Take Two: New on HBO-“The Kitchen” (R)

Since our local cinemas are temporarily closed, this week's episode focuses on a movie new to HBO. "The Kitchen" is a drama set in the 1970s about three women who take over mob in New York's Hell's Kitchen when their husbands wind up in jail. It has been adapted from the DC/Vertigo comic book series. It stars Melissa McCarthy ("Spy"), Elizabeth Moss ("The Invisible Man") and Tiffany Haddish ("Girls' Trip").

Freeze Frame • April 3, 10:58am – 11:00am

Freeze Frame, Home Streaming Movies: “Coffee & Kareem” (Not rated), “Uncorked” (Not rated), “Disneynature: Elephant” (Not rated), “Disneynature: Dolphin Reef” (Not rated)

As our local cinemas are still temporarily closed, this week’s Freeze Frame will concentrate on new movies that can be streamed at home.

The raunchy Netflix original comedy “Coffee & Kareem” is shamefully wrong-headed and beneath the talent and dignity of its able cast. Ed Helms plays Officer James Coffee, a bungling Detroit cop who’s dating a nurse, played by Taraji P. Henson. The merry mix-ups occur when Officer Coffee tries to impress her son Kareem, played by the precociously foul-mouthed 12-year-old Terrence Little Gardenhigh. When on a spin in the patrol car, the duo witnesses a gangland murder. Young Gardenhigh shows promise, but the obscene dialogue he’s asked to do deliver is contemptable. Here’s hoping that “Coffee & Kareem” is the worst film of the year.

The touching Netflix original “Uncorked” is an uplifting and involving comic drama. Mamoudou Athie plays Elijah, a young man who is introduced to the world of wine when he takes a job at a local liquor store. Things get complicated when decides to leave his family’s barbecue restaurant to become a sommelier. Courtney B. Vance plays his disapproving dad and Niecy Nash is his supportive mom. “Uncorked” is heartfelt, realistic and offers characters you can actually care about.

“Disneynature: Elephant” is a visually dynamic new documentary on Disney+. It follows a small herd of African pachyderms as they travel on their annual trek across the Kalahari Desert in search of precious water. It’s family-friendly and features diverting narration by Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.

“Disneynature: Dolphin Reef” is yet another visually engaging family-friendly Disney+ documentary. The focus is on a juvenile bottle-nosed dolphin named Echo and his clan that live near a coral reef somewhere in the Pacific. Natalie Portman’s narration is geared to the kiddies, but it manages to stay afloat for adults.
