BY JAY BOBBIN "Bullitt" is legendary for its midpoint car chase through San Francisco, but there's also plenty else to recommend about the Peter Yates-directed 1968 police drama ... which Turner Classic Movies gives another of its frequent showings Monday, May 17. Certainly, the picture is one of the best examples of title star Steve McQueen's screen cool, as he plays a self-styled detective charged with protecting a witness for an ambitious politician. Also great is Robert Vaughn (who also shared credit with McQueen in "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Towering Inferno") as said politician, charming but cold- blooded. Another terrific chase caps the film, near and across the runways of the City by the Bay's airport – and one only can marvel at McQueen ducking under moving planes, at a time when it had to be done for real without computer-enhanced imagery. Steve McQueen is Number One with 'Bullitt' Steve McQueen in "Bullitt" "Marvel's M.O.D.O.K." This animated series for adults follows the adventures of the megalomaniacal supervillain M.O.D.O.K. (short for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing), who after years of failure in his quest for world domination finds his professional and personal lives in ruins. Patton Oswalt voices the title character, with Melissa Fumero, Ben Schwartz and Wendi McLendon-Covey also lending their vocal talents. (ORIGINAL) "Movie: The Boy From Medellin" From filmmaker Matthew Heineman ("Tiger," "Cartel Land") comes this feature length documentary that follows Columbian reggae singer J Balvin as the Latin Grammy winner prepares for the biggest concert of his career — a sold- out stadium show in his hometown of Medellin, a city beset by political unrest. (ORIGINAL) "Money Explained" Most of us have a complicated relationship with money and what we don't recognize is it's pretty common. This series brings the problems out in the open and talks about topics like exploitative credit cards and how most people won't be able to save enough for retirement. It also offers tips on how to avoid the pitfalls. (ORIGINAL) The STREAM Scene Where all the top choices can be found in one place! "Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast" (May 21) Steve Loter ("Kim Possible") co-wrote and directed this 2014 animated adventure about a fairy who makes friends with a misunderstood furry monster and tries to incorporate him into the fairy community of Pixie Hollow. The impressive voice cast includes Anjelica Huston, Ginnifer Goodwin, Lucy Liu, Megan Hilty and Pamela Adlon. Page 8 May 17 - 23, 2021
