Fifty Shades Darker

Release Date: Tuesday, May 9, 2017

From our Review: At the start of Fifty Shades Darker, the sequel to 2015's Fifty Shades of Grey, we find our heroine, Anastasia Steele, (Dakota Johnson), working as an assistant at a publishing company for the seemingly great Jack (Eric Johnson). Well, to Anastasia he's seemingly great, everyone in the audience will know that there's a villain lurking underneath that nice exterior. There has to be – Jack's last name is Hyde (as in Dr. Jekyll and Mr.) and Fifty Shades Darker is not a subtle movie.

Orange is the New Black: Season Four

Release Date: Tuesday, May 9, 2017

  • See it on Amazon for $19.99 (Blu-ray)

From our Review: One year after it was ruled ineligible to compete as a comedy by the Emmys, Orange is the New Black returns to Netflix with its most effectively wrenching and dramatic season to date, laced with poignant social commentary that's deftly woven into the story. Naturally, there are still plenty of moments of levity, but you'll find the bottom quickly drops out in Season 4 more than ever before. Things that start as amusing tales quickly turn sour and sad and once again the series excels at utilizing its (ever-growing) ensemble of players.
