Action and adventure await you at home this weekend thanks to the latest movies that are new on VOD. You’ve got your big, shiny Marvel blockbusters, like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and you’ve got your quiet dramas like the Sundance darling A Thousand and One.
And if you love a good martial arts movie, there’s Sakra, which star’s Donnie Yen, who has starred in films like Ip Man, Rogue One, and, most recently, in John Wick: Chapter 4 as Caine, the scene-stealing blind High Table assassin. Yen produced, directed, and stars in Sakra, the story of a martial arts master who was wrongfully accused of murder and goes on a quest to find out who the real killer is, as well as trying to learn more about his own family and the parents he never knew.
These are just a few of the titles that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now!
After her mother Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) got stuck in Quantum Realm, Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) heads back there with her boyfriend, Ant-Man (a.k.a. Scott Lang, a.k.a. Paul Rudd) in the latest Marvel film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is the first film in phase 5 of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. It’s a family affair, because Scott’s daughter Cassie, along with Janey and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) all end up there to face off against Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors), who rules the Realm.
In A Thousand and One, Teyana Taylor stars as Inez, a mother who kidnaps her son Terry from the foster system after she’s served time in Riker’s Island. The story is told over several years, as Inez keeps her son’s identity a secret and tries to shield him from the violence and poverty that plague them in 1990s New York City. Universally acclaimed for both the writing and directing from A.V. Rockwell, as well as for Taylor’s performance, the film won the the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival this past year.
