https://filmyap.substack.com/p/reeling-backward-fandango-1985?s=w
The 1985 coming-of-age comedy that launched Kevin Costner's career is now out in a new Blu-ray edition. Matthew Socey calls it enjoyable tomfoolery.
Christian mystery-thriller "The Ravine" is heavy on Christ; light on mystery/thrills.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/escape-the-field?s=w
“Escape the Field” is a low-budget thriller with a fun concept at its core but with puzzle pieces that never add up to a satisfying whole.
Colin Firth stars in "Operation Mincement," in theaters today, on the Netflix soon after. An old-school WWII movie more about the schemers in the home shore bunkers than the doughboys across the sea.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/operation-mincemeat?s=w
An effective, old-school war drama with a top-notch cast and director that reveals the human story behind the greatest ruse in military history.
A delightful heist/courtroom/character piece from director Roger Michell and starring the great Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/the-duke?s=w
Jim Broadbent gives a twinkly, charismatic performance as an obscure Brit raconteur who stole a famous painting, with Helen Mirren as his long-suffering wife.
Christopher Lloyd says "The Year of the Everlasting Storm," which plays at the Kan-Kan Cinema this week, works as a healing balm for tensions built up during the early days of pandemic.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/the-year-of-the-everlasting-storm?s=w
This anthology of stories from around the globe about the early days of pandemic serves as a cathartic exhale after all we've been through.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/odd-trilogies-darkman?s=w

Marvel manages to rein in the multiverse to tell a self-contained story that's surprisingly solid on character and full to the brim with the iconic sensibilities of director Sam Raimi.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/doctor-strange-in-the-multiverse
Marvel manages to rein in the multiverse to make a satisfyingly self-contained story that's full to the brim with the iconic sensibilities of Sam Raimi.
Actually more of a heist movie than a war epic, "The Guns of Navarone" is a stolid, old-school picture.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/reeling-backward-the-guns-of-navarone?s=w
An old-school war picture, where men are men, women are tough (but not too tough!) and the Nazis are hiss-able bad guys.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/new-to-view-may-3-b5c?s=w
A Pixar animated feature about the challenges of adolescence, another Liam Neeson thriller and the 70th anniversary of a classic movie musical headline our new releases.

"The Survivor" is an important film with an indelible performance from Ben Foster.
Logan Richardson Sowash says the new Netflix anime film is flawed, yet delightful.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/bubble?s=w
From the gorgeous animation to the well done score, "Bubble" is a flawed yet delightful film that you can't help but be mesmerized by.
Here's something exceedingly cool: Alec Toombs scored an interview with the director and co-star of the new Bruce Willis action film, "Fortress: Sniper's Eye." And yes, he asked them about Willis' recent revelation and how it impacted filming.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/the-av-room-fortress-snipers-eye?s=w
Alec Toombs sat down with director Josh Sternfeld and co-star Kelly Greyson to discuss the making of the new action film starring Bruce Willis.

#Hatching #MovieReview
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/hatching?s=w
An eerie Finnish horror flick about a tween girl who hatches herself a bird-like companion from an egg, an effective parable on puberty.
Another week, another frisky French film in local cinemas. Christopher Lloyd was rather disappointed in this one -- it's like a pale imitation of "The Worst Person in the World."
#AnaisinLove #MovieReview
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/anais-in-love?s=w
A familiar subject, the romantic misadventures of an impulsive girl-child, fails to undertake any meaningful introspection in this French trifle.

On this week's show, Chris reviews "The Northman," "The Bad Guys," "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent," "Aline" and "We're All Going to the World's Fair."
Robert Eggers, known for small period thrillers, takes a stab at the broader blockbuster epic.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/the-northman
Robert Eggers' stab at a big-budget epic is his least interesting work yet—but still worth a watch.

"Charlotte," the new animated drama gradually rolling out in theaters, shows that animation can be employed for serious, real-life stories. Christopher Lloyd says if you liked last year's "Flee," this should hold your interest.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/charlotte?s=w
An incredibly revealing and tragic portrait of a German-Jewish artist that demonstrates the power of animation to tell grown-up stories.
Caine Gardner says "Children of Sin" oozes with 1980s-style schlocky goodness.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/children-of-sin?s=w
“Children of Sin” in a fun frolic oozing with shlocky goodness that feels like an 80s cult classic rediscovered in 2022.
A Cage tribute that's cagey about being Cage-y.
This buddy comedy aims to be 'the most Nicolas Cage movie ever;' instead it's a been-there studio venture with little relation to Cage's ethos.
Super weird, creepy, gets under your skin and has something to say about today's youth, so constantly connected online and yet often feeling very alone. Opens at the Kan-Kan Cinema this week.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/were-all-going-to-the-worlds-fair?s=w
This unnerving spooker about a teen playing a haunted video game blurs genres and filmmaking techniques.
A takedown of Celine Dion? Or a tribute? Despite the filmmaker/star's odd choice to morph her own face onto a child's body, "Aline" is a tuneful hit that mostly hits the right notes.
https://filmyap.substack.com/p/aline?s=w
Despite some wonky CGI, this "fictional biopic" about singer Celine Dion is an engaging tribute that mostly hits the right notes.
