Logan, the dark take on the superhero movie with Hugh Jackman as an aging, dying Wolverine, and the witty horror film and race satire Get Out, the directorial debut of Jordan Peele, highlight the May calendar of offerings arriving on cable and streaming video-on-demand.
Also arriving in May are The Salesman, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and the Oscar-nominated documentary I Am Not Your Negro, about literary giant James Baldwin, and animated feature The Red Turtle, a wordless fantasia produced in Europe by Japan’s Studio Ghibli.
Matthew McConaughey stars in Gold, Robert DeNiro is The Comedian, Shirley MacLaine gets in The Last Word, and Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan get Fifty Shades Darker, plus there are the action films Resident Evil: The Final Chapter with Milla Jovovich and xXx: Return of Xander Cage with Vin Diesel and comedy Fist Fight with Ice Cube and Charlie Day.
Video-on-Demand, what used to be known pay-per-view, is essentially a streaming rental service and has become one of the most popular home viewing choices for new movies. It is available through most digital cable and satellite systems. Most titles are also available through web-based VOD services like iTunes, Amazon Video, Vudu, Fandango, and Google Play.
