Your Weekend Movie Guide for August 2024

 

Nothing to see...and, sadly...no places to see it.   Here's the fable Bruin Theater in Westwood.   Now closed.   The other palace across the street...the Fox...has also closed but will be redesigned.   No such plans for the quaint Bruin.   Even I have lots of memories there and I've only lived in LA since the late 90s.

You know the monthly drill.   I'll cobble through the movie listings and give you my knee jerk reaction to what's out there.

Spoiler alert.  There's nothing.   And one less theater to see nothing at.

Strange Darling:  A one-night stand goes awry.   Don't they all?   Or so I'm told.

Trap:  Another thriller from that Sixth Sense director who has never matched the success of his first movie where we all saw dead people.

Alien - Romulus:  Beating a dead alien to a pulp.

Deadpool and Wolverine:  Sounds like a vintage clothing store on Melrose.

It Ends With Us:  Said everybody who watched the Democratic Convention.

Twisters: An old-fashioned summer blockbuster that should be seen in a theater.

Despicable Me 4:  When they get to number 8, I'll start to catch up.

Didi:  Don't CeCe.

The Crow: A documentary about Nancy Pelosi?

Between the Temples:  A cantor needs to change his life.   Take your best Pro-Hamas friend.

Blink Twice:  And you will miss it.   A psycho thriller with Channing Tatum which is redundant.

Greedy People:  See "It Ends with Us."

Place of Bones:  The food recycle bin?

I'll Be Your Mirror: Reflect on that.

Dinner last night:  BLT from Clementine's.
