Although the COVID-19 epidemic remains a public health problem, people still want to see movies. The urge to go out and see something has led to our surprise movie theaters, and it led to restaurants Change their parking spaces in driving theaters. If you go out to watch a movie, the driver model has a public broadcaster built-in, making it a safer model than going to a traditional theater. (Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced that businesses, including movie theaters, will be reopened in the state, a decision that has been deemed unsafe.)
However, traditional movie theaters are still closed, which means your best bet this weekend is to look for what's available to watch from the comforts of your home. This weekend's selection survives on independent films, while last week it was full of blockbusters, with a digital release Island of Thought, Underwater, again Rhythm section. The most recent movies, however, boast of the great performance of Hugh Jackman, as well as the double appearance of Shea Whigham, and deserve to be caught.
Here are the new movies to watch this weekend (including new ones on Netflix), and where to find them.
Poor Education
Where to watch: Poor Education premieres on HBO at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 25, and will be available on HBO Now, HBO Go, too Amazon Prime Video after that
Picture: HBO
Screen for Poor Education is based on events at Roslyn High School when writer Mike Makowsky was a student there, which is a low-cost way to save his school and make his school district one of the best in the country. Hugh Jackman stars as Tassone, with Allison Janney, Ray Romano, and Geraldine Viswanathan filling the remainder of the cast. In our review, Tasha Robinson praised Jackman for reinforcing the appropriate drama:
The film relies heavily on Jackman's talent aspect of managing not just the story, but the tone. Frank is listed as a well-to-do boss who takes pride in knowing everything about his people – not just the names of the parents of the schoolchildren, but their affiliates, what hobbies they like, and so on. But they rarely come out as a fat seller. Jackman often performs large and wide-ranging works, whether he plays the Wolverine antithing hero in various X-Men movies, or hits Broadway-style stores or similar music. The Greatest Exhibition and Les Misérables. Here, he is a very large, intelligent but seemingly straightforward personality who has attained his precise level, and has an effective record of proving that. He is a lovely, award-winning director who seems to care about the people around him, and Jackman sells the integrity, and the idea of something underneath.

Based on "The Hustlers at Scores," Jessica Pressler, the film raises expectations on many levels, offers filmmakers at its center and agency often caught on screen, as well as over-the-top emotional sensations you'd expect for a film about a misdemeanor.

Here's what happened last Friday:
Island of Thought
Where to watch: Buy digital for $ 14.99 at Google Play, Amazon and Apple

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:
Ultimately that is a new reality for Blumhouse & # 39; s gummick movies: Even if it doesn't work out well, they tend to run scary in a way that is understandable, endearing. 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
Where to watch: Buy digital for $ 14.99 at Google Play, Amazon and Apple

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 the sanctity of the mantra allegedly performed by Stefanie, which almost seems to be the same thing as the 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
Where to watch: Spread it on PBS, again Amazon
