September 2017: what’s new on DVD and streaming
“The Glass Castle”
Familial dysfunction hits its peak in “The Glass Castle,” a sprawling tale of growing up poverty-stricken in the rural West Virginia mountains.
“A Ghost Story”

“The Hitman’s Bodyguard”
Who isn’t entertained by Samuel L. Jackson loudly spouting off his dialogue with all manner of creative “motherf%$&ers” peppered throughout?
“The Battleship Island”
“The Battleship Island” reminds me of the Korean version of Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds.”
