Hey, movie fans! If you love Bruce Springsteen as much as you love movies, this is your week. “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” the new biopic about the musician starring Jeremy Allen White, is now in theaters. It’s not all arena rock anthems though. This portrait is more personal. In her review, Manohla Dargis writes, “There are frustrating moments in ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’ — that lyric appears to great effect in ‘Nebraska’ — and some unfortunate self-conscious arty flourishes, but there’s much to like here, too.” If you want to hear what White sounds like as Bruce, check out this scene narrated by the film’s director, Scott Cooper. Elsewhere on the big screen, another year, another off-kilter Emma Stone-Yorgos Lanthimos collaboration. The actor and the filmmaker are at it again with the odd thriller “Bugonia.” In her review, Alissa Wilkinson writes about Lanthimos, “there’s an erratic absurdism to his style: Just when you think you know what this movie is about, he jerks you sideways for a second, so you can’t get too comfortable.” Another frequent Lanthimos collaborator, Jesse Plemons, also stars, and we spoke to him about taking on his conspiracy theorist role. And we’re a week from Halloween, so we have plenty of horror programming for you. How about throwing on that Ghostface mask, firing up some Jiffy Pop and checking out the 1996 horror-satire “Scream” this weekend? We’re doing a watch party. Let us know how it holds up. If you want more horror recs, answer just four questions for us and we’ll point you in the creepiest direction possible. Enjoy the movies! |
