The Russell County Public Library has gotten many new movies in this past month. We purchase both DVDs and Blu-rays in a variety of different genres. A staff favorite has been Unhinged with Russell Crowe. This is a drama that will teach a lesson in patience and courtesy toward others, as you never know what the other person is suffering through and may become “unhinged.” Warning: there is graphic violence in this one.
My personal favorite is Wonder Woman 1984. I’ve always been a big fan of female heroines and Gal Gadot plays it well. I like this second movie as well as the first, partly due to being a fan of Kristen Wiig, who does an excellent job in this dramatic role.
I’ve been anxiously awaiting our newest arrival, Soul, which has won many awards, including an Oscar and Golden Globe for best animated feature film.
Some other movies we’ve gotten are News of the World with Tom Hanks and Disney’s Lady and the Tramp and Dumbo. We’ve gotten beloved, older movies like Batteries Not Included, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and The Greatest Show on Earth. And we have gotten series such as The Walking Dead and The Blacklist.
All adult cardholders are welcome to check out three movies at a time, and there is no fee as long as they are returned on time. We also take requests, but may not be able to fulfill all. Just remember shipments of material have been moving slowly this past year, so we appreciate your patience.
