From our review:

Like other movies in the high school subgenre mean girls, take revenge focuses on intricate social conspiracies and vicious folk cliques. But it’s not derivative or cliché: instead, it’s a natural progression of this type of film for 2022. Some parts of high school are constants, but youth culture is evolving quickly, so teen films — particularly those that adapt to or pay homage to older ones Material – Danger of feeling outdated. take revenge dodges the curse because Robinson and co-writer Celeste Ballard cleverly update certain plot points.

Three thousand years of longing

Where to see: Can be rented for $19.99 Amazon, Apple, vudu

Based on the 1994 book by AS Byatt The Djinn in the Eye of the NightingaleGeorge Millers Three thousand years of longing revolves around dr. Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton), a scholar of myth and tale, who inexplicably uncorks a Djinn (Idris Elba) from a bottle in which he has been imprisoned for the past hundred years. Bound to Alithea until he grants three of her wishes, the Djinn tells her three stories from his three thousand year captivity, each telling a tale of loss, longing, betrayal, and love.

From our review:

There are films that change the air you breathe after you see them because a motif from the score is repeated in your head and the color of the world outside of the cinema doesn’t quite match what was seen on screen . Three thousand years of longing is one of those films, a story about stories – a tense genre that tends to be self-important – that’s not just interested in its magic as a cloying, unifying force. You are more powerful than that. More dangerous than that. And it turns out there are few more satisfying ways to explore this than to watch two people who think they know everything there is to know about stories and try to guess how this ends.

Revenge

Where to see: Available for streaming peacock

BJ Novak holds up a phone to record Boyd Holbrook's voice on Vengeance

BJ Novak brings the podcast-style mystery to the big screen in his directorial debut, starring a New York-based journalist who travels to Texas to investigate a disappearance.

From our review:

The film regularly reminds audiences that guns and fast food are an important part of American life for the Texas crowd. The fact that Ben himself is aware of his possible East Coast condescension adds another layer – and the fact that he’s going for it anyway. But those extra layers don’t necessarily add to the experience of watching the film. Ultimately, Revenge is starting to feel a bit like a bloated meme tracing the pipeline from gifted kid to compromised homicide detective.

Break

Where to see: Can be rented for $19.99 Amazon, Apple, vudu

John Boyega stars in the thriller Break as Brian Brown-Easley, a Marine Corps veteran who threatens to blow up a bank in Wells Fargo to get money owed to him by Veterans Affairs.

Inspired by a true story, Break Also, the late Michael K. Williams stars in one of his final roles as Eli Bernard, a police officer sympathetic to Brown-Easley’s plight and desperate to de-escalate the hostage situation.

Good night mom

Where to see: Available for streaming Prime video

Naomi Watts stars in the 2022 American remake of Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala’s 2014 psychological horror film Good night mom. The film is about twins who, after arriving at their mother’s remote country home and discovering her face covered in bandages, suspect that this woman is not their mother.

From our review:

When the English language remake was announced Good night mom, the biggest question that emerged was whether the new film would be as tough and end as nihilistic as the original. Not only does the remake lack the courage to even approach the original film in terms of on-screen horror and pain, it also doesn’t really function as a standalone film.

In the new version, Naomi Watts plays the titular mom. With the English language remakes The ring and Funny Games Under her belt, Watts seemed an easy choice to star in yet another American reboot of an international horror hit. The remake’s flaws aren’t due to its lack of craft or effort – the problems are entirely in the writing and directing.

drive home

Where to see: Available to stream on Netflix

A screenshot from the anime Drifting Home. A group of five young people sit around a low table in a Japanese-style dining room. A sixth youth stands up, all six look at the viewer with surprised expressions. The table is covered with take away boxes.

Hiroyasu IshidasPenguin Highway) latest anime feature drive home revolves around childhood friends Kosuke and Natsume who, after visiting the apartment building they lived in before it was demolished, are transported to another dimension surrounded by a vast ocean. Stranded with their mutual friends, the two must now work together to find a way out of this strange world and back into their own.

From our review:

The handsome animation production by Studio Colorido (Penguin Highway, A mustache removed) does a lot to sell the outlandish premise. Structures shift and break with believable weight, though the driving action is about a building floating through the ocean like a raft. Similarly, the young characters are all drawn with light, smooth lines. Akihiro Nagae’s designs remain down to earth even with the more imaginative characters that appear to the children. The photorealistic background art contrasts modernism with mid-century post-war architecture, but Ishida’s direction is not obsessed with realism. It’s never at odds with the film’s sense of danger when the director infuses broad, sometimes elastic physical comedy into the characters’ interactions with these environments, like when Kosuke daringly uses a makeshift zip line to reach an adjacent floating structure and through the corrugated iron roof falls and bounces off the building like a pinball.

Admit it, Fletch

Where to see: Can be rented for $19.99 Amazon, Apple, vudu

Jon Hamm as Fletch lies in Confess, Fletch shirtless in a hammock

Jon Hamm stars in this reboot of the 1980s comedy series, replacing Chevy Chase as the quick-witted comedic detective.

From our review:

The way Hamm’s revival of the series is getting a half-hearted double release in some theaters and on VOD shows how little faith Miramax has in the project. However, the film says otherwise. It’s fast and hilarious – the kind of comedy that adult moviegoers used to watch far more regularly than they do now. Comedy has fallen out of favor in a film landscape that’s more devoted to Liam Neeson-style revenge films, though Admit it, Fletch is refreshing, not only for the use of comedy, but for the use of Jon Hamm.
