Opening This Week - June 10
The Buzz:
Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return as noted paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in this sequel that looks every bit as chilling as the 2013 original. This time around, however, the action moves across the pond, from a farmhouse in Rhode Island to a council house in Enfield, England, where poltergeist activity has settled uncomfortably into the lives of a single mother and her family. The movie is based on real-life events from the late 1970s. According to reports, on the first day of shooting, a priest was brought in to bless the set. Guess that tells horror diehards all they need to know. - Bret
The Buzz:
Director Duncan Jones takes on the challenge of creating a big-budget blockbuster based on a videogame franchise with decades of complex mythology and world-building. The CGI Orc world is visually impressive, as are the motion-capture characters. The effects team put an equal amount of effort into details like creating realistic facial expressions for the Orcs as it did into the large-scale battle sequences. One of the reasons I am anticipating this film's release is that its box office receipts could have a major impact on the film industry. Will it break the "Video Game Movie Curse" and inspire more video game adaptations? Will fans of the game accept the version of the characters and world that are presented in the film? Will people who have never played the game go see it? Stay tuned. - Sara
The Buzz:
With notable exceptions such as Captain America: Civil War, it's been a tough year for many sequels, and it's hard to tell exactly how Now You See Me 2 will perform since the original was such an unexpected hit. The premise seems to be on point in terms of audience appeal, and the expansion of the cast to include Daniel Radcliffe mitigates the loss of Isla Fisher, who declined a second go-round with the Four Horsemen.
The Buzz:
The life of revered book editor Max Perkins was turned into a best seller of its own, and we're interested to see how his story translates into a movie, since Perkins spent his life surrounded by outsized literary personalities, their myriad dramas and addictions, and, in some cases, their overdue and barely there compositions.
The Buzz:
Zero offense to all the wonderful music, visual art, and fashion documentaries that have become en vogue over the past several years, but it's great to see one on this genre master who delivered some fine, fine work throughout the 1970s and '80s. It's also cool to see that Jake Paltrow and Noah Baumbach co-directed the documentary. - Arno
The Buzz:
I wasn't quite sure I'd even need to see another version of this story since Luis Buñuel's 1964 film will always be the definitive version. But one look at Léa Seydoux in the trailer, and I was seduced, albeit with slightly low expectations for anything aside from a nasty summertime romp with the material. - Arno
The Buzz:
Cool to see that Guillermo Arriaga, Alejandro G. Iñárritu's go-to writer, has a hand in this screenplay. The gay-themed drama won director/co-writer Lorenzo Vigas a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 2015. Art house audiences will recognize star Alfredo Castro from No and Tony Manero.
The Buzz:
Writer/director Felix Thompson won an Independent Spirit Award for his well-reviewed take on the anxieties of modern day adolescence.
