Highest 2 Lowest
★★★ Added

There are two scenes in 'Highest 2 Lowest' that feel like Spike Lee is having fun while leaving his mark on this homage to a landmark crime flick. One centers on the ransom drop, which involves the Bronx subway line, a backpack, a number of interchangeable pick-up men on motorcycles, and an outdoor performance by salsa icon Eddie Palmieri.
The second takes place once King and the kidnapper finally meet face to face. Thanks to playlist of unsigned artists that…

Friendship
★★★ Added

'Friendship' sets you up for a cross-comic dynamic: Imagine 'I Love You Man' as filtered through 'I Think You Should Leave,' and that’s the bullseye that writer-director Andrew DeYoung’s feature debut is aiming for.

What Bong Joon Ho's dystopian sci-fi satire lacks in sharpness, it more than makes up for by showcasing Robert Pattinson as an endlessly resurrected, infinitely copied schlub.

He’s also why the second half of "Mickey 17" works twice as strong as the first. The former heartthrob is now deep into his wild-card phase as the 21st century’s primo screen weirdo, leveraging his handsomeness and charisma in order to sell bolder, batshit character idiosyncrasies.

Is ‘Sinners’ a Western, Crime Thriller, Southern Gothic, or Monster Movie? Yes. Ryan Coogler’s messy but rollicking take on a vampire story blends and bends genres, but it never skimps on entertainment value.

Truthfully, "Sinners" might be more interesting before the vampires show up. Coogler has fun with the logistics of letting the wrong one in, as former friends and neighbors try to finagle an invitation they didn’t need before.

But if Sinners is messy, it’s sometimes pretty glorious, too. Coogler is swinging wide and far beyond the boundaries of franchise fare.
