Can You Ever Forgive Me? is just the movie to pivot Melissa McCarthy towards more serious fare a la Steve Carell and once you see it you'll know there's a good chance she earns her second Oscar nomination to push her further in that direction. With a fantastic supporting turn from Richard E. Grant and a behind the scenes team of Marielle Heller and Nicole Holofcener, it's the must-see of the week. Check it out at Dipson Theatres Amherst and Eastern Hills.
As for the rest:
• Word isn't very good on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB. See it at Regal Cinemas, AMC Theatres & Flix to decide for yourself.
• The Grinch is surprisingly getting ok reviews even if none call it an inspiring new take on the material. It's also at Regals, AMCs & Flix.
• Overlord Movie on the other hand is getting some real good buzz saying the trailers don't do it justice (or perfectly hide what's actually going on for audience appeal). It's also at Regals, AMCs & Flix.
• In Regal's recent move to bring smaller fare to #Buffalo on a consistent if not always easily accessible way, Prospect hits Regal Elmwood.
"Film can be that balm of Gilead. Film can be that prescription for many ills of the world. Just like years ago, when Lenin said film is the most powerful mechanism of the 20th century. They certainly knew that you could turn a whole generation. You don’t need to fight wars anymore; just create a series of films that move and motivate and resonate with people and you could change a situation."
