This article will be updated throughout the month as more movies are available to rent on demand.
As the football season concludes and summer blockbusters are yet to arrive, you might be wondering how to keep yourself entertained at home. Consider watching a film that’s currently playing in cinemas, a Premium Video On Demand (PVOD) release of an Oscar-nominated movie, or a blockbuster that continues to draw crowds. This month offers a variety, with options ranging from horror, drama, and even a musical about a monkey!

Tim Fehlbaum, 94 minutes

In September 1972, a tragic incident occurred at the Olympic Village in Munich when armed individuals seized athletes and trainers as hostages. Tim Fehlbaum’s historical thriller doesn’t delve into the attack itself, but rather the journalistic reaction to it, focusing primarily on the viewpoint of the ABC Sports team who were present to cover the Olympics. The film, featuring Peter Sarsgaard, John Magaro, Ben Chaplin, and Leonie Benesch, highlights how TV news was transformed that day by broadcasting live coverage as the events unfolded, rather than reporting on them after they had happened. This movie was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
Wolf Man
Leigh Whannell, 103 minutes

Leigh Whannell, known for his successful adaptation of “The Invisible Man”, moved on to create this less satisfying depiction of creatures that appear during a full moon. The narrative revolves around a family attempting to clean out the cabin of Julia Garner’s estranged father, Christopher Abbott, only to discover a dangerous entity residing in the woods nearby. After Abbott’s character is bitten, the danger escalates both within and outside their home. Whannell’s film falters more than it flourishes, but it may prove more effective when watched at home.

Better Man
Michael Gracey, 135 minutes

Despite investing over $100 million into one of cinema’s most innovative and unique biographical films, it unfortunately went largely unnoticed in the U.S., with many people unfamiliar or uninterested in its subject, Robbie Williams. However, this is a movie that truly deserves to be watched – daring, surprising, and offering a fresh perspective on a true story. It even earned an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects, which undoubtedly helps soften the financial loss.

Mufasa: The Lion King
Barry Jenkins, 118 minutes

Critics gave the director of “Moonlight” a hard time for making a live-action version of a Disney cartoon, but Barry Jenkins poured as much creativity into this prequel to the beloved “Lion King” tale as he could. The movie will likely appear on Disney+ soon, but you’ll only be able to watch it on Premium Video On Demand (PVOD) starting mid-February. It’s interesting how many people criticized this film from the moment it was announced and then it ended up being one of the top seven highest-grossing films of 2024.
