The Fabelmans

You can watch the following:Showtime is now available to stream

Amblin Entertainment

Genre: Coming-of-age drama
Run time: 2h 31m
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Gabriel LaBelle

Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical drama follows the story of Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle), a young aspiring filmmaker who finds stability in the medium of film amid the dysfunction of his family life and childhood in post-WWII Arizona. If that description isn’t enough to entice you, how about a cameo appearance by Twin Peaks David Lynch, the creator of David Lynch and John Ford as the acclaimed Hollywood icons?

Our review is:

At the heart of nearly every Steven Spielberg film is the spirit of a boy who’s still saddened by his parents’ divorce, papering over his grief in cinema’s vast sandbox. You can see that kid’s pain unconsciously spilling out in the bickering mom and dad characters from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. In the E.T. family dynamics, you can see it.The Extra-Terrestrial. And it evolves in Catch Me If You Can, as Frank Abagnale seeks refuge at the home of his mom’s second family. But Spielberg has never approached his own childhood with such straightforwardness as he does in his semi-autobiographical movie The Fabelmans, one of 2022’s best films so far.

Genre:Fear Not!
Run time: 1h 37m
Director: Michelle Garza Cervera
Cast: Natalia Solián, Alfonso Dosal, Mayra Batalla

This horror film from Mexico is acclaimed for its portrayal of a mother being haunted with otherworldly spirits.

Our review is:

Huesera speaks in a language of breaking and setting, as rigid structures crack under pressure — the wood of sturdy furniture, the bones of an animal consumed for its flesh, the expectations of a mother-to-be. The powerful hand rips these objects from their intended purpose. Powerful hands pry these things from their assigned purpose. Huesera, Valeria is both a craftsperson’s hands and their medium: shrieking in agony as her bones are bent in ways they were not meant to, yet longing for the control to contort her life into a shape molded by her desires. Cervera creates a motherhood story that asks, which tradition is the strongest and most powerful? Is it the rigidity of Catholicism exemplified by a statue of Mary? Witchcraft by women who are imprisoned in such ideals What about the punks? A person in a life transition is pushed in many directions. Their body changes and their bones reset.

When a massive earthquake rocks the foundations of Ellie’s apartment complex, an ancient evil is inadvertently unearthed — one that threatens to claim the lives of all those trapped inside the building.

Our review is:

Evil Dead Rise This is a film made by sickos, for sickos. It’s a fantastic update to the iconic franchise, filled with humor but bringing in Álvarez’s taste for the disgusting and upsetting. The refreshing change in scenery and cast, plus Sutherland’s breakout performance, proves this undead franchise still has a lot of life and fight in it.

At 97 lively minutes, it does feel like it’s over almost as soon as it begins. It’s a perfect onboarding movie for newer audiences who’ve never seen an Evil Dead movie, but for longtime fans, it breathes new air into a classic horror-comedy franchise, mixing Raimi’s old-school approach with the new school of gruesome horror. It proves there’s still a lot to color in within the old dead-lines.

It’s basically The Legend of Ron Burgundy: Anchorman, but instead of focusing on a character modeled after real-life anchorman Mort Crim, it’s Bob Ross.
