We're hoping that March will go out like a lamb, weather-wise, but whatever atmospheric conditions we must brave outdoors, we're equally confident that Vudu offers a wonderful variety of movies to match your mood(s) indoors. Consider, first, new offerings that are coming out this week.
New Titles
Arriving this week: three new films.
A winning comedy, Champions stars Woody Harrelson as a former professional basketball coach who is ordered by the court to manage a team composed of players with intellectual disabilities. He must overcome his own personal doubts before his eyes are opened to their championship potential. Kaitlin Olson also stars. Watch the video below.
Now available in 4K UHD, Avatar: The Way of Water comes home, just in time to relive the excitement of an enveloping experience. Directed by James Cameron, the unforgettable adventure stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Stephen Lang.
And coming on Friday, March 31: Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, and Jonathan Majors star in Creed III as the titular champion boxer, his devoted wife, and a childhood friend, respectively. Drama develops when the childhood friend challenges the champion boxer to the bout of a lifetime. Directed by Michael B. Jordan.
Fandango At Home
In addition to the aforementioned Champions and Creed III, what other premium titles are available to watch on Vudu this week?
"Do not feed the bears," the signs say, but no one told the drug dealers. Cocaine Bear is created when one such animal ingests a large package of misdirected drugs, leading to incredible, wild mayhem, and a trail of dead bodies. Elizabeth Banks directed the horror-comedy. Watch a clip below.
Jason Statham, Aubrey Plaza and Hugh Grant star in Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre, directed by Guy Ritchie with his usual, witty style. The action/comedy adventure follows a super spy, a billionaire arms broker, super operatives and a Hollywood movie star.
Some romances burn brighter than others. Of an Age captures the whirlwind, 24-hour romance between a ballroom dancer and the older brother of a friend.
Liam Neeson stars as a legendary detective in Marlowe. Hired by an heiress, he seeks to find her former lover, who has gone mysteriously missing in 1930s Bay City. Diane Kruger also stars.
80 for Brady teams up Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field as four friends who embark on a mission to meet a world-famous American football player in a lovely, warm comedy.
