To celebrate the release of the Tom Hanks western News of the World on PVOD, That Shelf is giving away a digital download code to one lucky reader.
News of the World gives Tom Hanks another late-career role worthy of his prodigious talents.
Tom Hanks reunites with director Paul Greengrass in News of the World.
We FINALLY start digging ourselves out of the backlog of DVDs and Blu-Rays we received over the past month with the first of two special home entertainment columns this week. Today we look at the hilarious Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, the intense Captain Phillips, the Adam Scott comedy A.C.O.D., Kuosawa's classic Throne of Blood on Criterion, and Dylan McDermott trapped in a Freezer.
Paul Greengrass’ based on a true story piracy drama Captain Phillips plays out like a riveting series of procedures and planning that gives way to negotiation and bargaining and then finally to pleading and panic. It's incredibly nuanced and emotional, anchored by one of Tom Hanks' best performances.
