IMG_2478

Hey check out these ultra cool Spirited Away No-Face piggy-banks that just arrived! Might be the neatest piece of swag we’ve brought in (so far). Only $19.99. At Commercial and later this week at Cambie. There’s a certain holiday, I’m told, where you’re forced to buy gifts for people coming up. Just sayin’…

Brigsby Bear – Odd-sounding but very well received little comedy/drama about a kid imprisoned somewhere and the only thing he knows about the outside world is a from a show called Brigsby Bear that was created just for him. It ends and he tries to finish off the show. Or something like that.

MV5BNjUyNzQ2MTg3Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzE4NDM3MTI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Despicable Me 3 – Gru teams up with his charming and nicely-quaffed brother Dru for some sort of scheme. Hilarity, I presume, ensues.

Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards – Lots of actors tell 7 different tales of various stories with different subjects. Hello indie comedy/drama effort.

New Releases

MV5BMjM3OTAzMzYzNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNTQ4MzU0MDI@._V1_UY268_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Brand New Testament – So it seems that God is a grumpy old man living in Brussels with his very opinionated young daughter. Hi-jinks, I presume, ensue in this crowd-pleasing comedy.

MV5BZGYyN2IyMzctZGNiMi00Y2VmLWFjNGItYTk3NzdkNDAwYTUyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzY1NzQ2MDk@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Churchill – Another movie about Churchill (Winston) finds old Winnie the British Bulldog grappling with the enormity of Operation Overlord (invasion of France) in 1944.

the-fall-series-3

The Fall Season 3 – The conclusion to the excellent, heavy, dramatic police drama that finds Scully on the trail of a nasty sexual predator played by 50 Shades of Grey.

MV5BNGQ3Y2VjNmUtMDdiMC00YTE1LWI5NmUtZDIzMTJmODQyNDU4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTAzMTY4MDA@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Good Time – Well-received thriller finds the sparkly Twilight vampire Robert Pattison trying to keep his mental patient brother out of jail after a heist goes wrong.

MV5BMjQ5NjA2NDg1MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDAzNDc4MjI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Hitman’s Bodyguard – Sam Jackson and Deadpool are a hit-man and a body guard (not too sure which is which) in this screwball action comedy. You’re on your own with this one.

MV5BMTU0NDI2ODIzM15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDM5Mzc3MjI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

I Do…Until I Don’t – Fake documentary comedy written by, directed by and starring Lake Bell about marriage and, like, what’s up with that? The thesis is what if marriage were a 7-year contract with an option to renew? Hilarity, I presume, ensues.

MV5BMjEwNTM2NDE0Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMzMzNTc4MDI@._V1_UY268_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Kedi – Lovely little documentary about cats that live on the streets of Istanbul and how they are mostly loved and well taken care of. Stars Bengu, Deniz and Duman.

MV5BMTYyODg0NDU1OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNjcxMzU0MjI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Logan Lucky – Steven Soderburgh is back, baby! But did he ever really go away? Doesn’t matter, I’ve pretty much liked everything this guy has ever done. Here’s a comedy crime thriller about some dudes – Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Daniel Craig – who decide to pull off a heist at at NASCAR racing place.

MV5BODEzODA5NjU2NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwODkwNzA5MjI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

The Only Living Boy in New York – Dude has a thing for his Dad’s mistress. Should make for an interesting Thanksgiving dinner.

MV5BMTkxMDAxNDUyNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwOTc3MzcxMjI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets – Luc Besson’s sci-fi extravaganza sure looks pretty. A dark force threatens the universe or something and, as usual, it’s up to a couple of teenagers to save everyone.

MV5BNzRiZjFkMjgtYjAxMy00NjNhLThlZmEtMDk1N2Q3MjFjMTBmXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTMxODk2OTU@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

The Villainess – Cool-looking South Korean revenge thriller (no one does revenge quite like South Korea) about a female assassin who leaves a trail of bodies in her wake while trying to slake her thirst for revenge. I think there might be a little knife work in this one as the IMDB warnings include: stabbed in the head, stabbed in the chest, stabbed in the throat and stabbed in the foot, among other things. Yes please!

New Releases!

MV5BMjM5NDYzMzg5N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwOTM2NDU1MjI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Atomic Blonde – Charlize Theron stars and kicks much ass as the titular action hero in this action espionage thriller. Best name for a movie this year!

MV5BMTc0NzU2OTYyN15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMTkwOTg2MTI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Cars 3 – They’re still making these Cars movies, eh? Guess so.

MV5BMjAxOTA2Mjc3MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMTMxMzIxNDM@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

The Crown – Excellent TV series about the Queen (Liz 2) and her doings and goings-ons in the 20th century.

MV5BYmM5Y2RhNzQtYjUwOC00ZTE4LTg0OTAtZDhhMjQ3N2JkMzZiXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjc2NTgzMzc@._V1_UY268_CR3,0,182,268_AL_

In This Corner of the World – Lovely, dramatic animation piece from Japan about a girl living in Hiroshima during WWII. Probably not the best place to be.

MV5BNTkzNTQ0MzA3Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzg4OTcyMjI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Inconvenient Sequel – Al Gore still has some wind-power left in his old chops and is here to scare you once again with how dire the world is and what we can do about it.

MV5BNzE3Mzc5NTc4M15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDYwNzM3MjI@._V1_UY268_CR3,0,182,268_AL_

Ingrid Goes West – Aubrey Plaza is an unhinged internet stalker who moves to LA to insinuate herself into the life of her latest obsession, Liz Olsen, in this very good comedy for the internet age. Which is now.

MV5BMzU2NDI1NTEwNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMjEwNTIwMzI@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Marjorie Prime – Cool-looking sci-fi number that has John Hamm (mmm hamm) as a guy who, through use of some new fangled technology, contacts his dead father-in-law in holographic image form. Kinda like Tupac. I think.

MV5BZWE3ZTEwZmYtNjRkNy00M2E2LTlhOWQtNTNjYjZiNTdkMjgzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjEwNTM2Mzc@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

Westworld Season 1 – Cool, violent, sex-filled HBO series based on the fine 1970’s film of the same name. Folks pay for a vacation in the “old west” where all of their desires can be fulfilled. But something is amiss…

MV5BODRmZDVmNzUtZDA4ZC00NjhkLWI2M2UtN2M0ZDIzNDcxYThjL2ltYWdlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTk0MzMzODA@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_
