This week’s on-demand picks

1. Double Take
Dir. Johan Grimonprez. 2009. N/R. 80mins. Documentary.
Unopened in Chicago, this provocative found-footage essay on Cold War paranoia casts Alfred Hitchcock as a tour guide. Available to stream at Fandor.com.
2. Splice
Dir. Vincenzo Natali. 2010. R. 104mins. Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, Delphine Chanéac, Abigail Chu.
Married scientists (Polley and Brody) muck around with DNA in a horror film clearly familiar with the genetic structure of David Cronenberg’s movies. Available through Fancast.com to Cinemax subscribers.
3. Hall Pass
Dirs. Peter and Bobby Farrelly. 2011. R. 98mins. Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Jason Sudeikis, Christina Applegate, Richard Jenkins, Nicky Whelan.
The Farrellys continue their unfashionable interest in dick-gag morality plays. It’s probably not their funniest comedy, but it may be their sweetest. Available widely on demand Tue 14.
