Robert Pattinson as ‘Mickey 17’, Amanda Seyfried unravels ‘Seven Veils’ New Theatrical Releases for March 7 from FilmsGoneWild.com
Mickey 17
Starring: Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Directed by: Bong Joon Ho
Mickey 17, known as an “expendable,” goes on a dangerous journey to colonize an ice planet.
What the Critics are Saying:
It’s Pattinson’s performance(s), toggling between light and pitch black, that really keep Mickey 17 from being crushed under its own bulk.
– David Fear, Rolling Stone
Mickey 17 leaves us feeling like we’ve been cloned ourselves, split between admiration for Bong’s audacious vision and frustration at its muddled execution.
– Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Bong keeps things zipping along, and with such nimbleness that the movie’s heavier ideas never weigh it down.
– Manohla Dargis, New York Times

Seven Veils
Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Directed by: Atom Egoyan
After years away, theater director Jeanine (Academy Award® nominee Amanda Seyfried) re-enters the opera world to stage her former mentor’s most famous work. Haunted by dark and disturbing memories from her past, Jeanine allows her repressed trauma to color the present as her personal and professional lives begin to unravel.
What the Critics Say:
Resituating classic operas in updated contexts is, by now, old hat… But with “Seven Veils” Mr. Egoyan has done something more interesting, weaving a new narrative into and around the opera until the two become a dense, dark thicket of their own.
– Zachary Barnes, Wall Street Journal
[Atom Egoyan] could have simply filmed his latest Canadian Opera Company remounting of “Salome,” a visceral Bible extrapolation… Instead he chose to make fresh drama out of it, syncing his screen and stage passions to mesmerizing effect.
– Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Queen of the Ring
Starring: Emily Bett Rickards Directed by: Ash Avildsen
An extraordinary, true-life tale that follows Mildred Burke, the legendary professional wrestler and single mom who defied incredible odds to become the first million-dollar female athlete and longest reigning champion at a time when the sport was banned across most of America.
What critics are saying:
“One senses that Avildsen was desperate to pack an emotional punch, but he could have pulled a few instead.”
– Natalia Winkelman, New York Times
“Queen of the Ring” isn’t a film I’ll watch more than once, but it’s a story that resonates with me. The nostalgia lands, but the inspiration sticks.
– Sherin Nicole, RogerEbert.com
“Queen of the Ring” doesn’t measure up; it plays like a soap opera given the ESPN Classic treatment, fine for a career overview, but not quite ready for a title shot.
– Adam Graham, Detroit News
In The Lost Lands
Starring: Mila Jovovich, Dave Bautista; Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson
Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and based on George R.R. Martin’s short story, the story centers on a queen who, desperate to fulfill her love, makes a daring play: she sends the powerful and feared sorceress Gray Alys (Mila Jovovich) to the ghostly wilderness of the Lost Lands in search of a magical power, where the sorceress and her guide, the drifter Boyce (Dave Bautista), must outwit and outfight man and demon.
What Critics are saying:
This eyesore of a film is so ugly and confusing to look at it that its fable-like story — incoherent even by Anderson’s standards — never has even the slightest chance to overcome how difficult it is to see.
— David Ehrlich, indieWire
Unlike so many of Anderson’s efforts, In the Lost Lands isn’t adapted from a video game. But it sure as hell feels like one, and not one that would be fun to play.
– Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter
