Diane says: “A wealthy man decides to fund a movie to establish his legacy. Either that or build a bridge. With the rights to a novel in hand, his aide brings in the high-level, but artsy, director (Penelope Cruz), and

Director: Dan Fogelman
Starring: Annette Bening | Antonio Banderas | Jean Smart | Mandy Patinkin | Olivia Wilde | Oscar Isaac | Samuel L. Jackson | Sergio Peris-Mencheta
Thom says: “Once I realized that the director is largely responsible for the mediocre television hit THIS IS US, I should have avoided it. A NYC couple’s tragic story reverberates over continents and lifetimes, no, really. I always enjoy Oscar

Rating: 4 cats
Director: Pedro Almodóvar
Starring: Antonio Banderas | Asier Etxeandia | César Vicente | Julieta Serrano | Leonardo Sbaraglia | Nora Navas
Chris says: “Doesn’t contain the giddy highs of Almodovar’s best and feels scattered like much of his post-VOLVER output; however, while definitely a mature work, it’s not boring like JULIETA, and the widespread praise for Antonio Banderas’ affecting, multifaceted performance

Director: Pedro Almodóvar
Starring: Antonio Banderas | Eduard Fernández | Elena Anaya | Jan Cornet | Marisa Paredes | Roberto Álamo
Bruce says: “THE SKIN I LIVE IN is an adaptation of the French novel Mygale by Thierry Jonquet. Judging from what I have read about the novel, Almodóvar’s adaptation is a very loose one. For a decade I have wished

Director: Woody Allen
Starring: Anthony Hopkins | Antonio Banderas | Gemma Jones | Josh Brolin | Naomi Watts | Pauline Collins
Diane says: “Woody Allen’s latest, starring Anthony Hopkins and Naomi Watts among others in a fab-o cast. Fast and clever, but my companions were right when they said that Allen usually has respect, if not sympathy, for his characters, and
