What movies and series should we watch this weekend? (Fourth week of Aban 1404)

The concern of the weekend, how to spend our weekend, is common to city life. All over the world, people of the weekend, of course, for some of the people of the world, the first of the week, is an opportunity to rest and have fun away from the worries of work and more serious matters of life. Some people prefer to spend it outside the house, going to a party, cinema, theater or any other public place, and some people choose to stay at home. The most common recreational activity at home is watching a movie or series. Now everyone chooses according to his own taste. Sometimes it becomes difficult to choose, because there are many options. Sometimes a whole weekend is spent with the question of “what movie to watch” and no one can make any decision. This old tradition of introducing movies and series may be able to answer this question. Following the same media tradition that fills the pages of social networks, we present a good movie, a good series, a new movie, a horror movie and an anime. These movies might make you feel better.

What new movie should we watch?

• “Weird Friday” movie

We don’t really welcome Disney’s new move of reviving their films from twenty years ago and making sequels and remakes for them, but the case for “Freaky Friday” is different. This series of films is a collection in itself, which has existed since the seventies in the form of various movies and televisions, and to see them make another strange Friday does not conflict much with the roots of this series. The cool thing about this other “Freaky Friday” is the return of the main actors from the 2003 film; That means Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back for this sequel, along with most of the old film’s cast. The story of the original movie is repeated in a more complicated way. While in Freakier Friday, mother and daughter are swapped, this time in “Freakier Friday”, now grandmother and mother and daughter are swapped with another girl. The movie is really fun and even though it looks more like a low-quality TV movie, if you simply watch it, you will enjoy everything about it. The good thing is that you don’t have to have seen the original movie and you can easily watch the weirder Friday this Friday.

What is a good movie to watch?

• “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” movie

We are introducing Sonic 3 because everyone seems to have forgotten that this movie is not only one of the best video game adaptations of all time, but also one of the best action movies of a few years ago. The Game Awards 2025 nominations seem like a big joke, with Doyle May Cry and Splinter Cell being the best game adaptations of the year, but Sonic 3 isn’t even on the list. That’s why we have to remind everyone once again why Sonic 3 is one of the best action movies you can see. The movie starts with great action scenes and at the end it reaches a climax that you can’t even imagine. The characters of Sonic, Knuckles and of course “Shadow” are depicted at their best. “Jim Carrey” as the main anti-hero (who soon joins Sonic) gives one of his best performances in this movie.

What horror movie should we watch?

• The movie “Dogs Don’t Wear Pants”

Sometimes you come across a European movie that doesn’t even look scary on the surface, and if you search for its style and story, there is no trace of the horror genre, but second by second it is disturbing and disgusting. The movie “Dogs Don’t Wear Pants” is the story of a family man who one day discovers a dungeon in the basement of a tattoo and piercing clinic where people hurt themselves for sexual pleasure. It doesn’t take long for this typical family man to be attracted to this and experience more severe physical pain one after another. The film is also scary in terms of direction and there is a lot of suspense in most of its scenes, and the important thing is that there are deeper story layers in it.

What animation should we see?

• “Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League” animation

“Batman Ninja Vs Yakuza League” is one of the best animated films of the last few years, even though it has no story, and this is only because of its crazy action scene after scene. From the moment the film begins, you are treated to fast-paced, terrifying action, while also seeing many excellent designs of the main characters of DC’s Justice League. These characters have all found a Japanese version and in a parallel world, they have the role of Yakuza boss. The flow of the film doesn’t go down until the end and you don’t even understand how they got to the end, but we can clearly say that the story is pure nonsense and was written with the sole purpose of justifying the strange events inside it in the simplest possible way.

What series should we watch?

• “Jujutsu Kaisen” series

The cinemas of the world have been hosting the “Jujutsu Kaisen” anime movie called “Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution” for a few days. This movie is a cut of about two hours of parts of the second season of the original series. However, there is no reason to watch this movie when the original series itself is better. The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen starts a little loose, but by the end of its work, everything from the story to the action picks up, and finally the second season starts from the same high point and is many times better than the first season. Considering that the third season of the anime is set to start in January, now is the perfect time to review seasons one and two, or watch them for the first time.
