"Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter" is a slow burning film about the power of obsession and isolation. Rinko Kikuchi gives a devastating performance as the titular treasure hunter, a woman isolated from and broken by society's demanding expectations of her and her need to find the loot from "Fargo". Her journey from the sterile metropolis of Japan to the frozen tundras of Minnesota is heartfelt filmmaking at its finest. The Blu-ray's picture and audio quality is great and bonus features range from deleted scenes to an immensely informative audio commentary.

Pedro Almodóvar is a director who seems tailor made for the Criterion Collection. Strange it took his infamously sweet Stockholm Syndrome-esque romp "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" for that to finally happen, but better late than never. A sweetly strange love story featuring great performances and some unforgettable moments (for different reasons), "Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" is beautifully restored by the good people at Criterion and given, as all movies should get, a great collection of extras that give you some deep insight into the filmmaking process and the joy and pain that comes from it.

Many singers have come to challenge Madonna for her title as the "Queen of Pop." And still, with her successors and imitators, Madonna remains on top. Not so much a reinvention as it is a new chapter, "Rebel Heart" is Madonna adopting some sounds of the times while reminding us why we've been swayed since the 1980s. When she sings she's an "Unapologetic B * * * h", you better believe she is because that's the power of an immortal persona in music. Make sure to get the deluxe edition for the total experience.

Bob Dylan is truly a chameleon of modern music. Each decade provides a slew of music that differs from the previous while contributing to his oeuvre of mad genius. "Shadows in the Night" is no different, providing some great songs with real heart behind them in terms of the music and Dylan's lyrics. The way he's going, I can't wait to hear what he has on his brain for next time.

"Dear White People" is a film that hits a chord and with good reason. Given the news one hears in the news about racial inequality, it seemed almost serendipitous for "Dear White People" to shine a light on it in the most controversial place possible: a prestigious and (no pun intended) "white bread" university. The jokes and heart hit fast and hard while asking its audience to think long and hard about where race relations have gone and where they need to go. Tessa Thompson is an actress who will definitely go far.

One of the best thrillers of the 1970s finally gets the (well deserved) Criterion treatment. "Don't Look Now" is one of those films that you're never truly sure what's going on and where it will go next, but that's part of what makes it so effective. Like an unfolding nightmare that refuses to loosen its grip, "Don't Look Now" culminates in an ending that truly has to be experienced to be believed (and even then, you're still unsure how to react). The transfer and sound restoration on Criterion's disc is a perfect home video representation of the original 70s theatrical presentation and the bonus features, as expected of Criterion, give a very deep insight into Nicolas Roeg's directorial mindset and how the various elements came together perfectly. Highly recommended as an addition to your collection.
