People all over the world live inside soften the curve the coronavirus epidemic, and, there is a greater need for home video entertainment than ever before. That prompted local broadcasts to offer loads of content, from HBO releasing free movies and shows, CBS offering free All Access Tests, and Netflix Tiger King, a true art series that draws the most attention in years, just in time for the attention of all of us.
But the mysterious absence of movie theaters in our pop culture lives has left Hollywood channels and trying to fulfill a need. This week, big blockbusters and small indies all have digital VOD platforms, giving viewers the impression that over the last few weeks it would have required a car ride and a price for a few tickets.
If you're sitting home this weekend wondering what to watch, here are some new articles now available.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Where to watch: Buy digital for $ 19.99 at Amazon and Apple
If the original Sonic functionality has scared you away from video game sync, now's your chance to find out why Sonic the Hedgehog could be some younger viewers Shrek for 15 years. The movie is a chock full of references to pop culture and flatulence, but for adults, there is the nostalgia of the game with Jim Carrey. From our official review:
Carrey, presenting the most gonzo performance since Tom Hardy's debut, becomes a real comic relief for consenting adults Sonic the Hedgehog. His Robotnik combines Ace Ventura, Riddler, Mask, and Grinch into one lump of evil Silly Putty, stretching and spasming as he releases one liter. In his first intro, the mustache-robbing cheeky officer is questioning whether he has weekends in the program "drink twice and put a boat in the water," a fatal one. Carrey sees the children in the room, performing a three-minute dance inside of a Mad Scientist Van filled with laser light, but mostly, she faces Sonic, entertaining the cartoon idea the movie gives her.
Oh, and you'll really want to catch a movie before it's inevitable Sonic 2. Yes, there is a post-credit situation!
Forward
Where to watch: Spread it on Disney Plus
In our review of the animated fantasy epic, Tasha Robinson noted that any of Perry's films come with "outside expectations," and that while Forward "colorful and lively," and "safe, simple, and precise in comparison to Pstrong's on-screen exchanges."
There is nothing wrong with this model of Wright's film. It is exciting to see the studio finally create a new world, with a team of brothers at the heart of the film sounding like a new model for a set of storytellers focused on the most inaccessible families as they are so focused on the flesh – and the families – the blood. Forward
he takes a few steps to represent himself again, with a female character (voiced by Lena Waithe) who just mentions his girl; the prominent role of Octavia Spencer; as well as the characters of middle-aged servants who get great bonding moments and episodes of their actions – both of which are material downloads.
After only two weeks in theaters, a claim was released on Disney Forward on digital platforms. It is now Disney Plus subscribers to watch for free. By the way, historical time.
Once you watch the movie, read our interview with news manager, Kelsey Mann, to hear wild ideas that didn't make it to the screen.
Bad Boys for Life
Where to watch: Buy digital for $ 19.99 at Amazon and Apple
Third Bad boys movies, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence past their prime. Thankfully, that's the point. To put it another way, from our first review:
One-third of the way in Bad Boys for Life, Michael Bay's hyperkinetic trilogy-capper, hyper-saturated action Franchise, Marc Lawrence's Martin Bregett is vomiting.
Mike Lowery (Will Smith) burns on a motorcycle driver who has hit him down the middle of the wheel, and may have used the help of Marcus & # 39 ;. But with a new granddaughter, a loving marriage, and the weight of an (er) age to keep him down, Marcus feels he is no worse than La-Z-Boy. What could have been a pile of roadblocks and a rifle fire is now a way to break Mike's plans to gather the details of Martin and Marcus. It's chaotic.
Even if it seems to be the end, Bad Boys for Life made a whopping $ 425 million worldwide in January, so … watch it before the advent of the sequel. Bad Boys 4Ever?
Never Sometimes Always
Eliza Hittman's new drama, starring a young woman from Pennsylvania from New York to legalized abortion, received a rave review at Sundance 2020 in January. The film bowed in mid-March … just as all theaters in America began to close. Now Focus Features has released the film on VOD, so people can learn what all this buzz is about. In her review, Karen Han discovers why a potential movie of a simple problem turns out to be heartfelt.
Hitman gets all of this simply by pointing out events that didn't happen in earnest. Everything that happens is unusual, and the sense of panic hanging in the proceedings alone suggests that the world we live in can be scary, especially for those who are still going wrong. There is nothing in the movie that feels great or unbelievable, which makes the Autumn struggle so devastating. Things that happen to her happen to real women every day, and filmmaker Hélène Louvart makes the impossible happenings feel dirty by hand-holding, following the enthusiasm of young women around the city.
If you've checked out this amazing game, read our interviews with Hitman, in which he explains how he tried to bring out more virtual reality than what we see on screen.

Here's what happened last Friday:
Blood
Where to watch: Buy digital for $ 19.99 at Amazon and Apple
Universal released Vin Diesel & # 39; s F9 year-round when an increase in coronavirus was seen, but his latest film was already in the theater when everything started to go on hiatus. That left Tony with a great action movie and no game viewers. The movie arrives in digital this week for people to get a taste of what Diesel is doing with his impersonatorQuickly
If Ray's destiny and motivations seem a little outlandish, and his enemy's dance sounds like a cripple, it's probably because his action is being recorded. The movie is entertaining about the idea, as the characters are allowed to complain about clichés, and with one ("you are an unintentional freak," one of the paramilitary soldiers talking about a new driven colleague), which makes it possible for Gina to literally die inside a refrigerator for a meta-related adjective comedy trope.
And if you're confused about who or what the "blood" is, we've got you covered. The character has an unknown comic history.
Birds of prey
Where to watch: Buy digital for $ 19.99 at Amazon and Apple
After six weeks in theaters, Warner Bros. & # 39; t brought The Birds of Hunger (and the Most Wondrous Elimination of Harley Quinn) to the desired video. That means that everyone who hasn't seen it in the theater – and there are many of you – can now enjoy the Harley and Co. experience from your bed. And we recommend it.
Birds of prey Future vision: A female-led movie that doesn't earn under the pressure to (the voice of the publisher) Female-Led Superhero Movie For Women. Cathy Yan's joke – it hits half women, though too much which starred Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn – revealing just how much can be achieved when creators and characters are freed from morality.
This all means: Birds of prey it's a confusing, leg-cutting, exciting, and good time.
Because Birds of prey, Warner Bros. wrapped the tone of comics history into a super team-up car. Here's a sneak peek of choice in this movie circus.
A wild calling
Where to watch: Buy digital for $ 14.99 at Amazon and Apple
Holding on to the acquisition of Disney's 21st Century Fox, Jack London's new concession did not fare well with critics when it arrived in theaters in February. Directed by animator animator Chris Sanders (Lilo and Stitch, How To Train Your Dragon) the film was just a crowd of people, and the news of producing a CG dog covered everything that Harrison Ford came to the screen. Time (and the final release of Disney Plus) can make this one of a kind.
I still believe it
Where to watch: Digital Rent $ 19.99 at Amazon
Directed by Erwin Brothers, the self-titled duo in the Christian drama department, I still believe it It tells about a love marriage with songwriter Jeremy Camp (Riverdale& # 39; S KJ Apa) with his first wife, Melissa Lynn Henning-Camp (Britt Robertson). Shortly before the two were knitting, Melissa was diagnosed with cervical cancer. He was about to die a few months later.
Descending
Where to watch: Buy in digital for $ 9.99 at Amazon and Apple
Great French film restoration Force majeure, Descending stars Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as an illegally married couple after the man in the equation ran away from the avatarche (potential) and left his family behind. All reports suggest that Descending is a clear rearrangement of the first film, so expect two comics at the top of their spam game for us to enjoy.
He is gentle
Where to watch: Buy digital for $ 14.99 at Amazon and Apple
Guy Ritchie (The snatching, Aladdin) goes back to his criminal roots with this ensemble slogan featuring Mathematics McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Grant .. To be honest, we weren't big fans. As Karen Han puts it:
First to They are meek, former kingpin drug user Dry Eye (Henry Golding) tells Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) that the new ones will replace the old one. Pearson disagrees: The rule of symbolic forest is that the strong will eat the weak. Pearson may be getting old, but he loses his balance; he is still king because he is at the forefront of what he does. Maybe that's true in the movie world, but when it comes to Guy Ritchie's story as a director, it seems the rules aren't the same. Ritchie is no longer the strongest beast in the forest, and he is old in the game.
The Way Back
Where to watch: Buy digital for $ 19.99 at Amazon and Apple
There are no games yet, but there are sports movies. Ben Affleck himself said he was right about his story about the drinking and discouragement this story of a basketball coach receives way back the court. As Sheila O & # 39; Malley write to RogerEbert.com, which claims to be a classic game melodrama with a bespoke role for a hit-or-miss actor.
The Way Back , of course, is the redemptive arc. Jack is overwhelmed with disappointment. Affleck is in the personal area here. When he was angry, there was something still worried about his red face. There is no catharsis in his anger; it is always poisonous in his veins. There is also a twisted sense of remorse for him, which is more accurate if you've ever known any addict. Affleck is not shy away from the dislike of this character. You are good at it, about the mistakes and shortcomings of man. The script is well built. Information is withheld from us until we are there.
