Later this year, the titular Suicide Squad will be reborn with James Gunn s upcoming standalone sequel/soft reboot,
The Suicide Squad. While David Ayer s 2016 film wasn t wildly praised, it grossed a whole lot of money at the box office, primarily thanks to its splashy marketing and its all-star ensemble, which includes Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, Viola Davis, Cara Delevingne, and Jared Leto. It s certainly a lively cast of characters, though only a few will return for the DCEU s newest cinematic installment.
While this new movie will disregard a lot of elements from the original, including a few key characters, there s still a loyal fanbase for David Ayer s first film, and they re likely wondering what the

Though he may be best known for lush transgressive melodramas like
Carol and
Far From Heaven, Todd Haynes is certainly no stranger to music world. His outré depictions of glam rock (1998 s
Velvet Goldmine) and Bob Dylan (2007 s
I m Not There) put a dizzying, dazzling spin on the very idea of what a biopic could be; even his early avant-garde experiment

Far From Heaven,
If Beale Street Could Talk and the works of Douglas Sirk – have Amazon Prime Video got a festive treat for you. Almost seven years in the making,
Sylvie’s Love is an achingly romantic, sumptuously staged mid-20th century drama featuring a fabulous performance from
Thor: Ragnarok’s breakout star Tessa Thompson. She plays Sylvie Johnson, a young woman who finds herself torn between her obligations and affections towards two men, while trying to carve out an independent life for herself. When we first meet her (chronologically at least), Sylvie is working in her father’s record store. While he laments her preference for watching TV rather than exploring the summer sights of their Harlem neighbourhood, he knows that she’s hamstrung waiting for her fiancé Lacy (Alano Miller) to return home from the war in Korea.

Terrence Malick‘s
The New World is a cinematic wonder; a film that lives, and breathes, and fully transports you into the landscape. Every leaf on every tree, every ripple in every body of water, every bit of muck and grime, every boat that rocks upon unsteady seas – all of it combines to paint a picture that takes your breath away. Malick takes a ton of liberties with the true story of Pocahontas (played here by
Q’orianka Kilcher). History lesson this is not. But it is a romantic, tragic story of an untouched world being invaded by outsiders and the chain reaction that followers. Some may disagree, but I say this is Malick’s masterpiece. This isn’t just a movie – it’s something like a religious experience.
