New movies to watch this weekend: See 'Mortal Kombat II' in theaters, rent 'The Drama,' stream 'Send Help' on Hulu

Key Points:

• Mortal Kombat II, the sequel to the 2021 arcade game adaptation, has been released in theaters but is criticized for poor filmmaking, choppy fight scenes, and an inconsistent tone, despite featuring fan-favorite characters and intense battles.
• The Sheep Detectives, starring Hugh Jackman, is a charming family-friendly mystery about talking sheep solving a crime, praised for its emotional depth and appeal to both children and adults, now playing in theaters.
• Billie Eilish’s 3D concert film, co-directed by James Cameron, offers an immersive fan experience and behind-the-scenes insights, showcasing Eilish’s artistry and Cameron’s directorial skill, currently in theaters.
• The Drama, a dark comedy starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson about marriage, identity, and race, is now available to rent or buy; it explores the complexities of knowing one’s partner with a mix of humor and discomfort.
• On streaming, Sam Raimi’s horror-thriller Send Help, featuring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien stranded on an island, is praised for its blend of horror and comedy and is now on Hulu; Netflix’s Remarkably Bright Creatures offers a heartwarming story about a widow and an empathetic octopus.
