Every year around this time, we are reminded that the last weekend in August is cinema’s equivalent of The Bad Place, with studios dumping their garbage because no one goes to the movies over Labour Day. But The Happytime Murders and Little Italy came out last week, so the worst is actually behind us! Hooray!
Anyway, here’s what’s opening. Longer version is online at NOW.
Cardinals: Mom’s out of prison. Daughters deal. [Susan]
Far from the Tree: “Ordinary” parents raise “different” children. Extraordinarily.
Juliet, Naked: Hawke, Byrne, Hornby. Could be worse [Rad]
Kin: It’s Laserblast without the aliens, right?
The Little Stranger: Creepy old house hides secrets, lies.
Searching: John Cho hits SEND, looks worried.
Trench 11: Holy crap! WWI had rage zombies!
Oh, and I did a fun thing about the various Jack Ryans over the decades, up to and including John Krasinski. Enjoy it, and then watch The Hunt for Red October again because you know you want to.
Well, we knew there were German military zombies already, didn’t we? WWII’s Nazi zombies from Dead Snow had to come from somewhere.
