Americana

  • Title: Americana
  • IMDb: link

Set up as a number of interlocking stories all centered around an expensive rare Native American ghost shirt and the desperately stupid people who want it, writer/director Tony Tost‘s Americana is an interesting exercise even if it doesn’t all quite fit together such as the extended lull in the backstabbing Mandy Starr (Halsey) returning home. The highlights here are Sydney Sweeney as stuttering waitress Penny Jo (although the controversy of her American Eagle ad isn’t likely to help the small independent film at the box office), Paul Walter Hauser as the lonely cowboy, and young Gavin Maddox Bergman as a mixed up kid who has watched too many cowboy movies claiming he is the reincarnation of Sitting Bull. As ridiculous and culturally inappropriate as he is, the kid proves surprisingly good with a bow and arrow.

Nobody 2

  • Title: Nobody 2
  • IMDb: link

Bringing back the core cast from the 2021 film, Nobody 2 takes the Mansell family on vacation as Hutch (Bob Odenkirk) attempts to recreate a vacation from his childhood for his kids (Paisley Cadorath and Gage Munroe). However, it doesn’t take long for the family to get into trouble and for Hutch’s attempt to deescalate the situation to do quite the opposite as the small town known for its water park is actually a town run by a ruthless gangster (a too-far over-the-top Sharon Stone) and a shitkicker sheriff (a completely miscast Colin Hanks).

Phineas and Ferb – Biblio-Blast!

While the kids build the world’s most chaotic bookshelf, something Lawrence (Richard O’Brien) views and approves of, Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire) sets loose an army of plants created in his own image the not even he can control. Both parts are equally wacky, and do intersect to help pare down the outrageous bookshelf before it is seen by Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb‘s (David Errigo Jr.) other parent, although neither is a standout (even if the titles of some of Lawrence’s books are humorous).

My Mother’s Wedding

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: My Mother’s Wedding
  • IMDb: link

Released without much fanfare, I can’t remember seeing a single trailer for this film (which is saying something in this day and age), the directorial debut of Kristin Scott Thomas (who also co-wrote the script) stars Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and Emily Beecham as the grown daughters who return home for their mother’s (Kristin Scott Thomas) wedding. While all three of the daughters have their own relationship issues, Johansson gets the biggest role here that ties into both her career in the Royal Navy and memories of the pair of lost fathers the girls suffered (both who died in the line of duty when they were children) which is shown through some simple, but effective, animation.

The Accountant 2

/ / Home Video
  • Title: The Accountant 2
  • IMDb: link

Pretty much the entire cast from The Accountant returns for its sequel with the notable absence of Anna Kendrick. Following the death of her mentor Ray King (J.K. Simmons), Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) enlists the help of Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) who pulls in his brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) making the sequel more of an odd couple buddy action-comedy. The mystery involving the death of Ray is a bit of a convoluted mess involving an amnesiac killing machine (Daniella Pineda) and a family fleeing El Salvador that eventually our protagonists will unwind.
