This week's new DVD releases analyze love in many ways.
"Crazy Rich Asian"; It's incredibly important to recognize that "Crazy Rich Asians" is Hollywood's first major modern release since "The Joy Luck Club" in 1993 to feature a predominantly Asian cast. There has been a lot of furor in the film world about the lack of diversity in the movies and the Asian community has been one of the most despised.
There is also an argument to be made that "Crazy Rich Asians" should not be thought of as a movie full of Asian actors, but viewed as merely one of the best romantic comedies in general, appearing in years. The film could easily have been called "Sleepless in Singapore" as there was no such romantic comedy as Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan used to steal our hearts.
"The Little Mermaid"; 2.5 stars: A young reporter (William Moseley) and his younger sister (Loreto Peralta) end up in a circus where Elizabeth (Poppy Drayton) finds a beautiful mermaid trapped in a glass tank. The couple soon discovers that this is not a side trick.
The best thing that "The Little Mermaid" has to do is Drayton. There is such a captivating quality in her performance, it is easy to see why someone would fall in love with it, tail or tail. Drayton gives the character so much life that any moment of danger appears magnified. It brings enough energy, life and charm to the role that the degree to this movie sounds like a trip on the ocean. It's somewhere high up in Cs.
"Blindspotting"; 3.5 stars: Like the psychologist Edgar Rubin's test, where an image can be seen as a vase or as two faces depending on a person's perspective, Blindspotting, written and starring Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal, is a full movie of dualities take on varied points of view.
On the surface, it is a letter of accusation and love to Oakland, California, while the community undergoes a major transformation. As the film unfolds, production also examines how social change can be both a boom and a failure. The final layer of comparisons and contrasts examines how two young people can grow with the same external stimuli but end up being so different in how they are treated as black and white.
