The List: Latest DVDs, CDs, books, April 2
A look at some of the DVDs, CDs and books hitting stores this week:
DVDs
“Hemingway & Gellhorn” (not rated): The love affair and marriage of Ernest Hemingway (Clive Owen) and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn (Nicole Kidman) is chronicled in this HBO original movie that was nominated for 15 Emmys.
Topping today’s TV transfers: “The Bible: The Epic Miniseries,” “Route 66: Season Four” and seasons two through four of “Highway Patrol.”
CDs
Tyler, The Creator, “Wolf”: So what exactly does Tyler create?
Controversy, mostly.
The Odd Future MC raps of stabbing Bruno Mars, ingesting truckloads of drugs and occasionally dancing around in women’s underwear.
Ultimately, though, he’s more mischievous than menacing, a class clown in the guise of a “Wolf.”
