Maybe you’re looking to save a few bucks or the current theater choices just aren’t cutting it. Whatever the case may be, sometimes it’s just as nice to sit at home and watch a good flick. Take a look at this week’s picks for some At-Home Alternatives to the weekly cinema options.

Instead of The Best Man Holiday, watch: The Best Man
I’m not really going out on a limb here with this pick but I have been told by fellow FTSer Marc that The Best Man is a solid romantic comedy. With a talented cast featuring Taye Diggs, Morris Chestnut, and Terrence Howard I just may have to seek out this flick for myself this week. [The Best Man Holiday trailer] / [The Best Man trailer]


The-Worlds-End
The World’s End (2013)
It has arrived! The final film in director Edgar Wright’s wonderful Cornetto trilogy (the first two films being Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) is here on blu ray for all the fans to own. It’s a hilarious film as you might have already guessed – full of fun science fiction motifs and boisterous action scenes. If there is any director working today that consistently puts out “I MUST OWN THIS” type films, it’s Wright, so be sure to snatch up your copy quick. [Buy it on Amazon] / [The World’s End trailer]



Event Horizon (1997)

I have been meaning to watch this science fiction horror flick for the longest time but only recently gave it the time of day. It was very easy to see why so many people latched on to the film. The genre mash up mixes well as a space crew is made to deal with incredibly disturbing forces way beyond their control. The film largely works thanks to its talented cast, chilling atmosphere and slick visual effects that have held up very well over the years.

Event Horizon Netflix Synopsis: Seven years after it went missing, a spaceship sends a garbled signal back to Earth that sounds a lot like a cry for help. A rescue ship is dispatched to investigate, but the crew soon realizes that something unimaginable has happened on board.
