[A.A. Dowd], Over the span of just five years, there were four films—Kick-Ass, Defendor, Special, and the psycho-comedy Super—about ordinary people who decide to fight crime in silly homemade costumes. [Katie Rife], Because many of the best jokes in The Interview have nothing to do with North Korea, it’s worth recapping the ancillary mayhem that the Sony hackers would have suppressed. Written by an all-female writing team—Susanna Fogel, Emily Halpern, Sarah Haskins and Katie Silberman—it centers on life-long besties Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein) as they attempt to party one time before the end of high school. [Ignatiy Vishnevetsky], Finally, millennials have a Heathers of their very own. Her disapproving mother Marion (Julie Walters) wants Rose-Lynn to give up her dream of becoming a country (not “country and western”) singer. It’s a sadly rare thing: a sweet, madly inventive, totally mainstream romantic comedy, buoyed by inspired jolts of comic violence (some of them provided by J.K. Simmons as another wedding guest with a very big bone to pick with Nyles). Although it’s not exactly a criminally neglected masterpiece, this picture does stand a good chance of being a flop that gets an Ishtar/Hudson Hawk-style reassessment in the decades to come. Though it uses real locations from the city, Riley’s version depends less on particular landmarks or geography than the filmmaker’s eye for which quotidian details can be nudged into the realm of absurdity—and how to pull them back down to the ground. It sounds like a horror movie — but it's a 100% true story. All of that 35mm footage has been digitally restored and remastered up to 4K resolution. The improvisation and dead-pan delivery from Jane Lynch, Bob Balaban, Jennifer Coolidge, Michael McKean and especially Fred Willard as the sports announcer who knows nothing about the subject he’s paid to talk about, elevate the medium by giving surprising dimension to their characters. The flip side, of course, is that monogamy can leave you feeling as stuck as the characters, living the same day over and over again, with only your significant other for company. [Sam Adams], Greener Grass isn’t quite at the level of Wet Hot American Summer, but its cracked sensibility has far more artistic ambition than the average cringe-fest. (Call it “The Diablo Cody Threshold.”) Yet coming at the end of the ’80s, Heathers still stands out for questioning the prevailing stereotypes of teen movies rather than accepting them as a given.
says, “but neither is blowing up a whole school.” [Scott Tobias], High-Rise, a darkly funny adaptation by cult English director Ben Wheatley (Kill List, A Field In England) of the J.G. Here's how to fix them so you can get back to your show. Liu focuses on his hometown friends and tracks their growth and how it the events of their youth set the course for their future. Soon, the CIA turns up with a request that the two assassinate him. And in between all the uncomfortable conversations and silences is a deceptively upbeat story of two men who barely know each other trying to go on an old-fashioned adventure in a world of stuffed shirts, red tape, and malfunctioning gadgets. New on Amazon Prime Video in October 2020. The more inane his rambling gets, the harder it is to keep from laughing. Director Bing Liu took footage shot over the course of 12 years and distilled it down into a feature length documentary. Mockumentaries, or fictional shows that mimic reality TV, have made a killing in the last 20 years of television. That period includes some of the Beatles’ most memorable shows, taking the band from their early days playing gigs at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, all the way up to their 1966 concert in San Francisco. is mistaking social media likes for actual human connection—something she sorely lacks—and so it doesn’t take long for her to zero in on a new obsession, faux-hemian “influencer” Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen). A larky call lands them an interview with Kim Jong-un (Veep’s Randall Park, a worthy foil to his better-known co-stars), supposedly a Skylark superfan.
Mockumentaries, or fake documentaries, can cover everything from drama to horror, relying on the documentary approach to subvert such subject matter. [Nathan Rabin], So many movies perform grotesque contortions (or extraordinary acts of denial) to avoid showing their characters at work, at least if their jobs aren’t cop, lawyer, or secret agent. But Almodóvar worked with her first, and he knows that there’s much more to her than her looks. SOMEHOW a man impersonates a boy who had gone missing three years prior, and lives with them for six goddamn months until an investigator and fingerprints prove that this man is just an imposter. It’s a funny, compelling look at a man determined to go his own way, even if his choices make no sense to the rest of the world. Taking its title from a superb, more or less unrelated short that Defa directed in 2014, the movie follows several stories, which are set over the course of a single day but don’t always overlap. Wilde and company draw from a whimsical, rainbow palate to explore friendship at diverging roads.
Before we jump in, let me include the standard disclaimer that I always start that Netflix comedy list with. That’s a brave choice that meets the moment perhaps better than the filmmakers anticipated. Franco stars as Dave Skylark, the foppish, airheaded host of a celebrity gossip program. [A.A. Dowd], Ingrid Goes West begins in media res, as Ingrid Thorburn (Aubry Plaza), her face stained with tears and her long dress covered with a dirty oversize sweatshirt, barges into a wedding to pepper-spray the bride, a woman we later find out she barely even knows. Plus, "The Great," starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult, was recently added.

This is key. Band Of Misfits, the feature that returns Aardman to theatrical stop-motion after the CGI of Arthur Christmas and Flushed Away. It’s not a precise imitation: However hard the wardrobe and makeup teams have worked to deglamorize this glamorous Hollywood star, she still doesn’t look much like the person she’s playing—a truth reinforced by the obligatory, closing-credits appearance by the real Harding, conquering the ice in archival footage. It’s an unconventional romance in that most of the characters never commit to the relationships or infidelities we expect them to. Lurching through the aftermath of a divorce, Danny shows up at Trevor’s wanting to get into shape, writes a check for two years’ worth of personal training with Kat, and buys himself a franchise gym’s worth of exercise equipment.
