Minecraft
Starring: Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers Directed by: Jared Hess
Four misfits are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world while embarking on a quest with an unexpected, expert crafter.
Critics review:
Hess’ take on Minecraft is essentially a meathead version of “The Wizard of Oz.” Four ragtag Idaho acquaintances blunder into the Overworld and beg Jack Black’s wizard-bearded blowhard for help returning home. Yes, Toto, there’s a cubist dog, too

The Friend
Starring: Naomi Watts, Bill Murray Directed by: Scott McGehee, David Siegel
In The Friend, writer and teacher Iris (Naomi Watts) finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Bill Murray) dies suddenly and bequeaths her his beloved 150 lb. Great Dane. The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones, his looming presence constantly reminding her of her friend’s problematic choices in both life and death. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with the animal, she begins to come to terms with her past, her lost friend, and her own creative inner life.
Content expanded.
Critics review:
Naomi Watts and Bill Murray are funny and touching as the most recent guardians of a 150-pound Great Dane named Apollo, but the scene-stealing pup scampers off with this slight but irresistible character study and wins a special place in your heart.

Hell of a Summer
Starring: Fred Hechinger, Finn Wolfhard Directed by: Billy Bryk | Finn Wolfhard
Hell of a Summer follows 24-year-old camp counselor Jason Hochberg (Fred Hechinger), who arrives at Camp Pineway thinking his biggest problem is that he feels out of touch with his teenage co-workers. What he doesn’t know is that a masked killer is lurking on the campgrounds, brutally picking counselors off one by one.
Critics review:
The directors’ acting backgrounds translate to an ensemble of entertaining and lively performances, though their debut is less effective in form and slasher thrills.

Freaky Tales
Starring: Pedro Pascal Directed by: Ryan Fleck, Anna Bodem
An NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teenage punks, neo-Nazis and a debt collector embark on a collision course in 1987 Oakland, Calif.
Critics review:
Even with all the psychic energy and violent revenge fantasies, it’s the performances that help keep this tale grounded. Actors including Pascal, Normani, Thorne, Ellis, and the late Angus Cloud.
