11/12/2022 0 Comments Good recent movies![]() The 11th and most recent version comes to Hulu and stars Odessa A’zion and Jamie Clayton. It’s been depicted on the screen in one way or another 11 times now, so that feels like a pretty safe assumption. You are probably at least a little familiar with Hellraiser, the 1987 horror classic directed by Clive Barker. Now, 14 years after that, there’s a documentary about it. Until, that is, 2008, when everyone from LeBron James to Dwyane Wade to Kobe Bryant had enough and got the band together for what became known as The Redeem Team. Then, over the next 15 years, playing for USA Basketball became less appealing and things all got weird. The Dream Team took the world by storm at the 1992 Olympics, with Magic and Michael and Larry and a slew of other Hall of Famers coming together to win gold in almost hilariously dominant fashion. Led by Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes, Do Revenge is the perfect mean-teen movie, giving us all the fun and fierce cross of Mean Girls, Clueless, Heathers, 10 Things I Hate About You, Cruel Intentions, and Throw Momma From The Train (!?) that we didn’t know we needed, but we so, so did. Watch it on Disney Plus.Ī revenge fantasy set in an impossibly luxurious school where impossibly rich kids trade impossibly sharp and smart barbs, Do Revenge is not to be believed as a real slice of teenage life, but it is to be enjoyed. And we wouldn’t be caught dead talking smack about the Sanderson sisters. Can it capture the magic (pun intended) of its predecessor? Will the surprise musical numbers go as hard? Will Disney allow more tongue-in-cheek one liners about Satanic worship and child cannibalism to flourish (because we really need to hear Sarah Jessica Parker confirm she smells children, just one more time)? We don’t have all the answers but it’s never a bad thing when Bette Midler, Parker, and Kathy Najimy get together on screen. Fans have been clamoring for a followup to this spooky childhood classic for so long that, now that it’s finally here, there’s some understandable apprehension. You should not be allowed to look like that and be that funny. It is almost unreasonable how good Chris Hemsworth is in these movies. This follow-up to the also-fun Ragnarok has made the move from theaters to streaming and into your living rooms. Thor is back once again and he brought some new friends with him. (tie) Thor: Love and Thunder ( Disney Plus) MARVEL Enjoy it for what it is – a beautifully-shot fever dream filled with some great tunes. Austin Butler is mesmerizing, and so is whatever the hell Tom Hanks is doing in this thing. It’s hip-gyrating, finger-thrusting, sweat-pouring theatrics packaged in lush cinematography, contained in a classic underdog story that reaffirms everything you thought you knew about the King of Rock and Roll, and then adds some weird personal fodder that makes you question everything you thought you knew about the King of Rock and Roll. The kind you leave out on your front porch for your neighbors to marvel at in grotesque disbelief. (tie) Elvis ( HBO Max) WBīaz Lurhman’s Elvis biopic is trash. Throw in side stories about a tantric sex guru, a shooting, and some Blues Clues Steve wisdom on the uncomplicated positivity of Barney and you get a pretty rich and compelling 2-part docuseries. To many, Barney The Dinosaur was a foundational and positive part of their childhood, filling their days with song and love, but the icon also found himself caught in the middle of a still-raging war between snark and sentimentality, sparking hate from hate groups of the early internet era that, in I Love You, You Hate Me, get credit for helping to unlock the culture of grievance and rage that feels more prevalent and caustic now.
