To all the Boys: Always and Forever.
This week, Netflix has revealed the long-awaited final chapter in the iconic teen rom-com movie series. To All The Boys: Always and Forever sees Lana Condor (Lara Jean Covey) and boyfriend Noah Centineo as Peter Kavinsky’s return to school as the two of them prepare for their final high school year as well as their young and unpredictable adult years. You can stream it on Netflix.
Judas and the Black Messiah
The movie that is inspired by real events features Judas and Black Messiah star Daniel Kaluuya as the late Black Panther and Civil Rights leader Fred Hampton, and the bodyguard (and FBI informant) LaKeith Stanfield is his bodyguard William O’Neil. It displays Hampton’s final months, days and hours, his horrific death and O’Neil’s vital role to ruin him. Shaka King’s biopic is likely to be amongst the most talked about movies of 2021 with supportive works by Dominique Fishback, Jesse Plemons, Ashton Sanders and Martin Sheen. You can stream it on HBO Max.
Barb & Star go to Vista Del Mar
In Josh Greenbaum’s Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, Bridesmaids Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig assemble for what is primed to be another vivid and entertaining comedy. Two life-long friends who have come from their home town in the midwest for holiday at a lavish resort in Florida, Wiig and Mumolo feature as Star and Barb, enter into all kinds of dangerous tomfoolery. Stream the movie now on Netflix.
Willy’s Wonderland
If you’re a lover of Nicholas Cage movies then you’ll enjoy seeing him in this action-horror movie where he stars as a drifter turned janitor. In Kevin Lewis’ action horror-like movie Cage stars in an entertainment center trapped in a fight for life against a set of murderous animatronic puppets. You can stream it on Amazon, Apple, Vudu, Vimeo.
The Wanting Mare
The Wanting Mare is a very fascinating, epoch-like tale set in a setting close to our own in a distant universe. The film is located in the city of Whitren, a coastal town on the distant planet of Anmaere, where wild horses are caught annually to be transported to windy Levithen. Set in the centre of the city, it follows a line of women who are plagued by the illusion of a long lost — presumably better — history. You can stream it on Amazon, Apple, Vudu, Vimeo.
Dead pigs
The first woman of Asian origin to lead a significant Hollywood franchise holder, Birds of Prey director Cathy Yan, made history last year. However, Yan’s debut in 2018, Dead Pigs, has only been made available to Western audiences recently through Mubi, despite its increasingly popular presence. Yan follows a series of off-beat characters including one down-and-out pig farmer, one busboy, one jaded affluent female, and an ex-pat architect as their lives interwoven and converge as a flood of pork carcasses floats across The Yangtze River and is ever closer to Shanghai. A quest for intergeneration disputes in a highly status-driven culture.
Marvel’s behind the mask
Apart from the predominant way that Disney spreads the high profile shows of the company such as WandaVision or The Mandolorian to mainstream culture, Disney Plus is fast evolving into a forum designed to promote awareness and knowledge of the past of the company. The new documentary showcasing creators and authors from behind many of Marvel’s most famous personalities, including the Black Panther, Miles Morales, Ms Marvel, Luke Cage, the X-Men, Captain Marvel and more, will be featured in this specific installation. Marvel’s Behind the Mask. Stream it on Disney Plus.
St. Maud
Another of the latest movies released is St Maud, a funny biblical horror film with chilling characters by writer and director Rose Glass. Morfydd Clark is the headline star Maud, a dedicated spiritual nurse who slowly but surely is obsessed to save her patient Amanda, who is dying (Jennifer Ehlemind )’s – whether or not she desires to be rescued. You can stream it on Epix.
Sator
The Sator is an outdoor mystery which is the second horror feature of Jordan Graham. A disorganized household, which is alone in a wilderness jungle, is becoming victim to a wicked god-like body known only as “Sator,” the machinations of which can be seen only by Nani, the distressing mother of the family played by Peterson at the end of June. Sator is a prime pick when you are a fan of heartburning horror with skilful visual narratives.
