One definite highlight is "Steamboat Willie," the 1928 short subject that officially introduced Mickey Mouse to the public. "The Brave Little Tailor" is another famous Mickey- starring attraction included here, along with "Mickey's Delayed Date" (guess who his date is) and "Hawaiian Holiday" among the other featured titles. As well-known as the central figures are, it's been a while since some of the cartoons were last seen. ›››› (Also on Blu-ray) "CHICAGO" There haven't been many movie musicals for a number of years, but this Oscar-winning screen rendering of the 2002 stage hit – now in a limited-edition 20th-anniversary Blu- ray (OK, so it's off by a year) – confirmed that there's still a place for such films. Catherine Zeta-Jones (in an Academy Award-earning turn) and Renee Zellweger play incarcerated killers in the Windy City of the 1920s, with Richard Gere as a crafty attorney who ends up working for both women. The vastly talented cast also includes Queen Latifah, John C. Reilly, Taye Diggs and Christine Baranski; "All That Jazz" is a highlight of the John Kander-Fred Ebb score. Special features include a very thorough retrospective documentary, extended musical performances and an audio commentary featuring director Rob Marshall and screenwriter Bill Condon. ›››› (PG-13: AS, P, V) "JOE PICKETT: SEASON ONE" Originally an exclusive for subscribers to the Spectrum cable system, this drama series – based on novels by C.J. Box, whose writing also inspired the series "Big Sky" – got in on the "Yellowstone" craze by being set in and around the same environment. Michael Dorman ("For All Mankind") has the title role as a Wyoming game warden whose duties lead him into conflicts that threaten his family as well as him. Julianna Guill ("The Resident") plays Joe's wife in a cast that also includes Sharon Lawrence, David Alan Grier and Brendan Fletcher. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray) "THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING" Heather Locklear was one of television's most popular stars when she parlayed that into a starring role in this comic-book- inspired 1989 sequel, now making its 4K Ultra HD debut. She plays Abby Arcane, the considerably more good-hearted daughter of the sinister scientist (Louis Jourdan) whose experimentation generated the title creature (Dick Durock, reprising his heavy-makeup- requiring part from the 1982 "Swamp Thing" movie). Under prolific director Jim Wynorski, the film maintains a spooky feel while still putting forth a traditional adventure-movie feel; Sarah Douglas also appears. ››› (PG- 13: AS, P, V) "HALLMARK CHANNEL ROMANCE 6-MOVIE COLLECTION" Meghann Fahy recently got lots of attention her work on "The White Lotus," but before that (and while she was on the series "The Bold Type," she had a charming turn in "Just Add Romance" ... one of the Hallmark titles included in this set that arrives just in time for Valentine's Day. She plays an entrant in a cooking competition who falls for a rival contestant (Luke Macfarlane), generating complications that only increase as the event proceeds. Among the other films included here are, appropriately, "All Things Valentine" (with Sarah Rafferty of "Suits") and "Valentine in the Vineyard" (starring Rachael Leigh Cook); Lacey Chabert and Taylor Cole are in additional features). ››› (Not rated: AS) "BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER" Without the active participation of the original adventure's star, the late Chadwick Boseman, this Marvel sequel also serves as a tribute to him in a very strong sense. Returning director and co-writer Ryan Coogler respectfully crafts a story that sees the residents of the kingdom of Wakanda try to honor their deceased leader by resisting would-be invaders from other parts of the world, including a culture based under water. Cast members who are back for this round include Letitia Wright, Lupita N'yongo, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett – who recently earned a Golden Globe Award and a Critics Choice Award for her work here – Martin Freeman, Winston Duke and Trevor Noah. Additions include Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lake Bell and Richard Schiff. Expectedly, given the profits the first movie made, this film's box-office take was huge. DVD extras: two "making-of" documentaries; audio commentary by Coogler , co-writer Joe Robert Cole and cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw; deleted scenes, outtakes. ››› (PG-13: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, Digital and On Demand) "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" "I thought I was training properly for it, running hills, running with packs on, spending weeks just focusing on that, which is one of the sort of rewarding parts. As I got into the training, I thought, 'Hey, I can do this.' But, no, no, the (drill sergeants) and the Wadi Rum (desert) will have its way with you, no matter what." – Dr. Drew Pinsky of "Special Forces: The Ultimate Test" on Fox " p h o j w o I t t s R w w P F o "It's not like you go back in time and play the same person." – Jennifer Grey, seen recently in "Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation" on Lifetime, about reprising the role of "Baby" Houseman in the "Dirty Dancing" sequel that she's planning to film this spring " i p G " f a " " s s "After the Oscars – and it wasn't just the Oscars, I also had a Golden Globe – I couldn't get a job.
