Netflix – Nov. 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the year\u2019s very best documentaries, \u201cWick Is Pain\u201d is an unvarnished look at the creation of the \u201cJohn Wick\u201d film series. Through behind-the-scenes footage and candid interviews, the documentary traces the first film\u2019s humble origins as a negligible, nearly direct-to-video action movie helmed by a pair of stuntmen-turned-filmmakers (David Leitch and Chad Stahelski)\u00a0 that was almost shut down at every corner, only to be revived by some unlikely saviors (including, most prominently, Eva Longoria). It then looks at the creation of each subsequent installment, with the scope and scale getting bigger and more complex and the relationship between Stahelski and Leitch becoming even more complicated. Through it all is Keanu Reeves, who gave John Wick his look and his attitude, and who suffers through each entry \u2013 bruised and battered but better for it. \u201cWick is Pain\u201d was a mantra on set; it\u2019ll soon become part of your lexicon, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With “Shaun of the Dead” filmmaker Edgar Wright’s new take on “The Running Man” out this month, now’s a great time to revisit his 2017 film “Baby Driver.” The original heist actioner stars Ansel Elgort as a getaway driver who suffers from tinnitus, so he always keeps headphones on with a song playing to drone out the ringing in his ears. This means the movie itself always<\/em> has a song playing in the background (or foreground), with action beats choreographed to Queen, Beck and so many more. It’s a heck of a lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Doctor Sleep”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mike Flanagan is beloved for his Netflix horror series \u201cThe Haunting of Hill House\u201d and \u201cThe Haunting of Bly Manor,\u201d but his 2019 \u201cThe Shining\u201d sequel \u201cDoctor Sleep\u201d is a criminally underseen effort. Based on the book by Stephen King, the film serves as a bridge of sorts between Stanley Kubrick\u2019s iconic (but divisive) adaptation of \u201cThe Shining\u201d and the book upon which that 1980 film is based. Ewan McGregor plays a grown up Danny Torrence who\u2019s in recovery for alcoholism when he becomes mentally connected with a young girl named Abra with \u201cthe shining.\u201d Rebecca Ferguson plays a devilish cult leader who sucks the souls out of children, and the story builds to an incredible finale at the Overlook Hotel. If you watch and enjoy this on Hulu, seek out the Blu-ray to watch the even longer director\u2019s cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Austin Butler made a lot of headlines with his transformation as Elvis Presley in the 2022 biopic “Elvis,” now see for yourself. “Moulin Rouge” director Baz Luhrmann brings a decidedly theatrical approach to telling Elvis’ story, full of bombast and romanticism, but it’s Butler’s vexing performance that holds this entire thing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Frances Ha”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Netflix – Nov. 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Greta Gerwig was the director of “Barbie,” she broke out in a huge way as the co-writer and star of Noah Baumbach’s 2012 gem “Frances Ha.” This black-and-white indie follows a young girl named Frances living in New York who’s going through a bit of a quarter-life crisis as she ponders her future as a ballet dancer. Adam Driver makes a memorable appearance as her friend Lev, which is not the only thing that connects this delightful feature to the HBO series “Girls.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Game Night”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\""Game
“Game Night” (Warner Bros. Pictures)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Netflix – Nov. 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGame Night\u201d is, simply put, the best studio comedy of the past decade. (The fact that it came out five years ago is sort of startling.) Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams (in a performance that seriously should have netted her an Oscar nomination) play a married couple who are very into game nights. But when Bateman\u2019s brother (played by Kyle Chandler) introduces a murder mystery game element, the mild-mannered game night soon becomes downright deadly. As far as the set-up for a high-concept studio comedy goes, that\u2019s pretty irresistible. But what makes \u201cGame Night\u201d so special is that directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein weren\u2019t afraid to give the movie actual style and sophistication, in everything from the way the movie was shot (including elements that make the locations look like pieces on a game board) to how it sounds (with a sharp electronic score by former Red Hot Chilli Peppers drummer Cliff Martinez). They also clearly encouraged their enthusiastic cast (which also includes Sharon Horgan, Billy Magnussen, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Michael C. Hall and, most crucially, Jesse Plemmons) to really play. And isn\u2019t that what game night\u2019s all about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Judas and the Black Messiah”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shaka King’s 2021 film “Judah and the Black Messiah” is an explosive, thrilling and eye-opening look into how Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya) was set up and betrayed by an FBI informant (LaKeith Stanfield). The film scored six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, and Kaluuya won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his intense portrayal of Hampton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just one of the most delightful movies ever made, “Paddington 2” is a masterpiece. It’s also one of the most well-reviewed movies in recent memory, with star Hugh Grant even calling the film the best movie he’s ever been in. The sequel follows the titular Paddington Bear as he is framed and imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, all while his family must find the real culprit. Also Grant does a whole musical number.<\/p>\n\n\n

Explaining the plot of Christopher Nolan’s 2021 mind-bender “Tenet” is futile. It’s best described as the filmmaker’s version of a James Bond movie, with a sci-fi twist. It’s kind of like time travel, but not really. What actually matters is John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki and Kenneth Branagh are fabulous in the movie and it looks great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of 2023’s biggest surprises was \u201cWonka,\u201d Paul King\u2019s ingenious musical origin story for the famous chocolatier (brightly played here by Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet) in the time before his magical factory. Wisely acknowledging the versions of the Roald Dahl story that came before it (particularly the Gene Wilder-led \u201cWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory\u201d) without ever becoming too reverential, \u201cWonka\u201d traces the character in his early days, as he fights against the systemic oppression of the chocolate consortium and other factors conspiring to snuff out his dream. Of course, this being Willy Wonka, his enthusiasm remains. And this being Paul King, his plan to make a splash in the chocolate world is carried out through a series of inventive, almost clockwork-like set pieces. (The songs are pretty good too.) And if you\u2019re worried about overloading on sugar,\u00a0 King also maintains the weird flintiness of Roald\u2019s original story; it\u2019s spiky sometimes when you\u2019re expecting it to be smooth. The fact that King, Chalamet and the rest of the team created a new story worthy of Roald\u2019s delectable original is maybe their greatest accomplishment. Best enjoyed with a frosty glass of milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Disney finally acquired the 21st<\/sup> Century assets in 2019, the Fantastic Four, Marvel\u2019s First Family, finally returned home. Now, Marvel Studios could make their own movie, fully integrating it into the shared universe that began with \u201cIron Man\u201d in 2008. \u201cThe Fantastic Four: First Steps\u201d is that attempt. \u201cWandaVision\u201d director Matt Shakman was chosen to helm the project, which positioned the family \u2013 Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) \u2013 as an elite scientific squad protecting a retro-futuristic Earth. Of course, they are challenged by the arrival of Galactus (Ralph Ineson), a planet-chomping diety who wants to make the newest member of the family, baby Franklin, his prot\u00e9g\u00e9. Some saw \u201cThe Fantastic Four\u201d as a welcome return to form for the slightly beleaguered Marvel Studios, with its Space Age design aesthetic and warmhearted family values. It certainly is a feast for the eyes and ears, with Michael Giacchino\u2019s hummable score one of his best ever. Spend a little family time with \u201cThe Fantastic Four: First Steps.\u201d And then ponder how they\u2019ll be integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celine Song’s “Materialists” is an easy sell: It’s a romantic comedy starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. But more than that, it’s a thoughtful drama from the filmmaker behind “Past Lives,” one of the most acclaimed films of 2023, and offers more meat on the bone than you may be expecting from your average rom-com. Give it a whirl, but go in with an open mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Frankenstein”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s alive! For years writer\/director Guillermo del Toro, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind \u201cThe Shape of Water,\u201d \u201cPinocchio\u201d and \u201cPan\u2019s Labyrinth,\u201d has dreamed of making a new version of Mary Shelley\u2019s immortal \u201cFrankenstein.\u201d Now, he finally has. And it\u2019s a doozy. One of his best, most sumptuous films, \u201cFrankenstein\u201d is niftily split into two sections \u2013 in the first, we get the story of the doctor (Oscar Isaac), whose mother died while he was young and whose father (Charles Dance) was a demanding ghoul; the second tells the story of the creature (Jacob Elordi), a tortured amalgamation who becomes obsessed with confronting his creator. Both are extremely complicated, fraught narratives, full of colorful characters like Mia Goth\u2019s Lady Elizabeth, who is the doctor\u2019s brother\u2019s fianc\u00e9e, and Christoph Waltz as an arms dealer who literally supplies Doctor Frankenstein with arms (and legs and torsos). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the two halves of the story are wrapped up with a framing device that follows a ship that is trapped in the arctic, where maker and monster collide. Unlike some passion projects, which, when finally realized, fizzle out and leave you wondering why the filmmaker was so obsessed in the first place, \u201cFrankenstein\u201d is a wholly satisfying accomplishment \u2013 its visual richness is only matched by its emotional depth. It feels like the kind of thing that Del Toro could have only directed after making projects like \u201cCrimson Peak\u201d or \u201cThe Shape of Water\u201d \u2013 a highly detailed monster movie with soul. One of the year\u2019s very best movies, \u201cFrankenstein\u201d is a gothic feast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing Eddie,\u201d a funny, warm-hearted, sometimes overly cautious documentary, attempts to get at the heart of Eddie Murphy, mostly through extended conversations with the comedian himself. (You also get to tour parts of his palatial California home. It\u2019s a stunner.) Murphy is very honest \u2013 about his upbringing (his father left his family while Eddie was young and subsequently murdered by a new paramour), ambitions and occasional misstep. It\u2019s all very funny and insightful, particularly when he actually lets his guard down, like when he reveals that he paid for the funeral and burial plots for Redd Foxx, a comedy hero who starred in Murphy\u2019s \u201cHarlem Nights,\u201d and the actor who played Buckwheat. But just as many interesting, somewhat painful parts of his life are left unaddressed \u2013 colossal box office failures like \u201cThe Adventures of Pluto Nash,\u201d the 1997 incident where Murphy was stopped with a transgender prostitute in his car and claims made my cast members that he is sometimes literally absent from scenes (with them having to work with a stand-in or double). John Landis, who is interviewed in the documentary, having directed several films with Murphy, had a particularly rocky relationship with the actor (as detailed in the 1992 nonfiction book \u201cFatal Subtraction\u201d). Not of that is addressed or even mentioned in the documentary. But that\u2019s okay. The movie has a lot of great clips, a lot of great moments from Murphy and others, and enough to make you appreciate everything that he\u2019s been able to accomplish, on screen and off. And that house. Oh boy, that house.<\/p>\n\n\n

Nothing screams \u201cPrime Video original movie\u201d quite like \u201cPlaydate.\u201d It stars Kevin James and Alan Ritchson, star of Prime Video breakout \u201cReacher,\u201d as a mismatched duo who connect for their children\u2019s playdate but soon spirals out-of-control, in a comedic action movie kind of way. Honestly, seems pretty harmless in the sense that you can probably follow it while also folding laundry, balancing your check book or playing your Nintendo Switch. The cast also includes Sarah Chalke, Alan Tudyk, Stephen Root and Isla Fisher. And it was directed by Luke Greenfield, who made \u201cThe Girl Next Door\u201d and \u201cLet\u2019s Be Cops.\u201d Should be good for a few LOLz at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ari Aster does not make “easy” movies. “Hereditary” terrified audiences with its twisted take on family horror, “Midsommar” is one of the most upsetting breakup movies ever made and “Beau Is Afraid” is… well it’s wild. Now we have “Eddington,” Aster’s spin on a sprawling drama, this time viewed through the lens of COVID-era confrontations in a small town against the backdrop of an election. Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone and Austin Butler star, and at this point you probably know to go in expecting to be a little rattled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richard Linklater has two based-on-a-true-story movies in the awards conversation this year. The first, \u201cBlue Moon,\u201d stars Ethan Hawke as songwriter Lorenz Hart as he ruminates on his former relationship with Richard Rodgers (Andrew Scott) on the opening night of \u201cOklahoma!,\u201d premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year. And his second feature of the year, \u201cNouvelle Vague,\u201d premiered at Cannes to thunderous response. It follows the making of \u201cBreathless,\u201d one of the first (and most warmy received) films in the French New Wave, with Guillaume Marbeck as Jean-Luc Godard, Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo and Bruno Dreyf\u00fcrst as Georges de Beauregard. There are additional actors portraying Francois Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Agn\u00e8s Varda, Jean Cocteau, \u00c9ric Rohmer and Roberto Rossellini. Basically, it\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d for Criterion Collection enthusiasts. The film was nominated for the Palme d\u2019Or and, when it played at Cannes, became an immediate favorite of Quentin Tarantino, a dedicated fan of the French New Wave and one of Linklater\u2019s besties.

One of the absolute best movies you’ll see all year, “Train Dreams” is best described as “The Assassination of Jesse James” meets “Tree of Life.” The film stars Joel Edgerton as a logger working in the 1910s, but it charts the course of essentially his entire life in a way that feels both epic and intimate, chronicling love, loss and everything in between. It’s a movie made up of small moments that feel huge, with gorgeous filmmaking from director Clint Bentley and Edgerton’s best performance of his career. Don’t miss this one.
