Skip: ticket to paradise

ticket to paradise? This is a one-way ticket to Snoozeville! Not even Julia Roberts and George Clooney can salvage this icy-paced rom-com devoid of any “roms” or “coms.” More like rom-come on!

Here’s Fletcher Peters’ take:

“ticket to paradise seemed to have it all: a glittering location, a light-hearted story and, to top it off, two of the greatest movie stars of all time. With Julia Roberts and George Clooney at the helm, ticket to paradise was supposed to be an all inclusive cruise full of good times. Add the director of Mama Mia! Here we go againtwo of Library ladies, and the hunk of Emily in Paris-What’s not to like?

This film. This film is unfortunately not at all likable. I didn’t expect ticket to paradise be Ocean’s Eleven-meets-When Harry Met Sally, but after watching its lovely trailer over and over again, I expected to have a little fun. It might be a bit like Marry me-meets-The wedding of my best friend. I can have a great time, even with an overload of cheese. Unfortunately, ticket to paradise really does not deliver.

But there’s not enough charisma in the world to fuel the boring script of ticket to paradise. There is no desire, an accessory that Julia Roberts wears with expertise The wedding of my best friendnor the exquisite glamor of Notting Hill. Roberts’ chemistry with Clooney recreates what they had in Ocean’s Eleven, but with no real excitement or stake, why are we watching? If we wanted to see George and Julia, our old pals, having fun, we could just watch videos from the press tour for this movie. As much as I wanted to add ticket to paradise to my long list of rom-coms to watch again and again, unfortunately I’m going to have to resort to these promotional YouTube clips and Ocean’s Eleven In place.”

See: Inside Amy Schumer

Inside Amy Schumer returns after six years a little less messy on the edges, but just as biting and satirical. Come for the ubiquitous shapewear dispatch, stay for the fart jokes. (Seriously!)

Here is Kyndall Cunningham’s take:

“Season 5 of Inside Amy Schumer is another fun showcase of the comedian’s skill in sticking to what she knows rather than trying to comment on a wider range of issues, as too many progressive comics aim to do. Likewise, it’s a relief that the Trainwreck star is able to demonstrate some growth (like resisting his early obsession with nonsensical race jokes) without completely overhauling the elements of his comedy that actually work.

Based on the show’s extended hiatus and its new home at Paramount+, a fifth season of Inside Amy Schumer was never going to be the catchy, must-have kind of television that helped catapult the comedian’s career. However, it’s proof that Schumer is still a star, despite the general rejection she often receives online for her brand of raunchy, feminist humor.

Skip: black adam

black adam is a strong and obnoxious DC superhero misfire. A movie starring Dwayne Johnson, Noah Centineo, and Aldis Hodge in nearly unassailable lycra suits is the true nail in DC Comics’ cinematic coffin.

Here’s Nick Schager’s take:

“Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a charismatic and popular star who, with the possible exception of Michael Bay pain and gainby Peter Berg The summaryand Justin Lin Fast Five—has never made a very good, let alone great film. This sequence continues with black adam (October 21), Johnson’s first official foray into superheroics, in which he makes a WWE turn as the titular character, a resurrected former meta-human who thinks murder is the best way to send enemies. He’s a big baddie who’s very insane, though it’s moviegoers who are likely to be irritated by this lame comic book-based origin story, which mimics Venom pivoting around a supposed villain who’s meant to do good, minus the sense of humor that has at least made Tom Hardy’s Marvel vehicle on and off fun.

For all its epic intentions, the film feels small, confined to a generic fictional location that it quickly decimates. The material only comes to life during those rare instances when Hodge and Brosnan have the chance to build a rapport rooted in their shared history. Unfortunately, like the affectionate exchanges of Atom Smasher and Cyclone, these moments are crushed under the weight of spectacular fights in which no one actually gets hurt (until, randomly, they do) and nothing really changes. . While genre fans can rejoice at the sight of Adam obliterating a child’s room decorated with Justice League posters and toys, the main impression – underscored by a post-credits scene with an oversized cameo — is that it’s a trial run for Adam facing potentially bigger future showdowns, should box office receipts warrant a sequel.

See: American Horror Story: NYC

American Horror Story: NYC is a surprisingly competent addition to the anthology series, but could never capture the horror of New York’s most haunted landmark: The Forever 21 in Times Square.

Dukovic/FX bet

Here’s Emma Stefansky’s take:

“It’s 1981, and all is not well on the streets of New York. American Horror Story: NYC, whose plot outside of the location has been kept entirely secret, begins with a pile of trash lining a nighttime city street, a fairly common sight even in modern-day New York, and a gesture symbolic hinting at what’s in store for the eleventh season of Ryan Murphy’s unlikely hit horror anthology. This is a story of the underworld, of death and desire amid the city’s scum during a particularly trying time.

There’s an air of unfamiliar doom that hovers over the show even in its earliest episodes, with people repeatedly mentioning an ominous feeling permeating the town, mumbling things like “Something dark is coming.” Isn’t it always? AHS: New York has all the Murphy-esque signatures, and more: it’s sexy, it’s salacious, and it’s subversive, not least because of the era and the community in which it’s set. Like most seasons of this show, New York starts off strong, though it’s hard at this point to tell exactly what’s going on.
