New movies this week: Watch 'Are You There God?' and 'Return of the Jedi,' skip 'Peter Pan & Wendy'

Some of us saw "Return of the Jedi" five times at the movies in 1983, and those who've never had the pleasure are getting another chance.

This weekend, the "Star Wars" flick is back in theaters for its upcoming 40th anniversary. Another throwback to check out: a feature-film adaptation of Judy Blume's 1970 literary classic "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." If that's not all, Disney+ rolls out a live-action edition of its animated "Peter Pan."

Here's a guide to new movies that will satisfy every cinematic taste, plus some noteworthy theatrical films making their streaming and on-demand debuts:

If you want a reminder of awkward adolescence: 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret'

Moving from New York City to New Jersey would be stressful enough for any sixth-grader. But Margaret (Abby Ryder Fortson) is also dealing with her changing body, new friends, boys and her own religious identity, being the daughter of a Christian mom (Rachel McAdams) and a Jewish dad (Benny Safdie). Kelly Fremon Craig's insightful, touching adaptation is worthy of the influential source material.

'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret': Judy Blume, Rachel McAdams talk periods, book bans

If you like to pretend 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' never happened: 'Return of the Jedi'

It's not a trap! The best "Star Wars" trilogy-closer, "Jedi" stars the original crew of Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and the late Carrie Fisher in an enjoyable adventure with Ewoks, Jabba the Hutt's sail barge, sweet speeder bike chases, another Death Star, more Ewoks, redemption for Darth Vader and a few more Ewoks.

If you've somehow never heard of Neverland before: 'Peter Pan & Wendy'

A new take on J.M. Barrie's familiar fantasy world takes flight, as Wendy Darling (Ever Anderson) and her brothers are taken on a great adventure by Peter (Alexander Molony) and of course run afoul of Captain Hook (Jude Law). But there's just not enough freshness to justify its existence: Aside from writer-director David Lowery's lush visuals and more of a connection between Peter and Hook, it's the same "Pan" as it ever was.

Where to watch: Disney+

If you're in the mood for a kung fu Jane Austen tale: 'Polite Society'

In the refreshingly energetic action comedy, a Pakistani London teen (Priya Kansara) is an aspiring martial artist with big dreams of being a famous stuntwoman. But she first has to use her nifty spin kicks – a work in progress, to be honest – and youthful moxie to foil the suspiciously quick arranged marriage of her older sister (Ritu Arya).

If you're keen on a horror movie about baby fever: 'Clock'

At 37, Ella (Dianna Agron) is a professional woman who hasn't had kids and wonders why she doesn't even like when they're around. She enters an experimental treatment to fix her "broken" biological clock and unlocks all sorts of terror intriguingly tied to her Jewish heritage. Great premise, just OK execution, but with a few really freaky visuals.

Where to watch: Hulu

If you're down for a blood-soaked World War II tale: 'Sisu'

In 1944 Finland, a grizzled prospector (Jorma Tommila) strikes gold, heads off to the nearest bank and runs into a bunch of Nazis holding several women hostage. Then they make the mistake of stealing his gold. Oops! Ultraviolent action ensues as our hero kills bad guys in all sorts of enjoyably brutal ways in the gleefully gory B-movie.

If you're a sucker for shark movies: 'The Black Demon'

Josh Lucas stars as an oil man tasked with inspecting a rig off the Mexican coast, so he decides to make it a vacation for his family. What he finds, though, is a gigantic megalodon shark seemingly ticked off because of all the oil leaking everywhere. The effects are iffy, but give it points for bloody mayhem and a semi-supernatural bent.

Where to watch: In theaters

Also on streaming:

• Ghostface haunts New York City in "Scream VI," the latest in the horror franchise starring Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera that's now available to buy on Apple TV, Vudu, Amazon and Google Play.

• The basketball comedy "Champions," starring Woody Harrelson as the hoops coach for a squad of players with disabilities, streams on Peacock beginning Friday.
