Home Market Releases for January 1st, 2019
January 1, 2019
New Year’s Day lands on a Tuesday and I don’t think there are many people who celebrate the new year by buying a Blu-ray. That said, while there’s not a lot of releases on this week’s list, a surprising percentage of them are first-run releases. Love, Gilda is the only real contender for Pick of the Week. Bad Times at the El Royale is the second best, but I want to be able to watch the full thing for my review before coming up with a final judgment.

I forgot this movie existed until I saw it on the new releases list. I think I’m not alone, especially given its box office numbers. It’s not as bad as its box office numbers would suggest, but it is still far from good.

A documentary about Joan Jett, which sadly bombed at the box office. The reviews are good and I wanted to get a screener to review, but I was overloaded with work this week and had to decline. It is worth picking up, if you are a fan of the rocker or of rockumentaries in general.
Video on Demand
The screener arrived technically on time, but too late to get a review done on time. I’ll get to it this weekend.
Video on Demand
A documentary about Gilda Radner, mostly told from her own words. It was a great year for documentaries. Is this one of the success stories? Or are there better options out there? Read our review for my opinion.
Video on Demand
The first of two Hallmark Channel Valentine movies on this week’s list. Not surprisingly, neither of them have any reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Hallmark Channel original movies almost never do.
Video on Demand
This film was a pretty big hit in September, but the critics were not impressed. Who do I side with? Check out our review to find out.

This is the second Valentine release on this week’s list. There are no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but you will know if you are part of the target audience or not.
