recently released films

[lumpycustard]

Please excuse my stupidity and lack of understanding but it seems like adding a "recently released" section on the home screen wouldn't be too painful considering the release date of a movie is already visible in it's metadata.

If you edit a movie's metadata, there's a "Release Date" section which shows the theatrical release date -- why is it not possible to create a home screen section which uses this information?

Or is this one of those "if you want it, go submit a pull request on git" type of thing?
