New Movies on Streaming: ‘Thunderbolts,' ‘Ballerina' + More

This weekend, there's a real plethora of great new movies on demand. Some of this year's biggest blockbusters, including Thunderbolts and Ballerina, are now on VOD, along with other huge titles like Another Simple Favor, Tornado, and Ice Road: Vengeance. But amid all the high-octane action and big names attached to this week's new releases, we're also excited for the arrival of the new French romance Jane Austen Wrecked My Life. Jane Austen Wrecked My Life, a French romantic comedy written and directed by Laura Piani, stars Camille Rutherford as Agathe Robinson, a French bookseller who writes a romance novel and finds herself at a writers residency where she becomes entangled in a love triangle. Sounds like the perfect antidote to superheroes and shoot-'em-ups if you ask me. 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. Marvel's Thunderbolts, which arrived on demand this week, marks the final film in Phase Five of the MCU. (Ironheart, the new series that just dropped on Disney+, is the last show in Phase Five.) In Thunderbolts, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena Belova, the adopted sister of Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow character. Yelena, a black widow assassin herself, is now leading a team of antiheroes, including Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), and Red Guardian (David Harbour) as they find themselves on a dangerous expedition that will redeem their reputations. WHERE TO WATCH THUNDERBOLTS Ballerina, which is set in the John Wick universe and does indeed feature Keanu Reeves as our previously dead assassin, stars Ana de Armas as Eve, an assassin herself. After the death of her own father when she was a child, Eve was taken in by Winston, the character portrayed in every Wick movie by Ian McShane, who eventually trains her to be a trained killer (who also happens to be an actual ballerina). The film is out now on demand.

Sunderland Shorts Film Festival returns 'bigger' for 2025

A film festival, which attracts a worldwide selection of new movies, has returned with its biggest programme yet, according to Sunderland Shorts Film Festival, which is now in its 10th year, will show more than 200 films at venues across the city centre until events are being operated on a "pay what you feel basis" and other tickets are being priced low to encourage people from all backgrounds to director Chris Allan said it had seen its most popular year and had received more than 1,100 entries, hundreds more than in 2024. He said the festival gave an opportunity for "passionate filmmakers" to showcase their work in a city that was becoming increasingly recognisable for being "passionate about film". "We've got Oscar-nominated films this year, BAFTA-winning films in the mix, as well as some fantastic grassroots from people starting out their careers," Mr Allan said."But it's not an event just for filmmakers. If you want to see films from a genre you love there's the opportunity to do that." Hundreds of films across several genres are being shown throughout the week, many of which have never been seen Lee Taggart is premiering Hadid and I, a fictional short following the story of a bereaved husband who discovers his daughter may have the same rare genetic condition that killed his Sunderland filmmaker said: "You may think it's not fodder for comedy, but when I meet the patients and families, they laugh, they joke, they cry together and that's what I wanted to show."I'm so proud of Sunderland Shorts, I think Sunderland and whole of the North East should be proud of it." The event, which is in partnership with Sunderland City Council and the Sunderland Culture House, is being held at the David Puttnam Media Centre, Pop Recs and Beth Jones, cabinet member for communities, culture and tourism, said the event "continues to go from strength to strength"."Every year the festival grows and showcases Sunderland and what we have to offer to the world."
