Some great new movies are streaming this weekend, and we’ve got your guide to the recently released films that deserve your attention as you unwind and relax over the next few days.
We say Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are for movies, but if you’re not in the mood to trek out to your local theater, you can always heat up a bag of microwave popcorn, curl up on the couch in your PJs and hit “play” from the comfort of your own home.
This weekend you can watch Channing Tatum’s new crime comedy Roofman, if you’re in the mood for a feel-good watch with an all-star cast. You can also watch Jennifer Lopez’s new musical, Kiss of the Spider Woman. Or, if you’ve got kids or just love animation, Netflix has a new animated film out on Friday about a pair of siblings who go on a fantastical, dreamy adventure.
