FLAWLESS ★★★

(Comcast Movie Collections: Drama) A down-and-dirty winner, this updated throwback to gritty NYC crime melodramas rides the high-voltage duet of Robert De Niro’s bank guard and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s tough and street-smart drag queen. They live in the same seedy residential hotel, and form an unlikely bond when De Niro turns to Hoffman for voice lessons as part of his therapy in recovering from a stroke. (R; runs through Dec. 31)

NINE MONTHS ★★★

(Comcast Movie Collections: Romance) Slick commercial comedy with funny, punched-up performances by Robin Williams, Tom Arnold, Joan Cusack, and Jeff Goldblum. The supporting cast carries an otherwise slender plot line about a yuppie (Hugh Grant) who freaks out when his live-in companion of eight years (Julianne Moore) tells him she’s pregnant. (PG-13; runs through Dec. 31, 2013)

FOREVER YOUNG ★★

(Comcast Movie Collections: Drama) As a test pilot emerging in 1992 after being frozen in 1939, Mel Gibson and his colleagues — Jamie Lee Curtis, Elijah Woods — spend a lot of time charming us past forced writing and unremarkable direction. Although it’s very easy to take, the film is all too obviously a big, sleek, synthetic tear-jerking machine, devoid of real romantic impulse, and while Gibson’s muted romantic hero keeps the film from self-destructing on histrionic excess, it also makes the whole thing seem curiously flat, despite its nominal upheavals. (PG; runs through 2017)
