Tuesday September 8

Now at home Mutiny is now available to watch at home Mutiny is available to rent or buy digitally from today, September 8, on Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home, eighteen days after it opened in theaters on August 21. It is still playing on some screens, so this is the premium window rather than the end of the run, at a rental price closer to a cinema ticket than a streaming subscription. What to watch tonight What to watch tonight: Chad Powers Chad Powers is back with a second season, all six episodes of which landed on Hulu on September 3, a year after the show first arrived. It is built around a specific kind of shame, the sort that ends a career overnight and leaves someone with nothing left to lose. Quarterback Russ Holliday blows up his own future with one unforgivable moment, then claws his way back onto a field by becoming someone else entirely. Countdown Hope brings Na Hong-jin back to theaters after a decade Hope opens in US theaters on Wednesday, September 9, the first film from Na Hong-jin since The Wailing in 2016.

A 4K, Blu-ray and DVD release follows on October 6. On this day Contagion turns 15 Contagion premiered fifteen years ago this week, in September 2011, and it remains one of Steven Soderbergh's most unsettling films: a thriller spanning the globe about a virus that kills within days and the scramble to contain both the disease and the panic it sets off.

Monday September 7

On this day Sully turns 10 Sully opened in US theaters ten years ago this week, on September 9, 2016, revisiting the January day when Captain Chesley Sullenberger glided a crippled Airbus onto the Hudson River and saved all 155 people aboard. Clint Eastwood's film is not really about the water landing itself, which it treats briskly. It is about what happened to Sullenberger's reputation in the weeks after.

Sunday September 6

Upcoming this week What to watch the week of September 6 to 12 The week of September 6 to 12 splits fairly cleanly between star-driven titles leaving theaters for digital rental and smaller genre pictures opening in theaters, with Disney's live-action Moana the biggest of the films heading home.

Saturday September 5

On this day The Piano Teacher turns 25 The Piano Teacher opened in French theaters on September 5, 2001, twenty five years ago today, and it has lost none of its capacity to disturb. Michael Haneke's clinical, exacting drama follows Erika Kohut, a piano teacher at a Vienna conservatory who still lives with, and sleeps beside, her domineering mother. When a young student begins pursuing her, the tightly controlled life she has built starts to come apart in ways that are difficult to watch and harder to forget.

Friday September 4

What to watch tonight The Empire Strikes Back still holds up on Disney Plus The Empire Strikes Back is the middle chapter of the original Star Wars trilogy, and it rewards a patient viewer more than either of its bookends. There is no tidy victory here: Luke trains under a strange, diminutive mentor on a swamp planet while the Rebel fleet scatters and his friends are hunted across the galaxy. Countdown Zach Cregger's Resident Evil reboot arrives in two weeks Resident Evil returns to theaters on Friday, September 18, two weeks from now.

Monday August 31

What to watch tonight The Usual Suspects still holds up on a rewatch In a Los Angeles interrogation room, the lone survivor of a bloody waterfront explosion tells a US Customs agent an increasingly wild story. He says he was one of five career criminals pulled together for a heist at the direction of a crime boss so elusive that most people who claim to have met him question their own memory. Getting the story out of him is the whole tension of the film, and more than thirty years on, it still plays like a card trick performed in plain sight.

Sunday August 30

What to watch tonight The Help is worth another look on Peacock The Help follows three women whose lives brush against each other in Jackson, Mississippi in the early 1960s. Aibileen Clark and Minny Jackson have spent their careers raising white families' children and running their households, while Skeeter Phelan is the young writer who decides to put their side of the story on paper. It is the kind of ensemble drama that rewards patience, three distinct voices carrying separate grievances toward a shared reckoning.

Saturday August 29

What to watch tonight Bleach is streaming on Hulu, and nearly half of it was never in the manga Bleach follows Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager who has always been able to see ghosts. When he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper battling monstrous spirits called Hollows, an emergency forces her to hand him her powers, and he inherits her job of protecting the living and guiding the dead.

Friday August 28

What to watch tonight What to watch tonight: Reacher on Prime Video If tonight calls for something fast and satisfying, Reacher on Prime Video is still one of the most reliable picks around. Alan Ritchson plays Jack Reacher, a former military police investigator who's traded his old life for a drifter's existence, carrying nothing but the essentials as he moves through the country he used to serve. What to watch tonight Watch tonight: Princess Mononoke on HBO Max Princess Mononoke is streaming on HBO Max in the US, and on Netflix in the UK and Australia, and it remains one of the most fully realized fantasy epics Studio Ghibli ever produced. Written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the film follows Ashitaka, a young prince cursed by a demonized boar god, as he travels west searching for a cure and stumbles into a war between industrial expansion and the forest itself.

Wednesday August 26

On this day Headhunters turns 15 Fifteen years ago, Headhunters turned the polite ritual of a job interview into the setup for a chase. Aksel Hennie plays Roger Brown, a star corporate recruiter who funds his lavish apartment and his even more lavish wife by moonlighting as an art thief, using his interviews to case the walls of the executives he is supposedly vetting. Countdown Fall 2: Deadpoint arrives in theaters in one week Fall 2: Deadpoint sends its climbers higher than the original ever did. Harriet Slater plays Jax, who takes on a punishing plank walk across Thailand's Mount Kwan with Arsema Thomas's Luce, only for a rockslide to leave the pair stranded thousands of feet above the ground with the air running thin and no way down. Tom Brittney and Virginia Gardner round out the cast, and Grace Caroline Currey, who led the first Fall, makes a brief return, giving longtime fans a thread back to where the story began.

Tuesday August 25

Now at home Her Private Hell is now available to watch at home Her Private Hell arrives on digital today, August 25, a month after its July 24 theatrical opening, and can be rented or bought on Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home.

Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton lead as Elle and Private K, two people searching for missing family whose paths cross inside a metropolis swallowed by a strange, deadly mist. On this day Mechanic: Resurrection turns 10 Ten years ago this week, Mechanic: Resurrection sent Jason Statham back into the family business of murder disguised as accidents. Arthur Bishop had gotten out once already, in the 2011 remake that kicked off this version of the story, and Resurrection made a whole plot out of proving that retirement never really sticks. Countdown The Last Sunrise arrives on Prime Video this Wednesday The Last Sunrise follows Ry, a college student managing a chronic illness, through what might be her last easy summer. Sent to Mallorca with her overprotective mother, she falls for a local named Julián just as her health and a family secret both start catching up with her.

Monday August 24

Countdown Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey comes home on November 17 The Odyssey is still in theaters, five weeks after opening on July 17, and it now has a home date: it arrives for digital rental and purchase, and on 4K Blu-ray, on Tuesday, November 17, four months to the day after release. Until then the film stays where Nolan wants it, on the largest screens that will show it. On this day This Must Be the Place turns 15 Sean Penn barely resembles himself in This Must Be the Place. As Cheyenne, a retired goth rock star hiding out in Dublin, he wears smudged eyeliner, a teased mop of hair and the flattened, half whispered voice of someone who quit performing decades ago. When his estranged father dies, Cheyenne flies back to New York and quietly takes up a search his father never finished, tracking down the former camp guard who tormented him. Countdown Hope opens in two weeks, and it's Na Hong-jin's first film in a decade Hope opens in US theaters on Monday, September 7 in premium formats, with a wide release two days later, and the wait has been a long one. The setup is deceptively simple: a police chief and his rookie deputy in a remote South Korean village are sent to investigate a creature that starts picking off the locals, and what they uncover turns into something far bigger than either of them expected.

Sunday August 23

Upcoming this week Colony leads six new arrivals this week, from Korean horror to a Looney Tunes courtroom comedy Six new titles land between August 23 and 29, and the range could hardly be wider: a Korean zombie thriller from the director of Train to Busan, a bittersweet summer romance, a Ridley Scott survival film, and a cartoon coyote finally getting his day in court. Now at home Minions & Monsters is now available to watch at home Minions & Monsters is available to rent or buy digitally on Amazon, Apple TV and Fandango at Home, after a theatrical run that began on July 1. It is not on a subscription service yet, so for now this is a premium rental, but it is the first chance to see Illumination's 1920s Hollywood monster comedy without a trip to the multiplex.

Saturday August 22

On this day Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back turns 25 Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back turns 25 this year, and it remains one of the most unabashedly self aware comedies of its decade.

Friday August 21
