OPENING
Bugonia (R) Emma Stone crushes it yet again in this remake of the Korean movie Save the Green Planet! She portrays a pharmaceutical CEO kidnapped by a conspiracy theorist (Jesse Plemons) who’s convinced that she’s actually a space alien disguised as a human. Despite director Yorgos Lanthimos’ well-earned reputation for weirdness, this offers the old-fashioned pleasures of a kidnapping thriller for a good long while, as the captive proves for weaknesses in her angry and unstable captor. Plemons is really good as a guy who is not just another nutcase and is struggling to keep it together, but he’s still swamped by Stone as a woman who’s willing to say anything that she thinks her captor might want to hear and eventually seizes control of the situation in unforgettable fashion. Also with Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone. (Re-opens Friday)
Didn’t Die (NR) This horror film stars Kiran Deol as a podcaster trying to maintain her audience as the world is overrun by zombies. Also with George Basil, Samrat Chakrabarty, Katie McCuen, Ali Lopez-Sohaili, Rupak Ginn, and Rachna Khatau. (Opens Friday in Dallas)
Dolly (R) This retro horror film stars Fabianne Therese as a young woman who’s preyed upon by a backwoods killer wearing a doll mask (Max the Impaler). Also with Ethan Suplee, Russ Tiller, Kate Cobb, Michalina Scorzelli, and Seann William Scott. (Opens Friday)
For Worse (R) Amy Landecker writes, directs, and stars in this comedy as a newly divorced woman who takes a much-younger date (Nico Hiraga) to her ex-husband’s wedding. Also with Bradley Whitford, Gaby Hoffmann, Ken Marino, Simon Helberg, Liv Hewson, Kiersey Clemons, Paul Adelstein, and Missi Pyle. (Opens Friday at AMC Grapevine Mills)
Marty Supreme (R) Josh Safdie’s first solo effort as a director is better than Uncut Gems. Like that movie, it’s a sports-oriented film about a Jewish man who hustles because his life depends on it, but because this Jewish protagonist (Timothée Chalamet) has a great talent for table tennis, it dries out the movie and keeps it from becoming too heavy. Chalamet is electric and dangerous as a guy who is very far from being a nice Jewish boy, who knocks up his neighbor’s wife (Odessa A’zion) and beds a movie star (Gwyneth Paltrow) while trying to negotiate a sponsorship deal with her husband (Kevin O’Leary). Safdie creates set pieces that give us no time to catch our breath and displays creative approaches to music and the casting of the supporting roles. Still, it’s Chalamet’s performance that sells this, especially at the end, when he finds something other than his sport to focus on. Also with Fran Drescher, Sandra Bernhard, Tyler the Creator, Larry “Ratso” Sloman, Emory Cohen, Luke Manley, Géza Röhrig, Koto Kawaguchi, Pico Iyer, Fred Hechinger, Penn Jillette, Isaac Mizrahi, George Gervin, and Abel Ferrara. (Re-opens Friday)
Masthishka Maranam (NR) This Indian science-fiction satire stars Rajiha Vijayan as a pop star caught up in a social-media scandal in the 2040s. Also with Niranj Maniyanpilla Raju, Santhy Balachandran, Divya Prabha, Jagadish, and Nandhu. (Opens Friday at AMC Grapevine Mills)
Mension House Mallesh (NR) This Telugu-language comedy stars Kamakshi Bhaskarla as a village man trying to establish his own business in the face of public scandal. Also with Muralidhar Goud, Rajkumar Kasireddy, Padma Nimmanakoti, Gayatri Ramanna, and Hari Rebel. (Opens Friday at AMC Grapevine Mills)
Mrithyunjay (NR) Sree Vishnu stars in this Telugu-language thriller as a man caught up in a murderous banking scandal. Also with Ayappa P. Sharma, Racha Ravi, Rebba Monica John, and Sudarshan. (Opens Friday at AMC Grapevine Mills)
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (R) Cillian Murphy reprises his role in this big-screen version of the TV show, as Tommy Shelby undertakes secret missions during World War II. Also with Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, Stephen Graham, Sophie Rundle, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Ian Peck, Ned Dennehy, and Tim Roth. (Opens Friday)
A Poet (NR) This Colombian drama stars Guillermo Cardona as a writer who finds a talented teenager (Rebeca Andrade) to mentor. Also with Alisson Correa, Humberto Restrepo, Ubeimar Rios, and Margarita Soto. (Opens Friday)
Protector (R) Milla Jovovich stars in this thriller as a war hero whose teenage daughter (Isabel Myers) is kidnapped by human traffickers. Also with D.B. Sweeney, Don Harvey, Michael Stahl-David, Texas Battle, Shane Williams, and Matthew Modine. (Opens Friday)
Sampradayini Suppini Suddapusaani (NR) This Telugu-language thriller stars Sivaji as a village secretary who’s forced to flee for his life after a crime. Also with Laya, Mohammad Ali, Raj Tirandasu, Rohan, Dhanraj, and Raghu Babu. (Opens Friday)
The Secret Agent (R) Worthy of its Oscar nominations, this Brazilian thriller moves at an unhurried pace. Wagner Moura portrays a chemistry professor who’s targeted for murder by an energy magnate (Luciano Chirolli) and his cronies in the government in 1977. The life of this movie isn’t in the pursuit of our main character by low-level hit men, but rather in the people he meets while he’s lying low in his hometown of Recife. Moura’s performance and writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho’s attention to detail hold this 160-minute epic together as it goes through shootouts and a bizarre subplot about a severed leg coming to life. Bold, likable, and carefully considered, this story about taking on a fascist regime relies on its portrait of an everyday hero. Also with Carlos Francisco, Tânia Maria, Robério Diógenes, Gabriel Leone, Roney Villela, Thomás Aquino, Alice Carvalho, Hermila Guedes, Italo Martins, Igor de Araújo, Laura Lufési, Maria Fernanda Cândido, and the late Udo Kier. (Re-opens Friday)
Sirāt (NR) Sergi López stars in this drama as a Spanish man who travels to the Moroccan desert to search for his missing teenage daughter. Also with Bruno Núñez Arjona, Stefania Gadda, Joshua Liam Henderson, Richard “Bigui” Bellamy, and Jade Oukid. (Re-opens Friday in Dallas)
Train Dreams (PG-13) Adapted from Denis Johnson’s novel, Clint Bentley’s Oscar-nominated film is quite pleasant and unmemorable. Joel Edgerton stars as a 19th-century railroad worker in the Pacific Northwest who experiences tragedy while taking in the natural beauty of his working environment. The cinematography by Adolpho Veloso well merits its Oscar nomination and Bentley moves things along at a pace that suggests the passing of decades in a stolid and taciturn man’s life, but the whole thing rather washes over the viewer without leaving much of an impression. Maybe it’s more impressive on the big screen than it is on Netflix? Also with Felicity Jones, Kerry Condon, Clifton Collins Jr., Paul Schneider, Alfred Hsing, David Olsen, John Diehl, and William H. Macy. Narrated by Will Patton. (Opens Friday at Movie Tavern Hulen)
Youngblood (PG-13) A loose remake of the 1986 hockey drama adds a racial element to the story that’s pretty much the only interesting thing here. Ashton James stars as a Detroit native who’s caught between the Angry Black Man stereotype and hockey’s code of honor which expects players to fight for themselves. Director Hubert Davis is a documentarian who previously made an informative non-fiction film about Black hockey players called Black Ice. The unique issues faced by Black players are good to have here, but neither our protagonist’s relationship with his new coach (Shawn Doyle) nor his flirtation with the coach’s daughter (Alexandra McDonald) are remotely convincing. This will do if Heated Rivalry and/or the Olympics has whetted your appetite for more hockey entertainment, but it misses its chance to make a deeper mark. Also with Blair Underwood, Olunike Adeliyi, Henri Richer-Picard, Emidio Lopes, and Donald MacLean Jr. (Opens Friday)
NOW PLAYING
Avatar: Fire and Ash (PG-13) Actually more interesting than the first two films, though that doesn’t make this good. Human being Spider (Jack Champion) gains the ability to breathe Pandora’s air, which only creates more problems because it makes him more attractive to the humans as a test subject. The best thing the series could do is kill off both Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Col. Quaritch (Stephen Lang), who both were wearing out their welcome even before this movie. While this film is beset by many of the same issues as its predecessors, it at least introduces us to a new Na’vi clan who ally themselves with the humans to get their hands on Earth weapons. They make more interesting villains than any this franchise has had before, and their presence lets us know that the Na’vi are not just innocent victims. A better writer than James Cameron might make this world interesting yet. Also with Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Giovanni Ribisi, Jemaine Clement, David Thewlis, and Kate Winslet.
Bendito corazón (NR) This Mexican drama tells the story of various people trying to build lives in the Spanish colony during the 18th century. Starring Frank Rodríguez, Salvador Zerboni, Lisset, Humberto Fuentes, Juan Manuel Azcona, Manjarrez Belinda, and Miguel Angel Pérez.
Crime 101 (R) Very well made, yet weirdly impersonal. Chris Hemsworth headlines this star-studded piece of L.A. noir as a high-end jewel thief eyeing a huge score. Writer-director Bart Layton (American Animals) adapts this from Don Winslow’s novel and is clearly aiming for an epic character study like Heat, but the main character is someone who tries to make himself as unmemorable as possible, and Hemsworth can’t make anything interesting out of that. The anomie spreads to his interactions with a disgruntled insurance executive (Halle Berry), a down-on-his-luck cop (Mark Ruffalo), a psychopathic replacement (Barry Keoghan), and a love interest (Monica Barbaro). There’s a good car-and-motorcycle chase in the middle and a decent hotel showdown at the end, but it’s not enough to give the movie any sort of personality. Also with Corey Hawkins, Payman Maadi, Devon Bostick, Tate Donovan, Crosby Fitzgerald, Andra Nechita, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte.
Dracula (R) A spectacular mismatch of director and material. Luc Besson makes his own adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel, with Caleb Landry Jones as the vampire and Zoë Bleu as the wife who’s killed in the 15th century and then reincarnated in the 19th. The filmmakers put a lot of work into re-creating Paris in 1889 but forget about basic stuff like why nobody tells the Romanian soldiers what they’re up against when they raid Dracula’s castle. Jones is charmless and boring as the count, and Besson has no talent either for scaring us or for evoking a love that spans centuries. Even the presence of Christoph Waltz as a vampire-hunting Vatican priest can’t relieve us from the tedium. You wonder why anybody involved with this even bothered. Also with Ewens Abid, David Shields, Matilda de Angelis, and Guillaume de Tonquédec.
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (PG-13) Not quite the event that the filmmakers seem to think, though it still has value. Baz Luhrmann’s documentary consists of previously lost footage of Elvis Presley’s residency in Las Vegas, which he and his crew found while they were making Elvis. It’s hard not to wonder whether Presley is sweating because of his onstage exertions or all the drugs he was on at the time, and the audio clips from interviews with him don’t yield much insight into his ideas about music. You will nevertheless get to see him still looking and sounding fit while he covers his old hits as well as songs by the Everly Brothers, Ray Charles, and the Beatles. The performances stop short of electrifying, but they are good enough to make you understand why people flocked to the Vegas shows, and fans of the King of Rock and Roll will want to hear him perform through movie theater speakers.
F1: The Movie (PG-13) The best auto-racing film ever made, especially if you see it in a theater with good speakers. Director Joseph Kosinski made you feel the speed and torque of the fighter planes in Top Gun: Maverick, and he uses those same skills to tell the story of a washed-up Formula One racer (Brad Pitt) who’s given one last shot to compete at that level by a desperate former racing teammate (Javier Bardem). The roar of the race cars is so intense that you may walk out exhausted from all the sound energy hitting your body. The subplots about our grizzled veteran mentoring a cocky young teammate (Damson Idris) and romancing his team’s technical director (Kerry Condon) don’t pull their weight, but the script delves deep into racing strategy, and the sound engineering and the cameras mounted on vehicles will make you feel like you’re there on race day. Also with Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, Luciano Bacheta, Sarah Niles, Will Merrick, Callie Cooke, Samson Kayo, and Shea Whigham.
GOAT (PG) A better sequel to Zootopia than the actual Zootopia sequel. This animated movie is about a goat (voiced by Caleb McLaughlin) who wishes to play a form of full-contact basketball against much larger animals. The pixelated look of this movie gives it a grungier feel than most other Hollywood animated features, and the Black viewpoint further adds to this film’s uniqueness. I like how the basketball courts each have their own individual features that benefit the home team. The story is based on the life of NBA legend Steph Curry, who is cutely cast against type as the voice of a giraffe. It all makes this an animated sports movie worth cheering for. Additional voices by Gabrielle Union, Nick Kroll, David Harbour, Nicola Coughlan, Aaron Pierre, Jenifer Lewis, Patton Oswalt, Sherry Cola, Andrew Santino, Ayesha Curry, Eduardo Franco, Bobby Lee, Wayne Knight, Jelly Roll, and Jennifer Hudson.
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (R) Gore Verbinski’s sense of absurd humor goes missing in this apocalyptic comedy. Sam Rockwell stars as a time traveler from the future who visits the same diner for the 117th time to pick the right combination of customers who will avert an AI-triggered end of human civilization. Despite some worthy performances by Haley Lu Richardson and Juno Temple as two members of his team, the stacked cast appears to be mostly lost. The story becomes stuck in the mud as it approaches the climax and its satire about people becoming smartphone zombies is well wide of the mark. Even a giant kitten-cow monster that eats people and pees out broken glass can’t save this exercise. Also with Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Tom Taylor, Georgia Goodman, and Mike Gassaway.
Hamnet (R) Beautifully crafted, occasionally crushing, and based on Maggie O’Farrell’s work of speculative fiction, Chloé Zhao’s film is about William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his wife Agnes (Jessie Buckley) dealing with the death of their 11-year-old son Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe) from the bubonic plague. The film is quite different from O’Farrell’s novel; instead of adopting different characters’ viewpoints and jumping around in time, the movie proceeds in a linear fashion and sticks with Agnes as she raises the children in Stratford while Will goes off to London and catches on with a theater company. Much like Shakespeare in Love, this movie truly takes flight during a production of a Shakespeare play, when Agnes travels to London and sees her husband’s Hamlet as an expression of his grief over their lost son. Great performances by both leads bring this Hamlet to tragic life no matter how many Hamlets you’ve seen. Also with Joe Alwyn, Freya Hannan-Mills, David Wilmot, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, Olivia Lynes, Noah Jupe, and Emily Watson.
How to Make a Killing (R) This unofficial remake of Kind Hearts and Coronets removes everything that made the 1949 British comedy so delightful and doesn’t do near enough to replace it. Glen Powell portrays a man who decides to claim his family’s $28 billion inheritance by murdering all the relatives in his way as revenge for them disinheriting his mother. Powell provides some lift as a homicidal psychopath whom we can root for, especially when he’s reacting to some outrageous victims like a pretentious photographer (Zach Woods) and a crooked megachurch pastor (Topher Grace). The material isn’t funny enough, though, and writer-director John Patton Ford (Emily the Criminal) mysteriously dials down the class warfare element here. This could have been so much more. Also with Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Bill Camp, Grady Wilson, Nell Williams, Adrian Lukis, James Frecheville, Raff Law, Bianca Amato, Alexander Hanson, and Ed Harris.
I Can Only Imagine 2 (PG) The sequel to the 2018 Christian music biopic continues the journey of MercyMe lead singer Bart Millard (John Michael Finley) as he takes his teenage son (Sammy Dell) on tour as well as terminally ill singer-songwriter Tim Timmons (Milo Ventimiglia). Even if you’re not familiar with the Millard family’s story, none of the plot developments here will be remotely surprising, as Bart works through his issues with his own deceased father while trying to parent a kid whose medical condition needs constant supervision. Ventimiglia provides some comic snap as a musician who’s embarking on his first nationwide tour as MercyMe’s opening act, but this boilerplate Christian drama is beyond saving. Also with Sophie Skelton, Arielle Kebbel, Trace Adkins, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, and Dennis Quaid.
Iron Lung (R) A case against YouTube creators making films, I’m sad to say. Mark Fischbach a.k.a. Markiplier stars in his own adaptation of the video game as a convict who’s promised freedom in exchange for undertaking a dangerous mission where he pilots a solo submarine in an ocean of blood on an alien planet. Markiplier also distributed the movie himself without a studio, and it’s a great story that he’s able to take in so much money and leave such a cultural footprint that way. However, I can’t ignore how he fails to generate a sense of claustrophobia, provide convincing hallucinations of a man losing touch with reality, or deliver a coherent story about the human race facing extinction. It’s all just tedious close-ups of antiquated machinery and pipes dripping water. Also with Troy Baker, Elsie Lovelock, Caroline Kaplan, Elle LaMont, and Seán McLoughlin.
Pillion (NR) Harry Melling is the best thing about this gay British S&M romance. He portrays a London cop who falls in love with a hot gay biker (Alexander Skarsgård), a dom who orders him about as a prelude to engaging in rough sex with him. It’s understandable that he accepts this, as he’s afraid that he can’t get another man so handsome, but watching this one-sided relationship makes much of the film feel like you’re the guy at the orgy whom everyone is studiously ignoring. However, writer-director Harry Lighton dexterously builds up to a climax revealing that the dom is actually the weak link in the couple who can’t handle an afternoon of not giving commands. Like Babygirl and The Chronology of Water, this is a film about a sub learning to ask for what he wants, but it’s better than those because of its psychological insight. Also with Lesley Sharp, Jake Shears, Mat Hill, Nick Figgis, and Douglas Hodge.
Scream 7 (R) Can this series die already? This latest installment is certainly bad enough to kill it. Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott, who has moved to a new small town and opened a cafe when a new Ghostface claiming to be original movie killer Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard) targets her teenage daughter (Isabel May). Writer-director Kevin Williamson’s script is witless, and this new town has cops who disappear for long stretches without any explanation. The same goes for Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), to the point where I started to think she was the killer. Nostalgia is all this series has left. At least Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega got out of this. Also with Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Asa Germann, Kraig Dane, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Timothy Simons, Ethan Embry, Mark Consuelos, Scott Foley, Laurie Metcalfe, and David Arquette.
Send Help (R) For all of us who needed the feral, unhinged, blood-soaked version of Rachel McAdams in our lives. She stars as a strategist for a corporate consulting firm who can’t break the glass ceiling until she and her horrible boss (Dylan O’Brien) are the sole survivors when the corporate plane crashes on an uninhabited tropical island. McAdams’ balls-to-the-wall approach works less well in the middle but better at the beginning (when she’s playing someone who’s too poorly socialized to make friends in the office) and at the end (when the violence takes the movie into Evil Dead territory). Speaking of which, director Sam Raimi can’t keep the movie from falling apart at the end, but the film is still blackly funny and memorable for McAdams’ berserk turn. Also with Edyll Ismail, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang, Thaneth Warakulnukroh, and Dennis Haysbert.
Sinners (R) Ryan Coogler’s foray into Jordan Peele territory is wild and wildly original, even when it doesn’t make sense. Michael B. Jordan plays identical twins who return from Chicago to their Mississippi hometown in the 1930s to open a blues joint with their cousin (Miles Caton) who happens to be an otherworldly musician. Jordan gives two bracing performances as brothers with different jobs and temperaments, the Mississippi town is more layered than we usually see in Hollywood movies, and there’s a great sequence with the blues musician delivering a song so powerful that it opens a rift in time and space as well as attracting vampires. Coogler winds up with a few too many ideas in his intellectual stew, but it frames Delta blues in a wholly unexpected way and emerges as a worthy vampire movie. What other movie can say that? Also with Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Li Jun Li, Jack O’Connell, Lola Kirke, Jayme Lawson, Saul Williams, Andrene Ward-Hammond, Peter Dreimanis, Omar Miller, Yao, Delroy Lindo, and Buddy Guy.
Solo Mio (PG) Surprisingly not terrible. Kevin James stars in this comedy as a man whose Italian wedding is ruined after his bride-to-be (Julie Ann Emery) leaves him at the altar. With the rest of his honeymoon non-refundable, he stays in Tuscany and enjoys grappa and gelato, makes friends with the other honeymooning couples from America, and even falls in love again. If the movie is too postcard-pretty and the laughs could come more frequently, the pace doesn’t drag. Also with Jonathan Roumie, Kim Coates, Nicole Grimaudo, Julee Cerda, Caterina Silva, Alessandro Carbonara, and Alyson Hannigan.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby — Beginning of a New Era (NR) Not bad, but better if you’re already familiar with the series of Japanese video games and anime where girls have the physical characteristics of racehorses. Jungle Pocket (voiced by Yuri Fujimoto) sees her first race and resolves to become the fastest racer, with the help of a retired champion (voiced by Eriko Matsui). The different racing girls are reasonably well distinguished from one another, and the animators sgive us some trippy visuals, though the plot developments are standard for other sports movies. If you’re a newcomer to the property, this film is good enough to perhaps make you curious about the rest of the series. Additional voices by Sumire Uesaka, Yui Ogura, Haruna Fukushima, Sora Tokui, Kanna Nakamura, and Ken’ichi Ogata.
Wuthering Heights (R) This bodice-ripper about two insanely hot people and their forbidden love doesn’t work on Emily Brontë’s terms, but works on its own. Director Emerald Fennell’s visual sense operates at an astonishing pitch, which is crucial in preventing this movie from turning into some museum piece. The occasionally garish visuals are always a treat to look at, and Fennell infuses this movie with more S&M-laced sex than any other adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The marriage between Heathcliff and Isabella (Jacob Elordi and Alison Oliver) is deeply icky. Elordi is no slouch, but Margot Robbie owns the show as a conceited Cathy who’s brought to a tragic end by thwarted love. Fennell pares away all the silly stuff that makes the novel a literary classic, and I’m rather enamored of her trashy mind. Also with Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Martin Clunes, Ewan Mitchell, Charlotte Mellington, and Owen Cooper.
Zootopia 2 (PG) Not as good as the first one, I’m afraid. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman) have to deal with a new case involving the family of snakes who founded the city and were screwed out of their inheritance by the mammals. Some of the jokes do land like they should, but the metaphors are not as resonant, and the new supporting characters aren’t as well drawn as they were in the original. The fraying partnership between our two cops doesn’t throw up anything new, either. There is a funny subplot with a TV actor stallion (voiced by Patrick Warburton) becoming Zootopia’s new mayor, but it’s not enough to recommend the film. Additional voices by Ke Huy Quan, Fortune Feimster, Andy Samberg, David Strathairn, Quinta Brunson, Danny Trejo, Nate Torrence, Don Lake, Bonnie Hunt, CM Punk, Stephanie Beatriz, Alan Tudyk, Macaulay Culkin, Brenda Song, Tiny Lister Jr., John Leguizamo, Tommy Chong, Auli’i Cravalho, Tig Notaro, Ed Sheeran, Cecily Strong, June Squibb, Michael J. Fox, Josh Gad, Idris Elba, and Jenny Slate.
