TOP PICK


Straight Outta Compton
Rated R
Studio: Universal
Formats available: BD, DVD, VOD
This biopic of the rap group NWA runs a bit long, but it’s still a well-made flick, juggling multiple characters and connecting with a fan base that transcends racial demographics.

ALSO AVAILABLE


Everest
Rated PG-13
Studio: Universal
Formats available: 3D BD, BD, DVD, VOD
Spring for the 3D version of this experience for impressive visuals in this coffee-table book come to life for the real-life adventure-minded viewer.

Jem and the Holograms
Rated PG
Studio: Universal
Formats available: BD, DVD, VOD
My pick for worst movie of 2015, an embarrassing failed attempt at adapting the goofy and fun 80s cartoon about a crime-fighting band pop band. Sadly, what made the cartoon unique was left in the dust for a Disney Channel wannabe rip-off.

12 Monkeys: Season 1
Not Rated
Studio: Universal
Formats available: BD, DVD, VOD
Check out this first season of Syfy’s small-screen adaptation of Terry Gilliam’s brilliant and terrifying look at time travel and world-ending disease.

Diary of a Teenage Girl
Rated R
Studio: Sony Pictures Classics
Formats available: BD, DVD, VOD
An underseen and often uncomfortable-to-watch film tells the story of a teenage girl’s sexual awakening in the 1970s.
