Jul 29, 2024 | gamerant.com | Bryan C. Singer |James Mangold |Brett Ratner |Tim Miller |Christopher Harkin

Deadpool & Wolverine bid farewell to Fox X-Men films, merging into MCU, where nostalgia fuels box office success. X-Men movies, with iconic moments and diverse characters, carved their own wondrous world despite flaws. From X-2 to Logan, Fox's X-Men films showcased star power, intricate storylines, and memorable performances.
‘I.S.S.’: power struggle in space – Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

Jan 22, 2024 | capecodwave.com | Tim Miller

Given current U.S.-Russian relations, “I.S.S.” (R, 95 minutes, in theaters) is especially timely. The sci-fi thriller, directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite (“Our Friend”), is set on the International Space Station, where three U.S. astronauts (Ariana DeBose of “West Side Story,” Chris Messina and John Gallagher Jr.) and three Russian cosmonauts (Maria Mashkova, Costa Ronin and Pilou Asbaek) share space and cautious friendship while conducting research experiments.
They might be mean, but they’re a lot of fun – Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

Jan 17, 2024 | capecodwave.com | Tim Miller

A movie based on a stage musical based on a movie based on a book? Might be a bit stale. But that’s not the case with the new “Mean Girls” movie musical (PG-13, 112 minutes, in theaters). It bursts with life from start to finish, with funny, fast-paced songs; comically over-the-top performances; and a relentlessly witty script from Tina Fey.
Best movies of 2023 shine a light – Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

Jan 3, 2024 | capecodwave.com | Tim Miller

Sometimes it takes me a while to grasp the obvious. That invisible lightbulb above my head will suddenly flick on, I’ll wipe the drool from my slackened jaw with my sleeve, and I’ll realize something that I should have known decades earlier. The latest lightning bolt: Movies, at their best, bear witness. This hit me while watching “20 Days in Mariupol,” Associated Press war correspondent/video journalist Mystyslav Chernov’s stunning documentary about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Dec 20, 2023 | capecodwave.com | Tim Miller

Imagine debating about movies for eight hours straight. Well, except for a pizza break. That’s what the Boston Society of Film Critics did on Dec. 10 during its meeting to choose its 2023 award winners. When it was over, “The Holdovers” and “The Zone of Interest” emerged on top.
Payne’s latest, a killer’s story, a doc on Stones’ Jones and more–Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

Nov 18, 2023 | capecodwave.com | Tim Miller

When Alexander Payne releases a movie, it’s an event. Why? Because he tends to make great films. Among his best: “The Descendants” (my favorite movie of the 2010s), “Sideways,” “Nebraska” and “Election.” His humor can be uproariously twisted, and yet Payne usually depicts his characters with empathy, and life as poignant, bittersweet – worth living despite the pain.
‘Killers of the Flower Moon’: Scorsese’s monumental history lesson–Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

Oct 24, 2023 | capecodwave.com | Tim Miller

Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” is Shakespearean in its depth and scope, and in its tragedy. Set in 1920s Oklahoma, the film presents an epic true story about greed, betrayal, hypocrisy, racism, misogyny and so much more. Though not perfect, it’s clearly the work of a master, and that master is director Scorsese.
The Burial,’ ‘Fair Play,’ ‘Reptile’: Good performances, mixed results

Oct 19, 2023 | capecodwave.com | Tim Miller

Underdog stories, whether in sports movies or courtroom dramas, usually are fairly predictable. “The Burial” (R, 126 minutes, on Prime Video), a courtroom drama directed by Maggie Betts (“The Novitiate”), doesn’t break a lot of new ground. And, though it’s “inspired” by a true story (which I always take to mean it plays fast and loose with the facts), it doesn’t always ring true. But that doesn’t stop it from being very entertaining.
‘Exorcist’ vs. ‘Saw’: Go with the bummer – Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

Oct 10, 2023 | capecodwave.com | Tim Miller

Demonic possession is such a bummer. I was reminded of this while taking in a horror double-feature the other night. With Halloween coming up, it seemed like the thing to do. First up was “The Exorcist: Believer” (R, 111 minutes, in theaters).
‘The Creator’: Are humans overrated? — Play It Again, Tim - Cape Cod Wave

Oct 5, 2023 | capecodwave.com | Tim Miller

Leave it to a sci-fi action flick about artificial intelligence to be, well, brainy. “The Creator” (PG-13, 133 minutes, in theaters), directed by Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”), can be enjoyed for what occurs on the surface, as an exciting war movie with memorable performances and the occasional funny line. But there’s so much more here.
