Life Picture Studio: Phoenix Fire Pictures; A24; Excellent Cadaver Director: Lila Neugebauer Genre: Drama Release Date: October 30th, Y10 Theater Count: 2975 Rating: R Format: 2D Budget: $20 million Runtime: 120 minutes Cast: - Jennifer Lawrence as Faith Hamm - Ke Huy Quan as Officer Kim This film is inspired by the real life murder of Beatriz Lebre, a young Portuguese college student who was murdered by a colleague. The film is dedicated to her, all women victims of violence, and all the close ones to these victims. Plot: One year prior to the events of this film, Beatrice Hamm, a young student at Virginia Tech, is brutally murdered by a friend, who then killed himself after being arrested by the police. The school declared a week of mourning for the girl, which is promptly attended and met with widespread grief and revolt from the community at large. Attending the memorial events and rallying crowds in protests, is Faith Hamm (Lawrence), Beatrice's older sister. Faith is abject and unyielding in her protesting, calling for more protection for women, especially in education environments like college campuses. One year passes. Faith lives by herself, as, shortly before, her mother passed of illness. Faith mourns her mother, who is buried next to Beatrice, and tells a psychologist that she suspects that Beatrice's death made their mother's health deteriorate fast. Nevertheless, Faith is forced to move on with her life. She solemnly spends her days alone at home, quietly sitting, staring at pictures of her family, while her phone rests by her side, with one particular shot showing it play Nick Cave's "Into My Arms", while being ignored by Faith. A day comes when Shaun Kim (Quan), a local police officer, visits her at home, as per request of a distant family member who lives outside of town and wanted to check in on Faith, who does not answer their calls. Faith rejects Kim's empathy, but with insistence, the two start talking. Faith, evidently traumatized, is hesitant to lean Kim in on much about her life, but Kim eventually gets her to accept taking the distant family member's calls and allowing him to visit more. Kim's visits become formulaic - comes in, asks Faith if she's okay, she says she is (though, every time, she becomes increasingly apart and accepting of the lack of effort it takes to make Kim good for the day) and that's that. Soon, however, Kim takes a hint that Faith is saying she's okay, but her voice tone indicates otherwise. Faith and Kim share a conversation, where Faith admits that she's not over the death of her sister and her mother, but it seems like the whole world is. "I don't understand... it's like... they all moved on from her... and I... I don't know how to do that." Kim, cautiously, says that our time is too short to spend it suffering. Faith retaliates, saying he does not know what's like to lose a mother and a sister, but Kim says that Eric Frank, the kid who committed suicide after murdering Beatrice, was his adoptive brother. Faith, conflicted, does not know whether to apologize or to kick Kim out, unforgiving for what Kim's brother did to her sister. Kim accepts this and exits. Some time later, Faith visits Kim at the local police station, where she asks him out for some coffee (slightly comical moment). The two, in their noon out, apologize to one another - Kim for hiding the truth from Faith, and Faith for treating Kim so coldly. Kim explains that, unbeknownst to him or anyone in his family, it seems as if Eric had developed an obsession with Beatrice and became dangerous when she rejected him. Faith denounces the vile disrespect to Beatrice's individual rights as a woman, while Kim agrees that Eric's actions ruined his and all of his family's lives, but not as much as the lives of Faith and Beatrice's mom. He does say, though: "That said... I still loved him." Faith, understanding, apologizes to Kim for not having good things to say to him, but Kim says that he hates being selfish and that Faith's suffering is much worse, to which she denies, saying we all have to respect and accommodate each other. Faith, slowly, warms up to Kim's genuine kindness and accepts him into her life. They begin feeling subtle affection for one another, and no time later, a relationship develops. But Faith continues to feel conflict over whether or not she should be dating the brother of the kid who murdered Beatrice. She gets shaming comments from acquaintances and close circle people on social media, who call her easy and a slut for doing this to the memory of Beatrice. One day, she snaps out of her melancholy and makes a call to one of these people, telling them that they have no power over her decisions and no gravity over her life, other than the one she gives, shutting relations down permanently, but confident in herself. Faith and Kim's relationship evolves overtime, but after a few months, Kim begins feeling like Faith is still apart from him, and grows distant from her too. Faith admits that she has grown to love Kim, and that he is the only person she has now, but Kim, after admitting that he does not feel for her that way anymore, breaks up with her, apologizing profoundly, but saying he can't live like that anymore. Faith, shedding some tears, returns to Beatrice and their mother's grave to silently meditate. She mourns them yet again, admitting she has felt lonely for so long, but, in a moment of hope, she says that Kim, ironically, has made her open up to the beauty of the world. And she apologizes to anytime she's ever been cold to them, though saying that "I feel you now as much as I did when you were alive." Courageously, she visits her psychologist again. When asked how much she will let Kim's departure affect her, she says that Kim will always have a place in her mind, but she is happy enough with the memories she has. "It's time to move on." In the last scene of the film, Faith smiles when looking at those same family pictures we saw her with earlier on. The final shot is her putting on headphones and listening to "Into My Arms" with a smile on her face.

OLD MEN WALKING Studio: Phoenix Fire Pictures; Happy Madison Productions Director: Chris Columbus Genre: Action/Comedy/Western Release Date: June 5th, Y10 Theater Count: 3280 Rating: PG-13 Format: 2D Budget: $40 million Runtime: 105 minutes Cast: - Adam Sandler as Tiff - Arnold Schwarzenegger as Jan - Katherine Langford as Tiff/Jan Plot: Tiff and Jan (Langford) are two twin sisters who live in the quiet Western city of Riverside, and their personalities couldn't be more opposed - Tiff is more outgoing and fun, while Jan is calmer and more subdued. The issue is that both are arguing all the time over petty things, being distant and apart from one another even when they need it the most. One day, they find a secret temple ruin by a mountain side, and this turns them into two grumpy male cowboys - Tiff (Sandler) and Jan (Schwarzenegger), who reflect their personalities. As they deal with a conspiracy of thieves that want to steal the temple's reality shifting powers (them possible through a MacGuffin known as "The Swapper"), both sisters realize that the Swapper has made them the images of what they really are: Tiff is wacky and fun, but her eccentricity masks her insecurities, while Jan is larger, buffer, and drier, but therein, lies a heart of gold. The two sisters become closer again, while using their male cowboy powers to stop the conspiracy. Everything is thrown for a halt when the Swapper breaks and both Tiff, Jan and their male counterparts become separate from each other, but in the end, the sisters and the cowboy personality avatars work together and beat the thieves. The end.

Doraemon

Doraemon Studio: Phoenix Fire Pictures; Phoenix Fire Artstyles Director: Karyn Kusama Based On: Doraemon, by Fujiko F. Fujio Genre: Family/Comedy/Drama Release Date: May 15th, Y10 Theater Count: 3478 Rating: PG Format: 2D, 3D Budget: $80 million Runtime: 96 minutes Cast: - Gordon Maeda as Nobita Nobi - Eugene Lee Yang as the voice of Doraemon - Ryan Potter as Takeshi aka "Giant" (wearing prosthetics to look heavier) - Kaylee Kaneshiro as Shisuka - Jordan Nagai as Suneo - with Carrie Ann Inaba as Mom - and George Takei as Dad Plot: Nobita Nobi (Maeda) is a young Japanese-American teenager who lives in a local community in San Francisco. He lives with his strict, pushing and hard-working Mom (Inaba), and Dad (Takei), who, when not working, spends his days watching TV and drinking. At school, he has a crush on Shisuka (Kaneshiro), whom he is close friends with, while being bullied by Giant (Potter), a heavy-built loudmouth who is the self-professed king of the neighborhood. Suneo (Nagai), a rich, bratty teen, enjoys to join in on Giant's bullying of Nobita, but evidently hides insecurities of his own, that are brought up every once whenever Giant berates him on public. Nobita, otherwise, is close with Shisuka, who focuses hard on her studies and always tries to be the best student in class, and has no obvious interest in Nobita romantically, although she seems to dig him as a friend. He, on the other hand, while subtle enough with his romantic attraction to her, has no means of keeping up in terms of studies (being lazy, impulsive and easily distractable), is poor socially, awkward and clumsy. While Mom constantly tries to push his best side, it's to no avail, which disappoints her. Nobita himself, aware of his shortcomings, is tired of his life, and wishes, under a star, for things to change. That night, after Nobita goes to sleep... his drawer opens, and, from inside, an interdimensional portal brings inside a massive-sized humanoid cat, Doraemon (Yang). The next day, Nobita shrieks at the presence of the big cat in his bedroom - even more so when it's revealed that Doraemon can talk. Doraemon soon says that he became lost from the future, since a mouse followed him and he had to escape, so he jumped in this timeline. Nobita, shaking off the fear from the surreal sight of Doraemon, and realizing Doraemon is from the future, asks him if he can help change his life. Doraemon shows no evident interest, but upon meeting Mom - who is, obviously, terrified at first - he decides he wants to help Nobita, if, in return, he gets a healthy diet of dorayakis (Japanese chocolate muffins). No soon, Doraemon reveals that he carries a pocket on his waist, but it's no ordinary pocket: it is an infinitely spaced vacuum on the inside, which can carry thousands of different futuristic gadgets. He reveals the Capcopter, a little cap-sized helice that you place on your head and fly with, and the Magic Door, a door that teleports you to any desired location (which Nobita promptly uses to go to the beach, the mountains, or to Shisuka's room, where she is studying - he quickly turns around and goes back, upon realizing what he did, while Shisuka does not notice he is there, but is nonetheless confused about whatever happened there). Soon, Nobita goes outside and starts showing off his capacity to fly and teleport, which impresses all the kids in his neighborhood, including Giant and Suneo, the latter who is wowed by the machinery, and the former who just feels jealous. Soon, Giant wants to try Nobita's newfound gadgets, and forces him to do so, stealing the Capcopter, and singing "I am Giant, the king of the neighborhood" with his completely off-tune voice. Nobita cries for help to Doraemon, who is furious about Nobita's clumsiness, and ends up revealing himself to everyone else, while scaring Giant and getting his gadgets back. Giant, humilliated about his public showing of fear, beats up Suneo (cartoonishly-ish, since it's live-action) and parks outside Nobita's house to do the same to him. Suneo, shattered, runs back home, and Shisuka finds him crying. She is humble and comforts him, while he admits that, if it weren't for his family, no one in town, even Giant - who's always been closer to him - would like him. Shisuka understands, nodding to Suneo being spoilt and bratty, but with a heart of gold. Suneo implies that he always felt he has something to prove because of his Japanese ethnicity too, which Shisuka, melancholic, reflects on. She says that their origins are never anything to be ashamed of, but we see in a flashback that Suneo has largely been somewhat distant from his white child peers even before meeting them, while Shisuka, in a flashback of her own, harkens back likewise. Nobita and Mom have an argument at home about Nobita's wrongdoings with Doraemon's gadgets, with Mom harassing Nobita for still showing no work ethics, while Doraemon panics about big, buffy Giant waiting to beat Nobita outside. Nobita, comically bent between arguing with both Mom and Doraemon, asks the latter for a gadget that can overpower Giant, but Doraemon says he is forbidden from using gadgets that inflict violence. Mom asks Doraemon then to make Nobita smarter, but Doraemon says he cannot alter anyone's brain either, which then makes both shout: "Then what are you useful, for?!", which Doraemon says: "It's not my fault, it's all YOURS!", breaking both of their hearts, while Doraemon immediately regrets. Nobita locks himself in his bedroom, Mom, saddened, returns to chores and Doraemon tries to make up for it, but the house retreats in silence. Meanwhile, Dad, drunk (subtly, as to not provoke the PG rating), comes back home, and Mom does not have the heart to talk to him. Doraemon then has a flashback: it's revealed that, in the future, he's actually supposed to be Nobita's guidance robot who will help him steer towards a future, where he is a responsible, kind-hearted person who can actually be a good friend to Shisuka, a good son to Mom and Dad, and even a reference to Giant and Suneo. Doraemon rejects this notion, claiming he is good enough to be a guide to much better kids, but after that a mouse is strategically placed on his house by Doremi (voice of Hayley Kiyoko, cameo), Doraemon's yellow and pink-colored cat sister, Doraemon is forced to come to Nobita's timeline. There, he reflects on how he can do better for this kid and this family. Doraemon goes back to Nobita's bedroom, and talks to him about Nobita's issues in life. Nobita claims he just... wishes he could be someone different. Doraemon says he suspects Nobita's brain is different, Nobita saying Mom and Dad have always suspected he might have ADHD. However, Nobita is referring to another kind of "different" - the kind where, even if he were like everyone else brain-wise, he still feels different, and he thinks his origins mean he always has something to prove. We then get images of Giant, tired of waiting for Nobita, going back home, where his Mom, a buff-built merchant lady, who treats him by his name, Takeshi, berates him for being always late, unhelpful and an idiot. She is hurt by having to be mean to her son, but says it's for his good, as he "does not understand what it's like to be a stranger". Giant, hurt and melancholic, understands that his Mom means that her origins, and his as well, have made them the way they are, remembering when some children made fun of him before he bulked up. Shisuka also reflects on what Suneo said, claiming that her Japanese origins have always influenced her family to hope she becomes bigger than she always is, pretty much enticing her to focus way too hard on her studying. Suneo simply looks back at all the bullying he went through in his own life. Doraemon, emotional, says that Nobita should never be ashamed of who he is - whether he's inattentive, clumsy, or, much worse than anything, in belief that his ethnicity is anything but amazing. Nobita is quiet, while Doraemon says: "being who I am... wearing my colors... there's nothing better than that. And I think you should think that way too." Nobita, tearful, understands Doraemon. Meanwhile, Shisuka finds Suneo in his house, and convinces him to try to talk Giant out of beating Nobita. Suneo agrees, but they cannot stop Giant from making a social media post calling out Nobita in public. Nobita, horrified, calls Giant directly, who then tells him that, if he wants to stop being a chicken, "he'll meet him on a cliff by the Golden Gate". Nobita and Doraemon, terrified, decide to comply... not for their own sake, but for Giant's as well. Giant and Nobita confront one last time, and Giant says that, if he's not taking it out on Nobita, who is he going to take it out on? "Everyone is just so nice, until they release that they only don't make fun of a kid because he's bigger than they are." Nobita and Doraemon try to reason with Giant, but Giant says that if Nobita doesn't fight him right there and then, without Doraemon's help, he will jump off. Nobita, hesitantly, steps forward, and predictably, Giant pounces him around. Nobita allows himself to, and when Giant just asks him why he doesn't ask Doraemon for help now, he says that, clearly... it's Giant who needs help the most. Giant, crying, runs and jumps off the cliff... but not before he stalls mid-air, having a Capcopter on his head that's rotating and bringing him back up. Every other character is then teleported, via Magic Door, to the locale, and everyone comforts Nobita (who is injured and needs medical attention) and Giant. Doraemon talks to Shisuka, Suneo, Mom and Dad at that point, and says that if his destiny is to help these kids, then the best thing they can do... is forgive themselves and adore each other for things they cannot control. Everyone converges. At the hospital, Nobita, Mom and a finally sober and worried Dad have a talk, where Nobita pleads apologies to his parents for not being as good as they want him to be, and Dad convinces Mom to apologize for always wanting too much from him, while Dad apologizes for not always being present. Giant and his Mom have an emotional talk as well, where Mom says she didn't mean to make Giant depressed, apologizing him eternally for it and promising she will be understanding of Giant, while Giant just says her love is everything he needs. Shisuka and Suneo agree to have talks with their own families, in the wake of the near-tragedy. The next day, Doraemon is called by Doremi, from the future, who asks him that, understanding he nearly made a mess and almost wrecked Nobita's future, he may need a timeout from his mission. Doraemon rejects, saying that, right now, all he wants is to be with Nobita. Doraemon and Nobita, radiantly, decide to tackle life differently, as Doraemon agrees to stay with Nobita for as long as possible, while Nobita tries to change his life for the better, concluding the film on a hopeful note. Mom and Dad offer Doraemon as many dorayakis as he wants, but he says: "if Nobita and all of you are doing okay... that's all I need."

THE SECRETS THAT LOVE BRINGS Studio: Phoenix Fire Pictures Director: Castille Landon Based On: Amar Después de Amar, by Erika Halvorsen, Micaela Libson and Esteban Garrido Genre: Melodrama/Romance Release Date: June 26th, Y10 Theater Count: 3078 Rating: PG-13 Format: 2D Budget: $15 million Runtime: 97 minutes Cast: - Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Kathy Johnson - Glen Powell as Matthew Wyles Plot: A carwreck is found with Amanda Wyles and Shaqueill Johnson, wife and husband to Kathy Johnson (Randolph) and Matthew Wyles (Powell). They are found dead, and this breaks the hearts of both Kathy and Matthew. Soon, however, it's uncovered that Amanda and Shaqueill led a secret life as lovers and have been hiding their affair from their spouses for years now. This saddens Matthew, who was devout to his wife, while Kathy becomes emotionally stoic. The two have thorough conversations about overcoming grief and learning to relaunch life after the passing of someone they so loved. As the film progresses, Kathy breaks through her coldness and admits that, while her heart is broken and she is haunted by her husband cheating on her with her best friend, she at least understands that things like that can happen to human beings. Shaqueill thinks that's terrible and asks Kathy not to excuse Amanda and Shaqueill for their actions. Matthew and Kathy become closer and closer, and Matthew admits starting to create feelings for Kathy. Kathy thinks she's not yet ready to move on from Shaqueill, and when confronted by this, she finally breaks, admitting that she cannot believe her husband cheated on her. At last, they fall in love with each other, and come to terms with the possibility that loving again after loving for the first time is possible.

Eh, I think they can handle that in PG, no problem. Hardly would be the first PG film to feature mature themes. Sonic Adventure 2 was pretty kid-friendly and that compassed all of Shadow's backstory.

Why would Shadow need anything more than a PG rating, though? Don't tell me y'all think they should adapt the Shadow the Hedgehog game and have him swear and do guns
