First, it’s one of the most important and controversial documentaries in recent years. CITIZENFOUR (@ BLU) chronicles the leaks about government spying by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and the attempts by reporters Glenn Greenwald and (this film’s director) Laura Poitras to get that information to the public. When you buy this DVD, Big Brother will probably know it.

Then, the heroes at The Criterion Collection have brought yet another heartbreaking work from Belgian filmmakers the Dardenne Brothers. TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT (@ BLU) follows a woman (Marion Cotillard) as she must confront her co-workers and beg them to allow her to keep her job.

For horror fans, this week has a new double feature from Scream Factory, METAMORPHOSIS with BEYOND DARKNESS (@ BLU). Barbara Steele is back from the dead for revenge in NIGHTMARE CASTLE (@ BLU). And Roger Vadim, Federico Fellini, and Louis Malle each adapt a Poe story for anthology film SPIRITS OF THE DEAD (@ BLU). Air Force One crashes and bad guys hunt President Samuel L.
