Elvis

Where to watch: Streamable on HBO Max

The 2022 musical biopic, directed by Baz Luhrmann, chronicles the life of American music icon Elvis Presley (Austin Butler), from childhood singing in a small church choir to rock legend. I draw up to the performance that fills the stadium as. Tom Hanks co-stars as Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker, a controversial and inexplicable foil for Elvis, who follows the young legend’s rise to fame like an ever-present shadow.

From our review:

As Elvis, Butler is almost pretty enough, without overpowering delicate portraits of a half-shy, insecure man who could only intermittently find the courage to lead his glowing talent on his path. Nail drawl and mannerisms. He finds no depth in Presley, or the insane heights of his delusional ego. Still obsessed with the stage, however, Rahman is more concerned with Presley as a performer than as a psychological object. And on stage, Butler (who sings a few songs himself and blends his performances with Elvis’ original recordings elsewhere) is dynamite.

From our review,

Dominion Leaning into the concept of sci-fi dystopias doubling as old-school monster movies, Universal knows a thing or two. jurassic world dominion Between the sequences that offer the bruxism commodity, we pause to explain humanity’s place in the evolutionary chain. Even if you have to wade through silly nostalgia to get to this fun, sprawling dinosaur playground, that’s enough.

From our review:

This is the real fear of trying to figure out who you are online. The hope of the internet is that everyone can find communities, operate anonymously to scare each other online, etc The quirkiness of the allows us to create a safe and creative space. Schoenbrunn suggests that within that collective expression, people can decide who and what they want to be. Let’s all go to the World Exposition It’s not just a movie about hooking up, it’s a movie about becoming. This is a powerful acknowledgment of how confusing and frightening adolescence can be. But this is also a film about hope. There’s a name for the particular kind of alienation and confusion that character feels. Perhaps despite the best efforts of the machine, people like Casey will find that name.

anime martial arts comedy angry feet Ports the rough strokes of Mel Brooks’ satirical western black comedy. blazing saddle From the frontiers of America to the villages of feudal Japan, it tells the story of a dog named Hank (Michael Cera) who embarks on a journey to fulfill his dream of becoming a samurai.

From our review:

The conversion from cowboy to samurai angry feet Neither Brooks nor the young filmmakers who actually made this film seem particularly interested in the dynamics of samurai films, so it’s not a parody of the genre. It’s an all-around spoof, nodding particularly to old American, mostly irrelevant movies like: west side story and Star Wars. Please do not make any mistakes. This is not a replacement. blazing saddleEven older kids will be more interested in Brooks. space balla spoof of 1987’s Star Wars, is entertaining but equally broad and not particularly familiar with the genre it’s duped.
