SEPTEMBER 2024 Movie Releases 🍿🎬:

Here are the big name film releases coming out for September!

[cantsayidont]

Some recent movies of little note:

DAY SHIFT (2022): Wearyingly bad action comedy about a down-on-his-luck L.A. pool cleaner, Bud Jablonski (Jamie Foxx), who's secretly a vampire hunter. Feels like a 10- or 15-year-old spec script that somehow got dusted off for a fading star who used to be a big shot, full of tired cliches, unfunny shtick, and wink-and-nudge references to Foxx's earlier film roles (which would be annoying even if this weren't one of his worst performances since the '90s). The action is slightly less exciting than watching someone else play RESIDENT EVIL, and when you see a movie use CGI blood for vampire tears, you know you're scraping the bottom of the barrel. CONTAINS LESBIANS? No, and it doesn't much like women in general. VERDICT: Strictly from hunger. If you're in the mood for this kind of thing, try ABIGAIL, which is almost as dumb, but not nearly as stale.

JEJÍ TĚLO (HER BODY) (2023): Uninspired dramatization of the life of former Czech Olympian Andrea Absolonová (Natália Germáni), a high-diving champion who was forced to retire in 1999 after a spinal injury and built a brief but successful second career as a porn star. It's an unusual story weakly executed, marred by Germáni's frosty, distant performance and the script's strange reluctance to get into Absolonová's head or examine what she got out of being in porn (which the film suggests she sought out fairly deliberately). The film could have drawn some specific connections between her athletic career and her later work as an adult model and actress, but it mostly doesn't bother, and the only point in which it seems to take any interest is her strained relationship with her parents and younger sister, which is presented in such a detached way that its emotional impact is nil. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Only some very brief performative bits from her films. VERDICT: Won't tell you anything about Absolonová that you couldn't get from her Wikipedia entry.

OMNI LOOP (2024): Teeth-gnashingly awful sci-fi parable about a dying physics professor, Zoya Lowe (Mary-Louise Parker), who's spent most of her life in a series of time loops, using a bottle of mysterious pills that let her reset her time to five days in the past. With only five days left to live, she enlists a young lab worker named Paula Campos (Ayo Edebiri) to help her figure out how the pills work so she can travel further back in time and fix her own life, no matter how many resets it takes. Parker is unendurably grating (in about the same manner as Rashida Jones in the terrible A24 streaming show SUNNY), the premise is cumbersomely handled (with part of the plot hinging on a jarring contrivance — the "nanoscopic man" — that has nothing to do with the time travel conceit), and the story ultimately collapses into intensely reactionary greeting card sentimentality whose thesis is that women are incapable of intellectual accomplishment without cheating and should instead accept their Womanly Duty™ to Home and Family™. Edebiri tries hard, but the story never stops treating Paula as an accessory. The conceptually similar THE EDGE OF TOMORROW at least has Emily Blunt's biceps to console you through its weaker moments. CONTAINS LESBIANS? No. VERDICT: The kind of sci-fi story that makes a compelling case for sending all sci-fi (and fantasy) writers to the gulag, beginning with writer-director Bernardo Britto.

SUBSERVIENCE (2024): If you walked away from M3GAN (2022) thinking it would've been the perfect movie if only someone had fucked the robot, this dreary new sci-fi/horror thriller has got you covered: In the near future, blue-collar husband Nick (Michele Morrone) buys a sexy domestic robot (Megan Fox) to keep house while his sick, possibly dying wife (Madeline Zima) is in the hospital; inevitably, Nick fucks the robot, who soon reveals herself as a homicidal menace. Here and there, there's a hint that the script could've done something at least momentarily interesting with this premise, but all you get is a predictable mashup of FATAL ATTRACTION and THE TERMINATOR. CONTAINS LESBIANS? If only. VERDICT: Even diehard Megan Fox fans can do better elsewhere.

WYNONNA EARP: VENGEANCE (2024): Unnecessary, somewhat lazy feature-format revival of the 2016–2021 TV show, returning the titular descendant of Wyatt Earp (Melanie Scrofano), her magical demon-slaying revolver, her two-centuries-old boyfriend Doc Holliday (Tim Rozon), her younger sister Waverly (Dominique Provost-Chalkley, now with fetching short hair and more tattoos than I recall their having before), and Waverly's wife Nicole Haught (Katherine Barrell) to fight one more demon who has ties to Wynonna's unhappy past. Produced for Tubi, the movie has more profanity than the episodic series, but neither the plot nor the characters will make much sense if you're not already a fan. Even if you are, VENGEANCE feels pretty pointless, as the series finale already gave the characters a reasonably satisfactory sendoff, and this reunion makes a weak case for a relaunch. CONTAINS LESBIANS: Indeed, although Waverly now describes herself as pansexual. VERDICT: Inessential even for fans, although if you've nothing else to watch, you could do worse.

The Weekly Gravy #209

Uglies (2024) – *½ Not much links this film with the next one in this article, except that I should’ve seen that film in 2008, and this film should’ve been made in 2008. I could be cheeky and note that the latter film features electrical torture and a character diving into feces, comparing that to the experience of watching this film, but it’s not quite that bad, and in fact, I had a pretty good…
