As the world takes great action to go soften the curve with the coronavirus epidemic, American movie theaters are largely closed, reflecting security measures taken in other countries. Demand for streaming entertainment has risen dramatically as a result, so Hollywood has threatened digital rental dates for major movie releases, while sticking to a fixed schedule for some of the most coveted and original releases. Between March 13 and March 20, Disney and Universal both threw blockbuster films on platforms like Apple and Amazon, in some of the most watched movie theaters they've ever seen at home.
If you're sitting home this weekend wondering what to watch, here are some new articles now available. And in the comments, tell us what you are taking this weekend – Right now, everyone needs something to look at, and we all need people to talk to about what we're looking at.
Forward
Where to watch: Shop for $ 19.99 at Amazon and Apple
Pstrong
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 collection of storytellers focused on the most inaccessible families as they have been 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, Disney released the surprise Forward on digital platforms. 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.
The Invisible Man

Blumhouse, known for Come out and the recent reboot of Halloween, turned its attention to the legacy of the Universal beast by giving it a new one The Invisible Man. Director Leigh Whannell, who wrote Hi and he shot himself in his own film Develop, brings another patient alternative to a standard salad. From full The Invisible Man update
Exposing an invisible person to a visual source presents an exciting challenge, and Whannell is not shy about it. The POV-based shooting looks like a supernatural performance, with the camera circling Cecilia as she finally unknowingly looks to her. However, instead, Whannell offers a long, organized shot of the rooms and corners, loaded in anticipation of being one of the movie's most iconic moments.
Emma.

All of us at Polygon was a rethink Emma. from director of photography adapted by director Autumn de Wilde. The film did not disappoint. From the Karen Han review:
The imprint of a movie title may seem natural (Lord of the Rings: Ring encounter, Face off) or less forced (Mother!, Star Wars IX: The Rise of the Skywalker). Either way, however, it serves a purpose: considering when the movie should fall in sequence, or foreshadowing something about the story. This is the last case Emma., the latest adaptation of Jane Austen's novel & # 39; s 1815. With the exception of the period of absolute standing in the title, the work Autumn de Wilde has done for Austen is not the last word on the subject. (Or it is a renaming that the moratorium goes on Emmait will not be the worst thing in the world.) Instead, this season is meant as a declaration of good filmmaking, the dream stuff of drama lovers. This is Emma, time.
Once you find this new consensus, read our interview with de Wilde, in which he explains why he finally made Emma a sensation as Austen wrote to him 200 years ago.
Frozen 2
Where to watch: Cast to Disney Plus; rent for $ 5.99 at Amazon and Apple
Walt Disney animation Studios
Last winter, Frozen 2 has gone on to become the biggest movie ever, which grossed $ 1.3 billion worldwide. It is now one of the gifts Disney has given Disney Plus subscribers during trying times. Or, instead, it's a gift for anyone who wants to know what a $ 1,2 billion blockbuster is all about. From our original review:
Frozen 2 continues to look after the kingdom of Arendelle, plunged into the mouths of their homeland, and raises the defects of the relationship between Arendelle's orphaned princesses, Ana and Elsa. The emotional swell of the excellent series coincides with the first, but it is some of the hallucinations of adult entertainment, and the conclusion doesn't come as hard. Everything is just safe.
Frozen 2 a lot is going on. From being put down the line in the Disney fan-theory-debunking scheme turns it into a seemingly curiosity-prone, movie-driven movie-like sequel that is really epic, for better and worse. But one fact is intentional: Whatever you allow yourself to think of a movie, one great movie, "Something Unknown," is a boat. Especially when 10 Elsas got together to sing it.
The Hunt

Previously scheduled for last fall, this politically-charged autonomy as a scary human hunt angered the (invisible) president and kicked off the evacuation plan. The movie came back in retaliation earlier this month… just in time for the COVID-19 issue to reduce its release. So was it worth the wait? The conditions may vary. From our reviews:
Now The Hunt it's upon us, and it turns out that its political suspension is what sets you apart from another knock-out "Dangerous Game", and it happens again. Understandably, the film's management refused to tell the story in special terms, because The Hunt it has a subtle element in its function, despite its general origin. The movie is about rich artists who use drugs and kidnap a group of “horrible” drugs, and then place them in a controlled environment, to be separated from one another. This is not presented as a sweet revenge; while certain premature deaths are played out because of dark humor, they are generally frightening without a hard edge. Getting victims to use “snowflake” tactics in the middle of an accident does not automatically make hopeless killers, and remorseful, good boys.
The politics of the “two sides” of the movie can sway people in some way, but as director Craig Zobel told Polygon in an interview after the death of the corpse: “I really hope people who watch the film find it. I hope that if you watch the movie you will find that they were acting strangely, the climax of the movie. ”
Star Wars: The Awakening of Skywalker
Where to watch: Rent $ 19.99 at Amazon and Apple
Lucasfilm
Not much is yet to be said Article 9, which received a bizarre digital release date in response to many audience members across the country. But be aware: The rise of the Skywalker it has many non-return times.
Jumanji: Next Level

In a movie that was due to emerge this week, the unexpected Jumanji franchise kicks off with a sequence where many audiences are looking for something to go by. And, it's actually fun. As Karen wrote back in December:
Game feature of Tuesday it recreates some of that lost world in the act of blatantly shooting, as animals and rivals chase heroes, and how real wealth becomes the friends they make (or even do) there. The story behind this elaborate level is a bit different: A war commander (Rory McCann) stole a mysterious stone from a village, leading to the death of their crops. It's the human drama that keeps the franchise compelling – the reconciliation between Eddie and Milo, and between Spencer and his friends – as well as the certain op / MMORPG-esque satisfaction of completing the task with your symbols.
Most importantly, Next Level he is as successful as a leopard. Welcome to the forest I don't need to follow, though Next Level actually upping the ante, rebuking the mark for a fresh start by making its address thoughtfully. It makes the return to the forest more enjoyable, and, brutally, it makes it easy to imagine coming back for more.
Cats

We here at Polygon have some very fond memmmmmmorrrriiii watching feature films Cats first. We don't want to say too much about this bomb making headlines, but here's a taste of our actual review:
There are three good things to say about Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway musical Cats: A spectacular show of dancers, costumes are made, and songs, while silly, are captivating. Tom Hooper & # 39; s movie adaptation neuters all three aspects. However, it has a completely naked character but Ken-Dolled Idris Elba, Ian McKellen runs out of milk on the plate, cats get in the thin air, dance parties with a human face, and Jason Derulo shouts, "MILK!"
We highly recommend bringing together a group of your rowdiest, cueing friends Cats, and to find out why we think Mist Mistoffeles is completely offended by the makers of this amazing movie.
