Welcome back to “Now in Theaters: 5 New Movies for the Weekend.”
This week, Godzilla smashes scaly monster bods with King Ghidora.
WIDE RELEASE:
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
The plot of Godzilla: King of the Monsters doesn’t matter at all. The only thing that matters is that Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah are going to be smashing into each other for two hours, and King Ghidorah is the coolest kaiju, straight-up. This is the Godzilla movie you played out with your toys as a kid and that I still play out as a giant man-child, albeit very gently because all my Godzilla figures are mint-in-box.
Rocketman
Rocketman (2019) – Official Trailer – Paramount Pictureswww.youtube.com
Rocketman is a musical biopic about Elton John’s rise to fame. Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service) looks great as the larger-than-life musician, and early reviews have praised his performance. The color palette looks bright and vibrant, mirroring Elton John’s glittery persona. If you’re a fan of Elton John’s music (honestly, who isn’t?), this looks like one of the better musician biopics in recent years.
Ma
MA – Official Trailerwww.youtube.com
Ma‘s premise is so stupid. Like, inconceivably stupid. It’s a horror movie where the killer is a random lady (Octavia Spencer, way too talented for this) who lets teenagers drink at her house, and the teenagers accept her invitation because apparently, they have never heard of stranger danger. If the entire conflict of a movie can be solved by everyone agreeing not to go to a stranger’s house, is that even a conflict? I like terrible movies, though, so I kind of want to see it.
LIMITED RELEASE:
Always Be My Maybe
Always Be My Maybe | Trailer | Netflixwww.youtube.com
Co-written by and starring both Ali Wong and Randall Park (Fresh Off the Boat), Always Be My Maybe is a romantic comedy about two childhood friends who should probably end up together, except one of them is hooking up with Daniel Dae Kim and then Keanu Reeves. Ali Wong is a really great comedian, so it’ll probably be pretty funny, and it’s always great to see Randall Park getting more work, especially as a leading man. It’s on Netflix this weekend, so definitely check it out.
Domino
DOMINO Official Trailer (2019) Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Brian De Palma Movie HDwww.youtube.com
Poor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau just can’t catch a break. First, his entire character arc was destroyed in the final season of Game of Thrones. Now, he’s starring in this absolute clunker. But how can you tell Domino is a clunker without even seeing it? Great question! Normally, action movies put high-octane action scenes in the trailer. Domino decided to go the much less established route and have a man falling very, very slowly from a low roof. Someone, please get Nikolaj Coster-Waldau a new agent.
