Played by newcomer Jude Hill, young Buddy finds romance ... and also sizable trouble, the latter courtesy of a local mobster (Colin Morgan) who wants support from Buddy's family. Caitriona Balfe ("Outlander"), Jamie Dornan, Judi Dench and Ciaran Hinds also have major roles in the fine film, presented principally in black-and-white and featuring Van Morrison prominently on its soundtrack. DVD extras: two "making-of" documentaries; audio commentary by Branagh; deleted scenes; alternate ending. ›››› (R: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray, Digital and On Demand) "RUN & GUN" Writer-director Christopher Borrelli's melodrama casts Ben Milliken ("Bosch") as a former criminal who's proud that he's been able to overcome his past on the wrong side of the law. However, others who learn of his previous activities draw him into one more of that type, making him the messenger to retrieve a package with unknown contents. When the mission turns lethal, he tries to keep himself and his loved ones safe, ultimately having to resort to some of his earlier connections to do so. Co-stars include action-movie staple Mark Dacascos, Janel Parrish ("Pretty Little Liars") and Richard Kind ("Mad About You"). ››› (R: AS, P, V) (Also on Digital and On Demand) "MASTERPIECE: AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS" Told a number of times in screen versions (including an Oscar-winning 1956 movie), Jules Verne's classic tale of a global excursion that arises from a gentlemanly wager very recently got treatment from the esteemed PBS anthology series. David Tennant plays Phileas Fogg, who accepts the challenge of traversing the globe within the amount of time indicated in the title, using all sorts of transportation to accomplish the quest. French actor Ibrahim Koma also stars as Passepartout, Fogg's right-hand man, who finds his way into adventures of his own during the trek. Leonie Benesch ("The Crown") appears as a reporter who intends to tag along and document the duo's exploits. ››› (Not rated: AS) "HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN" Michael Landon's popular series about a human-form angel doing good deeds on Earth got a reboot last fall with this version, the first of several projected Lifetime movies updating the show. Singer-actress Jill Scott takes the lead role as Angela, who becomes a school guidance counselor and intrigues the principal ("7th Heaven" alum Barry Watson) with her ability to connect with troubled students. Once he gets clued into her celestial nature, he can't buy that it's actually true ... but he'll learn. Here, Angela deals with a youth (Ben Daon) who recently lost his mother. Scott also is an executive producer of the project, as is Landon's widow Cindy. ››› (Not rated: AS) "ARTHUR: BELIEVE IN YOURSELF" With a title taken from the theme song of the long-running PBS children's series, this animated release comes at a good time, since the show is in the home stretch of its 25-season tenure. (Existing "Arthur" installments will continue to be available on PBS platforms, with new content in such forms as podcasts still to come.) Here, aardvark Arthur and his relatives and friends in Elwood City offer their usual brand of gentle lessons for young viewers in 32 stories dealing with a variety of topics, from adoption to coping with physical challenges. ››› (Not rated) "JAMES BOND: THE DANIEL CRAIG 5-FILM COLLECTION" Daniel Craig's final adventure as Agent 007 – "No Time to Die," now nominated for several Oscars, including one for Billie Eilish's title tune – only has been available on home video for a couple of months, so little time is being wasted in assembling and issuing a 4K Ultra HD set of all five of his movies as James Bond. Many have named his first turn in the role, "Casino Royale," as their favorite of the quintet ... though the third picture, "Skyfall" (with an Oscar-winning title song by Adele), also has its many fans. "Quantum of Solace" and "Spectre" also are included; among other actors who joined the franchise in the films were Ralph Fiennes, Jeffrey Wright, Naomie Harris and Ben Whishaw. Judi Dench returned as Bond's crusty but appreciative boss M. ››› (PG-13: AS, P, V) Daniel Craig "One of the things I'm looking forward to is being in the 'squad room' and suddenly, some wonderful actor I've admired my entire life will walk in. The pool of actors New York has to pull from is so exciting to me." – Camryn Manheim of "Law & Order" on NBC " lo b r s a w a p to M O "I did some work, then she did some work, and now I've got this series going. It's definitely a juggling act, but thankfully, our day has been able to adapt pretty easily to this circus life we've brought her into." – Noah Bean of "The Endgame" on NBC, on balancing parental duties with his actress wife Lyndsy Fonseca " s n g a t b e w – E b w L Towne Park is now Medicaid Waiver approved.
