We are back with another edition of weekend movies, I am your host Ricky Valero. Below, we share the best new weekend movies to watch in theaters and available on streaming services that you won’t want to miss.

The fall season is beginning to ramp up, and boy, oh boy, is this one of those weeks where we have so many releases that the start of falling behind on releases begins this week. Nevertheless, we’ve got a lot to talk about, so let’s dive in.

We have our first big massive Awards Contender hitting theaters this weekend in The Woman King. The film stars Viola Davis as Nanisca, who led the all-female warrior unit to protect the African kingdom of Dahomey. If the movie is good, we could look at a contender in Best Actress, Costume Design, Productions Design, and possibly score. Of course, we all know that Davis can knock our socks off in the acting department and this might be her fiercest role to date.

We have another movie that I saw back at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival coming out this week, God’s Country. Even through nine months of the year and over 200 release watches in 2022, Thandiwe Newton gave one of the year’s best performances. It is only released in limited theaters, but I highly recommend seeking this one out if you can.

As for streaming options this week, I have my eye on the Netflix film, Do Revenge. The dark comedy looks like it will be a lot of fun with Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke leading the way as our co-leads.

What will you be watching this weekend? Will you enjoy a movie in theaters or streaming?
