Rating: PG-13 Stars: Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Hannah Waddingham, Teresa Palmer, Stephanie Hsu, Winston Duke, Ben Knight Writer: Drew Pearce, based on the TV series created by Glen A. Larson Director: David Leitch Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: May 3, 2024 THE FALL GUY director David Leitch has been helming action movies for a while now. But before he was a director, he was a stuntman and a stunt coordinator. It’s clearly Leitch’s great pleasure in THE FALL GUY to show us how that side of filmmaking operates. In fact, despite its thriller trappings, THE FALL GUY is […]Read On »

One is the pre-wedding interactions of a bride-to-be and her besties prior to the big day. The other is the big threat of the open ocean, including sharks. We begin with British couple Meg (Hiftu Quasem) and Kayla (Natalie Mitson), who are happy together until they are assaulted in a […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ian Foreman, Helena Howard, Lindsey Jordan, Danielle Deadwyler, Fred Durst Writer: Jane Schoenbrun Director: Jane Schoenbrun Distributor: A24 Release Date: May 3, 2024 I SAW THE TV GLOW is dreamy and quasi-surreal. It opens with a shot of a dark street, where half the asphalt is covered in blue, pink and purple blacklight markings, and half is just black. The symbolism sets the stage for what is to come. Writer/director Jane Schoenbrun’s stated topics here include identity and television fandom – not “let’s go to Comic-Con and celebrate our favorite shows, plural” fandom, […]Read On »

What we may not necessarily know from the trailers and the artwork is that ABIGAIL is very good bloody fun, with filmmakers who seem to achieve everything they’re attempting […]Read On »

CIVIL WAR movie poster | ©2024 A24

Rating: R Stars: Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Maura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Nelson Lee, Evan Lai, Nick Offerman, Jesse Plemons Writer: Alex Garland Director: Alex Garland Distributor: A24 Release Date: April 12, 2024 Writer/director Alex Garland’s CIVIL WAR depicts a second intra-state conflict within the U.S., but it comes at present-day politics from an oblique angle. Take away the familiar scenery and a couple of musings by the characters, and this tale of combat photojournalists could be set pretty much anywhere that heavily armed people are fighting with one another. At the White House, the U.S. President (Nick Offerman) is […]Read On »
