Looking for some new movies to watch this week?


Sonic the Hedgehog is returning to the big screen for more family fun!

Idris Elba joins the sequel as the voice of Knuckles the Echidna, along with original cast members Tika Sumpter, James Marsden, Natasha Rothwell, Jim Carrey, Adam Pally, and Sonic himself, Ben Schwartz.

"Its huge, the movie is huge. If you like the first one... our goal is to get everyone to fall in love with this one. I'm so excited for people to see it," Schwartz said.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is in theaters now.

Jeopardy! host and Big Bang Theory actress Mayim Bialik makes her directorial debut in the drama, As They Made Us, which she also wrote and produced.

Starring acting icons Dustin Hoffman and Candice Bergen, along with Glee star Dianna Agron and Bialik's former Big Bang Theory co-star, Simon Heldberg, As They Made Us tells the story of a dysfunctional family struggling to cope after being impacted by a family member's mental illness.

While Bialik explains that the emotional family drama is not a memoir or autobiography, she was inspired by the events of her own childhood and family dynamic.

"I wrote this screenplay really as a grieving process after my father passed away and I wanted to talk about the dynamics of a family affected by mental illness," Bialik said.

As They Made Us is available in theaters and on demand now.

Looking for something a bit more scary? Thrill seekers will love the new psychological horror So Cold the River.

Featuring Bethany Joy Lenz, So Cold the River tells the story of a documentary filmmaker with a traumatic past who is hired to research a secluded dying millionaire. After becoming obsessed with her subject, she uncovers dark secrets about the man's past that lead to tragic consequences.

You can also catch Bethany on an episode of the CBS medical drama Good Sam starring Sophia Bush. Joy Lenz and Hilarie Burton both made special guest appearances on the show reuniting with their One Tree Hill sister. The trio can also be heard on their newest podcast Drama Queens.

"The stan response has been overwhelming, so emotional and I'm just so grateful to be back with my sisters," Joy Lenz said.

So Cold the River is in theaters and on demand now and the Drama Queens podcast is streaming everywhere.
