Years after a flu ravages civilization, a number of survivors band together as a so-called Traveling Symphony, but they face potential peril from a cult leader who has a connection to one of them. Cast members include Mackenzie Davis, Himesh Park, David Wilmot, Daniel Zovatto, Gael Garcia Bernal, Danielle Deadwyler ("Till"), Enrico Colantoni and Lori Petty ("Point Break"). ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD) "THE REMAINS OF THE DAY" On its 30th anniversary, this superb drama from the acclaimed Merchant-Ivory filmmaking team makes its 4K Ultra HD debut. In the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, Anthony Hopkins is a marvel of restraint as the butler in charge of the staff at an English estate, with an equally excellent Emma Thompson as a housekeeper who tries to open up his emotions ... a failed effort in most instances. James Fox and Christopher Reeve portray the masters of the house at different times, with veteran actor Peter Vaughan quite moving as the Hopkins character's father, also a manservant who taught the profession to his son. Also notable in the cast is Hugh Grant, in the sort of period piece he specialized in until his career took a major turn soon after this with "Four Weddings and a Funeral." ›››› (PG: AS, P) "SALVATORE: SHOEMAKER OF DREAMS" A profile that crosses a couple of different disciplines, this documentary from filmmaker Luca Guadagnino ("Call Me by Your Name") showcases the work of Salvatore Ferragamo, a shoe designer whose work serviced a number of stars from the silent- movie era. Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks – spouses and two of the founders of United Artists – and Gloria Swanson were among those whose wardrobe, specifically that on their feet, benefited greatly from Ferragamo's unique talent. Celebrated director Martin Scorsese and fashion titan Christian Louboutin are among those offering comments, again indicating the dual worlds that Ferragamo operated within. ››› (PG: AS) (Also on Blu-ray and Digital) "THE PRICE WE PAY" The title cost may turn out to be considerable, indeed, for two thieves (played by Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff) and their hostage (Gigi Zumbado, formerly of the series "Bridge and Tunnel") in this frequently gruesome melodrama from "The Midnight Meat Train" director Ryuhei Kitamura. The criminals flee after robbing a pawn shop and take shelter at a remote farmhouse ... and you can tell just from that description that sooner than later, there will be trouble. Indeed, there is when the site's owner returns, and the place's concealed dungeon is a major part of that. Vernon Wells ("The Road Warrior") also is featured. ››› (R: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) "THE OLD WAY" For all the movies he has made, Nicolas Cage hadn't brushed up against the Western genre until this film. He plays a former gunslinger determined to go straight by prioritizing his family responsibilities, but like "The Godfather's" Michael Corleone, he finds himself pulled back into his old way of life by an outlaw. He needs help, though, and he gets it from a surprising source ... his young daughter (Ryan Kiera Armstrong). Nick Searcy ("Cast Away"), Clint Howard and Abraham Benrubi also appear. ›› (R: P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) "EMPIRE OF LIGHT" Though it's not set during the coronavirus pandemic, this drama from writer-director Sam Mendes ("Skyfall," "American Beauty") deals with a situation that also has been relevant more recently. Set in the early 1980s, it casts Olivia Colman ("The Crown") as a movie-theater manager dealing with personal and professional concerns, partially because of the questionable financial status of her business. Her newest employee (Micheal Ward) has his own challenges, and though he's not sure he'll stay very long, his growing relationship with his boss has profound impacts on both of them. Colin Firth, Toby Jones and Crystal Clarke ("Sanditon") also star in the film, which currently has an Oscar nomination for best cinematography (by the celebrated Roger Deakins). DVD extra: "making-of" documentary. ››› (R; AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray, Digital and On Demand) Micheal Ward "We struggled with a title, and I think that was an eleventh-hour choice. Somebody went, 'Yeah, that's good enough.' I'm not good at titling things." – Paul Reiser of "Reboot" on Hulu, on naming "Mad About You" prior to its 1992 premiere " t a S t I' t o n p "I just had my girlfriends who lived with me answer the phone all the time, and if it was him, I was in the bath or I was out shopping or I was napping. There were all kinds of reasons why I couldn't talk to him. He finally got it." – Rita Moreno, Turner Classic Movies' Star of the Month for February, on rejecting a producer's advances early in her film career " w t i b o w w H M M f p i "It's always good to be a guest star, though it's difficult for me, because I do well with familiarity. Showing up and getting to know people and then leaving stresses me out, but it's a great reminder of how hard it is to do that job." – Missy Peregrym of "FBI" on CBS " a d I S to le b o d P C
