Some of the year’s most popular movies are new on VOD this week, including the blockbuster hit The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, and the Anne Hathaway-Michaela Coel psychological drama Mother Mary.
Hathaway – who is also starring in The Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Odyssey this year – stars as a global pop icon who is preparing for a massive comeback performance in Mother Mary. With just three days before her performance, she has a meltdown and reaches out to her former costume designer, Sam (Coel) with whom she shares a deep but contentious relationship, to help her design the perfect outfit for her concert. Their time together is healing but it’s also a strange and stylish ghost story – literally – as they exorcise demons from their past.
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.
