Three Must-Watch Free Movies to Stream This Weekend (April 4-6)
From April 4 to April 6, you can watch movies for free, including a musical biopic starring Val Kilmer, a comedy from the 2000s, and a family comedy featuring Adam Sandler.
The moment to enjoy A Minecraft Movie is approaching, with Warner Bros. betting on its first major production of 2025, based on the best-selling video game of all time. The involvement of Jason Momoa and Jack Black will undoubtedly attract families to theaters. Initial projections indicate that the movie could generate over $70 million in its opening weekend, which could lead to an early announcement of a sequel.
The target audience for A Minecraft Movie is primarily children, but it should also be noted that parents will be looking for something to watch afterwards. To save money, one option is to choose streaming services that offer movies for free. One of the recommendations includes a tribute to the late Val Kilmer, who recently passed away at the age of 65. This film is one of the actor's standout roles and could be the most memorable.
The film paying tribute to Kilmer is The Doors (1991), produced by Tri-Star Pictures. After his passing, actress Jennifer Tilly shared an anecdote about how she met Kilmer during the audition for this movie. Tilly mentioned that Kilmer arrived barefoot and semi-naked, which made her feel that he would perfectly embody Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors. The film, directed by Oliver Stone, tells the tragic and rising story of Morrison and his band, who went from local figures to overnight celebrities, thanks to Jim's charismatic presence. Although it is not considered the best film, Kilmer's performance is a reflection of his dedication to acting. This movie is available to watch for free on Pluto TV.
Another film that might appeal to children, thanks to Jack Black, is Tropic Thunder (2008), from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures. Adults will find humor in this satire that follows a cast on a war film shoot that becomes immersed in a real conflict. The director decides to immerse the actors in the jungle, where they must deal with their clumsiness and the dangers of the environment, unaware that they are in a war zone. The comedy features performances by Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., and Brandon T. Jackson, and is available for free streaming on Tubi.
Finally, Grown Ups (2010), from Columbia TriStar, brings together Adam Sandler with his friends in a comedy that is enjoyed without complications. The movie tells the story of a group of childhood friends reuniting at a summer house to pay tribute to their deceased basketball coach. The story unfolds in a pleasant manner, filled with laughter and inside jokes among friends. Grown Ups is also available to watch for free on Tubi.
