With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
The Big Sick (Michael Showalter)
From start to finish, The Big Sick, directed by Michael Showalter, works as a lovingly-rendered, cinematic answer to the dinner party question: “So how did you two meet?” Based on comedian Kumail Nanjiani‘s real life (he co-wrote the screenplay with his wife Emily V. Gordon), we meet Kumail (Nanjiani) as he finishes a stand-up set in Chicago. He becomes fast friends with a...

French director Mia Hansen-Love is seeing more and more opportunities come to her. The filmmaker’s last film, the critically acclaimed “Things To Come,” starred Isabelle Huppert in a superb performance, and it’s opened even more doors for the respected filmmaker. While her next project will still be the hostage drama “Maya,” starring Romain Kolinka as a reporter who heads to India after being held hostage in Syria, she’s already looking ahead to its follow-up, the relationship drama, “Bergman Island.”
Screen Daily report that Greta Gerwig (who had a small role in Hansen-Love’s “Eden”), Mia Wasikowska and John Turturro have joined the cast.

Mia Hansen-Løve’s English-language debut, “Bergman Island,” has just added some very compelling inhabitants. ScreenDaily reports that Greta Gerwig, Mia Wasikowska and John Turturro have all signed on for one of the busy French filmmaker’s next features, set on the Swedish island of Faro.
As the outlet details, “The picture revolves around an American filmmaking couple who retreat to the island for the summer to each write screenplays for their upcoming films in an act of pilgrimage to the place that inspired Bergman. As the summer and their screenplays advance, the lines between reality and fiction start to blur against the backdrop of the Island’s wild landscape.”
There is no word yet on who will be playing each character in the feature.

Hansen-Løve also has another project in the works, one that’s garnered attention for supposedly being based on her relationship with husband Olivier Assayas, whose “Personal Shopper” premiered at Cannes and will likewise be at Tiff. That project now has a title: “Bergman Island,” so named because she was apparently inspired to write it while visiting the Swedish island from which Ingmar Bergman hailed.

Today brings some clarification on a recently announced new project from Mia Hansen-Løve, whose excellent new drama Things to Come will arrive in December. Speaking to The Guardian about not making a film directly about herself, but “transpositions” of people she knows, the strength of realizing that filmmaking is what she wanted to do, and more, she also touched on the aforementioned project about a “filmmaking couple.”
She reveals she recently returned from a trip to Ingmar Bergman’s old stomping ground, the island of Faro, where she was getting inspiration when it came to writing the project. Titled Bergman Island, it follows the professional and personal relationship between a film-making couple, but it’s “not really about” her relationship with Olivier Assayas.
“There are a lot of films where you feel like there is no subconscious in them because they are so self-conscious in a way that it blocks the access to the unconscious,...

It’s the time again, my friends. When I go through Hulu’s Criterion page and give you what’s new, what’s exciting and what might be a hint at a future release within the collection. There’s even a ton of new supplemental material from various films that are worth getting into. If you like this series of article, please sign up for your own Hulu Plus account. Every little bit counts and is much appreciated.
Let’s just get right to it then. Remember, all the links will be included with each listing. We make it as easy as possible for all of you. First up is a film that isn’t in the collection but I can easily see it being welcomed with open arms.
La Cérémonie (1995), a Claude Chabrol film, is about Catherine (Jacqueline Bisset) who hires a new maid by the name of Sophie (Sandrine Bonnaire), an illiterate woman.

Do The Right Thing: 20th Anniversary Edition (Universal) Spike Lee’s groundbreaking fable about race relations in an ethnically mixed Brooklyn neighborhood during a sweltering New York summer remains as potent, timely and prescient as it was in 1989. Lee is among the cast, which also includes John Turturro, Danny Aiello, Samuel L. Jackson, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, and Rosie Perez (to name a few), that provide the tableaux-like framework for this stunning work. Criminally ignored by Oscar (it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture, but did garner nods for Supporting Actor Danny Aiello and Lee’s screenplay), it endures as a timeless classic. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Commentary by Lee, Ernest Dickerson, Wynn Thomas, Joie Lee; Documentary; Deleted and extended scenes; Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS 5.1 surround.

The Seventh Seal – 2-disk Restored Edition
(The Criterion Collection; 2009)
Woody Allen once said Ingmar Bergman was the greatest filmmaker since the invention of the cinema, and his favorite of the many masterpieces created by the auteur is The Seventh Seal (originally released in Sweden in 1957). While an earlier edition of the film was released on DVD by The Criterion Collection years ago, the company has seen fit to restore and re-release it in a special 2-disk set (both on Blu-Ray and DVD). In short, the results are magnificent.
The Seventh Seal is one of those classic films that has been parodied so many times it isn’t funny anymore. And when something is parodied so much that it’s become cliché, then the source material must have been pretty darned good. How many times have you seen a figure...

Chicago – What more is there to write about “The Seventh Seal”? Dozens of scholars more renowned than myself have already examined virtually every shot of the film. It has been dissected and discussed in dozens of languages and continues to be one of the most influential pieces of work in the history of its medium. The new Criterion Blu-Ray edition makes it clear why.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0 Since it won the Special Jury Prize at the 1957 Cannes Film Festival, “The Seventh Seal” has become a world-renowned masterpiece of cinematography and symbolism. Writing again about its significance in the history of film would be merely repetitive. Instead, let’s look at the remarkable edition that Criterion has released for it.

The only real major releases are the Friday the 13th remake and Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail, and... The Cell 2. Yikes.

Upon receiving Criterion's brand new special edition of Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal I had just finished watching his film trilogy (Through a Glass Darkly, Winter Light and The Silence) and there couldn't have been a more appropriate time to do so. Of the three films in Bergman's trilogy, Winter Light is not only the best, it is a perfect companion piece to The Seventh Seal. Made five years after The Seventh Seal, Winter Light also touches on the "silence of God," but where these two films differ is in their outcome. While both are asking questions, Winter Light offers far more answers than The Seventh Seal, but where Winter Light finds answers and The Seventh Seal does not is exactly where both films find their charm. Criterion initially released The Seventh Seal in 1999 with only an audio commentary by Bergman expert Peter Cowie, the theatrical trailer and what...

After posting my weekly This Week on DVD and Blu-ray article I got to thinking it had been a while since I added a new title from Criterion to the database with Kurosawa's Ran (5/12) being the most recent Blu-ray added to the release calender. Typically I get a press release announcing all the new Criterion titles once a month, but I have noticed they get added to the Criterion website a day or two in advance so I took a trip on over and lo-and-behold there was a surprise in store for me. On June 16 Criterion will be releasing a brand new 2-Disc DVD and Blu-ray edition of Ingmar Bergman's classic The Seventh Seal, a film I absolutely love and while I own it as part of my Janus collection, those discs don't come with any special features. I have seen the original Criterion Seventh Seal release, but it...

- Tucked away in the fresh air mountains of Telluride, Colorado is the 4 day film festival of gnarly indie, foreign film titles. Commencing today, this year appears to be a slim pickings in terms of anything fresh and not showing at either Toronto or Venice. Instead this year's bunch pulls from the quality titles at this past Cannes edition. Many were saying that Paul thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood would preem there - and there is always a chance especially with a Daniel Day Lewis tribute occurring. Known as the festival of blind faith (cuz you don,t know what film you'll be necessarily seeing, don't be shocked if they pull out some surprises. Here are some of the title listing for this year's edition: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 DaysThe Band's VisitA Thousand Years of Good PrayersThe CounterfeitersPersepolisWhen Did You Last See Your Father?
