Hey, movie fans!
I hope you’re having a great summer, but do I know what you did last summer?
The popular ’90s horror franchise with the ominous title makes its 21st-century return this weekend, complete with appearances from the original cast members Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. In her review, the critic Beatrice Loayza wrote that the older film had “room for improvement — but Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s new version fumbles its shot.”
If you’re in the mood for a Covid satire, you can try the writer-director Ari Aster’s take on the year 2020 with “Eddington,” starring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal. In her Critic’s Pick review, Alissa Wilkinson wrote that the film “sets us not-so-gently adrift on a sea of very recent memories and the nausea they re-prompt, and waves merrily from the shore as we turn green.”
If instead you’d rather turn blue, then make your way to “Smurfs,” which has Rihanna voicing Smurfette. The critic Glenn Kenny described the movie as “a singing, dancing multidimensional romp,” with “visuals that get trippy to the extreme.”
And of course, “Superman” is still dominating screens and prompting plenty of conversation. We spoke with its screenwriter and director James Gunn about all manner of topics related to the film. He also broke down a pivotal scene between Lois Lane and Clark Kent.
Enjoy the movies!
