What’s Available NOW On
“Movie: Dream Horse”
“Movie: Come Away”
From Great Britain comes this 2020
comedy-drama, a fictionalized version
of Louise Osmond’s 2015 documentary
“Dark Horse,” about poor Welsh villagers
who pool their money to bankroll a race
horse bred by a local bartender (Toni
Collette). Damian Lewis, Owen Teale,
Joanna Page and Karl Johnson are also
in the cast for director Euros Lyn (“The
Library Suicides”).
An origin story of Peter Pan and Alice
from “Alice in Wonderland,” this 2020
fantasy makes them siblings who venture
to London to sell a treasured heirloom.
But on the way home, Alice (Gugu
Mbatha-Raw) seeks refuge in a wondrous
rabbit hole while Peter (Jordan A. Nash)
enters a magical realm as leader of the Lost
Boys. Angelina Jolie, Michael Caine, David
Oyelowo and Anna Chancellor also star.

Checking in with
DAVID BOREANAZ
“Movie: Maybe Next Year”
“Movie: For Madmen Only”
The Philadelphia Eagles’ improbable run
to Super Bowl LII and the championship
of the 2017 season is told from the
perspective of the team’s passionate and
die-hard fans in this entertaining and
surprisingly moving 2019 documentary
from filmmakers (and Philly natives)
Kyle Thrash (“Off Campus”) and Jenifer
Westphal (“Where’s My Roy Cohn?”).
Director Heather Ross’ (“Girls on the
Wall”) 2021 documentary looks back
at the life and career of Del Close, an
influential 20th century improv comic,
actor and coach who nurtured the talents
of current-day performers such as Tim
Meadows, Ike Barinholtz, Bob Odenkirk
and Adam McKay, all of whom appear
here.
With “SEAL Team” about to make a big move, David
Boreanaz is excited about the prospects that lie ahead for the
show.
The adventure-drama series recently started its fifth season
Sundays on CBS, but after its Oct. 31 airing, it will become
exclusive to Paramount+ beginning with the following episode
debuting there the next day. Star, executive producer and
sometimes director Boreanaz says he’s looking forward to adding
streaming-appropriate layers to his elite-military-team-leader
character, Jason Hayes.
“He’s gone through some relationships and just tries to
navigate that in his life, along with the demands of his job,”
the performer reasons. “He realizes that’s not so easy, and we
see how that unfolds in the first few episodes of this season. It’s
daunting for him.”
While Boreanaz hopes “SEAL Team” retains the fan base that
has gotten it to a fifth year, he understands viewers’ possible
hesitancy about having to subscribe to continue to watch it.
“I highly respect that some people don’t want to sign up for
something, but I will say that for our show, it will be an exciting
run there in regard to the storytelling and how much deeper we
can go into the characters.”
Though a streaming platform will loosen the restrictions
that have been on “SEAL Team” in its broadcast-network life,
Boreanaz notes, “You have a responsibility to show what these
men and women go through. We’re being a little more honest
and truthful with what they face when they come home, and
how they deal with things like mental illness and PTSD. There’s
a balancing act, but I feel we’re being given more to really justify
these characters.”
