New on DVD: Senna (2010)
Nearly two decades after his death the short, colorful racing career of Brazilian Ayrton Senna somehow seems bigger than ever. Especially now that we have Senna, an exciting (if hagiographic) documentary biography from ESPN Films.
New on DVD: If a Tree Falls (2011)
If a Tree Falls isn’t just a terrifically insightful history of the Earth Liberation Front, it’s also a meditation on youth, idealism, the political process, and the very essence of human nature.
New on DVD: Jeff Who Lives at Home (2011)
Jeff Who Lives at Home is a pleasantly meandering effort that exhibits more genuine soul than any comedy since Bill Forsythe’s sublime Local Hero back in 1983.
New on DVD: The Devil’s Double (2011)
By all rights, Dominic Cooper’s performance in last year’s The Devil’s Double should have turned this journeyman Brit actor into a major star. That it didn’t just proves once again the injustices of a life in Hollywood.
New on DVD: Safe House (2012)
Safe House is a spy movie about one guy’s attempts to survive while exposing a conspiracy within the CIA and offers Denzel Washington in award-winning charmy/scary mode.
