May Movies On Demand
Happy May Team! May. The true beginning of one’s personal self-loathing after winter. But don’t fret dear viewers you’re not Michael Phelps. The closest you’ll come to a swimming pool in May is watching re-runs of The O.C. And once you’re done catching up with Seth Cohen’s quick quips and Ryan Atwood’s simmering abs take a look at my top three May Movies on Demand.
The Top On Demand Move For The Babes:
Kate’s Top Three Movies On Demand:
CLOUD ATLAS- Premiers May 14
Two words: Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks in a heady mystery sci-fi drama playing six different characters. If you need more convincing look no further than Halle Berry who is also in this, playing six different characters. Basically everyone in this film plays six different characters unless they’re not very exciting and in that case they only play four. But this is the idea since the story is a poignant look at human connection and acts as a breathtaking exploration of the connection of the past, present, and future. Do you get it? They’re all connected. Legitimately it’s the tag line.
R, SciFi, Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Same day as DVD, Weeks before Netflix & Redbox
PARKER- Premiers May 21
I’m not sure if you’ve seen the previews, but this film is action city. The poster is blood red, and it subtly invites the audience in with the gentle phrase: To get away clean, you have to play dirty. I’m pretty sure that’s the Gambino’s house motto. Jason Statham stars. Obviously. And then out of nowhere a wild Jennifer Lopez appears. She almost makes up for Gigli by being in this fast paced shoot’em up pile of awesomeness. Almost.
R, Action, Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Same day as DVD
SIDE EFFECTS- Premiers May 21
A look into the life of a young women as her world unravels when a drug prescribed by her psychiatrist has unexpected side effects. You see what we did there? Starring Rooney Mara this psychological thriller has been getting rave reviews, and also stars the gorgeous Channing Tatum. Now I’m not sure if he takes off his shirt, but I’d watch it just to see if he did. SIDE EFFECTS effortlessly appeals to the human condition by playing with what’s real and what’s created in the vastness of your own mind. Remember team one pill can change your life. Well, we all know how well that worked out for Neo.
R, Thriller, Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Same day as DVD, Weeks before Netflix & Redbox
