Wes Anderson’s The latest in comedy French Dispatch is a self-proclaimed “love letter to journalists,” following the misadventures of a group of hapless columnists working for the eccentric editor of an American newspaper in the fictional French city of Ennui-sur-Blasé (Boredom-upon-Apathy). Anderson’s proclivity for fastidiously detailed sets, bright colors, irreverent deadpan humor, and quirky characters has won him both acclaim and criticism throughout his career.

What does it take? French DispatchWhat is the difference between his past work and this one? We have reviewed the following:

This film can be divided into five vignettes. Each one is a report column that belongs to a certain newspaper section. Some sections are better than others, as is the way with anthology films. Anderson’s penchant for dry comedy used to explain grief, the inner workings of dysfunctional people, and children experiencing the loss of innocence comes to the forefront once again. And yet this is the director’s least digestible work. It’s supposedly a love letter to the New YorkerIt was a time long ago, but it is still a great place to be. French Dispatch features Anderson’s familiar aesthetic style, it’s often a distant omnibus that might appeal only to his most ardent fans.

The story of Kurt Warner’s journey to the NFL is almost mythic within sports circles. He had a great senior season at University of Northern Iowa. After four years, he was unable to get an NFL job. Instead, he ended up working as a stockist at a local grocery. Warner excelled in Arena Football League and was eventually selected by the St. Louis Rams. He went on to become one of America’s most popular undrafted athletes.

American Underdog This film is an adaptation of the story. It stars Zachary Levi as Warner and Anna Paquin plays Brenda. Dennis Quaid plays Dick Vermeil, Rams head coach. The Erwin brothers are directing the film, which is expected to focus on religion, something Warner previously spoke about.

The Protégé

If you’re aching for another assassin action thrilling in the vein of 2017’s Atomic Blonde, 2019’s Anna, or Netflix’s 2021 film Kate, then The ProtégéMartin Campbell directs “The Greatest Showmanship”Casino RoyaleShould be up to your level. Starring Maggie Q (NikitaThe film is titled “Anna”, and it tells the story about Anna, a contract killer who was adopted by legendary assassin Moody (“Samuel L. Jackson”) and made to become his apprentice and partner. When Moody is brutally executed at the behest of devious businessman Michael Rembrandt (Michael Keaton), Anna embarks on a campaign of vengeance to uncover the reason why Moody was targeted, all while fending off Moody’s killer. Our review shows that

Maggie Q balances herself out of a tightrope in this film. She opens a fridge door, and she drenches her attacker with milk and food bits. But all of that happens in the same movie that asks her to keep a straight face while saying, “You point a gun at my pussy, and then you ask me to bed? I like your style.” Some of The Protégé’s missteps can be tolerated because the film gives Maggie Q a lead role with some teeth, but that line asks too much. The Protégé can’t just let Anna kick ass: It has to tack on a try-hard romantic subplot whose primary function seems to be insisting that Anna is a wild sexual being. What does that have to do with the story? No. It’s a shame Maggie Q was so busy carrying The Protégé on her back that she couldn’t make time to kick the film’s embarrassing script into shape, too.

Strawberry Mansion

You should be watching:Rentable for $7.99 at Amazon, $6.99 at Apple and $3.99 with Vudu

In a delightful mash-up of Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Matt Groening’s Futurama, Albert Birney and Kentucker Audley’s sci-fi romcom Strawberry Mansion is set in a dystopian future where dreams can be taxed and infested by advertisements. Audley stars as James Preble, a government “dream auditor” who travels to the home of an aging artist (Penny Fuller) and inadvertently finds himself falling in love with her as he combs through her subconscious stored on an enormous collection of videotapes. The trailer looks cool and absolutely bonkers; if you happen to like Gondry’s aforementioned masterpiece or sci-fi that skews the line between earnest and cerebral, this one is certainly worth a watch.
