Like the Real Housewives franchise, Glen Powell seems to never take a break from our screens, and his latest film, Twisters, is new on VOD this week, only a month after it arrived in theaters. You can also catch the new psychological drama Mothers’ Instinct with Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain on demand, along with the new crime thriller Crescent City, and the Scarlet Johansson-Channing Tatum drama Fly Me To The Moon.
Crescent City is a new crime thriller that feels a little like Hollywood extended an olive brand to actors with bad press – the film stars Alec Baldwin and Terence Howard as detectives trying to solve a case of serial murders down south. But in this movie, even the detectives are suspects…
These are just a few of the films 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.
Twisters
Directed by Lee Issaac Chung, Twisters is the long-awaited sequel to the Helen Hunt-Bill Paxton 1996 action-disaster flick, Twister. In the new film, Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as a former storm chaser who gave up her dream after a close call, but an old pal (played by Anthony Ramos) eventually convinces her to come out of tornado retirement. Things get complicated (and also romantic) after she meets an arrogant social media influencer and tornado chaser played by Glen Powell.
Mothers’ Instinct
Anne Hathway and Jessica Chastain star in Mothers’ Instinct, a thriller about best friends and neighbors, Céline and Alice, whose friendship and families are tested after the death of a child. Josh Charkes and Anders Danielsen Lie co-star in the film which is based on the French novel by Barbara Abel.
