Hey movie fans!

This week sees a handful of films from big names and big studios coming to your home. There’s a new Spike Lee joint, “Da 5 Bloods,” streaming on Netflix and it’s a Critic’s Pick. “The King of Staten Island,” directed by Judd Apatow and starring Pete Davidson, is on demand. And the action fantasy “Artemis Fowl,” directed by Kenneth Branagh and based on the popular book series, is landing on Disney Plus.

If you’re looking to catch up with a more familiar comedy hit, our chief critics Manohla Dargis and A. O. Scott are throwing another viewing party, featuring “Nine to Five.” (Remember working in an office?) If you’re in the mood to explore, you can learn more about the L.A. rebellion filmmakers, who shined a light on black working-class characters, or dive into the world of 1940s soundies.

In the meantime, have fun at home at the movies.
