It’s a smaller release slate this week, and with two horror movies leading the charge it feels more like an October release drop than a December one! Check out what’s on shelves this week:
DetailsSilent Night (2021)
It could have been a very hard-hitting emotional story that would have left me in tears, both from laughter and the very sadness of the situation. The problem is none of the main characters are very likeable. They are all self-absorbed, snobbish and a bit bitchy. #SilentNight

We’ve got a little bit of everything this week, including an out-and-out blockbuster, some great catalog releases, and some kids fare for the little ones. Check it out!

Well, the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving and Black Friday in the US are usually pretty heavy with home video releases but most of the big ones have already come out. Here’s what’s on tap this week!
DetailsGhostbusters: Afterlife

Well, it already feels like the biggest single week of home video releases of the entire year, as all the studios try to make sure their products are front and center on store shelves for Black Friday. On top of that, there have been several major releases over the past couple of weeks that were delayed due to supply chain issues and delivery delays, so get cozy, because this week’s column is a long one!
DetailsFinch
This movie is really about the relationship that builds between a misanthropic man, who even before the cataclysm, didn’t work well with others, and a childlike robot.
DetailsWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Not only did he have the correct balance between reality and zany manic energy, but there is a subtle dark humor that was portrayed to perfection.

Not the biggest week, not the smallest, but no huge A-list tiles means you can explore some smaller fare and discover some new favorites.
DetailsThe Eternals
There is a lot of care and heart in the movie, and for beings that have lived for thousands of years, they have found a kind of humanity, that most humans are missing.
Details
It’s kind of a small week this week but with some big releases, including two major box sets, beloved Christmas specials, and a few major catalogue releases. Dig in!
DetailsArmy of Thieves
The movie has some nice elements. The music is expertly composed and accents the film nicely without being overwhelming. The imagery and cinematography are gorgeous, and the characters are all well performed and endearing.
