New Release
When gigantic monsters begin appearing in Japan, the government establishes a special unit called the SSSP to combat these malevolent threats. As the strange beasts continue to wreak havoc across the country, a mysterious silver-clad giant dubbed Ultraman enters the fray.
While this film’s main characters are a little on the dull side, the action-packed battle sequences are absolutely incredible—deftly combining retro special effects with today’s state-of-the-art CGI. It’s a fun, nostalgic homage to the monster mash days of yore.
Family Pick
In this charming film, Will Bloom (Billy Crudup) is struggling to get to know his estranged, dying father, Ed Bloom (the older man played by Albert Finney and the younger version by Ewan McGregor). However, Will can’t seem to get past Ed’s vast repertoire of fantastical stories.
This magical tale (mostly told through flashbacks) of humanity, imagination, and perspective, coupled with director Tim Burton’s penchant for otherworldly visuals, is sure to captivate viewers. It’s a one-of-a-kind film that can also stimulate existential inquiry.
An Inspiring Road Movie
‘Chef’Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) is a success: He’s the head chef at a posh Los Angeles restaurant and gets along with his staff. However, he’s constantly at odds with the owner, Riva (Dustin Hoffman), who stifles his creativity. One day, Carl decides to make a drastic change. How will it affect his life?
This is an entertaining and humorous film that’s part road movie and part dramedy. Ultimately, however, it’s about taking chances in one’s life in order to be happy. It’s also about family reconciliation.
A Humorous Journey of Self-Discovery
Big-time Hollywood director (Joel McCrea) is tired of making trivial films and sets out to make something with more impact. His plan involves donning the guise of a vagrant to get real-life experience for his next movie.
This film is not only fast-paced and full of adventure, but it’s also filled with plenty of humor, romance, and scathing commentary on the film industry.
