New on DVD & BluRay this week are three films which awards season completists will need to see...
- Mr Holmes in which 76 year-old spry Sir Ian McKellen is aged up to play the world's most famous detective at 93 years of age as he mind begins to deteriorate. Mr Holmes was a leggy arthouse hit this summer but can that be converted into an awards run for Sir Ian? We shall see...
- Tangerine, one of the year's best films, follows Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) & Alexandra (Mya Taylor), best friends & hookers, as they search for Sin-Dee's boyfriend/pimp (James Ransone) who cheated on her "with real fish!" during her latest prison stint. It's the most unexpected and awesome Christmas comedy ever. It's already snagged multiple Gotham nominations but pray for Golden Globe, BFCA, Spirit nominations and top ten lists because this Sean Baker gem deserves them.
- Trainwreck, or The Coronation of Amy Schumer as 2015's It Girl. Expect Golden Globe Comedy nominations
Also out this week
- Star Wars Episodes I-VI Steel Book Collection
The amount of times they've convinced people to buy the Star Wars films in different versions / formats is like Swindling Achievement of the Century right? - Pay the Ghost in which Nicolas Cage collects another paycheck. He collects loads of them but they surely have less zeroes on them by now.
- Self/Less in which Ben Kingsley steals Ryan Reynolds body (I mean... who wouldn't?)
- We'll Never Have Paris a romantic comedy with Melanie Lynskey, Simon Helberg, Maggie Grace, and Zachary Quinto
- Two Men in Town a restoration of the 1973 French ex-con drama with Jean Gabin, beautiful Alain Delon, and young Gerard Depardieu
