Thoughts on This Week’s In-home Releases

The home releases of The Exorcist: Believer, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, The Dead Zone, JFK, Oldboy, and Varsity Blues are the most noteworthy releases (and pre-orders) on home video and streaming services this week.

FilmBook Writer Thomas Duffy reviewed The Exorcist: Believer and had this to say about the film:

David Gordon Green’s new “requel,” The Exorcist: Believer, is not really a bad movie but, unfortunately, it suffers immensely from flat characterizations and events that transpire within the film which will disappoint viewers. That said, there are at least three truly solid performances in the new picture that help elevate the material above your standard horror movie.

FilmBook Writer Thomas Duffy reviewed The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and had this to say about the film:

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a film I wouldn’t have missed for the world. Reading the book first may have hurt the movie a bit for me. However fans of the Jennifer Lawrence action pictures are going to enjoy seeing the origin story of Snow and will be more forgiving in terms of some of the liberties the movie takes with the book. I still recommend Lawrence’s new film and believe it will be more enjoyable to people who haven’t read the book but have seen the other films in the franchise.
