This weekend, staying home is still your best bet. As there are many countries that use home asylum orders to try to help soften the curve the coronavirus epidemic – and with theaters shutting down for the same reason – the best entertainment app has gone from home entertainment.
Movies like Troll World Tour forgive their theatrical release and head straight to VOD, and other blockbusters like Birds of prey and The Way Back available early (and from this week, it's finally available for rent at $ 5.99). This week, a new crop of big movies is available to watch at home, from the depths of the sea to punishing revenge.
Here's something new to watch this weekend, and how to watch it.
Island of Thought

Blumhouse's reboot of the TV show Island of Thought takes place in the theater: a group of people arrive on a tropical island, each receiving a promise that one dream will come true. Of course, surprises don't play out as planned. While the movie isn't all that shocking, that's not a bad thing, as we enter our review:
In the end that's the real story of Blumhouse & # 39; s gummick movies: Even if it doesn't work out, they tend to run the terror in a logical, unfriendly way. Horror fans are supposed to roll their eyes at this type of softness in the genre, and they want something tough, bloodier, or crazier … Anyway, is there anything wrong with hanging a talented entertainment on a big hook, and selling it to young people?
Rhythm section

If you ever wanted to see the past Gossip Girl The cast member will try his hand at the avenger who has the power to take revenge Rhythm section it's your movie. Don't be fooled by the title of the film – it has nothing to do with the film other than acting like the mantra Stefanie (Blake Lively) uses to calm us down. ("Think of your heart like drums, your breath like a bass.") But remember, as we say in our review, action is actually the main reason for releasing this movie.
A personal look at Morano's experiences Rhythm section serves the sequence of action well; Stefanie's battles are genuinely dispersed and provocative to watch as ratling proximity gives us a sense of claustrophobia. However, that tone is at odds with Stefanie & # 39; s mantra, which seems to be a puzzle of such lines in other action movies, and makes black holes where the characters should be most visible.
Underwater

Kristen Stewart stars in this horror movie from William Eubank (Signal), which crosses A foreigner with Armageddon and survival game Read as follows a team of investigators into a deep seafaring station as they try to escape the disaster. The rest of the players are anointed with some of their familiar faces – Vincent Cassel, Mamoudou Athie, John Gallagher Jr. – and, as we enter into our review, the movie's appeal excites them with an awful lot.
(The) true attraction of Underwater you are in danger of living these characters while you watch them break through. Their deaths carry less weight, fun trade ways to look at hats and blood-soaked suits. At points, the film's intensity is funny: A drawing that measures the width of the explosion shows it will go out enough to destroy the monsters, but not the people flee. But Eubank is constantly moving forward, delivering the next set of underwear accessories.
Jackie Robinson

Here's what happened last Friday:

The sequel to the glittery, pop-music-infused blockbuster animated is here, after being released from the theater to digital VOD platforms. In our review, Karen Han says that this movie is a win-win movie if you are looking for more color combinations, humor and nuns.
(2016) Trolls) take on plastic dolls, Troll, for viewers since the 1960s, transformed them into soft creatures, and built a world around them with scrapbook-like objects. Its final message of finding happiness within you is straightforward, but directors Mike Mitchell and Walt Dohrn tell their story with such respect and humor that the corny character doesn't matter. The sequence, Troll World Tour, has a slightly deeper message. It also increases with the higher value of things it happens on screen at any given time, aiming to produce the same plot, however the story it encounters is more complex.

The knives
Where to watch: Digital Rent $ 5.99 at Amazon and Apple
Lionsgate
The Last Jedi The director's whodunnit director Rian Johnson has been buying digital in the last three weeks, but it's finally being rented out to people who just want another round of Benoit Blanc. If you haven't heard why The knives you must watch, our review will guide you
In the secret, finding out who committed the crime is fun, but the really bitter part is being able to pinpoint exactly why it happened, like Hercule Poirot or Columbo. That sums it up The knives, more for a reason than whodunit. Watching a film sounds like opening a gift to find many gifts inside. The biggest box – the question of who killed the victim – is not the point. Knives Out is a murder mystery with no desire to die than the survivors, and opening those little boxes is fun.
If you have seen it The knives and you want to get real creative about Johnson and his approach to filmmaker Steve Yedlin in filmmaking, you won't find much better story than our feature of how DP wants to end the film debate.
Young Women

We were surprised at Greta Gerwig & # 39; s Young Women Last December and I can't wait to get it again as it is now digital. There's a lot to be said, in fact, that we got all hardcore Young Women fan in Polygon room talking about the ins and outs of today's adaptation. We then analyze why the conclusions of The lungs and Young Women they are the same. Also is we have filmed all the Birds of Prey heroines in them Young Women partner. Did we say we really fell for this movie? Go watch it.
The Burning of the Sea

The latest releases from the genre Dust, Gunpowder & Sky & # 39; s genre, The Burning of the Sea it should cut that creativity that includes a batch for anyone who lives a little more comfortably while internally covered. Horror expert Jenna Stoeber came in with the weight, saying it wasn't:
Director Neasa Hardiman has drawn a clear cast for another, John Carpenter complex sequence Item, but The Burning of the Sea it doesn't have a burning personality or a mirror to be found just like its predecessor … (While the drama) doesn't always have a lot of spine, but the numbers increase as the pace goes up, and rarely has a busy time. Viewers who are appropriately stressed about infection and infection may not think The Burning of the Sea the right kind of evening view. But for people who can't handle a strong vibrant vibrant, The Burning of the Sea a strong, collaborative secret of the creature.
The Elephant Queen
Where to watch: Cast to an apple It's free

The only clear winner of the battles was the audience. Apparently annoyed by HBO's decision to open a chunk of content to the HBO Go / Now streaming app, Apple announced on Friday that Apple TV Plus's choice would be free again if viewed.
