This week on streaming video, we’ve got a well-received Tom Cruise-Emily Blunt action film, Seth MacFarlane’s western farce, and a coming-of-age film also currently playing in theaters. Then we’ve got a couple more notable new choices, as well as a slew of great films newly available on Netflix. Read on for details:
With the planet under attack from alien invaders, Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is sent into battle — and killed instantly. However, he finds himself in a time loop, reliving the same battle scenario and gradually discovering how to defeat the enemy.
In this Western spoof, writer/director/star Seth MacFarlane plays Albert, a cowardly rancher in a wild west town who falls for Anna (Charlize Theron), who’s handy with a gun. However, Anna is married to a wanted outlaw, and soon Albert is in his crosshairs.
Emily Browning stars in this coming-of-age comedy directed by Belle and Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch.
In this intriguing western from the Coen Brothers, Hailee Steinfeld stars as Mattie, a 14-year-old who hires grizzled U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to track down the man who killed her father; reluctantly, he agrees, and the two journey across an unforgiving landscape, encountering danger along the way.
