Joey’s Top Pick

A 4K Bonanza!

An inordinate amount of well regarded films are getting 4K releases today, so that’s where the focus is. Among them are Beverly Hills Cop, Cloverfield, The Hunt for Red October, Interstellar, Narc, A Quiet Place, Shutter Island, and The Untouchables. So, if you’ve yet to enjoy any of these on 4K, it’s a perfect opportunity to pick up something new. After all, they’re great on their own, so adding in how great they look like this, it’s a no-brainer!

Three Revolutionary Films by Ousmane Sembène

From The Criterion Collection: “Having blazed a trail for African filmmakers to tell their own stories on-screen, Senegalese auteur Ousmane Sembène took his career-long project—to unlock cinema’s potential as a vehicle for social change—in increasingly urgent and provocative directions in the 1970s. Searing critiques of colonialism, political corruption, patriarchal arrogance, and religious indoctrination, his three features from this decade—the radical call to resistance Emitaï, the wickedly subversive satire Xala, and the controversial historical epic Ceddo—confirmed his standing as a fearless truth-teller for whom the camera was the ultimate weapon in the fight against oppression in all its forms.”
