The Order
In 1983, a series of increasingly violent bank robberies, counterfeiting
operations and armored car heists frightened communities throughout the Pacific
Northwest. As baffled law enforcement
agents scrambled for answers, a lone FBI agent (Jude Law),
stationed in the sleepy, picturesque town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, came to
believe the crimes were not the work of traditional, financially motivated
criminals but a group of dangerous domestic terrorists, inspired by a radical,
charismatic leader (Nicholas Hoult), plotting a devastating war
against the federal government of the United States.

Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary (Max)
Chronicles the emergence and popularity of the West
Coast, soft rock pop culture epitomized by musical
artists such as Christopher Cross,
Michael
McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Steely
Dan, and Toto. Retroactively dubbed
Yacht Rock in 2005 by a parody website
series, the easy listening, relaxing sounds of the late
1970s and early 1980s, which were beloved by many, came
to be gently mocked and even dismissed by rock lovers
and critics, but have since reclaimed their legitimate
place in music history and are celebrated in this
groove-infused film.

Selling Superman (Amazon, Apple)
A 4 part documentary, Selling Superman follows a 40 year
family secret that only a few people knew about.
Darren's father had a hidden Asperger's disorder that
drove an obsessive yet genius collecting of comic books,
causing great trauma, overtaking a home and destroying a
family. Now after his father's passing, Darren is left
with a holy grail collection of over 300,000 comic
books. This includes his father's most prized
possession: a Superman #1 (7.0) valued at over $3.5
Million, making it one of the most expensive comic books
of all time. He faces off with the adventure of Selling
Superman (and the whole collection), with his comic
fanatic long time friend Brian by his side. But Darren
is still picking up the pieces of his childhood, trying
to rewrite a family legacy, and hopefully discover the
heroic power within: that we can choose how we perceive
life and value ourselves.
