AT THE MOVIES #975 END OF THE DROUGHT
Simon Morris is confronted by an embarrassment of good, entertaining movies. And about time too…
Fly me to the moon sees Scarlett Johanssen and Channing Tatum in a romantic romp that wonders what if the moon landing really was faked? Co-starring Woody Harrelson as President Nixon’s hatchet man.
Kinds of kindness is a typically opaque collection of loosely-connected short stories by UK-Greek film-maker Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor things). Starring Emma Stone (The favourite), Willem Dafoe (The Florida project) and Jesse Plemens (Civil war).
And Twisters – 28 years after the original Twister a new crew is chasing storms in Oklahoma’s notorious “Tornado Alley”. Starring Glen Powell (Hit man) and Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the crawdads sing). Once again produced by Steven Spielberg.
