This week’s big streaming title of note is the feature directorial debut of one of our finest actors, while the new release disc and VOD slate includes an Oscar winner, a couple of shoulda-been nominees, an engaging sequel, and a forgotten little early-‘90s gem. ON NETFLIX The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Chiwetel Ejiofor not […]
Hey gang, the Oscars are over, and thank God for that, huh? With any luck, we won’t have to think about that flaming toilet fire for another few months, and can instead just focus on some good little movies that are wandering amiably into your art house over the next few weeks — most of […]
It’s a big week for family movies on disc, with a new Disney hit and an all-time classic getting the 4K and Blu-ray treatment. We’ve also got an unsung ‘90s gem joining the Criterion Collection, as well as a new buddy comedy/drama and a once-again-relevant first-person documentary on Netflix. ON NETFLIX Paddleton: Few things on […]
That increasingly rare creature — the worldwide blockbuster that also nets great reviews and awards recognition — hits disc and VOD this week, alongside a trio of wildly different (but equally invigorating) catalogue titles. And your Netflix pick for the week is a deep-dive into an inexplicable fringe group. ON NETFLIX Behind the Curve: It’s the […]
This week’s big new streaming release is a Netflix original from one of our favorite directors; Amazon Prime, meanwhile, has added a sleeper you might’ve missed from a Girls co-star. On disc, we’ve got one of this year’s Best Actor nominees, one of this year’s Best Foreign Film nominees, a Best Foreign Film nominee from […]
Good news, folks: there’s a little something for everyone in this week’s new release line-up: a new and classic foreign film, a couple of fall prestige pictures, a nutso new satirical thriller, an overlooked ‘70s gem, and even (since we’re so inclusive around here) one for the kids. ON NETFLIX Velvet Buzzsaw: In retrospect, it’s […]
The Sundance Film Festival closed up shop yesterday, ending 11 days of premieres, competition, and deal-making — and leaving festival-goers and critics to contemplate the independent, foreign, and documentary films that will likely dominate those landscapes for the months to come. Your film editor was among them, and I came away with a strange sense […]
Two fall sorta-indies land on disc this week; both were met with mixed reactions from critics and audiences, but are well worth (at the very least) a rental. A ‘60s classic also lands on Blu this week, via Criterion, as does a first-rate new documentary on a ‘70s icon. And a superhero movie with a […]
The more time your film editor spends working this particular beat, the clearer it becomes that the movie calendar simply never pauses. Two days ago, with the announcement of the Oscar nominations, we entered the final phase of 2018 at the movies – but today, more than a month before they’ll hand those trophies out, […]
This week’s big movie to watch at home is, wonderfully enough, a documentary (well, two of them). And boy are this week’s disc releases an embarrassment of riches: an unconventional biopic, a first-rate bio-doc, and new treats from Criterion and Twilight Time. Off we go: ON NETFLIX Fyre: Director Chris Smith (American Movie) digs deep […]
