Infinitely Polar Bear’s trailer whelmed me (no over or under, just general whelm-ment), but critical word has been resoundingly positive, and once again, Mark Ruffalo. Mark Ruffalo is always good in movies, so Mark Ruffalo playing the lead in a film is a good thing. Two smaller offerings also make their way locally this weekend, both of which are worth your time.
And how often do we get the chance to see Paul Rudd: action hunk? Let’s all keep our fingers crossed in unison for this one.įriday, July 17: Infinitely Polar Bear & Mr. I’ve had concerns about their latest ever since Edgar Wright (only one of the best directors working today) left the project over “creative differences” (as if Marvel wasn’t aware of his distinctive working habits ahead of time), but replacement director Peyton Reed has a strong track record ( Yes Man the only genuinely meh work in his filmography) and Wright and his co-writer Joe Cornish still receiving writing credits suggest the skeleton of what they had built might still be in place. On the flipside of singular voices working in film, we have the latest offering from the unstoppable Marvel juggernaut. It’s also a slight departure for director Judd Apatow, whose recent film output was becoming a bit more jaded/curdled – Trainwreck is a rom-com that reminds you that the formula can really work if room is allowed for brilliant personalities to lay their imprimatur upon genre standards and make it their own.

Carrying the majority of the film’s comedic and dramatic weight, this should mark the beginning of a successful movie career. Trainwreck is the big cinematic bow for comedian Amy Schumer, and she proves herself more than capable of making the leap. Two solid mainstream options drop this weekend. Breathlessly paced, endlessly inventive and fun for kids and adults alike, it’s a great choice for an outdoor movie, so pack some blankets and snacks and head out to Elm Grove.įriday, July 17: Trainwreck and Ant-Man open in wide release locallyĬheck local listings for showtimes/pricing Far worse ways to keep the kids occupied in the morning/early afternoon this week.ĭusk Village Park in Elm Grove (13600 Juneau Rd.)Īs for an animated picture I have seen (and talked about endlessly in a near-infinite number of ‘On the Marquee’ columns at this point), you can’t do much better than The LEGO Movie. I’ve never seen this Dreamworks picture about a cave-dwelling family forced to interact with the outside world, but reviews were moderately positive upon its release, and the voice cast (Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage, Catherine Keener) is solid.
