Thoughts on This Week’s In-home Releases

The home releases of Wonka, Fear the Walking: Season 8, Contagion, The Crow, and Once Upon a Time in the West are the most noteworthy releases (and pre-orders) on home video and streaming services this week.

FilmBook Writer Thomas Duffy reviewed Wonka and had this to say about the film:

Gene Wilder was still a much better Wonka, overall, and if you’re going to do a marathon of these films, it’s probably best to start in the order in which they were made. Wilder is followed by Depp and then there’s Chalamet who tries here, for certain, but only occasionally gets the role right on the mark. It’s a close call but Wonka is still getting a pass because it’s the holidays and the supporting cast is absolutely full of terrific casting choices.

FilmBook Writer Thomas Duffy reviewed Migration and had this to say about the film:

Migration, in the final analysis, is a truly endearing movie that needed a stronger plot to enhance the overall quality of it. It goes down easy enough but when you look at what other animated movies have done this year (even the wildly energetic Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget), you’ll see that there was a lot more potential for Migration (even with its brief running time) than was actually fulfilled.

FilmBook Writer Thomas Duffy reviewed Next Goal Wins and had this to say about the film:

Fassbender’s character transformation in Next Goal Wins is believable. This character he portrays has dealt with a lot which has led him to be cruel and to live life on the edge. Perhaps, the story told in Next Goal Wins was what this character needed to redeem himself. As a redemption story, Waititi’s movie works. As a comedy, it isn’t entirely successful. It could have focused more on the dramatic elements.
