WRATH OF MAN: 3.5 STARS “Wrath of Man,” a remake of Nicolas Boukhrief’s 2004 French film “Le Convoyeur,” is a revenge heist flick that sees director Guy Ritchie reunited with his trademarked tricky storytelling style, Jason Statham, and the ruthless violence that made his early movies such eye poppers. Statham plays “’H’, like in bomb,” a man of few words with a mysterious past – big surprise there. They should call him Gazpacho because he is the coolest of cool cucumbers. No matter what, this guy’s pulse rate never rises above 50 beats per minute. When we first meet...

What’s new to VOD and streaming this weekend: May 7-9 Including Almodovar's English-language debut, Eat Wheaties! and season 3 of The Girlfriend Experience By Norman Wilner and Kevin Ritchie May 7, 2021 The Human Voice (Pedro Almodóvar) Spanish director Almodóvar’s English-language debut is a short film that strips the hallmarks of his oeuvre down to a few core elements: a high-strung woman engages in high drama while clad in high fashion. Based on Jean Cocteau’s monodrama of the same name, The Human Voice is essentially a 30-minute showpiece for Tilda Swinton, who stars as a...

The unappealingly named comedy “Eat Wheaties!” is a tedious exercise in patience that, like a bowl of soggy cereal, I would not recommend to anyone.

CST_ Screen Media presents a film written and directed by Scott Abramovitch, based on the book “The Locklear Letters” by Michael Kun. No MPAA rating. Running time: 88 minutes. Available Friday on demand. Not that Hale’s Sid Straw is exactly lacking in confidence; it’s just that his confidence is usually misplaced. He’s the kind of guy whose mere presence in the break room at work will have you doing a quick U-turn and hoping he didn’t spot you, the kind of guy who thinks it’s funny to bring a 1980s Major League Baseball star to a wedding as his Plus One just because, th...
