There are some interesting movies out there this weekend. In theaters we have the already controversial Marilyn Monroe biopic “Blonde” (it comes to Netflix at the end of the month); the lysergic David Bowie documentary “Moonage Daydream” (suitable for IMAX); a hair-raising suspense drama called “God’s Country” that I saw and liked at Sundance; and, going wide after last week’s opening, the brawny Viola Davis historical epic “The Woman King” (which I saw and loved in Toronto). On demand, there’s a new Fletch movie that no one was expecting, called “Confess, Fletch,” available at premium prices and starring Jon Hamm, while one of the better-reviewed foreign-language films of 2022, Croatia’s “Murina,” comes to the Kino Now platform. (All title hyperlinks are to trailers.)
I will weigh in on some of these next week. For now, I am fried from wall-to-wall moviegoing in Toronto and am taking a few days of downtime. You will simply have to content yourself with a photo of Bodhi appearing to drive a golf cart.
