New Acquisitions - January 2016

Rub your weary eyes and put on non-sweatpants; DC has functionally recovered from the weekend's massive snowstorm, and we're back to work. Our first order of business is pushing out the next wave of new DVDs from this month.

Big names from this month include the Melissa McCarthy comedy Spy, Marvel's Ant-Man, and Sundance hit Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, but we want to talk about the stranger documentaries. We haven't seen Mondo Hollywood, but the documentary's description brags about being condemned by both capitalists and communists. And anyone who was raised on pop culture will appreciate The Wolfpack, the true story of seven children forbidden from leaving their apartment and learned about the world almost entirely through film.

(We are also now the only library on the continent with a copy of the French film Afrique 50!)

Hit the break for a full list of this month's titles...
