Movies in the Stream

This year's reviews present an exciting batch of movies. We have included again this season many streaming TV series that caught our fancy, and a choice number of special TV movies or documentaries. The original goal of this movie review series was to enumerate the movies (shorts, series, specials) that came across Roku, Instant Amazon Video, or Netflix. Sometimes one new movie led us to reconsider an old one, and those lost gems continue to pepper the lists. It's nice to see something missed in the past. Sometimes updated viewing leads to deeper regret and a keener reassessment.
