New Movies on Streaming: ‘A Minecraft Movie,' ‘Snow White' + More

Yahoo16-05-2025

Did you miss some of this year's most-talked-about movies when they came out in theaters? Not to worry, they're arriving this week on VOD. Hits like A Minecraft Movie and Snow White are new to digital, along with dozens of other great titles.
Another title we're excited for is The Wedding Banquet which is also available to stream this week. In the film, a remake of the 1993 Ang Lee movie, Han Gi-Chan stars as Min, a gay Korean man living in Seattle whose friend Angela (Kelly Marie Tran) agrees to marry him so he can get a green card after his boyfriend Chris (Bowen Yang) refuses to commit. The whole plot blows up when Min's grandmother – who doesn't know Min is gay and that the marriage is fake – arrives to throw a massive celebratory wedding banquet and the ruse is discovered, and everyone's secrets spill out into the open.
These are just a few of the films that are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, and through your cable service this week. Check out what movies are available to buy or rent on demand now.
L-l-l-ava! Ch-ch-ch-chicken! The movie that your kids can't stop singing along with is now available for you all to watch and sing along with at home. (Whether you throw your snacks at the screen is up to you.) A Minecraft Movie, starring Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge and Danielle Brooks, has made its way to VOD this week, and in case you've been living under a giant, block-shaped rock, you'd know that the movie is the first (but perhaps not the last) film adaptation of the best-selling video game.
WHERE TO WATCH A MINECRAFT MOVIE
Disney's live-action Snow White movie has been many years in the making and plagued by various controversies, and now, after a theatrical run, it's coming to digital. Rachel Zegler stars as an innocent young princess who becomes roommate to seven computer-generated men after her mean stepmother keeps trying to get her to engage in creepy beauty contest. Watch the movie, or for added entertainment just skim through the 125,000+ comments on the YouTube trailer.

Disney price target raised to $140 from $120 at Guggenheim

Guggenheim raised the firm's price target on Disney (DIS) to $140 from $120 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm, which updated its Disney model to better reflect a refined operating expense outlook at Linear Networks, modestly lower theatrical revenue from relative underperformance of recent films, better than previously forecast Sports advertising revenue and 'relatively resilient' attendance and travel trends in the Experiences segment, notes that it lifted its full year segment operating income forecast to $17.7B from $17.6B, which is 'modestly ahead' of consensus $17.65B. With Hulu now fully under Disney control, the firm views the company as 'well positioned to pursue a unified direct-to-consumer strategy' and further lean into bundle packaging to drive incremental revenue, the analyst added.

‘Squid Game' finale lays bare a reality: The wealthy win and nice guys finish last

Rich people suck. The message was loud and clear when Netflix's Korean thriller 'Squid Game' arrived in 2021. Imagining wealth and class disparity at the heart of a high-stakes competition, it featured cash-strapped contestants playing a series of children's games to the death while uber-wealthy spectators bet on their odds of survival. The show's masked elites watched the carnage from a luxe, concealed spectator box, chomping on cigars and chortling as player after player met a gruesome death. The Korean-language show became the streamer's most watched series ever. Comeuppance for the hideously affluent seemed imminent and likely at the hands of protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae). The winner of Season 1's 'Squid Game' deserved vengeance after surviving a series of horrific scenarios — a hopscotch-type match played on a fragile glass bridge above a deadly chasm, a red light-green light contest where players who moved at the wrong time were 'eliminated' by machine gun fire. He watched as good people were killed by pink guards, other contestants and their own stupid actions. But no. The last six 'Squid Game' episodes, now streaming on Netflix, did something entirely unsatisfying. They veered from the prospect of timely, eat-the-rich vengeance porn to unflattering commentary about the rest of us, the other 99% who aren't Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos. What did we ever do to deserve a lethal game of double dutch with two giant mechanical children swinging a 10-ton metal rod in place of a jump rope? A lot, apparently. 'Squid Game' shows that under the right circumstances, regular folks are just as greedy and morally corrupt as the obscenely prosperous, no matter if their money problems stem from unforeseen medical bills, wanton gambling or generational poverty. Press the little guy or gal hard enough and they're just as ruthless as the mogul that's suppressing them. Season 3 picks up exactly where 2 left off. Gi-hun, who'd found his way back in the clandestine gaming complex (situated inside a mountain on a remote island), is Player 456 again among a new round of contestants. He'd planned to infiltrate the operation from inside, staging a coup against the VIPs and Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) who run the games. But now it's clear he's failed. He's cornered by guards, the players who fought alongside him are dead, and he's thrown back in with the remaining players, many of whom survived because they're the most craven of the group. Free and fair elections are at the heart of every democracy, or so 'Squid Game' reminds us each time the bedraggled players are asked for their vote regarding the next round: Continue to compete and thin the herd for a larger reward or stop and split their winnings with their fellow contestants? Majority rules, and each time the group opt to sacrifice their lives — and everyone else's — in pursuit of money. Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has spoken about his dwindling faith in humanity as it relates to his concerns about South Korea's democracy, and you'll hear him loud and clear in Season 3: Voting is power, but look what happens when the population increasingly puts its own self-interest above that of the greater good. It's a scenario that should be recognizable to Americans by now. 'Squid Game' Season 3 takes that idea to the extreme, and quite fearlessly, Hwang puts the series to bed without punishing the rich. Instead he dares to lay bare a truth that's become all too apparent of late: Wealth wins over morality and money trumps accountability. Nice guys not only finish last, they wind up pulverized like everyone else below a certain tax bracket, no matter their dedication toward humanity. The Korean show's run has ended, but not before a finale that alludes to a Hollywood sequel. The episode, set in Los Angeles, shows a familiar scene. A down-and-out man is approached by a mysterious, well-dressed figure who uses a simple kid's game to test his want of money against his tolerance for pain and humiliation. Those who've watched 'Squid Game' will recognize it as the beginning of Gi-hun's journey, which ended with a sliver of redemption in an abyss of darkness. The mysterious figure appears to be a recruiter for a new, English-language 'Squid Game.' She's played by an A-list celebrity — Cate Blanchett — operating in a city renowned for its self-involvement and privilege. 'Squid Game' has a whole new playing field.

Jared Verse hates Eagles fans, but calls them the best opposing fan base

Before the Rams and Eagles met in the playoffs, Rams linebacker Jared Verse said he hates Eagles fans. Verse hasn't backed off from that, but he also respects the passion of the fans who he says scream obscenities at him from the stands. In an interview with the YouTube channel Whistle, Verse was asked to name the best opposing fan base. 'Probably the Eagles,' Verse answered. 'I've got to give them that. I like when you kind of get into it, you're aggressive, you're loud, and they stand by that with no doubt.' Verse also said the Eagles are the toughest crowd to play in front of in the NFL. 'Playing the Eagles is like playing your rival in college because you never know what they're going to say, and they're going to try to say disrespectful stuff,' Verse said. 'They're going to bring something up. Don't get me wrong, they're not going to say anything where it's like, 'Bro, you crossed a line,' but they're going to say something where you're like, 'Hey, who you talking to?'' Verse will hear it from Eagles fans again in Week Three, when the Rams visit Philadelphia.
