Fandango At Home
What new premium titles are available to watch on Vudu this week?
Who doesn't love watching good-looking people exercise? Magic Mike's Last Dance features the return of Channing Tatum as a good-looking dancer who exercises his right to go to London at the behest of socialite Salma Hayek Pinault, where he recruits new dancers who exercise their right to entertain everyone. Note that a bundle of the first two movies in the 'Magic Mike' cinematic universe is also available.
Long before Magic Mike's arrival in London, Living explores how British civil servant Bill Nighy makes the decision to experience life to its fullest after he receives a grim diagnosis. Indeed, life is worth celebrating, isn't it, especially as the winter season draws to a close. You can watch Bill Nighy's Oscar-nominated performance starting March 3.
New This Week
