We’ve officially lost count of how many days we are into Coronavirus season. Is it 12, 14, 57? Not to mention every day doing the same thing is making it harder and harder to keep track of what day it actually is. But there is one thing we always keep track of, though, and that is when its Friday! Its a day we will always look forward to because it marks the end of the week and the start of a 48-hour mental break —and we all need a mental break. Luckily for us, your on-demand providers are here to help out because whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu or your cable’s on-demand service, there are a ton of movies available to rent and buy this weekend that can help you with that break!
This past week’s movie lineup has something for everyone. If you are in the mood for a good supernatural horror flick, check out Fantasy Island that is now available to purchase! A horror re-imagination and prequel to the 1977 series of the same name, Fantasy Island follows five “lucky” people who win a trip to an island that brings each guest’s dream fantasy to life. But not is all as it seems and those dreams are soon twisted into living nightmares they must try to survive. And for those looking for a good-natured comedy or a romance film to cry to, movies like Bad Therapy, Extra Ordinary and Endings, Beginnings are ready and waiting to be discovered. Not to mention that the rental section is blowing up this weekend, too! After much anticipation, Harrison Ford’s The Call of the Wild is finally available to rent, as well as The Way Back, Underwater, and The Gentlemen, too!
Curious about what else is out there? Check out what other comedies, thrillers and mysteries you can buy or rent this week.
Fantasy Island
What if there was an island where your wildest dreams could be made a reality? It sounds like a dream come true, right? Wrong! In Blumhouse’s new Fantasy Island, resort guests are treated like gods as the enigmatic Mr. Roarke makes their secret dreams come true. But dreams soon turn into nightmares when the fantasies of the guests come at a sinister, deadly price. It is then up to the not-so-lucky guests to solve the mystery of the island before it is too late. Starring Lucy Hale, Ryan Hansen, Michael Peña and more, Fantasy Island is now available for purchase on demand.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
You know Robert Downey Jr. today as Iron Man, but have you ever seen his earlier work? Introducing Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a dramedy starring RDJ and Val Kilmer. This tongue-in-cheek film centers on a murder mystery that flings an on-the-run thief into the acting world where he is thrown into a murder conspiracy with his childhood sweetheart and a private eye. A hysterical deadpan tribute to film noir, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is available to rent on demand.
