Review: ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ keeps franchise spinning at frenetic pace

LA Times

The thing about the “Sonic the Hedgehog” movies is that they continue to surprise — with how humorous, self-referential and even insightful they can be. Helmed at a breakneck pace by Jeff Fowler, “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” is loud, chaotic and often corny, with a visual style that can only be described as “retina-searing,” but the script by Pat Casey, …

But a movie that’s put me in mind of wanting to visit — if only to locate the scrappy sociability and beauty it displays so winningly …

Review: Reconceiving the scare that wasn’t, ‘Y2K’ is horror-comedy for nostalgic millennials

LA Times

“Saturday Night Live” alum Kyle Mooney’s directorial debut, “Y2K,” makes for a fascinating test case of Gen Z’s appetite for all things 2000s. Mooney and co-writer Evan Winter fuse the “let’s throw a big party” plot formula to “The Terminator” for their “Y2K” script, but it also feels like they just wrote down everything they could remember from the late …

Review: ‘Day of the Fight’ connects with an old combo, a down-and-out boxer seeking redemption

LA Times

The dark romance of boxing movies gets dusted off and sentimentalized anew in the New York-set drama “Day of the Fight,” actor Jack Huston’s writing and directing debut. Huston, meanwhile, introduces Pitt’s Mike as if already a last-chance icon, waking up in his dingy but silhouette-friendly apartment — Peter Simonite’s monochrome cinematography already working overtime — to do some moody …

The casual moviegoer is a thing of the past. That’s a big problem for Hollywood

LA Times

Casual moviegoing has declined, particularly since the pandemic. It was on a spontaneous trip to the movie theater that James Young took a chance on “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” Same with 2004’s “Garden State.” And the quirky “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” They weren’t movies he had on his radar, but he enjoyed …

Review: ‘Bonhoeffer,’ a dramatization of a celebrated theologian’s life, makes him a superhero

LA Times

For filmmakers with points to make about good versus evil, World War II would seem a safe space. But writer-director Todd Komarnicki’s aggressively lionizing, faith-driven movie about Bonhoeffer seems uninterested in any complexity about pacifism and violence coexisting in one man. It’s also not enough that this eager white ally is the one to get punched by a spitting bigot …

Review: Animals brave the ‘Flow’ of rising waters in a wordless, animated triumph

LA Times

Animal welfare becomes the responsibility of the animals themselves in the gorgeous, hypnotic Latvian animated feature “Flow,” in which a solitary cat encounters a catastrophic flood and, along with a dog, a bird, a capybara and a lemur, learns about more than mere survival. It’s never explained what caused the rising waters that spur the film’s action, but “Flow” itself …

Review: Civic duty leads to an inconvenient moral quagmire in Clint Eastwood’s ‘Juror #2’

LA Times

Does a small-scale human drama now qualify as an eccentric, unclassifiable studio release? Taking in the nonagenarian’s latest film, “Juror #2,” starring a no-slouch cast including Nicholas Hoult, J.K. Simmons and Toni Collette, one is struck by what’s not in it: star-mugging, superheroes, physics-defying brawls, branded messaging and CGI. While homicide is the charge being adjudicated in this handsome, midsize …
