It happens every year: The film festival ends and a buttload of movies blast into theatres. So many movies. Here they are, reviewed in just six words apiece!
The Age of Shadows: Korean thriller with some great moments.
Command and Control: Nuclear doc is our last warning.
The Dressmaker: Messy Australian drama wastes Kate Winslet. [Rad]
Finding Altamira: Hugh Hudson’s latest! (Hugh Hudson lives?)
The Girl King: Silly historical drama wastes entire cast.
It’s Only the End of the World: Xavier Dolan wastes all our time.
Kicks: Kid loses sneakers, kid seeks revenge. [Rad]
The Magnificent Seven: Unnecessary Western remake ain’t too bad.
Moments of Clarity: Indie comedy mistakes whimsy for substance.
Queen of Katwe: Disney’s latest and most shamelessly manipulative.
Storks: Andy Samberg as a CG bird? Okay. [Rad]
Transpecos: Border-patrol drama with Young Neil!
Aaaand that’s everything. Phew! Now to spend the weekend cramming for my JFL 42 ComedyCon In Conversation with Dan Freaking Harmon on Monday evening. (Passes still available!) Oh, except for noon on Sunday, when I’ll be at the Word on the Street festival at Harbourfront. Come by the NOW booth and say hi, why don’t you?
