I,
Tonya
I,
Tonya is a riff on the Tonya Harding saga starring Margot Robbie as the
infamous figure skater
the whole world decided it loved to hate, is a fresh, chancy, and wickedly
enjoyable movie. It’s framed as a fake documentary (it opens with the
characters being interviewed 20 years later), and it has a tone of poker-faced
goofball Americana that suggests a biopic made by the Coen brothers. The movie
revels in the sheer woeful ghastly comic horror of what went on during the
lead-up to the 1994 Winter Olympic Games in Lillehammer — the smashed knee of
Nancy Kerrigan, the whole scheme to undermine her that was even more cracked.
Phantom
Thread
Post-war London renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel
Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville) are at the center of British
fashion with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock. Woodcock, a confirmed
bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young,
strong-willed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes his muse and lover.
Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted. Director
Paul Thomas Anderson paints an illuminating portrait both of an artist on a
creative journey, and the women who keep his world running. Phantom Thread is
Paul Thomas Anderson's eighth movie. Paul
Thomas Anderson is son of the Ghoulardi who hosted B-movies on late night
television when I was growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. He named his production
company after that local Cleveland celebrity. He directed Boogie Nights when he
was 27 years old. Phantom Thread is his 8th motion picture.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
A group of teenagers who turn into videogame characters, is a
sequel to the 1995 Robin Wlliams hit Jumanji, a remake, a reboot, or
something else. It’s definitely the kind of movie that works the name of a
classic rock song into its title and makes sure to blast it during the end
credits, for people who were in their twenties during the 1990s and now have
kids of their own. Once they end up inside the Jumanji videogame, Spencer
(Dwayne Johnson), Fridge (Kevin Hart), Martha (Karen Gillam), Bethany
(Jack Black) and Alex Vreeke (Nick Jonas) are supposed to be characters in the
game-space.
Pitch
Perfect 3

on a yacht for three men. Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) crashes through the ceiling
and sprays the men with a fire extinguisher, just as there is an explosion.
Three weeks earlier, John (John Michael Higgins) and Gail (Elizabeth Banks) are
following Beca (Anna Kendrick) as part of a documentary they are making about
the group.Chloe (Brittany Snow) tells her friends about a Bellas reunion
performance tlater that night. The ladies meet up with the rest of their Bella
sisters - Aubrey (Anna Camp), Cynthia-Rose (Ester Dean), Stacie (Alexis Knapp),
Lilly (Hana Mae Lee), Flo (Chrissie Fit), Jessica (Kelley Jakle), and Ashley

they get to open for DJ Khaled.
