SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — This week's releases are on the thin side. There's some quality to be found if you know where to look.

Digital

  • The Broken Hearts Gallery - Geraldine Viswanathan andDacre Montgomery star in this romantic drama about a young art gallery assistant who has surrounded herself with souvenir from all her (failed) relationships. Her most recent breakup inspires her to create an arts instillation made from all the items that bind her to the past. (Full Review)
  • Jungleland -Charlie Hunnam and Jack O’Connell star in this drama about a pair of brothers struggling to make a name (and a living) in theworld of bare-knuckle boxing.
  • Sleepless Beauty- A Polish (dubbed in English) horror/thriller that sees a young woman abducted and placed in a nondescript factory storeroom. There she is dehumanized by masked men who stream their vicious psychological experiment live for those willing to pay. It gets overly complicated for a 90-minute film.

New to Blu-ray and DVD

  • Bill & Ted Face the Music -Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter return as middle-aged versions of their classic Bill and Ted characters. It's a most-excellent sequel that gleefully celebrates the best aspects of the original films without relying entirely on nostalgia. Loved it. (Full Review)
