Young Emily (Darby Camp) is stunned to find that her new canine friend has grown to giant proportions, in relation to the amount of love she has shown him, prompting her and her uncle (Jack Whitehall) to try to hide Clifford from authorities who might be alarmed by his size. The chief of a genetics firm (Tony Hale, "Veep") takes an interest once he learns of Clifford's existence. Sienna Guillory, David Alan Grier, John Cleese and Kenan Thompson also are featured. ››› (PG: AS) (Also on Blu-ray, Digital and On Demand) "POWER BOOK III: RAISING KANAN – THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON" With the Starz "Power" series franchise about to expand yet again, this entry – set in the Queens, N.Y., of the early 1990s – is an easily as gritty prequel to the original show, with MeKai Curtis in the role that executive producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson had. Here, Kanan Stark is a teenager getting a very specific family education, one that immerses him in the world of drug dealing and sets up a very questionable path for him to follow. Omar Epps, Patina Miller, London Brown and Malcolm M. Mays also star. The show was renewed for a forthcoming second season even before it premiered. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V) "VIENNA BLOOD: SEASON 2" Currently being televised on PBS, this melodrama based on novels by Frank Tallis lets viewers see the last couple of episodes before they air if the set is acquired as soon as it's released. In early-1900s Vienna, a supposedly accidental drowning actually might be a matter of murder connected to anti-Semitism, and a student (Matthew Beard) of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's work assists a detective (Juergen Maurer) in trying to determine whether the possibly related factors are indeed connected. That's one of the three cases covered by two-part stories here. ››› (Not rated: AS, V) "SESAME STREET – ELMO'S WORLD: ALL AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD" As the title indicates, long-favorite characters of youngsters populate this release, in which Elmo and company learn about various elements of the area in which they live over two hours of content. Transportation, machines and maps are among the topics explained as the gang participates in the simple joys of making discoveries about people, places and things. Also included is a "Grover's Jobs Through the Years Mash-Up," featuring various occupations that Grover has had, covering everything from driving a cab to predicting weather. ››› (Not rated) "THE 27-HOUR DAY" Autumn Reeser ("The O.C."), a Hallmark Channel-movie regular these days, is a producer as well as the star of this engaging comedy originally shown on that outlet last summer. She plays a workaholic whose intention to launch a wellness brand seems at odds with her own balance – or, more accurately, lack thereof – between work and life considerations. Andrew Walker, who's been a leading man in his own share of Hallmark films, also stars as a romantic interest she meets at a retreat, and he might help her feel more personally fulfilled. ››› (Not rated: AS) "GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE" Jason Reitman ("Up in the Air"), the fellow-director son of original "Ghostbusters" director Ivan Reitman, puts his stamp on the horror-comedy franchise with this chapter that also updates the concept. The daughter (Carrie Coon) and grandchildren (Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace) of spectre-chaser Egon Spengler take up the crusade that was pursued by him and his comrades ... and the latter trio turns up again with the returns of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson. Original co-stars Sigourney Weaver and Annie Potts also appear again as the allies go after their latest ghostly quarry, with Paul Rudd, J.K. Simmons and Josh Gad also on hand – though as in earlier times, the special-effects technicians are among the real stars as well. DVD extra: "making-of" documentary. ››› (PG-13: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, Digital and On Demand) Paul Rudd "I'm really proud of 'West Side Story.' I have only a small part in it, but I'm proud to be a part of such a beautiful movie." – Corey Stoll of "Billions" on Showtime, on being in the current musical remake " S a p b S S c "I can't help but think of me when I was 23 years old, doing 'Carlito's Way.' That was my first film, and I was walking through Spanish Harlem with the legendary Al Pacino, and I was driving this hot rod. I used to show up to the set when I wasn't working." – John Ortiz of "Promised Land" on ABC, on working with younger co-stars now " o y W f t w P t s w O o y Towne Park is now Medicaid Waiver approved.
