Actually, there’s no MUST SEE in theaters right now, but here are three pretty good movies, plus a recent hit and an overlooked classic.
Jake Gyllenhaal is brilliant in two roles in the psychological thriller Enemy. Like all Wes Anderson movies, The Grand Budapest Hotel is wry and imaginative, but not one of his most engaging. Just out today, Dom Hemingway is a fun and profane romp.
My DVD/Stream of the Week is the gloriously entertaining American Hustle. Amid an all-star cast, I think that Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence and Louis C.K. steal the show. American Hustle is now available on DVD from Netflix and streaming from Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, YouTube and Google Play.
Reportedly, James Garner and Julie Andrews have each tagged the biting anti-war satire The Americanization of Emily as their favorite movie, and Turner Classic Movies will be playing it on April 6.
Finally, baseball season has begun, so it’s time to check out this wonderfully mad movie list: Bob Calhoun’s Zombies in the Outfield and Cats in the Owners’ Box: The Top Ten Odd and Overlooked Baseball Movies for RogerEbert.com.
