Video Views Extra: New Review of an Older Movie

The format is dated but, curiously, that may be the best reason to watch it in the first place.

U.S. Home Release Date: 2024-02-19
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Nudity)

Director: Andrew J. Keuhn

In the 21st century, this is a throw-away but what it offered at the time of its release was substantial.

Although there’s probably never a minute that goes by without some kind of barb being tossed, Ostlund reserves his sharpest daggers for illustrating how utterly out-of-touch the ultra-rich are.

Movie-going is not a civics assignment but "Till" is a sufficiently powerful motion picture that it offers more than a history lesson.

Run Time: 2:39
U.S. Home Release Date: 2022-12-20
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Todd Field
Cast: Cate Blanchett, Noemie Merlant, Nina Hoss, Sophie Kauer, Julian Glover, Allan Corduner, Mark Strong

Cate Blanchett’s inhabitation of Lydia is complete and the movie’s presentation of her life is exacting in every detail; the result is nothing short of mesmerizing.

Run Time: 1:44
U.S. Home Release Date: 2022-12-13
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity)
Genre: Romance/Comedy
Director: Ol Parker
Cast: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Kaitlyn Dever, Maxime Bouttier, Billie Lourd, Lucas Bravo

Although this features high wattage stars, it represents a curiously anachronistic attempt at escapist fare.

Run Time: 1:48
U.S. Home Release Date: 2022-11-15
MPAA Rating: "R" (Nudity, Sexual Content, Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Fantasy
Director: George Miller
Cast: Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton, Aamito Lagum, Burcu Golgedar, Pia Thunderbolt

Suffused with hypnotic visuals and anchored by a tremendous performance by Idris Elba, the movie takes its cues from the fantasy workings of Guillermo del Toro and is only occasionally found wanting.

Although relying on some of the alchemy that made the formula successful in 1986, the film’s awareness of cultural shifts makes for a more complete cinematic experience.

Has a free-spirited sense of fun and mischief that allows the viewer to uncover something more enjoyable than the monotonous sameness of the CGI overload.
