What's new this week (March 21-27) Here are this week's highlights.
Wednesday
Fists of Freedom: The Story of the '68 Summer Games (1999)-- Documentary. Features interviews with athletes, including John Carlos, Tommie Smith and George Foreman. Also includes archival footage of the 1968 Summer Olympic Games and the fallout after the raised fisted gloves by Carlos and Smith.
Thursday
King Richard (2021) -- Sports drama starring Will Smith. A look at how tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams became who they are after coaching from their father Richard Williams.
As a frequent watcher of pop culture documentaries, I was surprised I missed Beanie Mania, an 80-minute examination of the toys' heyday. If you, too, missed this plushie-fest when it premiered at the end of last year, here's your invitation to get in on the mania. The Beanie Babies movement, "perhaps the biggest toy craze in history," as one reporter puts it in the doc, can be traced back to a group of Chicago moms who started collecting the stuffed animals. The documentary also spotlights the woman who thought up adding poems to Ty tags. Want more juicy '90s toy tidbits? Put this doc on display.
Comedy
The French Dispatch (2021)
Searchlight Pictures
Settle in for another eccentric, fantastic-looking feature from director Wes Anderson. The auteur behind "Moonrise Kingdom" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" sets his sights on an alluring new story -- or rather, three. The French Dispatch, dubbed a "love letter to journalists," takes viewers through a triad of separate tales, straight from the pages of a fictional magazine. If you missed this highly original installment when it hit theaters last October, now's the time to get in on its captivating story.
This one's a bit of a novelty inclusion. See what Robert Zemeckis (director of Back to the Future) and Anne Hathaway did with their retelling of the Roald Dahl classic. Jahzir Kadeem Bruno is Hero Boy, a young boy who is turned into a mouse by Hathaway's occasionally CGI'd Grand High Witch. No one's saying it comes close to the 1990 Anjelica Huston original, but it's intriguing enough to take a little look at.
