Release Date: August 4, 2020
A Review By: Kevin Lovell
Disc Rating: 8/10
Synopsis:
His Dark Materials takes place in a world parallel to our own, where a human’s soul exists outside one’s body in the form of a talking animal called a “daemon.” The all-powerful Magisterium rule over this world where they suppress any knowledge that attempts to challenge its ideas, particularly around the theory that multiple worlds exist. Season One of this compelling HBO series follows Lyra (Dafne Keen), a young orphan who was left as a baby at Oxford’s Jordan College by her uncle Lord Asriel (James McAvoy) and desires a life of adventure beyond the confines of her bookish, scholarly surroundings. But when Lyra’s best friend goes missing, her search for her kidnapped friend uncovers a plot involving stolen children and transforms into a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon known as Dust. Over the course of the season, as she journeys through the different worlds – including our own – Lyra encounters extraordinary beings and dangerous secrets, with the fate of both the living and the dead at stake.

[DVD Review] Paddington Bear: The Complete Series (1989); Available On DVD August 4, 2020 From Warner Archive Collection
Cast: Charlie Adler, Tim Curry, Georgia Brown (VOICES)
Release Date: August 4, 2020
A Review By: Kevin Lovell
Disc Rating: 7/10
Synopsis:
A young bear ends up in London’s Paddington Station, where he is spotted sitting on an old leather suitcase outside the lost and found by a family called the Browns. Unable to resist the label around his neck that reads “PLEASE LOOK AFTER THIS BEAR. THANK YOU,” the Browns decide there is only one thing to do. They take the tired, hungry little bear home and adopt him — not as a toy or a pet, but as a child. He is then named Paddington, after the place where he was found. Since 1958, when his story was first told in Michael Bond’s classic book, Paddington Bear has delighted millions of children throughout the world. Years later, Hanna-Barbera brought Paddington to cartoon life in all his innocent, duffle-coated charm. Merrily plunging into one misadventure after another, Paddington keeps the Brown family in constant comic turmoil. But thanks to his pure heart and good luck, things always turn out all right for Paddington in the end.

[Blu-Ray Review] The Outsider: The Complete First Season; Now Available On Blu-ray, DVD & Digital From HBO – Warner Bros
Cast: Ben Mendelsohn, Cynthia Erivo, Bill Camp
Release Date: July 28, 2020
A Review By: Kevin Lovell
Disc Rating: 8/10
Synopsis:
Based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel of the same name, The Outsider is a new drama series that follows a seemingly straightforward investigation into the gruesome murder of a local boy. When 11-year-old Frankie Peterson’s body is found mutilated in the Georgia woods, police detective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn) sets out to investigate – with eyewitnesses and physical evidence pointing to Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman), a popular high school teacher, Little League coach, doting husband and father. While the case appears ironclad, Ralph is baffled by the emergence of contradictory evidence that places his suspect in a neighboring city at the time of the murder. The mysterious set of circumstances surrounding this horrifying crime leads Ralph, a seasoned cop still grieving the recent death of his own son, to bring in unorthodox private investigator Holly Gibney (Cynthia Erivo), whose uncanny abilities he hopes will help explain the unexplainable.
