A computer game show, a Rom-Com and a gay anthology film that combines so many other genres, it is just to say that Hollywood has all its covered bases at the Cineplex this weekend. Here are three of the most buzzing films along the way.
A minecraft film
In theaters Friday
A minecraft film is the first attempt to adapt the successful video game Minecraft for the big screen. The film features Jack Black and Jason Momoa in a wacky and sprawling adventure full of animals in blocks and magic macguffins. Minecraft is the best -selling video game of all time, so it is natural that it generates a film franchise. But the Minecraft universe in the Games is not really built on characters with discreet personalities – it is more a construction game of the world of sandbox style, where you build elaborate shelters that help you protect yourself against the Warriors and the Zombies in marauding. Transforming minecraft into a film presents a challenge, because the film has a plot the development of the character to catch up. But, as Lego film And Barbie have demonstrated, it is possible to obtain it spectacularly RIGHT.
A minecraft film Stars Jack Black like Steve – he is the default character of the bustle of Minecraft games. Here, he is an extremely impatient adventurer who lives for mines and tries to protect a powerful cube which allows his holder to go through different kingdoms. An army of pigs wants to use the cube for looting purposes, but their efforts are complicated when the cube – the film has fun with the fact that everyone calls it a “orb” – falls into the hands of a faded player called Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison. It is played by Jason Momoa.
Soon, Garrett, Steve, a pair of courageous orphans, and a real estate agent played by Danielle Brooks ventured through various kingdoms. Naturally, along the way, they reveal and deploy various Minecraft Easter eggs, and perhaps even learn something about the value of creativity and friendship. – Stephen Thompson
Bizarre
In theaters Friday
Before directing Captain MarvelAnna Boden and Ryan Fleck have made India as Half,, Sugar And Mississippi grind. But even their independent credit will not prepare you for this Grindhouse Flippe of the oppressed in four chapters. It was on May 10, 1987 in the Bay region, the night when the Golden State Warriors survived the Lakers in a glory flame of the fourth quarter by the leader Eric “Sleepy” Floyd (played here by Jay Ellis). But Oakland has a lot more things that night: a music club fight between the monsters and the neonazis, a hip-hop battle between the too short rapper and two disrespectful women who mop up the soil with him, a debt collector of the world of crime (Pedro Pascal) who has more to live than that will lead to a recovery of his last day, and a work, not very epic.
Many things happen in this anthology film. The directors find joy in moments that could otherwise read as brutal – a shy child with a beautiful smile that discovers his more attractive smile when a fight leaves him tooth, the balletic grace of the feast of slices and the dice of the final act; And a fabulously athletic breakdance under the final credits. The real life too short and sleepy Floyd has made brief appearances, just like a green glow which can or not explain how these stories are all connected. – Bob Mondello
A nice Indian boy
In limited theaters on Friday
Also a story in the chapters, this charming of a Rom-Com begins at a great American Indian marriage where Naveen (Karan Soni, of dead Pool Fame) is sitting alone, the gay son who never brings boyfriends back home to meet the family. Not that he has a boyfriend, although it changes when he and Jay (Jonathan Groff, Joy And Hamilton), Meet cute. A beautiful white photographer who was adopted by an Indian couple, Jay is probably more culturally Indian than Naveen – they first spoiled each other in their local Hindu temple. But say that to the people of Naveen, who are surprised and then charmed when Jay calls them aunt and uncle and touches their feet as a sign of respect.
As mom plans a gay Indian wedding, it is difficult to say who is the water-out of the water in the slowly cheesy adaptation of director Roshan Sethi of a stage of the stage of Madhuri Shekar. The film does not deeply watch the traditions that it usrier or uses of various uses, nor the psychology of its characters, but it brings a lot of colors, music and Bollywood Flair so that its two lovebirds finally sing in harmony. – Bob Mondello
