Color Page 12 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • July 23 - 29, 2023 "SUPERSTORE: THE COMPLETE SERIES" Newly available on DVD in a full set, this crit- ically acclaimed NBC workplace comedy lasted six seasons in telling the stories of those working at Cloud 9, a fictional big-box store in St. Louis. Also an executive producer of the show, America Fer- rera is first among equals in the ensemble cast as Amy whose personal plights are balanced by her rise up the corporate chain (which ultimately led to the actress and character being absent for much of the final season). Ben Feldman, Lauren Ash, Colton Dunn, Nico Santos and Mark McKinney also are prominent among the regulars; series creator and executive producer Justin Spitzer went on to make the recently canceled "American Auto," and he'll be represented again next season on NBC by "St. Denis Medical." DVD extras: deleted scenes; out- takes. *** (Not rated: AS, P) "The first time you do something, you just learn how to do it and then you can start to play. So when I wrote and made 'Good Omens' I was learning, how do you do a 'Good Omens'? I think there's this thing in my head, but how does it work? I feel like 'Good Omens' Season 1 was 'Chopsticks' — this [Season 2] is much more me getting to the whole orches- tra." - Author/ Creator/Showrunner Neil Gaiman in an interview with Rolling Stones about the new season of "Good Omens" "When I walk in the homes, most of the history has been stripped out. For me, it feels like it's my job to put it back in. And so it's like taking these really historic piec- es from wherever I find them, breath- ing new life into them and then in turn breathing new life into the spaces and creating a new history for the pieces." - Alison Victoria, host of HGTV's "Windy City Rehab," in an interview with People magazine "Once I came on, they kind of tailored it to my sense of hu- mor. I'm very wacky and dark. That influ- enced [the character of] John Doe a lot." - Anthony Mackie, speaking to Inverse about his portrayal of the video game character in "Twisted Metal" BY JAY BOBBIN Family Viewing Ratings AS Adult situations P Profanity V Violence N Nudity GV Graphic Violence "PAINT" Certain television personalities are bound to come to mind from Owen Wilson's por- trayal of a Vermont-based painter who seems to have it made with his fame as a celebrity on public TV. However, a younger rival (Broadway veteran Ciara Renee) has designs on taking over his place and everything that comes with it, including key relationships and the many perks of the job. Writer-director Brit McAdams' cast also includes Michaela Watkins, Lucy Freyer, Wendi McLendon-Covey ("The Goldbergs"), Stephen Root and Denny Dillon ("Saturday Night Fever"). The film, made in upstate New York, has a script that formerly was on the celebrated Black List of industry-favorite unproduced screenplays. *** (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) "D.I. RAY: SEASON ONE" One of PBS' newest drama series comes to home video, and those who acquire it as soon as it's released can see the final chapter of its four-episode maiden season before its Amer- ican telecast. Parminder Nagra ("ER," "Bend It Like Beckham") has the title role of a police detective new to the homicide division, caus- ing her observations to be dismissed by more experienced peers – some of whom have their own agendas – when she believes there's more to the murder of a young Muslim than it initially seems. The investigation prompts her to confront some personal problems she has long tried to avoid dealing with. Shown a year ago in England, the show has gotten a second=season order there; Gemma Whelan ("Game of Thrones") and Jamie Bamber ("Bat- tlestar Galactica") also star. *** (Not rated: AS, P) "RESIDENT EVIL: DEATH ISLAND" The horror-fantasy franchise continues with this animated direct-to-video chapter, which gives several of the principal characters in- dividual missions before those assignments converge. Jill Valentine investigates a virus that is generating a new wave of zombies, Leon Kennedy seeks a missing scientist, and Claire Redfield hunts a killer fish that's in a vicious league of its own. Eventually, they all end up on Alcatraz Island, where shared peril awaits them. Cable-movie staple Erin Cahill is in the voice cast, as are Matthew Mercer, Stephanie Panisello, Kevin Dormann and Nicole Tompkins. DVD extras: six "making-of" documentaries; design gallery. *** (R: AS, P, GV) (Also on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD Steelbook and Digital) "THE NEIGHBORHOOD: SEASON FIVE" Now headed toward its sixth year, this CBS sitcom marked a milestone during its most recent round … its 100th episode, fea- turing a guest appearance by Jerry O'Connell in a plot involving school principal Gemma's efforts to secure tickets to "The Talk" for a benefit event.
