Your Weekend Movie Guide for May 2023

 

The sensation doesn't go away.  I am still missing the Cinerama Dome and hoping for its eventual return.   Even if I was going to see something crappy like "Airport 75."

Indeed, these days, this flick from 1975 is ten times better than stuff on our current screens.   You know the monthly routine, gang.   I'll drift through the LA Times movie pages and give you my knee jerk, gut reaction to what's playing.   

Just don't expect to see any of it playing at the Cinerama Dome.

Fool's Paradise:   A comedy that sounds intriguing.   A Hollywood agent finds an actor lookalike in a mental institution and uses him as a substitute when his client won't come out of his trailer.  The strong cast includes Adrien Brody, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Edie Falco, and the late Ray Liotta.

Guy Ritchie's The Covenent:  All about the Afghanistan exodus.   Always suspect when the director uses his name in the title.

Love Again:  The title alone...

Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3:  Volume?  They're movies, not books.

Book Club - The Next Chapter:   Four female acting legends in a sequel that is probably nothing more than a travelogue of Italy.

Super Mario Bros. Movie:  Never played the game in the first place.

Hypnotic:   Stars Ben Affleck who is hardly the title.

Fast X: Fast and Furious Number Ten, for those who can't figure out the title.

Are You There, God?  It's Me, Margaret:  A Judy Blume book now a movie and probably strictly for teenage girls.

Transformers - Rise of the Beasts:  How many of these movies are there?

Evil Dead Rise:  Rinse spit repeat.

Knights of the Zodiac:   Astrological stuff bores me.

Blackberry:   Does anybody still have one of these??

It Ain't Over:  Blog review coming.  A beautiful documentary about Yogi Berra.

Master Gardener:  A character study about...wait for it...a horticulturist.

Party Games - Spring Awakenings:  Nothing like a sequel that you never knew about the first movie.

Stay Awake:  All about opioid addictions in a documentary that might give you the same side effects.

Robots: A romcom about a couple who hook up with their robot doubles.  Which one has the lug nuts?

Sanctuary:  A rich guy and his dominatrix.   Hmmmm.

Dinner last night:  Sandwich.
