For more than a decade I spent a large part of my October and November compiling gift guides for my former employer. It was a tremendous amount of work, but I enjoyed it.
Last week I found myself celebrating Thanksgiving on my own in a hotel room in San Fransico. To help pass some time, I started in on a gift guide primarily dedicated to 4K and Blu-ray releases that I expended with some music and a Wicked: For Good gifting ideas thrown in at the end. It’s not nearly as comprehensive as what I’ve done in the past, but hopefully it helps with gifting options as we move deeper into the holiday season.

An avowed alcoholic, Ben (Nicolas Cage, Dream Scenario, Longlegs) drank away his family, friends and, finally, his job. With deliberate resolve, he burns the remnants of his life and heads for Las Vegas to end it all in one final binge. On the strip, Ben picks up a street-smart hooker named Sera (Elisabeth Shue, Hollow Man, The Boys) in what might have been another excess in his self-destructive jag. Instead, their chance meeting becomes a respite on the road to oblivion as something connects between these two disenfranchised souls.
Nightmare Alley [4K Ultra HD +Blu-ray]
Noir fatalism has rarely been so alluring as in this vision of the world as a soul-sick carnival of corruption. Putting his own luxuriantly stylized spin on the classic hard-boiled novel by William Lindsay Gresham, master fabulist Guillermo del Toro conjures a sordid, seductive portrait of America on the cusp of World War II. The film follows Stan Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), a roustabout in a traveling sideshow who uses charm and deception to become a phony mentalist preying on the rich and powerful—but at what cost? Brought to life by an all-star cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, and Rooney Mara, and nominated for four Oscars (including Best Picture), Nightmare Alley is a haunting descent into the illusory abyss of the American dream.
Includes two versions of the film: Nightmare Alley: Vision in Darkness and Light, a new 159-minute, black-and-white extended director’s cut, supervised by director Guillermo del Toro, and the theatrical version of the film.
Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould [4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray]
A rare film biography as boldly unconventional as its subject, writer-director François Girard’s visionary portrait of iconoclastic, world-renowned pianist Glenn Gould explodes the conventions of the form to illuminate the brilliant mind and innermost obsessions of a singular artist. Across thirty-two vignettes encompassing everything from dramatic sketches to documentary interviews to avant-garde animation, Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould pieces together the story of Gould’s trajectory from child prodigy to celebrated concert pianist who turned his back on public performance to pursue his all-consuming fascination with recording technology. Led by a tour-de-force performance by Colm Feore and underscored by Gould’s landmark recordings of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Girard’s film daringly deconstructs the enigma of genius.
