Lift

Kevin Hart, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Vincent D'Onofrio, Sam Worthington, Billy Magnussen, and more star in Netflix's first big new movie of the year. This heist comedy looks like the perfect Friday movie night pick and it's rated PG-13, meaning it's probably okay for most of the family to watch together! Lift puts a twist on the typical heist formula as it features an expert thief and his crew trying to rob a vault containing $500 million in gold while on a plane!

Sonic Prime Chapter 3

Sonic and his friends are back with an all new season of Sonic Prime! If you and your kids want something fun to binge-watch over the three-day weekend then this is a great choice. The seven-episode third season follows Sonic as he's forced to team up with some unlikely allies to stop Nine after he steals the Paradox Prism. Can Sonic save the Shatterverse before it's too late?
