ERm84raglA/hqdefault.jpg' alt='Romance Films Big Hero 6 Sequel ' title='Romance Films Big Hero 6 Sequel ' />This more modern story falls short of the older one, and the coincidences connecting the two are lame and unsatisfying. But everything else about the film is tastefully ambitious, moving, gorgeous, original even when its pastiche and gloriously acted Moore creates vivid characters with zero dialogue a risky, fascinating achievement. Flawed as it is, like any of Haynes films it soars into a weird empyrean nobody but he can reach. Watch Online Free Carnivale. Tim Appelo. Also New in Theaters Only the Brave, PG 1.

Great performances abound from Jeff Bridges, 6.

Moonee played brilliantly by Brooklynn Prince, 6 and her stripper turned hooker mom Bria Vinaite, 2. The film, though, is from Moonees perspective, as she leads her child gang, grifts free ice cream and waffles, frolics in swamps and strip malls, and burns down an abandoned drug house. It should be depressing as a Sundance social issues picture, but these little rascals are ebullient, often as happy as they are scrappy. Innocent of dishonest Hollywood sentimentality, the movie makes you feel like Moonees growing up in the most magical place on Earth because to her it is. Tim Appelo Atsushi NishijimaNetflix.

Harry Dean Stanton died at 9. Paris, Texas and Repo Man in 1. He plays small town loner Lucky, who lives to smoke and swap barstool philosophy. Hes like a Samuel Beckett hero, silent and eloquent, exhausted and inexhaustible, desolate and droll. Hes also a terrific singer Stanton was once a hobo folk singer who dueted with Bob Dylan and Art Garfunkel, and he sings movingly in Lucky. Hes incorrigibly solo, yet his gaunt gaze deeply engages everyone at the bar fellow WWII vet Tom Skerritt, 8. MS and Picket Fences, the bar owners slick boyfriend James Darren, 8.

Tom Cruise plays Barry Seal, a pilot who flies drugs and money for the CIA, in American Made. American Made, RTom Cruise, 5. Doug Limans American Made. He plays Barry Seal, an impulsive, daredevil pilot who flies drugs, money and hired killers for the CIA, Pablo Escobar and undercover Marine Oliver North. Its fun, fast, amoral and wild, freewheelingly based on a true story weirder than fiction. The crazy gringo who always delivers, as the Colombian drug lords call Seal, gets recruited by a shady CIA guy Domhnall Gleeson who provides him with a cool spy plane to snap closeups of Sandinistas the Reagan administrations Nicaraguan leftist enemies and Medellin drug lords. Were never sure which bits arent true did the real Seal escape DEA pursuers on a kids bike with his face white with cocaine and dont care. This is not a docudrama or biopic, but a stylish romp and a return to movie star form for Cruise, whose antihero charms us against our better judgment. Tim Appelo.

FBI lifer Mark Felt. Hes a complex character, and Liam Neeson, 6. Set within the sleek, film noirish background of nighttime Washington, its thrilling to watch Throat set in motion his intricate game. Hes a bit like Kevin Spaceys House of Cards character, but rather than use his finesse on behalf of his own power drive, Felt is devoted to something more abstract the rule of law.
