The Film Yap reviews new releases
Celebrate the 4th of July weekend by catching a flick! The Film Yap’s Christopher Lloyd runs down the list of new releases:
- The BFG
Steven Spielberg returns to the childlike wonderment of his early films with this tale of a gentle giant (Mark Rylance) who befriends a brave and inquisitive little girl. Just pure magic.”
- The Purge: Election Year
The third film in the series travels familiar ground as people protest the Purge, an annual night in which everyone is allowed to kill each other legally.”
- The Legend of Tarzan
The man-raised-by-apes story gets its nth screen iteration, with Alexander Skarsgård taking over the loin-cloth. Look for lots of CGI action and abs, abs, abs!”
- Swiss Army Man
Certainly one of the strangest movies to come along in a while, in which Daniel Radcliffe plays a dead man whose corpse is appropriated by a stranded fellow (Paul Dano), and friendship ensues.”
- Our Kind of Traitor
Ewan MacGregor and Naomi Harris play a British couple who get caught up in the intrigues of a brazen Russian mafia oligarch (Stellan Skarsgård) in this spy thriller.”
- Whiskey Tango Foxtrot – Stream It
Tina Fey shines in this semi-true tale of a meek TV journalist sent to cover war-torn Afghanistan. Darkly funny and smart. Stream It.”
