The promo materials have focused on Will Smith's Genie, which makes sense - he's a hugely charismatic screen presence, even when he's digitally painted a deep cerulean blue. But as of publishing, here's what the schedule looks like.Īladdin (May 24): Disney's live-action revamps of their beloved '90s animated films proceed apace, though there's some worry that this one may miss a step or two. Note: This year's release calendar remains volatile - several premiere dates have shifted and continue to do so. (We haven't seen 'em yet, in most cases - this is just a list of 27 films that piqued our interest.) But the NPR movies team also took care to point you to some of the smaller, quieter, weirder movies coming to screens in the coming months. ![]() Sure, there are capes and cartoons aplenty we've listed several below. This year, as every year, there's a lot of genre fare to consume - including an unusually robust crop of biopics. See also: "popcorn movies," "comic-book movies." "Summer movie" is a term, after all, that has taken on a negative connotation, as it tends to be deployed by those looking to sniffily dismiss the whole crop of films that come out in the months without an R. Is it weird to keep asserting that Summer Movie Season starts Memorial Day weekend, when Avengers: Endgame, the ultimate summer movie, and also the year's (the decade's! the century's!) biggest blockbuster, opened last month? Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Giles Keyte/Sony Pictures, Emily Aragones/Amazon Studios Pain & Glory may be Almódovar’s most resplendent and moving film, a panorama of vibrant paint-box colors and even more intense emotions-and a hymn to the mysterious whatever-it-is that keeps any of us going, in the years, months or days before our bodies betray us.(Clockwise from top left) Toy Story 4, Aladdin, The Kitchen, Dark Phoenix, Men In Black: International, Late Night.ĭisney/Pixar, Daniel Smith/Walt Disney Studios, Alison Cohen Rosa/Warner Bros. But an anniversary screening of one of his older films sets off a chain of events that shifts everything: A lost love reappears as if conjured from a dream, and other bits of his past-particularly recollections of his mother, played as a young woman by a radiant Penelope Cruz-reassemble into a joyous, haunting interior monologue that demands to be explored visually, through his art. Worse yet, his suffering is so intense that he may not care instead of life after death, he’s settling for death before death, a premature leave-taking that’s a betrayal not just of his gifts, but of the time on earth any of us are given. In Pedro Almódovar’s Pain & Glory, Antonio Banderas gives the performance of a lifetime as 60-ish filmmaker Salvador Mallo-a stand-in, more or less, for Almódovar himself-who’s in so much physical pain that he’s uncertain whether he’ll ever work again. ![]() In any life, there’s only so much time to do all we want and need to do. ![]()
