Just a few releases this week, one about storms and boats, one about being single in New York and one about some cops pulling a heist. Take you’re pick or you know check out our #NewOnNetflix article to see what sitting at home’ll get ya. First up lets see what Chris Pine is up to will we?

Finest Hours, The (3D)

Director: Craig Gillespie
Starring: Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger, Eric Bana
The Coast Guard makes a daring rescue attempt off the coast of Cape Cod after a pair of oil tankers are destroyed during a blizzard in 1952.

How To Be Single (15)

Director: Christian Ditter
Starring: Rebel Wilson, Dakota Johnson, Alison Brie, Leslie Mann
There’s a right way to be single, a wrong way to be single, and then…there’s Alice. And Robin. Lucy. Meg. Tom. David. New York City is full of lonely hearts seeking the right match, be it a love connection, a hook-up, or something in the middle. And somewhere between the teasing texts and one-night stands, what these unmarrieds all have in common is the need to learn how to be single in a world filled with ever-evolving definitions of love. Sleeping around in the city that never sleeps was never so much fun.

Triple 9

Director: John Hilcoat
Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Kate Winslet, Woody Harrelson, Gal Gadot, Aaron Paul, Norman Reedus, Anthony Mackie
When a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist, they realise the only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for “officer down”. The chaos that ensues when a police officer is shot in the line of duty is just the diversion they’ll need to do the job, but whether they have the will to kill one of their own is an entirely different matter, triggering a breakneck, action packed finale tangled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.
