SUPER SEQUEL

Audiences have waited 14 years for The Incredibles (Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack) to be back in action, and Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2 has finally arrived in power-packed, crime-stopping style. The first family of fun is back and ready to run, stretch, sneak, and smash their way to another happy ending for the good people of Metroville and the world.

Packed with action and laughs and available in up to 4K + UHD quality on Vudu, Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2 is an incredibly good reason to gather the kids for a family movie night that everyone will enjoy.

POWERFUL LESSONS

The high-flying stunts, dastardly villains, and classic characters like Frozone and Edna Mode aren’t the only reasons to share Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2 with younger family members.

Behind the super suits and Elasticycles are some great messages about family, strength, and the world today that are worth discussing with any young superhero-in-training.

One of the most powerful themes in Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2 is the importance of pitching in to do your fair share and support the people you care about. When Elastigirl is called to resume her crime-fighting duties, it’s up to Mr. Incredible to take over household duties and take care of the kids while she’s serving justice to evil-doers.

It doesn’t matter that he’s used to being the one who goes out and works; when duty calls he steps up to look after his family and support his wife, an important example for any kid.

Elastigirl’s new responsibilities also offer a teaching moment. Elastigirl was already a top superhero when she met Mr. Incredible, but when heroes became outlawed she devoted herself to taking care of the family. Now that she’s back in the super suit, we get to see her display the abilities and crime-solving expertise that made her such a great hero in the first place.

Seeing Elastigirl, a confident and talented woman, saving the day and winning over the community is a great image for kids.

The film’s antagonist is the villainous Screenslaver, who’s use of hypnotic mind-control is also a subtle message for audiences. The Screenslaver controls the population by reaching out through the screens on their TVs, phones, and other electronics.

The zombified citizens serve as a reminder that too much screen time can have negative effects on the user, especially young children.

Even the supporting characters of Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2 have some wisdom to impart. Voyd, an aspiring superhero, has strong powers but lacks confidence in her ability to be a hero. With encouragement from her mentor Elastigirl she is able to save people with her powers and assist the Incredibles in defeating evil. Her success shows kids what’s possible when you believe in yourself, as well as the important of encouraging others to do the same.

With life lessons and excitement at every turn, Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2 is the perfect film for a super family movie night.

PLUS RENTALS AND MOVIES STILL IN THEATERS

HIDDEN HEROES

Sometimes saving the day means seizing the spotlight and making a big splash, and sometimes it means righting wrongs from the shadows. This week’s newly arrived heroes are serving up some justice on the down low.

The year is 2004. Facebook is on its way in, Friends is on its way out, and an unassuming family with secret superpowers has taken the world by storm. Disney•Pixar’sThe Incredibles brought heart, hilarity, and a relatable realism to animated superheroes, and the long-awaited Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2 packs everything fans have been waiting for and more, in up to 4K + UHD quality.

The Parr family are back and ready to save the day from a mysterious new evil-doer, bring superheroes back from the edge of extinction, and maybe grab some takeout on the way back from soccer practice.

Sometimes when you’re really excited to meet a new person, you don’t notice the red flags signaling that they might be hiding a secret. For the Ku Klux Klan in 1979, that person was a seemingly enthusiastic new recruit, and that secret was the undercover black police detective pulling the strings.

Loosely based on a stranger than fiction true story, BlacKkKlansman weaves a tale of danger, deceit, and discovery as the hunted becomes the hunter.

NEW TO RENT

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again brings us back to the sun, surf, and singalongs that made the original a musical icon. Watch this clip for an exclusive look at the real-life church featured in the films, courtesy of travel blogger @JeanaTravels.

At the intersection of workplace drama, far-out fantasy, and social satire sits Sorry to Bother You. The post-modern fable depicting one man’s struggle for success is an eye-opening (and eye-popping) original that has to be seen to be believed.

STILL IN THEATERS

The temptation to phone it in on a tough workday can be strong, but when lives hang in the balance every wrong decision could mean tragedy.

The Guilty’s award-winning twists and turns all take place in a single room as an emergency dispatcher desperately attempts to help a stranger, but the consequences of his actions reach far beyond the four walls.
