New movies in three lines: the best and worst of the week #1
Shotgun Wedding, Tar, Jung-E, and M3gan: three-line reviews of some movies you can see in theaters, streaming, and on home-video.
You can find a lot of more or less interesting films in theaters and on streaming platforms. Each week we will select a few to write very short reviews on them in a humorous and lighthearted tone. A useful and practical binder complete with quotes that will stick in Google’s memory.
Shotgun Wedding by Jason Moore
Just think what a coincidence: I think I know the only person in the world who would like this film, which I got to see in advance:
My Mother.
Shotgun Wedding by Jason Moore, out January 27 exclusively on Prime Video.
Todd Field’s Tar
There would seem to be two truths about cinema:
- When James Cameron makes a movie, it grosses two billion ( Avatar 2 review here)
- When Todd Field makes a movie, he gets into the Oscars (here all the 2023 Oscar nominees)
Great work, complex, about today and about us, not only remarkable for the performance of Cate Blanchett (she reminded me a lot of a film I’m obsessed with, ‘I’m not there’: she will almost certainly win an Oscar, but I still prefer Ana de Armas’ phony blonde – here the review of Blonde) but also for building a world from her and around her.
Jung_E by Yeon Sang-ho
Yeon Sang-ho fails in the miracle of renewing, after the zombie movie with the “Train to Busan” saga and animation with “The King of Pigs” and “The Fake,” even science fiction. His new work, Jung-E, which has been available on Netflix for a few days, is a “Ghost in the Shell” for simple folks that will be remembered mainly as a farewell to Kang Soo-yeon, who passed away last May at only 55 years old
Advice: overlook
M3gan by Gerard Johnstone
It would have been by far a more interesting film with more to say about the state of horror today if they had set it up this way:
Gerard Johnstone’s M3GAN, currently showing in theaters.
