MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Save the Cat
Who knew what the franchise was missing all this time was more cat? That’s fixed in A Quiet Place: Day One.
Monkeying Around
All you’ll really remember from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the mo-cap monkeys you can’t tell from the real thing.
Not Over Yet
Denis Villeneuve continues his deep dive into Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic with Dune: Part Two.
A Gentle Apocalypse
What kind of apocalyptic thriller has no gunfire? Mahalia Belo’s The End We Start From kind.
Too Little Too Late
If you felt Alienoid was a true cliffhanger, brace for the fall in Alienoid: Return to the Future.
A Lot of Songbirds
Will you look at that. The Hunger Games prequel is 2/3s better than the OG series.
Best Served Old
It’s the ol’ “go back in time and kill X before Y” thing, but done really well in Tokyo Revengers – part one of three.
Cheesy ‘Rider’
Shin Kamen Rider, Shin Masked Rider, whatever the title, it’s the least of Hideaki Anno’s Shin Trilogy.
Flash & Dash
Troubled star. Massive budget. Boardroom stupidty. Must be DC’s latest drama. The Flash is… Okay!
‘Galaxy’ Quests
It’s over. It’s over. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 wraps up the trilogy in…meh fashion.
Dino-Might Not
Are dinosaurs and space opera two great tastes that taste great together in 65?
‘Wandering’ Away
Frant Gwo cements a billion-dollar soft power franchise with The Wandering Earth II.
The Real Deal
James Cameron returns to Pandora with the first of four Avatar sequels, Avatar: The Way of Water. And holy shit!
Diary of a Mad Housewife
Florence Pugh’s fondness for Aperol and Harry Styles’ acting are the least of Don’t Worry Darling’s problems.
‘Future’ Shock
Producer-star Louis Koo taps VFX pro Ng Yuen-fai to help prove there is such a thing as HK SF.
