Ginsburg doc

The documentary RBG chronicles Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s unusual pop culture popularity. The movie tells the story of her time in college and law school and describes her current influence. “Her famous friendship with the expansive Antonin Scalia, her legal and temperamental antithesis ... is a wonder to behold,” Monitor film critic Peter Rainer writes. “It’s nice to know that, even in the upper reaches of today’s Washington, D.C., friendship can still eclipse ideology.” “RBG” is available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Flying solo

Han Solo of the “Star Wars” series gets an origin story with Solo, starring Alden Ehrenreich. He embarks on adventures with his first love, Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke), and smuggler Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson). Monitor film critic Peter Rainer writes that Harrelson is “marvelous as always” and that “[director Ron] Howard ... and his screenwriters, Lawrence Kasdan and Jonathan Kasdan, keep things thrumming along cliffhanger-style for most of its two-plus hours.” “Solo” is available on DVD and Blu-ray.
