Long have Star Wars Rebels fans waited for the sixth episode of Ahsoka to make its Disney+ premiere after years of needing answers. I’ll have a lot more to say about this episode under the photo. But for right now, I can say it is everything that Rebels fans could have wanted. Well, almost everything. Some faces are not in the episode but that’s only because they didn’t serve the story. If you have not…

Jeff Malmberg spoke with Solzy at the Movies last week about the new Netflix documentary, The Saint of Second Chances. Malmberg co-directed the film with Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville. He also edited the film with Alan Lowe. Both have been wanting to make a baseball movie for quite some time now. It just so happens–as Jeff tells me–that Morgan first met Mike Veeck fifteen years ago. The two filmmakers started scheming together about how they…

Little Shop of Horrors: The Director’s Cut replaces the theatrical ending by restoring musical’s original ending to the film. Before The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin, both Howard Ashman and Alan Menken adapted a 1960 film, Little Shop of Horrors, as an off-Broadway musical. Roger Corman did the original film as a joke. It would go on to grow a cult following. The musical is proof that one can turn a bad…

Golda is one of at least two biopics this year featuring non-Jewish actors wearing prosthetics to portray Jewish people. The immediate background going into Golda: Egypt, Syria and Jordan surprised Israel on Yom Kippur in 1973 with an attack on the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. Fighting would last 19 days and the U.S. would step up with ceasefire talks. The war would leave devastating ramifications for Golda’s legacy. In 1974, Golda would testify…

Irena’s Vow brings the Broadway play of the same name and the story of Irena Gut Opdyke, a Righteous Among the Nations, to the big screen. Antisemitism is at its worst levels in decades. All you need to do is take a look on social media, especially Twitter, where there are calls to ban the ADL. Worst of all is that the call is coming from the contemporary version of Henry Ford, Elon Musk. Irena…

To Live and Die in L.A. features one of the most thrilling car chases in cinematic history and looks amazing in 4K Ultra HD. Kino Lorber Studio Classics released the film on 4K UHD back in July, a few weeks before William Friedkin’s passing. The 4K UHD release includes every bonus feature contained on Shout’s sold-out 2016 Collector’s Edition. The only difference is that this release contains a brand new HDR/Dolby Vision master made from…

The TIFF-premiering Dumb Money does for Wall Street Bets and GameStop what The Big Short did for the subprime mortgage crisis. You can thank Taylor Swift and her concert film for Sony changing their release plans. The initial plans were a wide release on October 6. But because of Taylor and the Swifties, the wide opening is now taking place on September 29. It’s for the best because the awards contender demands our attention even…

After winning awards at Sundance this year, Theater Camp makes its home video and Hulu debut after an all-too short theatrical run. Please be advised that there will be no physical release at this time. The film’s bonus features are exclusive to digital retailers. What follows with modifications is my original review from Sundance: Theater Camp uses a mockumentary approach as its means of storytelling in this very hysterical music-driven comedy. I love a good…
