She plays a New England realtor who enjoys her recreational drinking a bit too much, a situation that's stoked when she renews her relationship with a high-school beau (Kline). The various influences in her life eventually merge into a reckoning that Weaver plays for all it's worth. Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, David Rasche, Kathryn Erbe ("Law & Order: Criminal Intent") and Kelly AuCoin ("Billions") also are in the cast for directors and co-screenwriters Maya Forbes and Wallace Wolodarsky.

Steve Martin and John Candy play extremely dissimilar passengers who end up sharing lodging and various forms of transportation in their mutual effort to get home ... a pursuit that becomes ever more complicated. Just the idea of the persnickety Martin and the boisterous Candy together is funny, and indeed, it plays out very humorously through their performances here. Kevin Bacon appears in a supporting cast that also includes Laila Robins, Michael McKean and Dylan Baker. The film's success made the public aware that the prolific Hughes could generate more than the teen-driven pictures he mainly was famous (and revered) for at the time. ››› (R: AS, P) "5-25-77" Some people pride themselves on having been among the first to see the original "Star Wars" (now known as "Episode IV – A New Hope"), and this story of Patrick Read Johnson is both related and somewhat different. An Illinois youngster with filmmaking aspirations when the fantasy classic was released (on the date indicated by this picture's title), Johnson headed to Hollywood and managed to become one of the first people outside George Lucas' inner circle to experience seeing the first stage of the saga of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and company. This project (written and directed by Johnson) dramatizes that trek, with John Francis Daley, Austin Pendleton, Colleen Camp and Neil Flynn ("The Middle") among the actors participating. It's hugely notable that Gary Kurtz, who produced the initial "Star Wars" picture, also is among the producers here ... and Johnson did go on to fulfill his career dreams, since he has worked in visual effects for many years. ››› (Not rated) (Also on Blu-ray) "ROLLERBALL" Director Norman Jewison's career has been marked by variety, and one of his most surprising turns was this futuristic 1975 sports drama, adapted by William Harrison from his own short story and making its 4K Ultra HD premiere. James Caan plays Jonathan, a superstar of the title sport – a violent merging of football, hockey and roller derby – whose personal fame worries a hierarchy that would prefer that no one individual stand out in their society. When he refuses to retire voluntarily, his bosses change the literal rules of the game in a bid to eliminate him permanently. John Houseman, John Beck, Maud Adams, Moses Gunn, Ralph Richardson and Pamela Hensley also are featured. The film was remade in 2002. ››› (R: AS, P, V) "RINGO STARR AND HIS ALL-STARR BAND: LIVE AT THE GREEK THEATER 2019" Long a popular act on the concert circuit internationally, the former Beatle serves up a generous helping of hits from that earlier era as well as from his years as a solo star in this performance from the legendary Los Angeles venue. Toto's Steve Lukather, Average White Band's Hamish Stuart and Men at Work's Colin Hay are among the personable Starr's accompanying band members in a program that includes "Photograph," "It Don't Come Easy" and "Yellow Submarine." ››› (Not rated) (Also on Blu-ray) "PEACEMAKER: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON" After being part of the Suicide Squad, Peacemaker was ready to go off on his own. Following the 2021 movie about the team of convicts turned crime-fighters, John Cena worked again with writer-director James Gunn by reprising the DC Comics character – who intends to instill peace, even if that takes committing some mayhem – in this HBO Max series. A black ops soldier, Christopher Smith (Cena) uses everything at his disposal to try to shape the world the way he'd like it, whatever price anyone else has to pay in the process. Robert Patrick ("Scorpion") is cast as Peacemaker/Christopher's disapproving father Auggie, with the "Harry Potter" movies' Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase, a district attorney who moonlights as crime-battler Vigilante. Danielle Brooks ("Robin Roberts Presents: Mahalia"), Steve Agee and Jennifer Holland also are series regulars. A second season is slated to go into production in the new year. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray) John Cena "Coming back to work was exactly the story line Maggie had, and I always love that, when worlds collide." – Missy Peregrym of "FBI" on CBS, about returning to her role on the show after her recent maternity leave " w l a w P C h h "I grew up around a lot of these mugs, and they're very interesting. In Philadelphia, you're always bumping shoulders with them whether you want to or not, especially in South Philly. So I've got the tempo, I've got the idea, I've got the attitude." – Sylvester Stallone of "Tulsa King" on Paramount+, about allegedly knowing actual mobsters " lo t P b t o P I' t S o a m "It was a really alien environment to all of us, and it tested us in so many different ways. It became way more normalized by us just going to each other, 'Hey. man, are you doing all right? How are you feeling today?' We would all talk to each other in that kind of way." – Alfie Allen of "Rogue Heroes" on EPIX, about making the series in locations including Morocco " e u s It n g ' a f a t A o t i
