New Releases

Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar – Nice, funny comedy (ain’t those the best kind?!) finds Barb and Star leaving home for the first time and going to the title location where they get mixed up in all kinds of hi-jinks!

Coming Home Again – Family drama from Wayne Wang about aging and cooking delicious foods.

I Blame Society – What does it take to get a movie made in this town?! Murder perhaps? A murder most foul? Perhaps?

Love Sarah – Woman opens a bake shop in Notting Hill. Film at 11.

Memories of Murder – Excellent police procedural thriller from the fella who made Parasite. Criterion Blu Ray release.

Pinocchio – From the fella who brought us the excellent Gomorrah and Dogman comes yet another telling of the famous tale of a wooden boy whose nose gets longer when he tells a lie. Insert depraved joke here.

Switchblade Sisters – I love this crazy exploitation gang nonsense from the 70’s. We did a podcast for this one a while back. This is Arrow’s awesome new Blu Ray release.

The Wanting Mare – Strange, but cool, sounding fantasy film about a fictional town who sells special horses to another fictional town. Other stuff happens as well.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Keep watching.
