Crossfire Hurricane
(Eagle Rock, $15)
This 2012 Rolling Stones documentary feels like a “whirling, impressionistic painting of the band,” said the San Francisco Chronicle. Made with the Stones’ cooperation, the film ably conveys the “energy, drive, and genius” of the group as it recounts the Stones’ 50-year history.
Crimewave
(Shout! Factory, $27)
No one would call this obscure 1985 collaboration between director Sam Raimi and screenwriters Ethan and Joel Coen a “lost masterpiece,” said the A.V. Club. But their “slapstick-noir comedy” proves “fascinating for the way it merges the dueling sensibilities of its creative masterminds.”
