New Release
‘In the Grey’
Sid (Henry Cavill), Bronco (Jake Gyllenhaal), and Sophia (Eiza Gonzalez) are sent to recover a stolen billion from a dastardly despot. Their covert heist breaks into open war as the team fights through traps, double-crosses, and mercenaries closing in from every side.Ritchie knows exactly what movie he’s making here, and that’s why this actioner works. It has the snap, swagger, and smart-mouth rhythm that audiences expect, with a slick covert-job setup that keeps mutating until the whole mission turns into a full-blown mess.
Family Pick
‘Dolittle’
Dr. John Dolittle (Robert Downey Jr.) holes up on his estate talking to animals until a summons from the queen pulls him into a strange voyage toward a cure hidden on a distant island. He then embarks on a trek with a young assistant and a pack of talkative creatures.It plays like a story told to kids, messy in spots but warm at its core, with Dolittle slowly stepping back toward people after shutting himself off. There’s a simple thread running through it about sticking by your crew and looking out for others when it counts.
Looks Fade, Character Stays
‘Beastly’
Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) gets cursed by a witch and hides away with his ruined face, dragging Lindy Taylor (Vanessa Hudgens) into his world after saving her off the street. With a ticking deadline, he has one shot to turn his life around before the curse locks in.This modern take on a classic may run on the familiar teen romance track but stays watchable and actually points back to real-life behavior instead of drifting off into pure fantasy. It has a decent message about how people should treat each other.
