Clever, endearing, and appropriately magical, Klaus is worth watching, especially around Christmastime. There, he meets the reclusive Klaus (JK Simmons), whose wood-working abilities are second-to-none and will be put to good use when he works with Jesper to deliver toys throughout the town. It begins when Jesper (Jason Schwartzman), an entitled young postman who expects to sail through life on his family connections, is sent to a remote Northern town to manage their tiny post office. But there’s always room for one more Christmas origin story, and Klaus fits the bill perfectly. Between all the cutesy stop-motion animation of the 1960s that captured everything from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to Jack Frost to the Little Drummer Boy, it feels like the well has to be pretty near dry. Stars: Timothée Chalamet, Edgerton, Sean Harris, Tom Glynn-Carney, Lily-Rose Depp, Thomasin McKenzie, Robert Pattinson, and Ben Mendelsohnīy this point, we’ve seen plenty of animated films that tackle the mythos of Christmas.With strong performances from Chalamet and Joel Edgerton as the part-buffonish, part-wise Sir John Falstaff, The King is a respectable period drama that doesn’t fail to engage. But he can’t hide from his fate, and he will be given an opportunity to prove himself at the now-legendary Battle of Agincourt. Timothee Chalamet stars as Hal, the hard-partying son of King Henry IV who ascends to the throne reluctantly, uneager to take on the responsibilities of all of England. A story first dramatized by William Shakespeare in the late 1500s, we are given a glimpse of the king not as a proud and noble leader, but as a young man who still has some serious maturing to do. Set in England during the 15th century, The King is the most recent film to explore the life of King Henry V. Stars: Dakota Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis, Richard E.Although purists might not love how frequently Austen’s iconic dialogue is swapped out in favor of 21st-century speak, it does serve to show how much her work is still relevant over 200 years later. And still in love with her? Only time will tell. Director Carrie Cracknell takes the classic story and gives it a modern twist, with the thoroughly contemporary-looking Dakota Johnson in the lead role of Anne Elliot often giving Fleabag-style glances directly to the camera.Īnne is a woman who allowed herself to be manipulated into abandoning her fiance because of his lower social standing, only to have him reenter her life several years later, now wealthy and respectable. This time, we’re treated to Persuasion, one of the author’s more mature narratives about living with regret and the joy of getting a second chance at love.

Rama Rao Jr., Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, The film is a little over three hours long, but it hardly feels it: When would you even have time to look at the time, when there are fight sequences with actual tigers and endlessly charming dance battles to watch instead? Their conflict amidst their individual efforts to stay true to themselves provides the backbone of RRR, as duty tears them apart.
But their relationship becomes more complicated when it becomes clear that neither is being completely honest with each other.
and Ram Charan as a pair of best friends who will do anything for one another. One of the biggest global hits to come out of India in decades, RRR is an over-the-top extravaganza of violence, nationalism, and of course, epic dance numbers.
