DEADPOOL FOR ALL

Gather round everyone! Uncle Deadpool’s got a story to tell, and it’s a tall tale filled with adventure, friendship, and not a decapitation or F-bomb in sight.

That’s right; it’s Once Upon a Deadpool! The freshest, funniest, PG-13-iest outing yet for Hollywood’s favorite super-scoundrel is finally here, and this time the whole family can enjoy, with new footage and meta-commentary from Deadpool himself.

No kids? No problem!

Movie nerds and Deadpool devotees alike won’t want to miss DP and his new (captive) BFF, former TV wonder boy Fred Savage, as they poke, prod, and skewer the original Deadpool 2 in a strange but sweet story time tribute to The Princess Bride.

MERC WITH A HEART OF GOLD

Deadpool wouldn’t be Deadpool without a core of sugary sweetness beneath the murderous exterior, and Once Upon a Deadpool is no exception.

Since Wade is no stranger to cancer (having been diagnosed prior to his transformation into the red rascal we know and love), he wanted his latest Vudu venture to do some real good for others afflicted by the disease.

$1 of every purchase of Once Upon a Deadpool will be donated to the (temporarily renamed to fit the PG-13 theme) charity Fudge Cancer.

You can check out the details here, and purchase Once Upon a Deadpool now to share with the kids, enjoy a whole new Deadpool experience, and help out a great cause all in one.

BLOCKBUSTERS FOR ALL

Fans of musicals, action dramas, and off-the-wall comedy will all find something to love in this week’s batch of new releases.

Beat-down boy meets talented but overlooked girl, and together they vow to make her a once-in-a-generation star. Filled with triumph, trouble, and tears, Bradley Cooper’s star-studded remake of the 1937 classic A Star is Born is a crowd-pleasing star turn for Cooper and Lady Gaga.

War makes strange bedfellows, and none could be stranger than the US and Soviet forces united to stop a military coup and all-out war in the fast and furious Hunter Killer.

Guess who’s ready to settle down. Scene-stealing, samurai-swording super-something Deadpool is back in action, and this time everyone can get in on the mayhem. The totally re-cut, PG-13 Once Upon a Deadpool is fun for the whole fam, with new footage, Fred Savage, and much, much, more.

NEW TO RENT

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Haddonfield. Michael Myers is headed back to his old stomping grounds for one hell of a reunion, but an all-grown-up Laurie Strode has been waiting to show him the ultimate Halloween.

Heeeeere’s Slappy. The demonic dummy is ready to make some new friends, and he’s bringing his whole crew of terrifying tricks and treats (including some living gummi bears) along for the ride in Goosebumps 2.

HALLOWEEN IN DECEMBER

Christmas has come and gone, and for hardcore horror fans that means the countdown to the spookiest season is already back. To celebrate the digital release of the all-new Halloween, the chilling full-circle conclusion to the 1978 original, we want to reward some hardcore Halloween-heads with Michael Myers replica masks.

Michael Myers may still be on the hunt for his ultimate Halloween trophy, but this is your chance to claim yours in the form of his haunting headpiece (a unique injured version based on the climax of the new film). To claim the prize, we want to know who your ride-or-die (literally) monster-hunting partner is.

Just like Jamie Lee Curtis and Judy Greer in the new film, everyone needs a partner in crime who’s willing to fight until the bitter end. Head to our FaceBook post here and tag your best horror cohort in the comments for a chance to win 1 of 2 pairs of terrifyingly life-like masks, and don’t forget to tag #HalloweenUnmasked.

Enter to win if you dare, and watch the all-new Halloween (and the original film, now on Vudu) for some twisty, terrifying fun in up to 4K UHD.

NEW THIS WEEK: FIRST MAN, THE HATE U GIVE, AND MORE

Posted on January 8, 2019Author Kyle Kubo

BOLDLY GOING

This week’s protagonists are on a mission, whether for discovery, for equality, or for the safety of the United Kingdom.

One small step for Ryan Gosling, one giant leap for cinema. With groundbreaking special effects and moving performances, First Man brings Neal Armstrong’s historic walk on the moon to fully-realized lunar life.

After witnessing the police shooting of her best friend, one teenager has no choice but to find her voice. Based on the hit 2017 novel, The Hate U Give is a moving, confident narrative ripped from today’s headlines.

Watch lead actor Amandla Stenberg speak about her connection to the source material in the clip above.

You can’t keep a good(ish) spy down. In a world of cyber-terrorists, virtual reality, and smartphones (gasp!), England’s least modern man-of-mystery has some catching up to do in Johnny English Strikes Again.

NEW TO RENT

It’s all fun and games until everyone gets hurt. In a Halloween theme park filled with pretend ghosts, goblins, and ghouls, one very real killer is out for some very real blood. Welcome to Hell Fest.

Growing up is hard, even in the Mid90s. Watch budding skater Stevie get a crash course in friendship, family, parties, pain, and more in the street-smart slice-of-life from writer-director Jonah Hill.
