harder to stick to those idealistic new years resolutions you made just one week ago. But we are here to help you stick to your goal of staying up to date on the latest films with a brand new list of movies available for you to consume (because nobody wants to be that one person out of the loop at a party, right?). And whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu or your cable’s on demand service, these new titles will cater to all audience preferences alike.
It may not be the holidays anymore, but who cares? These movies are a gift to everyone who watches them. For those thriller and/or documentary fans out there, Wrinkles the Clown is perfect for you. This chilling documentary explores the real-life phenomenon that is Wrinkles the Clown: an anonymous man dressed in a dilapidated mask, scruffy polka dot suit, and gloves who can be hired by a phone call to terrorize a person of your choice. But is Wrinkles really real, or is he just a manifestation of the online fame that is easily achieved due to technology these days? It is up to you to watch and find out. But if you are in the mood to laugh instead of scream, then be sure to check out Snatchers, the tongue-in-cheek comedy about a high school cool chick whose senior year is thrown for a loop when she contracts an extraterrestrial bug and suddenly is nine months pregnant. GASP! How will she ever make it through school without dying of humiliation, or worse? This crazy comedy is absurd in the best of ways and will leave your heart lighter after watching it. And, after its stellar Golden Globe Award appearance, Joker is now available to rent!
Curious about what else is out there? Check out what other documentaries, comedies and adventure films you can buy or rent this week.
Wrinkles the Clown
Imagine if Pennywise the Clown was alive in real life. Scary, right? Now imagine if you could hire him to terrorize anyone you wished, and you’ve got yourself the one and only Wrinkles the Clown. This dark documentary centers on the internet sensation, Wrinkles the Clown: an anonymous man from Naples, Florida who can be hired to terrorize misbehaving kids, annoying friends, etc. Thanks to a compilation of eerie YouTube videos, personal testimonies, crackling TV footage and even interviews with the who is supposedly Wrinkles himself, Wrinkles the Clown is not only a fun horror story about a scary clown, but it is also a dark and twisted look into how easily these days fake stories can be made believable.

Three Christs
Three Christs is the enigmatic drama film about a boundary-pushing psychologist who attempts to treat three schizophrenic patients who all believe they are Jesus Christ. Starring Richard Gere, Peter Dinklage, Bradley Whitford and Walter Goggins, this film based on a true story follows the real work of Dr. Alan Stone as he begins a risky experiment that involves putting his three patients in a room together to face off against one another. As the three men argue about who is the real Jesus Christ in the room, the experiment takes a turn that will leave everyone in the room — including Dr. Stone himself — profoundly changed forever.

Jungle
Daniel Radcliffe stars in Jungle, the 2017 film about one man’s adventure that turns into a living nightmare. This drama-mystery film follows four adventurers who set off to backpack through the lush and majestic Amazon rainforest. But when a terrible accident occurs, one man, Yossi (Radcliffe) is left on his own, forced to survive for weeks against the densest and treacherous landscape on earth without a knife, map or any means of survival training. Based on a true story, Jungle explores a man’s mental journey as he loses direction, hope, and must depend on his sheer will for survival.
