Individuals who are serious about observing the avian species do not call what they do “birdwatching.” Instead, it is “birding,” and the people involved are “birders.” This brings us to the new series EXTRAORDINARY BIRDER WITH CHRISTIAN COOPER, which premieres its first six-episode season Saturday, June 17, on National Geographic Wild, then on Disney+ on June 21. Native New Yorker Cooper is both host and co-producer on EXTRAORDINARY BIRDER. He has been a professional science writer and editor, and also wrote for Marvel Comics.

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Ben Kingsley, Barbara Sukowa, Christopher Briney, Rupert Graves, Alexander Beyer, Andreja Pejic, Suki Waterhouse, Ezra Miller, Avital Lvova, Mark McKenna, Zachary Nachbar-Seckel Writer: John C. Walsh Director: Mary Harron Distributor: Magnolia Pictures Release Date: June 9, 2023 Most of DALILAND is set in 1974, and the film has a very ‘70s pop feel. It’s glossy, fun to look at, and full of gossip, but also short on substance. This is not quite what we’d expect from a movie about the famous surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, played here by Ben Kingsley. A prologue and epilogue is set […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Anne Ramsay, Ron E. Rains, Jeremy Holm, Larry Fessenden, Ezra Buzzington, Kristina Klebe Writer: Ted Geoghegan Director: Ted Geoghegan Distributor: Shudder/AMC+ Release Date: June 9, 2023 Much of BROOKLYN 45 rolls out as though it could be a stage play. Most of it occurs on a single albeit large set. It also has what is more a theatrical than a film convention, a group of middle-aged friends coming together for what’s meant to be a friendly social gathering that becomes an exploration of ethics, duty, responsibility, guilt, and a lot more. But then there’s the supernatural […]Read On »

BLUE JEAN movie poster | ©2023 Magnolia Pictures

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Rosy McEwen, Kerrie Hayes, Lucy Halliday Writer: Georgia Oakley Director: Georgia Oakley Distributor: Magnolia Pictures Release Date: June 9, 2023 BLUE JEAN is set in 1988 Newcastle, England. Margaret Thatcher is the British Prime Minister, and building walls in this largely working-class city are painted with slogans about making sure that children are being taught “traditional values.” So, it’s thirty-five years ago, but some issues remain sadly resonant. Jean Newman (Rosy McEwen) is a teacher and sports coach at a secondary school (that’s high school for us U.S. folks). She is in her late twenties or […]Read On »

Coleman, Reilly Brooke Stith, Keith Holliday, Amani Summer, Edem Atsu-Swanzy, Ellis Hobbs IV, Dale Cordice Jr., Jeremy DeCarlos, Beth Felice, Tracie Frank Writer: Bomani J. Story Director: Bomani J. Story Distributor: RLJE Films/Shudder/Allblk Release Date: June 9, 2023 (theatrical); June 23, 2023 (digital) There is a lot of mostly good metaphor in THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER. It also works as a fairly straight Frankenstein tale. The main question here might be with the title. Our protagonist, Vicaria (Laya DeLeon Hayes) is indeed angry, but so is […]Read On »

Thompson Distributor: Sony/Columbia/Marvel Release Date: June 2, 2023 The Marvel Cinematic Universe has for awhile now been walking the self-awareness tightrope.

Because of the specifics of the short story, a major studio release based on it was very likely to take […]Read On »
