Martin reprised his role as George Banks from Charles Shyer’s 1991 film on Saturday when he hosted “Saturday Night Live” alongside Martin Short. The parody sketch advertised a new sequel, “Father of the Bride: Part VIII,” which features Martin’s daughter Annie (Heidi Gardner) preparing to get married yet again after surviving seven divorces. Martin is less than enthused about this prospect, considering his daughter’s track record with marriage and the continued financial burden that her wedding habit has placed on him....

If it seems like I’m getting ahead of myself, rest assured “Stranger Things” Season 4 starts with an infuriating custom of our current TV age: an in media res intro. The first eight minutes, which have been available online for days, are technically a flashback, but they serve the same function as all the other openers that start in the middle of a story rather than, you know, at the beginning....

Played by a haunting Cate Blanchett, Tár inhabits an exclusive intersection of art, expertise, and intellectualism that is rooted in Berlin but spans continents, one that the film’s renowned costume designer Bina Daigeler and production designer Marco Bittner Rosser bring to life with upscale finesse, through the glories and fault lines of the problematic master’s legacy as she falls from grace. To Daigeler, minimalism was one of the vital keywords of Tár’s wardrobe, a quality she put front and center, contrasting some of the dazzlingly maximalist work she’s made her name with, like the Oscar-nominated costumes of “Mulan” (2020) and the vibrant films of Pedro Almodóvar....

Courtesy Everett Collection 2. Dog Day Afternoon (1975) Why Should I Watch? I’m jealous of those experiencing “Dog Day Afternoon” for the first time because it’s such a whirling dervish of emotions and edge-of-year-seat suspense. Then again, even if you’ve seen it for the thousandth time you’ll still find something new to grab onto. Al Pacino, in a role that (I’ll say it again) should have gotten him an Oscar, plays bank robber Sonny, whose attempts to make a clean getaway with some life-changing money goes pear-shaped from the start....

Chastain’s concept, eventually penned by “Catwoman” and “Harriet the Spy” screenwriter Theresa Rebeck, was cooked up on the heels of plenty of other successful, interesting female-centric action outings, from “Atomic Blonde” and “Lucy” to “Wonder Woman” and “Mad Max: Fury Road.” More than three years after its announcement (and with at least one casting switcheroo, swapping original star Marion Cotillard for Diane Kruger), “The 355” finally lands in a world in which films like “Birds of Prey,” “Black Widow,” “The Old Guard,” and “Gunpowder Milkshake” have already been released and proven that there’s indeed a hunger for this smart twist on an old formula....

Writer-director Matt Reeves explained that while his take on the Dark Knight is definitely gritty — and reportedly inspired by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide — the film was always meant to appeal to a wide range of audiences.
