This is an open discussion thread. Tell us what you're seeing Friday to Sunday, what you thought of it, and what's still on your list. This weekend you have plenty of options. Or are you going back to the archives, the repertory, so to speak, opting to catch up with a film from past decades?
If you're going to see one thing on the biggest screen you can find, it's probably "Godzilla Minus Zero." Takashi Yamazaki's sequel to "Godzilla Minus One" took in roughly $8M on Friday, and a $35M opening is now possible. Expect busy showings. Reviews are positive (74 on Metacritic), and that A CinemaScore seems to indicate major audience approval.
If you prefer dark comedy, Martin McDonagh's "Wild Horse Nine" is now playing. John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell play CIA agents in 1973 Chile, with Steve Buscemi, Parker Posey and Tom Waits in support. Fans of "In Bruges" and "The Banshees of Inisherin" will recognize the bickering-duo setup. Malkovich, as a dying agent threatening to publish his memoirs, is the reason to go; his performance has made him a Best Actor contender. Not McDonagh’s best, but Malkovich is sublime.
If "La Bola Negra" hasn't reached your city yet, there's a good chance it has now. Netflix is expanding Los Javis' film to 435 screens this weekend. Audiences have loved it — it has won audience awards at Toronto, San Sebastián, Busan, Sydney, Middleburg and London — while critics have cooled slightly, with its Metascore down from 87 to 77. If you'd rather wait, it comes to Netflix in December. I found it to be a chore to watch.
If you're in New York or Los Angeles, two more options open this weekend. Jordan Firstman's "Club Kid" from A24 follows a hard-partying New York club promoter who discovers he has a 10-year-old son. If the setup sounds like "Big Daddy," you're not wrong, but just grittier and more grounded, with a final act that works. It sits at 81 on Metacritic.
Peter Farrelly's "I Play Rocky" is the other, starring Anthony Ippolito as a young Sylvester Stallone fighting to star in his own script. If you're a "Rocky" fan, this one was made for you; it played to a roaring crowd at TIFF, even if critics have been more mixed. It’s the most crowd-pleasing movie you will see this awards season. Everyone else can catch it when it goes wide November 20.
And if you'd rather stay home, Lee Chang-dong's "Possible Love" is now on Netflix. It's his first film since "Burning," following two couples from very different worlds whose lives intersect over a documentary project. It starts slowly in the first hour, slowly setting up its chess moves, and runs 2 hours and 44 minutes, but give it your full attention as it slowly turns transcendent. South Korea has submitted it for the Best International Feature Oscar.
So, what are you seeing this weekend? Chime on in the comments.
