From our review:
Despite a long line of Matrix sequels and requels, ripoffs and imitators, this is the first film that authentically feels as surprising, daring, and downright groundbreaking as the Wachowskis’ 1999 original. See the special effects with this kaleidoscopic approach to shifting forms now looks as radical as Bullet Time did when it first appeared. The intoxicating deconstructive philosophy of the universe film feels as ambitious and radical as The Matrix‘s Gnostic view of reality did then. And the martial arts fight, carefully positioned between impressively choreographed and openly silly, feels as radical as it always does in a fight choreographed by Jackie Chan or Woo-Ping Yuen.
no time to die
Where to see: Available for streaming on Prime Video
In Daniel Craig’s Swan Song from the James Bond series, the super spy returns to active duty when an MI6 scientist is kidnapped by a terrorist fanatic (Rami Malek) in a plot to unleash a deadly biological weapon on the planet . Bond is joined by Nomi (Lashana Lynch), the “new” 007, CIA agent Paloma (Ana de Armas), and his old allies Q (Ben Whishaw) and Moneypenny (Naomie Harris).
From our review:
It would be easier to be less cynical if no time to die has convincingly lived up to its commitments to Bond’s humanity, rather than cramming it into a handful of scattered scenes around a ponderous, half-baked drama peppered with explosions and car chases. Maybe the movie really is about “family and relationships,” but to the extent that it is, it underscores the lack of imagination that drives the biggest blockbusters right now, the inevitability that all of our modern-day heroes will eventually feel as stale as the smug ladykillers who once replaced them.
The card counter
Where to see: Available to stream on HBO Max
Paul Schrader’s sequel to his 2018 spiritual drama First reformed
Hurry
Where to see: Available to stream on Netflix
Adam Sandler returns to dramatic acting in sports drama 2022 Hurry, starring an unlucky basketball scout who takes it upon himself to mentor Bo Cruz (NBA real-life player Juancho Hernangómez), a gifted young player with a troubled overseas past. Taking him back to America without his team’s permission, the pair must work together to defy the odds in order to get a shot at the NBA. Produced by LeBron James and Sandler himself, Hurry looks like a gripping basketball drama inspired by a hard-nosed but passionate love of the game.
From our review:
Sandler and Hernangómez share an impressive chemistry. A connection similar to Jerry Maguire‘s Jerry and his client Rod Tidwell appear between the two, while Stanley becomes Bo’s hype man – dubbing him “If Scottie Pippen and a wolf had a baby” – and becomes a therapist and father figure to the gifted gamer . Sandler’s penchant for mixing laughter with sorrow is a fitting opportunity to flesh out his superficial character. And Hernangómez, a six-year NBA veteran, is fascinating. Just like the other stars of the basketball world who make cameos; Trae Young, Tobias Harris, Doc Rivers, Kenny Smith, Julius Erving and so on don’t glue the works together à la space jam
but add a welcome realism.
