Henson, Virginia Fowler This documentary chronicles the life and legacy of Nikki Giovanni, the African American poet and activist whose writing and commentary earned her a reputation as one of the most distinguished poets of the Black Revolution.

Where to watch: Available to stream on Apple TV Plus Genre: Western crime drama Run time: 2h 38m Director: Martin Scorsese Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Robert De Niro Martin Scorsese returns with a Western crime drama based on David Grann’s 2017 nonfiction book.

Set in 1920s Oklahoma, the film follows the life of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), a gullible World War I veteran complicit in the systematic killing of Osage Nation members in a plot to claim the rights to their oil rich land, all while married to his Osage wife, Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone).

From our review : Roth and Scorsese carefully seed Killers of the Flower Moon ’s script with context, texture, and detail, even when they’re avoiding exposition and making sure every scene has a dramatic point. It’s an incredibly lived in movie. (And after 206 minutes, you certainly feel like you’ve lived in it.) It shows how the Osage became rich after being harried onto a dismal stretch of prairie that turned out to have huge oil deposits, and how a parasitic white society attached itself to the tribe — not least Hale (Robert De Niro), a grandfatherly figure who claimed their friendship, praised their wisdom, and feigned sorrow at their poor health, even as he plotted to acquire the headrights to their oil through a campaign of marriage, murder, and insurance fraud.

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu Genre: Epic historical drama Run time: 2h 38m Director: Ridley Scott Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Vanessa Kirby, Tahar Rahim Joaquin Phoenix stars in Ridley Scott’s historical epic on Napoleon Bonaparte, the infamous French emperor and military commander who rose to prominence amid the French Revolution and embarked on a globe spanning conquest of power.

A four hour director’s cut is expected to arrive on Apple TV Plus sometime this year, but for now, you can buy, rent, and stream the two and a half hour cut. From our review : The result is a frustrated yet understated picture of a man who has an entire historical era named after him, brought down to Earth as perhaps Europe’s most accomplished cuck.

Scott, Phoenix, and Scarpa do not demonstrate much interest in how Napoleon’s delusions or flaws justified or made him suited for his seizure of the world’s stage. Instead, they devote the film’s 158 minute run time to depicting how a man’s unchecked insecurity left him forever unsatisfied, dragging the whole world along with him in his malcontent.

They don’t bother to mention much about Napoleon’s effect on his country or the world, or identify his policy interests, the ways in which he brought progress or became a tyrant. Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu Genre: Documentary Run time: 1h 58m Director: Nicole Newnham This documentary charts the career and influence of Shere Hite, the American sex educator and feminist whose 1976 study on female sexuality sent shockwaves throughout public and social discourse.

Executive produced by Dakota Johnson, the film chronicles both Hite’s rise to prominence and explores the question of how her influence has been lost to history. Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon, Apple, and Vudu Genre: Crime drama Run time: 1h 35m Director: Jeffrey Darling Cast: Zachary Quinto, Jacob Elordi, Patrick J.

Adams Jacob Elordi ( Saltburn ) and Zachary Quinto ( Star Trek ) star in this crime thriller about Bobby Falls, a serial killer who hitches a ride with Jim Goodwin, an animal trainer in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The trailer hints at the film’s ultimate conclusion, as well as a tense series of events including murder, robbery, and fine dinner food..
