New January releases from Universal Pictures
New year, new releases! Start off 2022 right with Universal Pictures’ newest releases this January 19th.
Enjoy and follow the career of the legendary Queen of Soul: Aretha Franklin (played by Jennifer Hudson) in the musical biopic Respect. You could also go for a whole other route and shudder to Candyman; a horror by Oscar winner Jordan Peele and filmmaker Nia DaCosta. Or, why go for just one movie when you can binge-watch a whole season of Law and Order S.V.U. now that Christopher Meloni – finally, after 10 years – returns as Detective Elliot Stabler in season 22.
Respect – DVD & Blu-ray
Follow Aretha Franklin’s (Jennifer Hudson) career from her days of singing in a choir at her father’s church as a child to the very moment where she became an international superstar. Respect is the extraordinary true story of this music icon.
Candyman – DVD & Blu-ray
Oscar-winner Jordan Peele and filmmaker Nia DaCosta give the blood-curdling legend: Candyman a fresh new look. For decades, the residents of a deprived Chicago neighborhood have been terrorized by a ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand. Ten years later, an artist (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) begins to explore Candyman’s macabre history, unaware that it will drive him insane and unleash a terrifying wave of violence.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit – DVD
Law & Order: S.V.U., produced by Dick Wolf, is the longest-running primetime live-action series of all time at 22 seasons. Capt. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), commander of the SVU, is a seasoned unit veteran who has seen it all. She leads with empathy and professionalism, while simultaneously dealing with her own difficult past as a rape victim and her responsibility as an advocate for other survivors. Both heavily influence the way she interacts with the victims and perpetrators of each case she deals with.
