If you've been snowed in, please accept our sympathies, because we know how frustrating that can be. On the bright side, though, that gives you time to check new movies to entertain you and your loved ones! In that case, we have a good selection of titles to watch and/or rent, no matter your mood or taste.
New! New! New!
Fresh from movie theaters, here are three new films that each have something different to offer movie fans.
The true story of a singular musical superstar is explored in Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody, now available in 4K UHD. Naomi Ackie is sensational as Whitney Houston in a film that captures the highs and lows of an unparalleled singer and entertainer. Stanley Tucci, Ashton Sanders and Tamara Tunie also star in a tale that will unbreak your heart.
Director Sam Mendes (1917, Skyfall) takes us back to England in the troubled early 1980s in Empire of Light, now available in 4K UHD. It's a magical trip that revolves around Olivia Colman as a dedicated yet fragile cinema worker who falls in love with gorgeous young Michael Ward. The 4K UHD brings out the magnificence of the seaside cinema and exquisite period details, all through the eye and art of cinematographer Roger Deakins, a two-time Academy Award winner who was just nominated again for this movie.
Animation fans will rejoice to enjoy DC's Legion of Super-Heroes, which follows young superheroes in training, especially Kara (a.k.a. Supergirl) who still need help to develop and manage their powers. It's a fresh and exciting animated action picture that showcases -- for mainstream fans, at least -- a new group of heroes.
Fandango At Home
See what premium titles are available to watch on Vudu this week!
Allison Williams stars in M3GAN as a brilliant scientist who designs an awesome robotic companion for her bereft niece, who is lonely after a tragic loss. The robot companion -- don't call her a doll! -- soon becomes overly protective and incredibly dangerous to anyone who raises a hand, or even an eyebrow, against the young child. Watch the video below to see why parents and their children will want their very own M3GAN.
Aiming to get their fledgling event-organizing business off the ground, Jacob Latimore and Tosin Cole throw a fierce House Party on the grounds of a mansion owned by basketball superstar LeBron James. Here's the rub: they didn't ask LeBron! What follows is a major rager that gets completely out of control, to hilarious effect.
Gerard Butler stars as a heroic captain in Plane, landing his aircraft in the midst of a gigantic storm. His passengers barely have a minute to breath a sigh of relief before most of them are kidnapped by the divisive forces that control the war-torn island. But if you've ever seen a Gerard Butler movie before, you know he will spring to their defense and start working immediately to free them, quickly teaming with Mike Colter, who is suspected of terrible crimes, in the exciting action-adventure.
Having spent all but one of his nine lives, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish follows a cat who contemplates mortality before deciding he must undertake one more risky adventure. Watch all his adventures with the Puss in Boots 2-Movie Collection
We love Nicolas Cage in action mode, but he's not often in action atop a horse, which is part of what makes The Old Way such an entertaining ride. Cage stars as an infamous gunslinger who must finally deal with the consequences of his past, all while his young daughter (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) stands beside him.
Great New Deals
Hungry for a great deal? May we suggest The Menu, offered for the first time on sale, $9.99 4K UHD? Ralph Fiennes stars as a famed chef whose seaside gourmet restaurant caters to the elite and wealthy, as showcased in the clip below. But on this night, he has something special planned, something that is not on the menu. The film looks truly sumptuous in 4K UHD. Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult star as two of the hapless guests.
Available at its lowest price ever -- $9.99 4K UHD -- Black Adam is another movie that benefits from its presentation on 4K UHD, which brings added clarify and depth to the death and destruction that is displayed on screen. Dwayne Johnson stars as a mighty being who must decide if he wants to remain destructive or turn to doing good in the epic adventure.
