Here are this week's hottest home video releases. Find them on disc, or streaming services such as iTunes, Vudu, Amazon and Google Play.
FANTASY ISLAND
Lucy Hale, Michael Pena, Maggie Q and Jimmy O. Yang star in a horror remake of the 1977-1984 TV series. This sinister take on the material is refreshing at first, but devolves into a series of increasingly ludicrous twists that wear out the premise. Strangers gather at a seemingly magical locale that grants their deepest wishes, albeit with sinister twists. The film is out on digital platforms.
THE GENTLEMEN
Director Guy Ritchie slips back into early-career form in this crime comedy, featuring Matthew McConaughey as a suave American drug lord who wreaks havoc in London. Silkly dialogue, brash cinematography and a twist-filled script make the film a treat. For my full review, click here. Extras include cast interviews, a reel of the best quotes and a photo gallery.
LIKE A BOSS
The idea of pairing Tiffany Haddish and Rose Byrne in a girl-power comedy had promise, but a weak script torpedoed any chance the film had at laughs. Haddish and Byrne play best friends and business partners who take on a cruel beauty industry mogul (Salma Hayek) in a zero-sum game in which the audience loses more than anyone.
