Join the Sixties generation DVD Blu-ray Releases Masthead created by Good & Associates

OnVideo's Weekly Guide to Home Video Releases Tuesday, June 7 -- Monday, June 13 All DVD Releases Zootopia "Zootopia" is Disney's latest smash animated comedy adventure (more than $1 billion worldwide boxoffice) that is a delight for the kiddies and -- despite a little too much silly cuteness -- won't bore parents who have to go along for the ride. The story takes place in the modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia, a city where all animals -- giant bears, moose, lions and elephants -- co-exist -- with sheep, deer, rabbits, and pigs, and follows a rookie bunny cop and a cynical con artist fox who must work together to uncover a conspiracy by unseen forces determined to use fear to take control of the city. It's all pretty innocuous and won't stand the test of time against such modern Disney "message" classics like "The Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast," but the anthropomorphic cityscapes and situations are still fun to behold.Vitals: Director: Byron Howard, Rich Moore. Stars: Voices of Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin, Alan Tudyk, Idris Elba, Bonnie Hunt, Jenny Slate, J.K. Simmons, Shakira, Octavia Spencer. 2016, CC, MPAA rating: PG, 108 min., Animated Family, Box office gross: $318.022 million, Disney.

Advertisement Hail Caesar! "Hail Caesar!" continues Joel and Ethan Coen's deconstruction/reconstruction of Hollywood genres (following their takes on Westerns, spies , and music bios), here making a movie about moviemakers making movies, set in the dying days of the Golden Age of Hollywood. It's a comedy/satire filled with so many cinema memes you'll need a guidebook to keep track (see below). Ostensibly, the film follows a single day in the life of Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), head of production and "fixer" for Hollywood studio Capitol Pictures. When Baird Whitlock (George Clooney), the world's biggest star, is kidnapped by a group of disgruntled Communist screenwriters during production of the studio's latest swords-and-sandals epic, Eddie has to recover his leading man while simultaneously appeasing cowboy star Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich in a breakout performance), disgruntled director Laurence Laurentz (Ralph Fiennes), swimming sensation DeeAnna Moran (Scarlett Johansson) and song-and-dance superstar Burt Gurney (Channing Tatum), all the while manipulating a pair of rival sibling gossip columnists, Thora and Thessaly Thacker (Tilda Swinton). There's plenty of references to 1950s Hollywood, in particular post-WWII MGM: Josh Brolin's character, Eddie Mannix, is based on real-life studio "fixer" Eddie Mannix. Tatum is a stand-in for MGM star Gene Kelly, Johansson definitely is a clone of swimmer and MGM star Esther Williams, and Swinton is a perfect Hedda Hopper, a nasty Hollywood "journalist" who ruled the gossip columns for decades. The Coen's musical and dance production numbers (a tap dance sequence with Tatum, an aquatic spectacle with Johansson) are a marvel to behold, rivalling the best that Hollywood put out during those golden years. It's all a lot of fun and oh, so self-reflexive. A couple of sites have taken it upon themselves to annotate the characters in "Hail Caesar!" Check out an annotated "Hail Caesar!" trailer here, a post at Slate, and more comparisons at Den of Geek!. Vitals: Director: Joel and Ethan Coen.

In recent years, the filmmaker has explicitly depicted, in videos, books, and installation works, her mother's life and their own intense connection to each other. "No Home Movie" is a portrait by Akerman, the daughter, of Akerman, the mother, in the last years of her life.
