The Weekend Warrior 11/24/21 - ENCANTO, HOUSE OF GUCCI, RESIDENT EVIL, SUMMIT OF THE GODS, LICORICE PIZZA, THE HUMANS, HAWKEYE, and More!

Well, this is gonna be fun. With Thursday being Thanksgiving, that means I need to try to get this column done before then, and that’s even bearing in mind how tough it’s been to get this column done by Thursdays. You should be reading this on Wednesday unless something has gone horribly, horribly wrong, which could be the case. (Or on Tuesday, cause I took Monday night off to work on this. Huzzah!)

In case you haven’t been reading my Weekend Warrior columns for 20 years, you probably won’t understand why I hate Thanksgiving so much, particularly when it comes to the box office. In the pre-COVID times, it was a fairly hearty time for movie business, but it was also hard to predict which movies would be released Wednesday and then be dead by the weekend. Then, other movies would actually do huge business on the Black Friday after Thanksgiving since most people are off, a lot of them are doing their early holiday shopping, and families end up going to the movies together, which gives Friday a huge bump for the weekend. This generally helps family and holiday films the most, which is why Walt Disney continues to be the Thanksgiving weekend champ. Last year was obviously an exception.

First up, we have the latest from Walt Disney Pictures. In fact, ENCANTO (Disney Animation) is Walt Disney Pictures Animation’s 60th animated feature with, presumably, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves being the first. Set in the rural Colombian village of Encanto, this is about a young girl named Mirabel Madrigal (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz from In the Heights) whose family is well-known for their “gifts” or powers that help them aid and defend their community. For instance, Mirabel’s sister Luisa (voiced by Jessica Darrow) has great strength, while her other sister, Isabela (Diane Gurrero) can make plant life and flowers grow anywhere. So essentially, it’s like a LatinX Fantastic Four but actually a much, bigger family all with powers… except Mirabel, who was never given a gift.

Encanto is directed by Byron Howard and co-directed and co-written by Jared Bush both from Zootopia, a pretty big Disney animated hit, and co-directed and co-written by Charise Castro Smith, the first Latina filmmaker to helm a Disney animated movie. Actually, a lot of attention is being put on Ms. Castro Smith and rightfully so, and having a very LatinX-targeted film like this will definitely help bring in LatinX families, since that’s a demographic that makes up a very large part of the moviegoing demographic.

More importantly, this is an animated movie with songs and music with the majority of the former penned by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who seriously is so close to adding an Oscar to his EGOT, he can probably taste it. I mean, besides this movie and the songs he wrote for Netflix’s Vivo (formerly Sony Pictures Animation), he also finally got his adaptation of In the Heights out there, and maybe there’s an original song in there, too? Who knows? Oh, yeah, there’s also Tick Tick… BOOM! On Netflix, Miranda’s directorial debut. But Miranda certainly is very popular with Hamilton back on Broadway and his music being everywhere. I’ll be curious if any of the songs from Encanto breakout and hit ala “Let It Go” from Frozen. (See my review below for more on that.)

One key thing about the movie is that it’s also Disney’s first non-Fox animated theatrical release since the Pixar movie, Onward, because Pixar’s last two movies, Soul and Luca were thrown onto the Disney+ streamer. This may not be a big deal to some who were perfectly happy to get those movies as part of their Disney+ subscription, but it’s a big deal to theaters and with kids getting vaccinated very quickly, there’s a chance that families will pick this as their weekend moviegoing choice. The fact that the movie is getting positively GLOWING reviews doesn’t hurt either.

The big question is how the opening week box office for Encanto will be split between Weds (including Tuesday previews), Thanksgiving and the three-day weekend. I expect that Weds and Friday will be two big days for the movie with maybe $12 or 13 million made through Thanksgiving and then another $28 to 35 million being made over the weekend, which isn’t a lot compared to Disney’s Thanksgiving records, but it’s pretty damn good for the pandemic

Mini-Review: I feel like I should preface this review by admitting that I have gotten fairly cynical about animated movies, and particularly those from Disney and its subsidiaries, because they no longer seem to be about fun entertainment and more about one message or another. While I fully get behind these animated features being used to introduce young viewers to other cultures, like the Colombian traditions of Encanto, there is a certain point where it’s hard not to think that the creators are losing sight of that audience in favor of pushing an agenda.

My biggest issue with the movie is that it took me quite a long time to warm up to the character of Mirabel, because I found Beatriz’s performance to be quite strident, not just from her voice performance but also her singing in some ways, which I didn’t find to be a problem with In the Heights. (I guess a lot of that comes from the directors and sound team>) in general, the voice performances aren’t that great, but I did enjoy the film’s humor and how the various family members’ gifts are used in that sense.

Where the movie really picks up is where John Leguizamo shows up to voice Bruno, the black sheep of the Madrigal family who vanished mysteriously many years earlier, and that’s really where the movie started winning me over. The filmmakers also have a good sense of pacing and being able to mix the music in with the action and comedy and drama.

Overall, Encanto may not be the best Disney animated movie, but I ultimately enjoyed it more than expected, and definitely more than Pixar’s Luca and Netflix’s Vivo, the other movie for which Lin-Manuel Miranda did the music. Encanto should sufficiently entertain any and all members of the family, making it a solid holiday film choice.

Rating: 8/10

Next up, we have the second movie of the year from director Sir Ridley Scott, HOUSE OF GUCCI (MGM), which takes a look at the fashion empire of the Gucci family in the ‘70s and ‘80s, as it was infiltrated by Patrizia Reggiani (as played by Lady Gaga), who charms and then seduces Adam Driver’s Maurizio Gucci, the heir to that empire. The movie also stars Jeremy Irons as Maurizio’s father Rodolfo Gucci, Al Pacino as his uncle Aldo, and an unrecognizable Jared Leto as his cousin Paolo, all of whom are involved in fashion or design in some way. And I’m going to take it all as truth cause I know nothing about “Gucci” other than its a name and a brand and something to do with fashion.

There’s a lot of interest in the movie due to Lady Gaga and her fanbase, as well as interest in Scott’s telling of the Gucci story, which involved family squabbles and eventually murder. Since I’m not into fashion at all, I kind of get this story confused with that of Gianni Versace, which told as part of Ryan Murphy’s American Crime Story on FX a few years back. (I didn’t see that.) The movie’s male cast is certainly respectable, although I feel it’s been a while since we’ve seen anything starring Irons or Pacino really break out, although Leto at least has his breakthrough role as the Joker in Suicide Squad as a box office hit that can be at least partially attributed to him, maybe? Either way, Leto has been making movies longer than Driver and appearing in films like David Fincher’s Panic Room, Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream, and even American Psycho opposite Christian Bale.

It’s hard to imagine any of them men have even half the draw of Gaga, who starring role in Bradley Cooper’s A Star is Born in 2018 helped take that movie to a domestic gross of $215 million, and either Oscar nominations, two for Gaga, of which she won one for the song “Shallow” which she co-wrote. Other than that, I really don’t know what else could possibly get people into theaters.

Reviews were held until this past Monday, which is not a good sign of confidence from MGM, a studio one expects is pushing Gucci for awards, but maybe it’s just for Gaga or maybe Leto or some of the crafts like makeup and costumes. As expected, reviews are generally MIXED at best with some people actively hating the movie and others just gushing over Lady Gaga.

The thing is that those who are really interested in seeing the movie might go out on Weds (or Tuesday night) to see it and maybe it’ll still have some business on the weekend, but House of Gucci is not exactly the kind of movie you want to take your family to see, even though Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, also about a squabbling family, did quite well over the Thanksgiving weekend, though that was pre-pandemic, of course. If people rush out and help House of Gucci bring in $4 to 5 million in its first two days (i.e. more than The Last Duel made in its opening weekend), then it should be good for another $13 to 14 million over the three-day weekend. That would add up to under $20 million in its first five days, though, and then we’ll have to see if it can make more than $50 million total, which would require getting some early awards love in early December.

Incidentally, I spoke briefly with frequent Ridley Scott collaborators, Composer Harry Gregson-Williams and Cinematographer Dariusz Wolski (for both Gucci and The Last Duel), and both those interviews will run on Below the Line, probably sometime in the next month.

Maxi-Review: As a long-time Ridley Scott fan and/or apologist, it excites me to no end that the master filmmaker has a second movie out this year, even if House of Gucci deals with a subject matter that I literally cannot give two shits for. I’ve heard the name “Gucci.” I know it’s involved with the kind of high fashion that I have less than zero interest in, so for me, the movie is more about the crafts and performances and whether they can keep me interested enough in a movie that’s over 2 and a half hours long. (Seriously?!)

The story is relatively simple despite all its intricacies. Lady Gaga plays Patrizia Reggiani, the daughter of a man who runs a trucking company, but at a party, she meets Adam Driver’s Maurizio Gucci, and the dollar signs go KACHING in her eyes, because if she can seduce this rich but bashful bachelor, she’ll have it made. Of course, Maurizio’s father Rodolfo Gucci (Jeremy Irons) disapproves of Patrizia and actually disowns his son, who goes off to live a life with his hot new wife. Maurizio’s uncle Aldo (Al Pacino) connects more with Patrizia and he treats Mauricio like the son he never had, which doesn’t go over well with Jared Leto’s Paolo, Aldo’s eccentric actual son who is following his father into the design business.

So yeah, a lot of the movie is about these family dynamics, but it’s set amidst a backdrop of the high-class and luxurious lifestyle of what it’s about to be a Gucci. Even so, the movie is fairly episodic as it covers a number of decades and the familial relationships bend and sway, get better then get worse. Aldo ends up in jail, Rodolfo eventually dies, and amidst it all, Patrizia is still scheming and leveraging the family so that she can get a big chunk of the family fortune, despite being constantly reminded by everyone named “Gucci” that “she’s not really a Gucci.”

Everyone loves Lady Gaga. I’m just not a fan and while I thought she was very good in A Star is Born, here she’s given way too much to try to handle without really having the support of her co-stars. Driver gives such a low-key emotionless performance so she can’t get much help there, and Salma Hayak, who plays Patrizia’s spiritual advisor, just seems to be travelling the same path of over-emoting, although at least her bad accent is her own.

Going back to my status as a Ridley Scott apologist, he works with a lot of the same team he’s done so on many of his other recent movies, and while things like Prometheus and Alien: Covenant were probably more my bag, this one is probably more in line with All in the Money in the World, maybe because it also involves wealth and crime and things like that. I generally like the characters and performances in this one better, particularly Leto and Pacino, who are particularly hilarious, especially in the scenes they share. Some critics have taken issue with the bad Italian accents, and I semi-agree with some of them, but that may actually keep the movie from seeming too grimly serious, which may have hurt All the Money in the World.

What I especially like about the beginning of the movie is how it allows Scott to play further into classic Italian cinema like the movies of Fellini and such, and it also allows his music supervisor to throw in lots of great ‘70s and ‘80s disco tracks. So yeah, I’m definitely a fan of that aspect of the movie, but still, part of me feels that this could have been better with a stronger script or performances.

House of Gucci is about half a good movie and with proper editing, it definitely would have been better. I just couldn’t get past Lady Gaga’s hackneyed and erratic performance, which is so over the top and so all over the place, that it detracted from my enjoyment. This isn’t awful, but there’s just no way around the fact that this would have been a much better movie in the hands of Martin Scorsese.

Rating: 7/10

In some ways, this week’s third wide release, RESIDENT EVIL: WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY (Sony/Screen Gems), probably meets my own personal interests more than the other two, since I have played some of the video games on which this is based. As you might expect from the title, this installment of the series is a prequel and a bit of a reboot from 45 Meters Down and 45 Meters Down Uncaged director Johannes Roberts. Those movies were surprise hits in the States with the first movie opening with $11.2 million in June 2017 and making $44 million in North America and $18 million overseas. That really isn’t bad when you consider its price tag of $5.3 million to make. It sequel opened two years later with $8.4 million and made only $22.3 million domestically, and it had a much bigger production budget of $12 million, still not terrible.

One has to have a little sympathy for Roberts since Resident Evil was already made into a six-picture franchise by Paul WS Anderson (vs. Paul W. Anderson, who we discuss below), starring Milla Jovovich. Those six movies cost $292.5 million under the Clive Culpepper era of Screen Gems, but they grossed $1.2 million worldwide, so that’s a million in profits? Oddly, the first movie only opened with $17.7 million on a $35 million budget, but international helped it to be profitable with a worldwide gross of $104 million. That was in March 2002, but by the time Anderson’s final film, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, was released in 2017 after a five-year gap, it only opened with $13.6 million in North America … and, well, $314 million worldwide, so can we say it altogether? FUCK AMERICA!

Still, it was time for a change and a reboot and joining Roberts on this journey are actors Kaya Scodelario (The Maze Runner) and Robbie Amell (Arrow) as Claire and Chris Redfield, and Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp) as Jill Valentine, all three very popular characters from the games. But that right there is some heavy-duty genre casting, especially Amell, considering the popularity and fanbase of the CW’s “Arrowverse.” The movie also stars Neil McDonough, Avan Jogia, Donal Logue, Tom Hopper, and my absolute favorite, Marina Mazepa, who was the amazing physical creature performer in James Wan’s Malignant! She plays Lisa Trevor, one of the popular characters from the game we have yet to see in the movies.

And yet, this is the problem with opening a movie like this over Thanksgiving weekend, and it’s something we’ve seen so many times before over the holiday. A movie like Resident Evil will primarily be targeting guys of a certain age, because it’s genre/horror but also because it’s based on a video game. We can look at something like the Hitman movie, which opened over Thanksgiving in 2007. It made $4.4 million its opening day, had a slight bump up on Friday and Saturday and ended up with $21 million in its first five days. It barely made twice that in its entire domestic theatrical run. Oddly, 2009’s Ninja Assassin performed similarly for Warner Bros, making almost the exact same amount. Other genre films have performed better over Thanksgiving, such as M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable ($46 million five-day) and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s End of Days ($31.8 million), but those were much earlier. Jason Statham’s Transporter 3 ended up with $18 million over the five-days and $31.7 million total. The point is that these movies ended up being fairly frontloaded and true fans will likely go out to see them on Tuesday might or Weds. rather than on the weekend.

Unlike some of Paul Anderson’s Resident Evil movies, Sony did screen this one for critics I think, and I’ll be curious to see how it fares once the embargo is up on Monday night. I myself saw it but ended up not reviewing just ‘cause I’ve had way too much on my mind, but I did like it and thought Roberts did a great job taking stuff from the video game and incorporating it into a spooky and cool action-horror hybrid, which leans more on the horror side of things.

Something even more curious is that Sony is only releasing the movie into roughly 2,600 theaters, which is much less than the other wide releases. As mentioned, due to the nature of the movie, fans are more likely to rush out early, especially since this is having screenings on Monday night as well as starting fairly early with screenings on Tuesday. This is although its official release date is on Wednesday, but the numbers from earlier screenings will be dumped into the Weds number, making it even MORE frontloaded. I think it could make as much as $4 million but then it will drop on Thursday, and I’ll be shocked if it makes more than $10 million over the three-day weekend. With Ghostbusters: Afterlife holding strong, that puts it in fourth place, at very best.

You can read my interview with Roberts over at Below the Line. (It’ll be live after noon Eastern on Tuesday.)

Also opening in roughly 600 theaters is the Leslie Small-directed FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY (Freestyle Releasing), which I know very little about, actually almost nothing, but it stars Keri Hilson, Katt Williams, and Jason Mitchell, and it seems to involve a single mother who returns to a life of crime in order to protect her daughter. In fact, I’m just gonna link you to the movie’s IMDb page, because that will give you more of an idea what the movie is about than anything I can tell you. Despite this being released fairly wide, I don’t think anyone really knows of its existence, and I’ll be fairly shocked if this makes more than a million this weekend

A couple other movies expanding wide or wider this week include Focus Features’ Belfast, which should be in 1,000 or more theaters starting today, and Sony Pictures Classics’ doc Julia, my “Chosen One” from a few weeks back, which probably will be in 500 to 600 theaters. I’m not sure either of these will get into the top 10 or back into it, as is the case with Belfast.

These are all just for the three-day portion of the weekend, just cause I don’t feel like doing the whole 3-day/5-day breakdown I normally would do:

1. Encanto (Walt Disney Animation - $33.5 million N/A

2. Ghostbusters: Afterlife (Sony) - $28.5 million -35%

3. House of Gucci (MGM) - $13.5 million N/A

4. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (Sony/Screen Gems) - $9 million N/A

5. Eternals (Marvel/Disney) - $8.3 million -25%

6. Clifford The Big Red Dog (Paramount) - $5.5 million -32%

7. King Richard (Warner Bros.) - $4.3 million -20%

8. Dune (Warner Bros.) - $2.2 million -32%

9. No Time to Die (MGM) - $2.1 million -24%

10. Venom: Let There Be Carnage (Sony) - $1.9 million -35%

This week’s “Chosen One” is THE SUMMIT OF THE GODS (Netflix), Patrick Imbert’s amazing animated film about a Japanese journalist named Fukamachi Makoto, who becomes fascinaetd with the stories of George Mallory and his companion Andrew Irvine being the first men to scale Everest in 1924, something that can only be proven by developing the film in a small Kodak camera found nearly 70 years later by an outcast climber named Habu Joji, who has been believed missing for years. This was actually adapted from a manga series by Jiro Taniguchi, based on the novel by Baku Yumemakura.

If you remember my review of The Alpinist earlier this year or Free Solo a few years back, you’ll know that I generally love mountain climbing movies, and it doesn’t matter that this one is animated and partially based on a fictionalized Japanese manga, it’s still about mountain climbing. In fact, this is storytelling at its finest, as director Patrick Imbert, who won France’s César for his animated feature, The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales, finds a good way to tell this story of two men on a search for truth and also redemption.

Fukamachi is obsessed with learning the truth about whether George Mallory reached the summit before he died or died on his way there, while Habu Joji is trying to recover from a horrible incident that killed a friend and assistant and eventually drove Joji into seclusion. The two men decide to go on a journey to make the dangerous climb of Everest in order to get the answers they so desperately need.

It’s a wonderful story told in such a distinct way that you quickly will forget you’re watching animation (or a foreign film) as you just get absorbed into the story Imbert is telling. Sure, it was a little bothersome (vs. “problematic”) that this film mostly involving Japanese characters and set in Asia had everyone talking in French (with English subtitles) but you quickly get over that.

The animation is great mixing classic anime with photo-realistic settings, and it’s all enhanced by a gorgeous score from Amine Bouhafa, which really is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve heard this year in a particularly great year for film scores.

Netflix will release The Summit of the Gods into select U.S. theaters TODAY, and then in the UK on Friday, but it will then hit Netflix next Tuesday, Nov. 30. Honestly, if you have a chance to see it on the big screen, then make the effort, especially if you enjoy animated pseudo-docs like Waltz with Bashir or next week’s Flea. Summit of the Gods is right up there with both of them in terms of the beauty of the animation and storytelling.

I’m not quite sure if I’ll have my interview with the director up on Below the Line this week but definitely by next week.

Also opening this week is Paul Thomas Anderson’s LICORICE PIZZA (UA Releasing), which gets a limited release on Friday, and then will slowly expand over the course of November before its wide release over Christmas. This is a semi-old-fashioned way of releasing a movie, but it’s something that tends to work, because it allows the movie to build up an audience and buzz in the big movie cities and create even more anticipation elsewhere. (Incidentally, this is what A24 did with Mike Mills’ C’mon C’mon last weekend, and that fared pretty well.) This is actually one of Anderson’s most L.A. movies, if you don’t count Boogie Nights and Magnolia.

This one is set in the ‘70s Valley, and it stars Cooper Hoffman, the son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman (a frequent PTA collaborator), as Gary Valentine, an overly-confident 15-year-old child actor who tries to get the older Alana (Alana Haim from the rock group Haim) to go to dinner with him, but she’s not having any of it. Still, they become friends and business partners as Gary decides to invest in the waterbed craze of the early ‘70s, and we get a movie full of will-they or won’t-they moments. The movie also stars Sean Penn, Bradley Cooper (in a very hilarious role), Tom Waits, and more.

I’ll definitely be curious to see how this one fares as it rolls out across the country, because if you remember, Anderson’s Punch Drunk Love (def. One of my favorites of his) did great in a platform release but then expanded wide and barely did much of anything. Without a known name like Adam Sandler, how can a weird-titled movie like Licorice Pizza do better?

This one I already reviewed for Below the Line, and I thought it was pretty decent -- most critics seem to agree with me.

Stephen Karam adapted his own Tony-winning play THE HUMANS (A24) for the screen, this one involving a family having a Thanksgiving dinner in a downtown Manhattan duplex that’s falling apart, and may be haunted? Okay, maybe I just made the last part up, but it’s kind of funny how much Karam relies on jump scares in a movie that’s essentially a drama. The movie stars Beanie Feldstein and Steve Yuen as a fairly young married couple, whose parents (played by Richard Jenkins and Jayne Houdyshell) come over for the holiday, along with her old sister (Amy Schumer) and her dementia-stricken grandmother (played by June Squibb). It’s a pretty decent ensemble, and while I’m’ not really I’m the best person to review this, having little to no concept of the Broadway hit play (other than the fact that Houdyshell reprises her role, and she’s the only one), I thought this was a pretty decent drama, maybe not quite on par with August Osage County in terms of filmmaking, but this is only Karam’s first film, and he does a decent job with the single location and the set that was built on which to tell this movie about a squabbling family, which I guess has become the theme for Thanksgiving releases between this and House of Gucci.

A movie that I haven’t seen yet, although it’s opening in select cities is THE UNFORGIVABLE (Netflix), starring Sandra Bullock as Ruth Slater, a woman who is just getting out of prison for a violent crime who tries to reenter society even though few are ready to forgive her past. Her only redemption is by finding the estranged younger sister she left behind when put in jail. I’d like to see this. I have no idea when I’ll see it but the way things are going with me and Netflix, I imagine I won’t be seeing it until it’s streaming on December 10 unless I want to pay to see it at one of the NYC theaters where it’s playing. Eh, probably not.

One of the big prize-winning hits from this year’s Cannes is Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s DRIVE MY CAR (Janus Films/Sideshow), which will open at the Film Forum in New York City, and unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to see this yet, but that’s also because it’s three hours long. I guess in Japan, House of Gucci would seem “kinda short,” huh? It stars Hidetoshi Nishijima as stage actor and director Yusuke Kafuku, whose wife died two years earlier unexpectedly. He’s invited to Hiroshima to stage a production of “Uncle Vanay” where he meets Misaki Watari (Toko Miura), a young woman assigned to be his chauffeur, driving him in his red Saab 900. Based on Haruki Murakami’s short story, there’s a lot more to the story in this film and maybe after I watch it, I’ll read up more on it, but for now, I’m just going to say that this will be out at New York’s Film Forum as well as uptown at Film at Lincoln Center, actually today, and as Japan’s Oscar selection, I fully expect it to make it into the Oscar nominations in the International Feature category, and that’s without even seeing it!

Disney+ has some great stuff to watch over the extended Thanksgiving break, including the first two episodes of Marvel Studios’ new HAWKEYE (Disney+) series, starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, which I had the fortune to see already, and I like what I’ve seen. Sure, this isn’t as flashy as some of the previous Disney+ Marvel shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but it’s definitely in the vein of the comics in terms of being a gritty and funny crime-based story (actually more like the Netflix Marvel shows maybe?) with Renner and Steinfeld having some great “buddy comedy” chemistry. It’s also set in New York City during the holidays, so it has a nice connection to how Thanksgiving kicks off the holidays for real, and it should be a fun show to watch with the family this weekend.

Also, a docuseries I’m looking forward to is Peter Jackson’s GET BACK (Disney+), a six-hour series in three parts that cuts together footage of the Beatles recording their final album together in January 1969. I have gotten screeners of this but being six hours long, I doubt I’ll have a chance to watch the whole thing before it debuts on the streamer this Thursday, but I’ve watched a little bit of it… and unfortunately, I’m under embargo until Thursday, so maybe I’ll have more to say about the series next week.

Movies that I just wasn’t able to get to this week ...

WRITING WITH FIRE (Music Box Films) THE SHUROO PROCESS (Gravitas Ventures) AYAR

Next week, the only wide release is an indie called Wolf, being released by Focus Features, and while I have no confidence it will make much of an impact or money, I’ll still have a column to talk about that and the other movies, because there’s a lot of good stuff.

“Batmans Greatest Case”. Detective Comics # 1000. By Tom King, art Tony S. Daniel and Joëlle Jones.

As of April 2019, this is the latest Bat-family photo (disregarding the inconsistencies about the characters current suits and whereabouts and relationships...) But have you seen the earlier Bat-family portraits – and do you know all the people Batman has had as partners or protégés?

Art by Dick Giordano (late 1960s or 1970s´).

Art by Sheldon Moldoff (early 1960s).

(The date mentioned in the following list is the character’s first appearance in DC, it’s not always in connection with Batman.)

Alfred Beagle/Pennyworth. April 1943. 

Alfred’s first surname was Beagle. That Alfred was later explained as the Alfred of Earth-Two, the universe of the DC Golden age stories (though we have seen Golden age stories being canon in the main DC universe, too). On Earth-Two, Bruce and Selina married and had a daughter, Helena. Dick continued as Robin as an adult. Alfred was first called Pennyworth in November 1969.

”Here comes Alfred.” Batman vol 1 # 16. By Don Cameron, art Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson, George Roussos. 

Nightwing vol 2 # 86. By Devin Grayson, art Patrick Zircher, Andy Owens, Sean Parsons. 

Dinah Drake Lance/Laurel Lance (Black Canary). August 1947.

Barbara Gordon (Batgirl, Oracle). January 1967. 

Detective Comics # 359. By Gardner Fox, cover art Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson, Ira Schnapp.

The full ensemble cast of Maggie Gyllenhaal’s star-studded drama “The Lost Daughter” has come into focus, as the film has just successfully wrapped production in Greece.

9 Straight-to-Streaming Blockbusters to Watch While You Wait for Tenet's Release

Once upon a time, movie fans had a lot to look forward to in the way of summer 2020 theatrical releases. The twenty-fifth James Bond flick No Time to Die was set to kick things off in April, and in May, Scarlett Johnasson's overdue MCU standalone film Black Widow and the next Fast and Furious flick F9 were scheduled to drop. Then, Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman 1984 was scheduled to hit theaters in June, and the long-awaited Top Gun: Maverick was expected the same month. And of course Christopher Nolan's Tenet, seemingly the last hope for some semblance of a blockbuster this year, continues to get pushed back indefinitely. That's just a small sample of the major movies which were delayed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

The silver lining of social distancing was that there was already a bounty of streaming and video-on-demand options on the way — and  many which pivoted to streaming debuts amid the shutdowns — to provide us all more than enough great movie options to keep audiences entertained in our own  at-home theaters.

Stay home and stay safe with these cineplex-quality films that are streaming on popular streaming services right now.

Spike Lee's latest joint, Da 5 Bloods, hit Netflix smack dab in the middle of nationwide protests over the murder of George Floyd, and, as with most of his filmography, the movie offers a timely, scathing rebuke of the history of America's treatment of Black people — this time, through the lens of the "bloods," Black soldiers who fought on the front lines in Vietnam. The story's action is carried forward by the decades-later reunion of one platoon, as they journey back to recover their lost leader's remains and the pile of gold they found and stowed away on the battlefield. But the takeaway from the pic — apart from the fact that Delroy Lindo delivers a tour-de-force performance — is that it sheds light on another oft-unrecognized sacrifice and segment of our nation's history.x96 tv box

If not a Netflix Original by design, Sam Hargrave's Extraction, a  Chris Hemsworth-led action pic, would've easily made the marquee of the local cineplex in a normal year. Not since  The Haunting of Hill House have we seen such an impressive extended single-take shot, and Hemsworth's turn as a disillusioned mercenary who reluctantly accepts an assignment to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned drug lord from a vicious rival is extremely watchable if you're looking to dig into a tub of popcorn and have a good time. Chances are, you'll be left wanting much more after the credits roll, and the good news is that Extraction 2 is already in the works.

Don't let the tight runtime fool you; Greyhound is still very much a war epic at just 1 hour and 31 minutes. The film — which Tom Hanks adapted from C.S. Forester's The Good Shepherd and which was directed by Aaron Schneider — features Hanks as the fictional commanding officer of a U.S. Navy vessel who must lead a convoy of Allied ships through the perilous Black Pit, a stretch of sea inaccessible to air support during the Battle of the Atlantic. For that three-day period, Hanks' Commander Ernest Krause is relentlessly tested and taunted by a "wolfpack" of U-boats, and it's on him to shepherd the ships across the Atlantic. There's little fluff to be found in this film, but the action is, to borrow an oft-used phrase in the film, "steady as you go."

For anyone who wasn't lucky enough to see the celebrated Broadway musical Hamilton live, especially when show creator  Lin-Manuel Miranda still led the original cast, director Thomas Kail captured a stunning 2016 performance of the show, with plans for the film to release wide in 2021. Once the coronavirus pandemic put all of Hollywood on hold, though, the pic — a musical biography of Alexander Hamilton told with a soundtrack of hip-hop, R&B, and soul — was redirected to a pre-Fourth of July release on Disney+ and gave audiences at home plenty of reasons to sing this Independence Day.

An anticipated romance movie smuggled inside of an action comedy, The Lovebirds was supposed to premiere at SXSW in March 2020 before everything shut down. That allowed Netflix to gobble it up, so nearly all the world could still see Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae play a couple on the rocks who learn to love each other again after accidentally becoming involved in a murder the same day they were going to break up. It's full of the kind of raucous humor that sees Nanjiani kicked in the face by a horse, all the while bringing Rae's and Nanjiani's characters closer together for a happy ending.

Gina Prince-Bythewood's action thriller The Old Guard is more than just your ordinary shoot-'em-up-bang-bang-style popcorn flick. The pic stars  Charlize Theron as Andy, the ancient leader of a race of semi-immortals who secretly work to save the world, one fight at a time, and take on a reluctant new member in KiKi Layne's Nile. Although The Old Guard does offer plenty of high-octane sequences, the characters also deliver some thoughtful commentary about the heroes' burden of watching the world continue to self-destruct no matter how many bad guys they vanquish, along with some sublime LGBTQ representation.

The less you know about Palm Springs going into it, the better, but it's probably no secret at this point that this delightful comedy features Andy Samberg and  Cristin Milioti as a pair of wedding goers who find themselves trapped in a time loop. Their performances are at once goofy and grounded, and there are plenty of surprises packed into every precious minute of this wild, incredibly fun rom-com with touches of sci-fi. x96 max plus

Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg have teamed up for a lot of action dramas over the years (see also: Lone Survivor, Patriots Day, Deepwater Horizon, and Mile 22), but  Spenser Confidential marks their first film which even flirts with comedy — and it's all the better for it. The premise of the movie is simple enough; Wahlberg stars as an ex-cop who did his time for beating up his crooked boss and returns to find that his department is enmeshed a very sordid scandal that only he, his mentor Henry (Alan Arkin), his gentle giant roommate Hawk (Winston Duke), and his on-and-off-again girlfriend Cissy (Iliza Schlesinger) can untangle. But what might otherwise be a rote cop drama is immediately elevated by the movie's commitment to being a very Boston drama with a lot of sharp humor sprinkled in at just the right moments.

OK, maybe this one wouldn't have been a major blockbuster, but it's already destined to be an indie sci-fi classic talked about by elite cinephiles for years to come. The winner of Sundance's 2019 Best Narrative Feature Audience Award is set in 1950s New Mexico and follows a young woman and a man who investigate mysterious audio that appears to be coming from space, but skips special effects for mounting mood and incredible filmmaking. Andrew Patterson's directorial debut is a stunner, showing off his unique eye with what are sure to be his trademark one-take shots involving hundreds of extras, multiple locations, and a camera that never wants to turn off. There's a mesmerizing scene involving the young woman operating a switchboard that's already become one of my favorite scenes in film history, and I can't wait to see what Patterson comes at us with next.
