Every Kevin Costner Movie Is A Western (Even When They're Not)
Say goodbye to the working week and hello to the weekend, because it is Friday and you’re about to catch a break. You’ve got a few days of freedom coming up, and you can fill them with whatever you wish (unless you’re still in your own personal wedding season, in which case, godspeed). If you find yourself vegging out on your couch, why not check out a new movie? Whether you use Amazon Video, iTunes, Vudu or your cable’s on demand service, there are a lot of new releases out there waiting for you to discover.
This week there’s puh-lenty of choices for every single person in your family. Are you a young adult that loves emotional indie dramedies? Then check out the acclaimed Eighth Grade from writer/director Bo Burnham. Or if you need something to wow the kids, then you can buy Hotel Transylvania 3 (just in time for Halloween season and everything!). Want a laugh? Then howsabout the basketball comedy Uncle Drew? You can rent it now, people!
What else can you buy or rent this week? Find out by taking a look at the collection of pulse-pounding thrillers, witty sci-fi, and whatever the F Tommy Wiseau’s Best F(r)iends is, now available for you to enjoy from the comfort of your very own home!
Skyscraper
How do you like your Dwayne Johnson? In a car, fighting an earthquake, watching the bay, on safari…? Or do you like your Dwayne Johnson jumping from floor to floor in a deathtrap skyscraper on a mission to save his family? If that’s the Dwayne Johnson for you, then you’ll need to watch Skyscraper! You can buy this action-packed disaster movie right now, or you can wait and rent the action in a few weeks.
Solo: A Star Wars Story
The fastest and wildest outer-space adventure of 2018 (Avengers: Infinity War only took place half in space!) is now available to rent! Solo: A Star Wars Story tells the origin story of Han Solo and everything Solo-adjacent from the original trilogy (meaning you get a look at young Lando and younger Chewbacca and a pristine Millennium Falcon). The movie is a slambang good time, unconcerned with all those pesky big stakes that define pretty much every other Star Wars movie. If you’re looking for a real escape, then buckle up and hit play on Solo.

Annihilation
If you missed Alex Garland’s mind-bending sci-fi film Annihilation earlier this year, you’ll be pleased to know you can now rent it in iTunes for just under a dollar. Need convincing it’s worth your time and $0.99? Here’s Decider’s Joe Reid:
The visuals are astounding, and the when the story dives headlong into examinations of self and self-destruction, the movie really takes a leap. The final scenes of Annihilation will be pored over by sci-fi and cinema fans for a long time, and not just in an attempt to figure them out.
