As Williams teaches them the game along with his wife Brandy (Aunjanue Ellis), his influence on his daughters is enormous, even when he makes moves with their budding careers that others advise him against. Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton portray the siblings, with Tony Goldwyn, Jon Bernthal and Dylan McDermott also in the cast. ››› (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, Digital and On Demand) "THE BEATLES: GET BACK" How the iconic band came to an end is shown in greater detail than ever before in this engrossing miniseries that debuted on Disney+. During the 1969 recording sessions for what would be the quartet's final studio album, "Let It Be," filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg was given extensive access to the group's creative process ... which was marked by considerable discord. While the resulting footage yielded a 1970 documentary also titled "Let It Be," the majority of it went long unseen ... but Oscar- winning "The Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson restored it and assembled it into this three-part documentary. Its producers also include Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison's widow Olivia and John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono Lennon. Besides the almost 60 hours of visuals that were recorded, Jackson worked with nearly 150 hours of audio material also stored away for more than a half-century, shaping it all into a history of how The Beatles came up with their last collaborative triumph, also involving their legendary London rooftop concert. ››› (Not rated: P) (Also on Blu- ray) "LA LA LAND" One of the critical-darling movies of 2016, writer-director Damien Chazelle's modern take on classic musicals – its year's Oscar winner for best picture – makes its debut in the 4K Ultra HD format. Emma Stone earned her own Academy Award as an aspiring actress who crosses paths with a his-own- worst enemy musician (Ryan Gosling), foreshadowing a complicated romance that's punctuated regularly by song-and- dance sequences choreographed by "the other" Mandy Moore and composed by Justin Hurwitz (who was Chazelle's Harvard roommate). Chazelle and Hurwitz also received Oscars for their work here; co- stars include John Legend (a producer of the picture as well), J.K. Simmons, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jessica Rothe and Tom Everett Scott. ›››› (PG-13: AS, P) "STARGIRL: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON" A hit for The CW in its first round, there was little doubt that this DC Comics- inspired series would get a sophomore session. Brec Bassinger returns as small- town teen Courtney Whitmire, who settles more into her alias as Stargirl, leader of a youthful Justice Society of America. She balances summer school with her search for supervillains to vanquish, and it doesn't take long to find them, especially once they band together into their own group that they label Injustice Unlimited. Yvette Monreal, Anjelica Washington, Cameron Gellman, Meg DeLacy, Luke Wilson and Amy Smart continue as regular cast members. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray) "LA DOLCE VITA" One of the most classic of all foreign films gets a new Blu-ray release, as Federico Fellini's 1960 drama follows a week of the professional exploits and romantic adventures of a reporter (played by screen legend Marcello Mastroianni in an iconic role) as he tries to catch celebrities in compromising situations, hoping to exploit them in tabloid stories. Anouk Aimee and Anita Ekberg portray his main targets, and to say that he gets very close to the mix putting it mildly. ›››› (Not rated: AS) "ENCANTO" The 60th animated feature film in the history of the Disney studio, this tale involves a lot of magic as exhibited by a very special candle. Its powers protect a village, and one family in particular ... though it fails to grant TV superhuman abilities to one member of that clan, but that young woman (voiced by "Brooklyn Nine-Nine's" Stephanie Beatriz) proves to have her own special gift even without the candle's help. John Leguizamo, Wilmer Valderrama, Jessica Darrow and Angie Cepeda also are heard. DVD extras: eight "making-of" documentaries; deleted scenes, outtakes; "Sing Along" feature. ››› (PG: AS) (Also on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, Digital and On Demand) "Encanto" "I think that's when you do your best work, when you know a subject in and out, and you can help with ... hopefully, not your bias, but with your open eyes. A lot of times in meteorology, I've been told that I don't need a script, because I just speak what I know." – Ginger Zee of "Good Morning America" and "Hearts of Heroes" on ABC " y k a h w o b s w Z A H "I connected with (title star) Élodie (Yung) immediately. We just hit it off, and almost too much ... because we're supposed to be doing a drama, and half the time, she's cracking up during the scenes that are not supposed to be funny in any way, shape, or form." – Oliver Hudson of "The Cleaning Lady" on Fox " s i it m s a t d a f o H C Towne Park is now Medicaid Waiver approved.
