STILL WALKING (Comcast Movies: Free Movies) In Japanese writer-director Hirokazu Koreeda’s 2008 film, a family uneasily meets for its semiannual reunion. The eloquently static camera sense of emotional restraint owes much to Yasujiro Ozu. Other than the family patriarch’s boorishness being overdone, there’s hardly a false note here - and many that ring unnervingly true. (unrated; runs through Sept. 30) MARK FEENEY

WHITE CHICKS (Encore on Comcast) Shawn and Marlon Wayans play FBI agents who impersonate two bratty blond socialites in this patchy, inept racial satire. Anybody rabid to see America’s mean girls - and the likes of the Hilton sisters - be teased for 100 minutes is likely to find this a most disappointing movie. Directed, barely, by Keenen Ivory Wayans. (R; runs through Feb. 2) WESLEY MORRIS

STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT (Max on Comcast) Lots of oomph and savvy here, assuring Trekkies that the franchise could live long and prosper with the New Generation, led by Patrick Stewart, on the job. Their mission here is to put the brakes on evil Borg zombies, led by Alice Krige’s scheming queen, who wants to go back in time to put the kibosh on the Federation. (PG-13; runs through Sept. 29)
