The entire island becomes sucked into the friendship drama, and McDonagh’s particular brand of violence in the air keeps the film from becoming a cozy comedy about village eccentrics.
Colin Farrell plays a farmer on the Aran Islands whose best friend (Brendan Gleeson) suddenly cuts him off, and reacts to the end of their friendship by coming hilariously and dangerously unhinged. The Banshees of Inisherin (R) Martin McDonagh’s fourth film is his first that takes place in his native Ireland, and it feels the most like his stage plays in a good way. Also with Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Brendan Cowell, Jemaine Clement, Britain Dalton, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, Dileep Rao, Giovanni Ribisi, Edie Falco, and Sigourney Weaver. (They’re left alive for that reason and no other, too.) James Cameron’s movies aren’t just dumb, they’re preachy, too. The Na’vi go from representing Native Americans to Polynesians, and the villains from the original film are resurrected so that they can be evil again. The visuals are surprisingly not that good, reminiscent of a top-end video game with both human and alien characters moving in unnatural manners and even some motion-smoothing. Picking up some 15 years after the previous film, the story has Jake Sully and Neytiri (Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña) the father of four kids on Pandora when the humans return and force them to take shelter with another clan of Na’vi who have evolved to live in the sea. Additional voices by Emilia Clarke, David Thewlis, Himesh Patel, Gemma Arterton, Joe Sugg, Rob Brydon, Peter Serafinowicz, Hugh Bonneville, and David Tennant.Īvatar: The Way of Water (PG-13) I’m not impressed. The Amazing Maurice (PG) Based on Terry Pratchett’s children’s book, this animated film is about a cat (voiced by Hugh Laurie) who seeks to con a kid and his horde of rats. And it doesn’t help at all that Cameron, who directed his own screenplay, gives his actors great wads of cliché-heavy dialogue that fall from their mouths and onto the floor with a singular lack of grace. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet simply aren’t substantial enough as the romantic leads.

What the movie doesn’t offer, however, is a compelling story. Titanic (PG-13) James Cameron’s $200-million epic offers impressively lavish production values, a satisfying taste of period flavor, and - once the great ship starts taking on water - some genuinely awesome displays of terror, destruction, and special-effects wizardry. (Opens Friday at Premiere Cinemas Burleson) Starring Cara Buono, Clare Foley, Spencer List, Michael Park, Tyler Elliot Burke, Adam Weppler, and William Sadler. She Came From the Woods (NR) Adapted from his own short film, Erik Bloomquist’s horror movie is about an evil spirit unleashed on the people at a summer camp in 1987.

Seriously Red (R) Krew Boylan stars in this comedy as a Realtor who takes up a second career as a Dolly Parton impersonator. Also with Angela Basolis, Scott Schamell, Michelle May, Aro Caitlin, and Leslie Ann Banfitch.
