What I’m Seeing This Week: I have no desire to see Deadpool & Wolverine, so it’s slim pickings this week! I think I’m going to go with A Quiet Place: Day One at the Regal Ithaca Mall since it’s getting better reviews than Fly Me to the Moon, which is at both the Regal and Cinemapolis.
Also in Theaters: It’s close, but Twisters has usurped Inside Out 2 as my favorite new movie now playing in Ithaca that I’ve already seen on the strength of its outstanding soundtrack. If 103.7 QCountry is your go-to local radio station too, you’re probably already familiar with “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” by Luke Combs; I also really like “Song While You’re Away” by Tyler Childers, “Ain’t In Kansas Anymore” by Miranda Lambert, and “The Cards I’ve Been Dealt” by Warren Zeiders. Both of these films are at the Regal. And, jeez, that’s kinda it. If you’re a horror movie fan, I recommend MaXXXine (Cinemapolis) over Longlegs (both Cinemapolis and the Regal).
Home Video: I recently reviewed the film Under the Fig Trees for Educational Media Reviews Online and recommended it for all library collections which have a global scope as a fine addition from North Africa or that focus on labor issues or women’s rights. It’s available on DVD and a variety of streaming video platforms via Film Movement.
