poster Insidious: The Last Key Trailers

Blu-ray and DVD Buy From Amazon

The fourth chapter in the Insidious franchise focuses on Dr. Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) as she faces her most personal haunting—her family home. The Last Key is scripted by Leigh Whannell, the writer behind the first three chapters (and the director of Insidious: Chapter 3) and directed by Adam Robitel, and the result is about on par with the previous installments.

poster Jane Trailers

DVD Buy From Amazon

One of last year's most heralded documentaries, Jane offers an intimate portrait of legendary primatologist Jane Goodall using newly discovered footage from the 1960s. The film comes from Brett Morgen (The Kid Stays in the Picture).

poster Thelma Trailers

DVD Buy From Amazon

The first supernatural thriller from Danish writer-director Joachim Trier (Louder than Bombs, Oslo, August 31st) follows Thelma (Eili Harboe), a young student at a university in Oslo who begins to experience increasingly violent seizures as she becomes attracted to her classmate, Anja (Okay Kaya). When Thelma discovers her seizures are a symptom of inexplicable supernatural powers, she must confront buried secrets from her past.

poster All the Money in the World Trailers

Blu-ray and DVD Buy From Amazon

Like Danny Boyle's new FX series Trust, Ridley Scott's 2017 film follows the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) and the desperate attempt by his mother (Michelle Williams) and Getty's advisor (Mark Wahlberg) to convince his billionaire grandfather to pay a ransom. The movie is most notable for its last-minute recasting (after the movie was already filmed) of the role of J. Paul Getty—first played by Kevin Spacey—with Christopher Plummer, who earned an Oscar nomination for his few weeks of work.

poster The Greatest Showman Trailers

Blu-ray and DVD Buy From Amazon

It's not great, but if you are looking for a new original musical, you don't have many other options. This long-gestating film is a period biopic starring Hugh Jackman as circus impresario P. T. Barnum. Alongside him are Michelle Williams, Zac Efron, Rebecca Ferguson, and Zendaya. Bill Condon co-wrote the screenplay for first-time director Michael Gracey, and the original music comes from the in-demand team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Oscar winners for recent best picture nominee La La Land (and recent Tony winners for Dear Evan Hansen).

poster Molly's Game Trailers

Blu-ray and DVD Buy From Amazon

Accomplished screenwriter Aaron Sorkin makes his directorial debut with this true-story crime drama starring Jessica Chastain as Molly Bloom, whose high-stakes poker game caught the attention of the FBI when the Russian mafia attended one evening. Though it didn't make a huge impression with moviegoers, Game did earn Sorkin his third Oscar nomination for writing.

poster Phantom Thread Trailers

Blu-ray and DVD Buy From Amazon

One of 2017's best-reviewed movies, Phantom Thread is the second collaboration between director Paul Thomas Anderson and actor Daniel Day-Lewis following 2007's There Will Be Blood, and both films ultimately went on to score best picture nominations. The star, in what he has declared to be his final film role, plays a fashion designer in 1950s London who runs a successful fashion house with his sister, Lesley Manville. Critics found the result to be a can't-miss work that's utterly strange, sensuous, and funny.

poster The Commuter Trailers

Blu-ray and DVD Buy From Amazon

The only thing that makes Liam Neeson angrier than taking away his daughter? Making him late for work. The latest installment in Neeson's unlikely (but wildly successful) late-career action phase finds him playing an insurance salesman who is drawn into a murder conspiracy while on his daily train commute. Jaume Collet-Serra (Non-Stop) directs, maintaining his uninterrupted streak of mediocrity.

poster The Post Trailers

Blu-ray and DVD Buy From Amazon

Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated drama tells the timely true story behind the Washington Post's risky unveiling of government secrets with the publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971. The incredible cast is led by Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, appearing together for the first time, and also features Sarah Paulson, Bradley Whitford, Carrie Coon, Matthew Rhys, Jesse Plemons, Alison Brie, and a mini-Mr. Show reunion of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross.

poster Hostiles Trailers

Blu-ray and DVD Buy From Amazon

Christian Bale plays an Army captain who must escort a Cheyenne family home under difficult conditions in 1892 in this bleak but slow-paced western from director Scott Cooper (Black Mass). A fairly strong debut at Telluride (where, in a somewhat unusual move, the film screened without a distributor) prompted a bidding war, with relative newcomer Entertainment Studios ultimately grabbing the rights, though Hostiles didn't turn out to be the Oscar contender they once envisioned it to be.

poster Paddington 2 Trailers

Blu-ray and DVD Buy From Amazon

Need something to watch with your kids? Look no further than this sequel to Paddington that currently ranks among the best films of 2018 so far. The new film catches up with the Peruvian bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw), now happily settled with the Brown family. In hopes of surprising Aunt Lucy on her 100th birthday, Paddington takes on a series of jobs to buy the perfect present, only for it to be stolen. Boasting even better reviews than the first film, Paddington 2 returns director Paul King, as well as Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Imelda Staunton, Julie Walters, Peter Capaldi and Jim Broadbent. Joining the fun are Hugh Grant and Brendan Gleeson.
