Your guide to some of the new releases that are out this week. DISNEY’S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST While Disney continues to make a killing with its Marvel franchise and its Star Wars franchise, it continues to make money hand over fist with these live action adaptations from classic animated titles. Here Emma Watson plays the title character of Belle, who agrees to be the captive of the gnarly beast when her father gets in trouble. Unlike some of the other live action flicks, this one keeps the storyline pretty close to the original including creepy CGI candlesticks, tea cups […]Read On »

Movie Review: IT COMES AT NIGHT

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN
IT COMES AT NIGHT movie poster | ©2017 A24

Rating: R Stars: Joel Edgerton, Carmen Ejogo, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Christopher Abbott, Riley Keogh, Griffin Robert Faulkner, David Pendleton Writer: Trey Edward Shults Director: Trey Edward Shults Distributor: A24 Release Date: June 9, 2017 IT COMES AT NIGHT is a perfectly respectable low-budget post-apocalypse character study – or it would be if it wasn’t so half-hearted about trying to add a horror element. This has the effect of making us wait for something that neither fully materializes nor adds meaningfully to the potent tension. In the world of IT COMES AT NIGHT, an unspecified but deadly plague has decimated the […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Tom Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, Sofia Boutella, Russell Crowe, Jake Johnston Writers: David Koepp and Christopher McQuarrie and Dylan Kussman, story by Jon Spaihts and Alex Kurtzman & Jenny Lumet Director: Alex Kurtzman Distributor: Universal Release Date: June 9, 2017 THE MUMMY isn’t a remake of the ‘30s Boris Karloff version, the ‘50s Peter Cushing edition or the ‘90s/’00s trilogy starring Brendan Fraser. It has its own mythology and its own look, both of which are very strong. The two big problems here are first that this MUMMY doesn’t know how to lay out its narrative so that […]Read On »

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Mark Pellegrino, Samantha Smith, Courtney Ford, Alexander Calvert, Jim Beaver Writer: Andrew Dabb, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Robert Singer Network: The CW, Thursdays @ 8 PM Original Airdate: May 18, 2017 Okay, so this is curious. It has become traditional for SUPERNATURAL to start each season finale with a relevant montage set to Kansas’ “Carry On, Wayward Son.” In the Season 12 season finale, “All Along the Watchtower,” we get the Kansas song and the montage, but it is largely concerned with the seemingly concluded British Men of Letters plotline.

All three couples brought sweat and tears to the ballroom for an uplifting and emotional first part of the DWTS finals week performances before the finale tomorrow night.

Stars: David Ross, Simone Biles, Normani Kordei, Rashad Jennings Network: ABC, airs Monday Original Telecast: May 15th, 2017 Wow! Again… wow! In a DANCING WITH THE STARS surprising upset and the biggest shocking elimination since Heather Morris & Maks Chmerkovskiy went home, Simone Biles & Sasha Farber were let go one week shy of DWTS: Season 24 – The Finals. Not shocking was the perfect score of the night the couple received for both dances, something no one else was able to achieve. Just like with our Presidential election, when something like this happens, maybe DWTS needs to rethink their […]Read On »

HEAT: DIRECTOR’S DEFINITION EDITION highlights Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Releases for May 9, 2017

HEAT | © 2017 Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment

Your guide to some of the new releases that are out this week (or perhaps a week ago). HEAT: DIRECTOR’S DEFINITIVE EDITION There are a few movies that just do it for me. RONIN is one because I love the mash-up for characters all doing shady dealings in Europe. HEAT is one of Michael Mann’s best work because it has multiple players doing a variety of heinous crimes and brings together two actors that were (at the time) the top of their game in Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Now, how both of these actors perform today is an […]Read On »
