A few big titles and some solid small ones are what really lift this week up in terms of home video releases. The “biggest” title is nobody’s favorite entry in the Hunger Games series, and not really the best send-off for Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mockingjay – Part 2, but why get that or, god forbid, Daddy’s Home, when you can finally own Edward Yang’s long-long-long-MIA masterwork A Brighter Summer Day in glorious high-definition/any format that isn’t a Laserdisc rip? Or how about the long-awaited Blu-Ray debut of the ultimate one-season wonder Freaks and Geeks, a much better use of the considerable talents of Linda Cardellini than fucking Daddy’s Home? Other than that, you get to see James Woods channeling his own fiendish addiction to coke (he’s a maniac, I tell ya) in The Boost, David Gordon Green channeling Malick and Night of the Hunter with Undertow, Vilmos Zsigmond apparently adding class to the lame-brained Bette Midler vehicle Jinxed, and Neil Jordan owning all with Michael Collins (or so wallflower has led me to believe).
