In medieval England, the daughter of a financially destitute Lord thwarts her father’s plans to marry her off to a wealthy suitor. When the most vile suitor arrives, her parent’s love for her is tested. “Similar to recent adaptations of Persuasion and Emma, [director Lena] Dunham imbues Catherine Called Birdy with lots of clever anachronisms, including a pop-tastic soundtrack, dominated by Misty Miller performing covers of songs like Supergrass’s ‘Alright’ and Alicia Keys. ... Dunham keeps the action brisk and the humor quotient high, as Birdy foils a succession of suitors, often by way of slapstick high jinks and general over-the-top japery.” (Ann Hornaday/The Washington Post) Adventure/comedy, rated PG-13, 108 minutes, Violet Crown

Directed by Olivia Wilde. With Chris Pine “For all its promise, Don’t Worry Darling at every twist and turn lacks the right balance of suspense. ... But it’s still easy enough to go along with the film because, well, Pugh. If her devotion to the film has been uncertain during its release, Pugh’s commitment to the role is far harder to question. It’s often riveting following her increasingly paranoid psychology as Alice’s growing suspicions cause her to doubt everything, maybe even her own seemingly perfect husband.” (Jake Coyle/AP) Thriller/mystery, rated R, 123 minutes, Regal Santa Fe Place 6, Violet Crown

Moonage Daydream is a documentary film about English singer-songwriter David Bowie. Written, directed, produced, and edited by Brett Morgen, the film uses previously unreleased footage from Bowie’s personal archives, including live concert footage. It is the first film to be officially authorized by Bowie’s estate, and it takes its title from the 1971 Bowie song of the same name. “[Brett] Morgen relies on image, music, and editing to produce something that doesn’t bother to explain Bowie as much as channel his energy into a new form. It’s an insanely ambitious movie. It shouldn’t work. It feels like a minor miracle that it does.” (rogerebert.com) Documentary/musical, rated PG-13, 134 minutes, CCAC

If you’re craving one more variation on the well-worn theme of promiscuous bloodlettings accompanied by glib verbal filler, look no further than director David Leitch’s Bullet Train. The chief pleasure to be had here lies in seeing Brad Pitt deliver one of his throwaway left-handed performances as Ladybug, a member of an elite assassination force. Pitt is relaxed, endearingly goofy, and consistently on point.Pitt is relaxed, endearingly goofy, and consistently on point. Ladybug’s latest marching orders are to fetch a silver briefcase from an overnight train traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto, a mission that puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from around the globe. Bullet Train is a movie that is almost constantly two things at once: breezily lighthearted and overwrought; hyper-energetic and lazy; bracingly fresh and drearily derivative.

The best way to appreciate Elvis, Baz Luhrmann’s audacious, frenetic, osionally astonishing, and ultimately confounding movie about Elvis Presley (Austin Butler), is simply to surrender to it. The story of Presley’s life is narrated by his manager, Col. Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), a sulfurous and tiresome guide through Presley’s life story, which Luhrmann illustrates with a bricolage of musical numbers, set pieces, and melodramatic encounters. Elvis is aware that the audience knows exactly where this story is going: In rapid succession, using dramatized and real-life news clips, Luhrmann revisits the highs, lows, and most dismal depths of Presley’s life. The result is a dizzying, almost hallucinatory experience.— akin to being thrown into a washing machine and mercilessly churned for 2 1/2 hours. That isn’t to say that Elvis doesn’t provide moments of insight, or even genuine inspiration; it’s just that they occur fitfully, when the viewer is briefly pasted up against the window before being plunged into the barrel of Luhrmann’s lurid sensibility once again (Ann Hornaday/The Washington Post) Musical/drama, rated PG-13, 159 minutes, Regal Stadium 14
A college professor is drawn into an escalating battle of wills after she catches two hunters trespassing on her property in the remote mountains of the American West. With Thandiwe Newton. “[Director and co-writer Julian] Higgins has a feel for the poetry of the landscape, and he and his cinematographer, Andrew Wheeler, make effective use of the region’s majestic, sometimes eerie beauty. ... The movie works best when it doesn’t over-explain and instead lets the land and the characters, the wide open spaces and the performances — especially Newton’s meticulously controlled turn — speak for themselves.” (Manohla Dargis/The New York Times)

THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING
Trailer  youtu.be/TWGvntl9itE
After purchasing a bottle at a market in Istanbul where she is attending a conference, scholar Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) encounters a djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. What ensues is a dialogue in Alithea’s hotel room wherein the djinn recalls his exploits with his tales illustrated in flashbacks that director George Miller (Mad Max) stages as elaborate tableaux, complete with special effects and stylized storybook-like designs. Alithea and the djinn joust about whether science has replaced myth, whether fate exists, and the nature of desire, contentment, and purpose. But at the end of the day, and despite its metaphysical ambitions and air of epic romance, Three Thousand Years of Longing is essentially two people in a room conversing. What should be a cinematic journey into amazement and otherworldly adventure instead becomes a tedious, word-heavy slog.

Top Gun: Maverick doesn’t feel like a video game or a three-dimensional comic book or an ad for a TV show. It splashes extravagantly across the screen in its own battle against obsolescence, as if to say: This is what movies looked like, once. And this is what they can look like again.

Fortunatelyfor Kya, gentleman lawyer Tom Milton (David Strathairn) comes out of retirement to defend Kya. London-born Edgar-Jones (Cold Feet) convincingly portrays Kya’s haunted shyness. With Strathairn’s gentle gravitas suggesting an elderly Atticus Finch, much of Crawdads seems like a misty-eyed look at an innocent American past.
