Rating: R Stars: Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Sarita Choudhury, Joel Edgerton, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Ralph Ineson, Barry Keoghan Writer: David Lowery, based on the poem Director: David Lowery Distributor: A24 Release Date: July 30, 2021 THE GREEN KNIGHT may put fantasy film buffs in mind of John Boorman’s EXCALIBUR or even Neil Jordan’s THE COMPANY OF WOLVES. Adapted from Arthurian mythology by writer/director David Lowery, THE GREEN KNIGHT is beautiful and mysterious – and more than a little trippy. Let’s stipulate up front that the plot doesn’t fully make sense. The source material, an anonymously-written medieval poem, translated into […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Katrina Bowden, Aaron Jakubenko, Kimie Tsukakoshi, Tim Kano, Te Kohe Tuhaka Writer: Michael Boughen Director: Martin Wilson Distributor: RLJE Films Release Date: July 16, 2021 GREAT WHITE is set off the coast of Australia, which is known to be a gathering spot for the titular sharks. It’s certainly a place with lovely forests and beaches, as well as gorgeous seascapes. At the start, we see a small boat moored within swimming distance of the shore. Gentle reggae music is playing. The deck has bathing suits drying on the clothesline, empty bottles and, uh-oh, a fraying rope. […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Sam Richardson, Milana Vayntrub, Harvey Guillėn, Cheyenne Jackson, Michaela Watkins, Michael Chernus, Catherine Curtin, George Basil, Sarah Burns, Wayne Duvall, Rebecca Henderson, Glenn Fleshler Writer: Mishna Wolff, based on the Ubisoft videogame Director: Josh Ruben Distributor: IFC Films Release Date: June 25, 2021 WEREWOLVES WITHIN starts off promisingly, by making a Mr. Rogers quote seem scary. It at first seems like director Josh Ruben and writer Mishna Wolff, in a very loose adaptation of the Ubisoft videogame of the title, are aiming for a HOWLING/LOST BOYS-type groove, with some CLUE in the foundation. After a prologue in […]Read On »

At a guess, THE EVIL NEXT DOOR may bear the same relation to reality as THE AMITYVILLE HORROR. In any event, we’re in Sweden (with subtitles for those of […]Read On »
