Delighted Friday, Virgos! And to Virgos just. Do we believe Pearl is a Virgo? Probably not; she gives significant water-sign vibes. But that’s beside the point– onto this week’s selections. Theater have choices now! Aside from recently’s Barbarian, which is doing pretty well, theaters are going to have at least 3 brand-new rousing film debuts this week, which feels good after a relatively dry August. Fall is approaching to save us from our theatrical issues. On the television side, there’s the return of two fantastic funnies, and if you enjoy the drama of Love Is Blind, there’s even a brand-new small batch of episodes on Netflix (they’re not included below, however I thought I ‘d mention them up leading) exploring season 2’s now-defunct couples. Here are the rest of our choices for the weekend.

Formally authorized by Bowie’s estate, Moonage Musing recounts the singer’s life with previously unreleased video footage and show film (and is told by Bowie himself).

The character Pearl, nevertheless, is desperate to be a star. As a prequel to Ti West’s X, Pearl tells the story of its eponymous killer, a woman with huge, uncontainable dreams stuck on a small Texas farm in the middle of the Spanish flu pandemic (yes, the parallels to now are quite noticed). Like its predecessor, Pearl is bloody and enjoyable, and while the latter film could stand to be a bit gnarlier, its vibrant Technicolor, sweeping rating, and Goth’s pitch-perfect melodrama produce an excellent night out.

Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan star as Inspector Stoppard and Constable Stalker, respectively, who investigate a murder at the West End throughout a phase performance of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap. Parodying Christie, See How They Run strikes the murder-mystery beats you love while making you laugh aloud along the method.

And considering the short list of movies out in theaters this past month, director Gina Prince-Bythewood’s film, influenced by the real story of Agojie female warriors, sets a high bar for the fall season. Led by an excellent cast– Viola Davis is consistently incredible, while Lashana Lynch and Thuso Mbedu show themselves to be absolute stars in the making– it’s a rip-roaring time.

Plus it has Maya Hawke, Camila Mendes, and Austin Abrams (sweet Ethan of Ecstasy) as an overall fuckboy. I remain in.
Readily available to stream on Netflix.

After stand-alone episodes and the crew’s jaunt to Europe, Atlanta goes back to Georgia, following Earn, Alfred, Darius, and Van one last time.

Buckle in as you see the gang go back to resolve a spooky secret surrounding a previous a model.
