This week on home video, we’ve got one of the biggest blockbusters of the year (and of all time), a new take on a classic princess story, and an acclaimed biopic to kick things off. Then, we’ve also got a miniseries on a criminal, a documentary about monkeys, and more. Read on for details:
This time out, rogue ex-secret agent Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) seeks revenge on our heroes after they injured his brother in the previous film, and in turn, the gang teams up with the government to bring him down.
Lily James stars as the titular princess-to-be, who suffers the cruelty of her stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and stepsisters (Holliday Grainger and Sophie McShera) when her father (Kenneth Branagh, who also directs) dies. Eventually she meets a “hunter (Richard Madden) who turns out to be more than he claims.
Paul Dano and John Cusack star in a Certified Fresh biopic of troubled Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson at two key intervals in his life.
Tina Fey narrates this Certified Fresh Disneynature documentary focusing on a community of macaque monkeys living in the Sri Lankan jungle.
David Oyelowo turns in a powerhouse performance as the only actor onscreen in this HBO film about a man alone in his house who panics in the wake of a tragedy.
Another HBO production, the Certified Fresh The Jinx chronicles the web of intrigue surrounding billionaire heir Robert Durst and the three unsolved murders to which he was intimately connected.
Season eight of the popular CBS sitcom finds Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) dealing with their engagement, while Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Amy (Mayim Bialik), and Raj (Kunal Nayyar) all deal with relationship issues of their own.
And lastly, from the Criterion Collection, we have Krzysztof Kieślowski’s drama — initially banned by the Polish government — about a man trying to catch a train and the three possible outcomes that emerge out of that scenario.
