Thu, 04 Jan 2024 08:01:14 GMT en-US hourly 60 Michelle Yeoh can make just about everything great. While many will have been made recently aware of this with last year’s dynamic character study of a film that disguised itself as a multiverse movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once, there is so much more her filmography has to offer beyond that. While the award-winning film was a great showcase for her that truly lived up to its name, earlier works like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and beyond provide just as much proof of how she is one of the most compelling screen presences in cinema history. Throughout a career that has spanned decades, Yeoh has created a body of work beyond compare. Whenever she's in something, even when it's not quite up to her caliber, she elevates it all just by being there.

Instead, the latest from writer-director J.A. Bayona is only popping up in a handful of theaters before being sent to Netflix starting January 4. While the streamer is by no means the only one to often not give their films proper theatrical releases, it still feels disappointing each time it happens. While all releases deserve to be seen with the best visuals and sound, there is also the communal aspect of going to the movies that would serve a film like this rather well.

It's the first installment of the long-running anthology show that doesn't have creator and executive producer Nic Pizzolatto at the helm. It's also Jodie Foster's first starring role in a television series in over 40 years, although the actor has also carved out a name for herself as a director for various shows recently within her career, from Orange Is the New Black to Black Mirror. And while previous installments of True Detective have boasted all manner of polar-opposite investigative partners, Night Country also represents the first time the series is anchored around women, as Kali Reis (Catch the Fair One) steps into a role that positions her opposite Foster for arguably the show's most complicated and intriguing dynamic.

It seems like such an easy equation, one that’s sewn into the fabric of society, that we’re taught from birth. But in reality, nothing is ever that simple — especially when it comes to justice, and very especially when those searching for it aren’t white. That’s the idea at the center of Apple TV+’s Criminal Record, a new series starring Cush Jumbo as the headstrong detective sergeant June Lenker.

We've seen these colorful creatures in 8-bit, hand-drawn animation, CGI, and even live-action! Like the best sprawling properties, the creative minds behind Pokémon want anything but their world to become stale. But where else is there to go with Pikachu and the gang? Almost every avenue of filmmaking has been tapped to bring this universe to life, so what else can be done to keep it fresh? Well, after watching Pokémon Concierge, the answer feels like it's been sitting in our laps the entire time.

Earlier on in the film, Adam Driver’s Enzo Ferrari tells these same racers that they should be willing to die to win for the Ferrari brand, and as a former racer himself, the company’s owner calls racing a “terrible joy.” Throughout Ferrari, Mann and the script by the late Troy Kennedy Martin (1969’s The Italian Job), frequently equate racing to war—which makes sense considering Italy and its people are still reckoning with the pains of World War II. The Ferrari family is still grieving the losses of their past, the choices that were made, and the understanding that they’ll never be the same again. By making Ferrari less of a sports film and more of an introspective look at the car creator, Mann has ended up making a fantastic war film, and his best work since 2004’s Collateral.
