Summary: Four great picks this week for your viewing pleasure! We start off with a Charlie Chaplin classic (once silent, then converted to a "talkie") lovingly restored by Criterion. The Blu-ray release of "The Gold Rush" showcases Chaplin at his finest with pathos and spectacular special effects. This disc contains the 1925 silent version as well as Chaplin's preferred 1942 sound-enhanced release. We'll see which one holds up the best. Next up, two "Friends" stars shine in quirky cable-TV releases. First, Matt LeBlanc's Golden Globe winning performance in "Episodes" explores the pitfalls that occur when a hit British show is Americanized. Next, we'll check in with self-appointed therapist Fiona Wallice, as portrayed by Lisa Kudrow, in the darkly bizarre "Web Therapy." Finally, the streets are tough in "The FP" (Frazier Park), but the underground dance scene is tougher. In one of the strangest yet most earnest dark comedies we've ever seen, the rival gangs of the FP fight for dominance in the only way they know how: mastering the art of "Beat, Beat Revelation" (not to be confused with Dance, Dance Revolution which is *totally* different). All that plus the week's Honorable Mentions and more!
