Weekly Recap: Bohemian Rhapsody, Suspiria, Beautiful Boy & More!


Bohemian Rhapsody is the big release of the week. The Freddie Mercury/Queen biopic fails to deliver anything more than some decent rock show lip synchs on the big screen, but more are out there. Suspiria heads to more theaters this weekend, along with some other films worth checking out, and others that aren't. I also have an early review up for Green Book. At home this week, even more audiences will now have a chance to see Mandy. Finally, be sure to check out the many horror-themed podcast episodes from last month. Thanks for reading!


In Theaters Now:

(Now in more theaters, still not very good)

(A slow-burn mystery, now in more theaters)

Sex, Drugs, Car Chases – It’s Not High School, It’s ’21 Jump Street’

Image
21 Jump Street :  4 out of 5 Jenko:   Always one strap it.   Always So anyone that was hoping for the dark and gritty reboot of the 80s undercover cop drama 21 Jump Street in the same way that Michael Mann rebooted Miami Vice , they will be disappointed with what has actually been made.  Instead, this is a delightfully funny and wild take on that material, which is like a crack-addicted blend between John Hughes and Lethal Weapon .  This new take on 21 Jump Street maintains the same basic premise of assigning cops to undercover roles as high school kids, but ups the raunchy factor significantly.  The film is at times crude, but also a lot cleverer and more self aware than one would expect.  It is entertaining in a wonderfully over-the-top sort of way, with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum making for a great comedic team.

‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’ Tears Through The Floors And Hits Rock Bottom

Image
Texas Chainsaw 3D :   1 out of 5 Nikki:   Do you know anything about this place? Heather:   Just the address. Starting this year out on the right foot, the latest entry in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise manages to put Hollywood in a position to go nowhere but up.   I do enjoy my share of horror films and was happy to enter into this film with an open mind, but man is it terrible.   Given my love for the original film and my general fondness for the second, the idea of a film billed as a direct continuation of the original entry written and directed by Tobe Hooper was slightly intriguing.   Even in a post- Cabin in the Woods world, where horror movies can be boiled down to words on a dry erase board, I went for it.   The results were not good.   Texas Chainsaw 3D is not just a bad film, it is an idiotic one that literally cannot do basic math.   Read on to find out why.
