Rating: PG-13 Stars: Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Ariana Greenblatt, America Ferrara, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Issa Rae, Will Ferrell, Helen Mirren (voice) Writers: Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach Director: Greta Gerwig Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: July 21, 2023 BARBIE is weird, in a mostly good way. It is pleasingly clever, wonderfully acted, and has perfect production design (by Sarah Greenwood) and even more remarkable costume design (by Jacqueline Durran). BARBIE’s script, by director Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach, is also loaded with ideas that turn over and over and over. There’s comedy, there’s parody, there’s self-satire, there’s […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Lizzy Caplan, Woody Norman, Cleopatra Coleman, Antony Starr, Luke Busey, Jay Rincón Writer: Chris Thomas Devlin Director: Samuel Bodin Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: July 21, 2023 COBWEB is linear, and doesn’t try to play games with us. Even so, it feels like a child’s nightmare, with potential horror coming from many directions at once. An opening title tells us that COBWEB begins one week before Halloween. Eight-year-old Peter (Woody Norman) is an unhappy little boy. He’s bullied by his peers in class and on the playground. Peter lives in a neighborhood where the houses are old and […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Charlotte Fountain-Jardim, Thomas Robie, Noen Perez, Channah Zeitung, Bill Moseley, Danielle Harris, Robert Englund, Amit Sarin, Will Murden, Joey Bothwell, Jason James Richter Writer: Benjamin Olson Director: Dwight H. Little Distributor: Vertical Entertainment Release Date: July 21, 2023 Too often, horror movies don’t have much plot. We get a set-up, then a villain, and then it’s just stalk, fend off, and fight-fight-fight. There’s nothing wrong with this, of course, but still, it’s nice to see a story with cause-and-effect plotting. That’s the case with NATTY KNOCKS. Written by Benjamin Olson and directed by Dwight H. Little, […]Read On »
