Best Movies to See in Aug.: Hobbs & Shaw, The Kitchen, Springsteen Musical

Streaming Movies 2019 Full Online

August was once a virtual graveyard for major releases. Thats not the case for this 2019 end-of-summer month, people. Nope. No sirree. This August is packed to bursting with noteworthy selections. Indie bloodbaths? Horror-anthology scarefests? Several character pieces bedecked with festival plaudits? Yes, yes, and yes. Also: were getting new movies from Richard Linklater or The Babadooks Jennifer Kent. And for those in need of a laugh, a few tweens have some very, very bad words theyd like to share with you. Heres whats coming to a theater near you.

After the Wedding (Aug. 9th)
Isabel (Michelle Williams), the cofounder of an Indian orphanage, travels back to the states to win the favor of potential benefactor (Julianne Moore). She invites the visitor to attend her daughters wedding the next day. Over the course of the weekend, layers upon layers of false pretenses get peeled back to reveal a shocking connection, a mistake two decades old, and a life hanging in the balance. Adapted from a Danish-language Academy Award nominee by Bird Boxs Susanne Bier, this gender-flipped take on the material strikes the same balance of high chamber drama and page-turning paperback intrigue.

Blinded by the Light (Aug. 14th)
Bruce Springsteen gave a voice to post-industrial smalltown America but that doesnt mean a British-Pakistani teenager named Javed (Viveik Kalra) whos suffering through Thatcher-era malaise cant also love the music of our nations blue-collar troubadour! Sure, the young mans friends and family balk at the cross-cultural interchange. But they just dont understand how Springsteens rebel-poet attitude and singular rock & roll style speaks to him and his fellow Born-to-Runners. The man himself has said that this musical from Bend It Like Beckhams Gurinder Chadha captures the spirit of his songs beautifully. Praise doesnt come any higher than that.

Bruce Springsteen Rarities Highlight 'Blinded By the Light' Soundtrack21 Things We Learned Hanging Out With Dwayne Johnson

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (Aug. 2nd)
Get two, two, two USDA-certified beefsteaks for the price of one! This Fast & Furious spin-off pits Dwayne Johnsons special agent and Jason Stathams villain-turned-ally against a former MI6 operative (Idris Elba) whos gained your run-of-the-mill cybernetically enhanced superpowers. Mission: Impossible Fallouts Vanessa Kirby is also along for the ride. People get punched. Macho one-liners get uttered. Things get blown up a lot. Each new F&F installment pushes the boundaries of physics and plausibility just a bit further. This entry may be the one where they simply chuck anything resembling reality right off the cliff.

Good Boys (Aug. 16th)
Office alumni Gene Stupnitsky and producer/cowriter Lee Eisenberg bring the world a bawdy R-rated comedy featuring kids not yet old enough to buy a ticket for it. Tween besties Max (Jacob Tremblay), Thor (Brady Noon), and Lucas (Keith L. Williams) get in big trouble when they lose a camera drone its a long story. To get it back, theyll have to survive a paintball onslaught, a perilous visit to a frat house, and their first traumatizing glimpses of porn. Its all the hilarity and humiliation of pre-pubescence, coming from fouler mouths.

The Kitchen (Aug. 9th)
Hells Kitchen, circa the late 70s. A trio of mob wives (Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elisabeth Moss) watch as their husbands get carted off to the Big House. So while the men are stuck doing time behind bars, they decide to form a criminal empire of their own to put food in their kids mouths. Turns out theyre pretty good at this whole racketeering thing. If the cast makes it sound like a comedy and the premise makes it sound like a Widows clone, rest assured that neither charge sticks. Hell hath no fury, et cetera.

Luce (Aug. 2nd)
It sounds like a ethics class thought experiment come to life: A suspicious teacher (Octavia Spencer) finds a bag of illegal fireworks in a school locker. She points the finger at a star student named Luce (Kevin Harrison Jr.). Is she singling him out because of the essay he wrote, in which he appears to advocate the use of violence to spur social change? Or has she mentally put him in a box because hes a former African child soldier who was adopted by two well-meaning white liberals (Tim Roth and Naomi Watts)? Like it or loathe it, Julius Onahs controversial adaptation of an Off-Broadway play is guaranteed to start a conversation.

The Nightingale (Aug. 2nd)
Director Jennifer Kent (The Babadook) weaves another story about a woman under extraordinary duress but the similarities stop there. Her latest takes the form of a 19th-century brush Western, as an Irish prisoner (Aisling Franciosi) in an Australian penal colony tracks down the monstrous man (Sam Claflin) that raped her and murdered her husband days earlier. As for her aboriginal guide (Baykali Ganambarr), he has his own reasons for wanting payback. Kents film shares both of their pain and rage, not once shying away from the brutality or ugliness of her situation. Brace yourself.

Ready or Not (Aug. 21st)
The indie horror stalwarts known as Radio Silence Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett bring us the story of a blushing bride (Samara Weaving) cant wait to start her new life with the perfect groom (Mark OBrien). First, however, shes got to win over his family. All she has to do is survive a night from hell as the clan of ultra-wealthy eccentrics (including Andie MacDowell and Adam Brody) hunt her for sport. Who likes their scares spiced up with class tensions, relationship squabbles, and pitch-black physical humor involving hair-trigger crossbows?

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (Aug. 9th)
From Alvin Schwartzs millennial-beloved series of books comes this adaptation binding multiple tales of the macabre in one waking nightmare. Suburban teens rouse the malevolent spirits hiding in a cursed diary and let loose a menagerie of terrors: Harold the homicidal scarecrow, a ghoul dubbed the Jangly Man, a bulbous red facial blemish containing a chilling surprise that can never be unseen, etc. Our Spielbergian heroes have to get to the bottom of a legend regarding a family and a cursed young woman or die trying! [Cue black cat screech, chains rattling, wind howling through dead branches]

Whered You Go, Bernadette (Aug. 16th)
To the outside observer, it would appear that Bernadette Fox (Cate Blanchett) has it all: a loving husband (Billy Crudup), a MacArthur Genius grant, a gorgeous Seattle home. But communication has grown strained, she hasnt done any architecture work in years, and her agoraphobia has turned the house into an exceptionally lovely prison. Its enough to make a woman want to vanish into thin air which she does without warning. Its up to baffled spouse (Billy Crudup) and daughter (Emma Nelson) to track her down. Welcome to Richard Linklaters A Woman on the Verge of a Breakdown.

Lodge 49 Season 2 Review: And Now Our Moment of Zen

Streaming Full Movies 2020 Online free

Dreams are important, right? Sean Dud Dudley asks midway through the second season of AMCs Lodge 49. This isnt just a metaphorical discussion for Dud (Wyatt Russell), a shaggy former pool cleaner whose optimism never flags even though hes technically homeless and barely survived a shark attack at the end of Season One. No, Duds best friend Ernie Fontaine (Brent Jennings) has recently told him about a man who paints images from his own prophetic dreams, then watches the paintings come true. So dreams are both important and real to Dud and to Lodge 49, an addictively strange, nigh-indescribable drama whose ongoing existence feels like a dream that somebody painted into the Peak TV landscape.

Watch Alec Benjamin's Poignant Video for 'Must Have Been the Wind'Hear Skrillex, Boys Noize and Ty Dolla $ign Team Up for 'Midnight Hour'

The core plot, such as it is, involves Dud and Ernies membership in a local fraternal order that has like the guys themselves, and Duds sister Liz (Sonya Cassidy), and the entire world around them seen much better days. The first season (now streaming on Hulu) was practically half over before anything resembling a story appeared. Season Two starts in a crazy place, with a perfect celebrity cameo, before jumping back six weeks to begin the long, meandering, and yet utterly watchable tale of how our heroes wound up in this particular jam. In general, TV overuses this kind of in media res opening, but its extremely useful for a series that leans much more on vibe than story to throw down an early narrative marker like this.

Yet if Lodge 49 often seems to be about nothing, it also manages to say a lot about everything: hopes and dreams and disappointments, and finding reasons to go on when there doesnt seem to be much point. The tiny nature of it all is a feature, not a bug, as the series teeters between the naive idealism of Dud and the hard-earned cynicism of Ernie and Liz. This year, Liz gets a job at a new theme restaurant, whose name, Higher Steaks, feels like the creative team winking at the idea that the series should be more eventful. There is a bit more plot this time, and also a bit more openness to the idea that there could be something genuinely magical about the Lodge.

But even as we meet the dream painter (played by Cheech Marin) and get occasional glimpses of some kind of donkey unicorn, the focus remains on the three core characters and their friends, from Lizs motley but loyal restaurant pals to Lodge 49s flaky but well-meaning apothecary Blaise (David Pasquesi) and Connie (Linda Emond), the ailing reporter torn between Ernie and new Lodge boss Scott (Eric Allan Kramer). Where too many current dramas move slowly because they dont have enough plot to fill a full season, Lodge 49 takes its sweet time because its more interested in the feeling of being in this place and around these people than it is on finding out what happens next. Thats placing a very large burden on the actors, the writers, and the directors to make this leisurely stroll feel worthwhile, but Lodge 49 succeeds at almost every turn (*).

(*) The start of the new season periodically checks in on Connies adventures at Lodge 1 in England, and those scenes are the first time the show has made me impatient for something to happen already.

In particular, Season Two confirms the amount of electricity radiating from Cassidy in every scene about Lizs attempt to find happiness in a profoundly disappointing life. Liz isnt part of the lodge, and Ernie already exists as Duds philosophical counterweight. So she could easily feel extraneous, like the one regular on a superhero show who doesnt know the main characters secret identity. But Cassidy is so funny in depicting Lizs barely-repressed rage that her subplots always play as a bonus, rather than a distraction. Like Dud, Ernie, Scott, and even many of us watching at home, shes looking for a world that doesnt seem to exist anymore, if it ever did. Shes just louder and more impatient in her search than they are. (Dud and Lizs favorite shared activity is watching TV on her living room couch; suffice it to say that hed probably enjoy Lodge 49 a lot more than she would.)

Over time, Lodge 49 develops a soft spot for almost everyone. Scott keeps gassing on about how to make the lodge great again, but the new season also depicts the emotional burden that leadership places on him. Ernie works as a salesman for a plumbing supply company where his co-workers constantly make him die a little inside, but we find out that his boss Bob (Brian Doyle-Murray) recently took an online poetry class, and now, Bob says, I see poetry everywhere.

Thats just how Lodge 49 works. Its a show about small people living small lives, but it also sees poetry everywhere.

Lodge 49 returns to AMC on August 12th. Ive seen four episodes.

Tom Holland, Avengers Co-Stars Talk Spider-Man Split From Marvel Cinematic Universe

Free Movie Streaming Sites

Tom Holland, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and some of the stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe opened up at Disneys D23 expo about the Spider-Man split between Sony and Marvel Studios.

Holland who played Peter Parker in five MCU films despite Sony owning the classic superhero didnt address the situation outright while promoting his animated film Onward at D23, but he did tell the audience, Its been a crazy week, but I want you to know I am grateful from the bottom of my heart and I love you 3,000.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Holland elaborated on the situation, Basically, weve made five great movies. Its been five amazing years. Ive had the time of my life. Who knows what the future holds? But all I know is that Im going to continue playing Spider-Man and having the time of my life. Its going to be so fun, however we choose to do it. The future for Spider-Man will be different, but it will be equally as awesome and amazing, and well find new ways to make it even cooler.

Marvel Unveils Phase 4 Plans: 'Thor 4,' 'Eternals,' 'Blade' RebootSpider-Man's Marvel Cinematic Universe Involvement in Jeopardy as Disney, Sony Face-Off

Under a unique partnership between two rival studios, Sony following a pair of disappointing Amazing Spider-Man films loaned out the character to Marvel Studios as part of a profit-sharing deal. Hollands Spider-Man appeared in three MCU films Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame as well as the standalone Homecoming and Far From Home, both co-produced by the Disney-owned Marvel Studios and Sonys Columbia Pictures.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that the partnership between Sony and Marvel would end after stalled negotiations, making Spider-Mans future in the MCU tenuous. Sony cited Feiges increased workload Phase 4 films and the numerous Disney+ television projects as one of the reasons for the Spider-Man split.

Feige didnt address the situation during Marvels D23 panel, but he told EW, Im feeling about Spider-Man gratitude and joy. We got to make five films within the MCU with Spider-Man: two standalone films and three with the Avengers. It was a dream that I never thought would happen. It was never meant to last forever. We knew there was a finite amount of time that wed be able to do this, and we told the story we wanted to tell, and Ill always be thankful for that.

At D23, Rolling Stone Senior Writer Jamil Smith spoke to several of Hollands Avengers co-stars about Spider-Mans departure from the MCU.

Its really upsetting, Scarlet Witch portrayer Elizabeth Olsen said. Hes such an addition, hes such a light and an energy and a humor. He added so much to the franchise, its really disappointing.

Paul Bettany, who plays Vision in the MCU, told Smith that, more than the Spider-Man character, he would miss Hollands presence at events like D23 and Comic-Con. Having him around on the set and at these events, hes such a shining light and always happy, Bettany said. Im really gonna miss him. Hes so gifted.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier stars Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie echoed their fellow Avengers stars. We havent given up hope yet, Stan said of a possible Sony/Marvel reunion. Were saying, Lets hopefully have them work it out. Because it would be weird to not have him. You have to trust Kevin Feige.

Mackie added, And theres no one else to make fun of My boots would have no heel if we dont have him.

Agent Carter star Hayley Atwell likened the situation to MCU fans emotional attachment to the superheroes on-screen. Its not always just the happy ending; theres got to be the bittersweet reality of people dont always end up where you want them to be or theyre not always going to be around, Atwell sold Smith. Thats an important life lesson to know, its something every human being faces at some point.

Marvel and director Ryan Coogler announced at Disneys D23 expo Saturday that Black Panther II will hit theaters in May 2022.

Although a sequel to the blockbuster superhero film was a given considering its massive box office success, when the Marvel Cinematic Universe unveiled its initial Phase 4 schedule, the years 2020 and 2021 were stocked with new franchises (The Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Disney+ series (WandaVision, The Falcon and Winter Soldier, Loki, Hawkeye) and sequels like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder, but no Black Panther follow-up.
