If you have heard about a great Nic Cage movie in theaters right now, uh, this is not it. The Retirement PlanĬast: Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, Ashley Greene, Jackie Earle Haley

The justification for the impending legislation in the background of the film may sound all too familiar, but Blue Jean’s real power comes from its examination of the human costs of living in fear. Blue Jean is a moody, delicately wrought film about how Jean, damaged from past experiences and her own internalized homophobia, is unable to feel like she belongs in either of the worlds she created for herself. At night, she hangs out at a lesbian bar with her girlfriend, Viv (Kerrie Hayes), a part of herself she keeps secret from her co-workers and students at the school where she works as a gym teacher in the day. Jean, played by a terrific Rosy McEwen in her first leading role, has painstakingly compartmentalized her existence. Georgia Oakley’s feature debut is an anguished look at life in the closet set in Northeast England in 1988 - the year the Thatcher administration introduced a set of laws banning the “promotion of homosexuality” in the name of protecting children. Here’s our friends at Vulture with the rundown, from their well-curated best of 2023 list: Speaking of the Brits, Blue Jean earned rave reviews from across the pond when it made the festival rounds, but it took all year for it to find its place on U.S. Where to watch: Available to stream on HuluĬast: Rosy McEwen, Kerrie Hayes, Lucy Halliday The first half is smoothly rote, but once the action moves fully inside the surreal world of Fun-Land Farms, the energy picks up and the ideas begin to flow. From our preview:Īs usual for Aardman projects, the movie is gorgeously polished, but it’s also slow to find its rhythm, and as a sequel arriving 23 years after the original, it sometimes feels more like an obligation than a film the studio really needed, or wanted, to make. We caught it at the London Film Festival earlier this year and were appropriately tickled. With an updated, recognizable cast but an old soul that cherishes hijinks, Dawn of the Nugget finds original heroes Ginger and Rocky as parents to a young chick, having their lives upended yet again as a new threat against chickenkind emerges from the shadows. At the stop-motion storytelling game for over 50 years, the company returns this year with a long-desired sequel to its 2000 feature Chicken Run.

Gran Turismo could have used this inspiring true story to show how video games open up possibilities and remove barriers in the real world. Games gave this kid from a low-income family a viable and affordable route into one of the world’s most elitist sports. Mardenborough’s story is real, and has a much more significant dimension than victory in some imagined gaming culture war. This kind of aggrieved posturing isn’t a good look in 2023. Gamers aren’t an oppressed minority anymore - if they ever were in any venue outside of their own heads and the media reflecting their fantasies. Based on our review there’s a lot of drama here, but Sony was fully ready to pat itself on the back. The movie didn’t fare well at the box office this past August, maybe because it’s the kind of intriguing twist on an adaptation that still feels like a corporate cash-in. Neill Blomkamp, usually a sci-fi guy, takes a hard swerve into real-life drama with Gran Turismo, which is actually based on the life of a kid who built up enough skillz on his PlayStation to become a competitive racer.
