BABY DRIVER
Available October 10. Rated R.
Copyright Sony
Unique film about a brilliant, but partially hearing impaired getaway driver who seeks to get out of his life of crime. “Baby Driver” is a quirky, energetic romp filled with amazing chase scenes, over-the-top violence and a scintillating music score. The outstanding cast includes Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Jon Bernthal, Jamie Fox and Kevin Spacey.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES
Available now. Rated PG-13.
Copyright Disney
The fifth “Pirates” film contains all the expected elements of the franchise – thrilling escapes, laughs, otherworldly villains and an engaging performance from Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow (sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow). The story surrounds a ghost pirate (Javier Bardem) who has escaped the Devil’s Triangle and is out to get Sparrow. “Dead Men Tell No Tales” is rollicking good fun, even if it is all getting a bit predictable.
THE BEGUILED
Available October 10. Rated R.
Copyright NBC Universal
Sofia Coppola’s southern Gothic tale is dripping with eroticism and jealousy and tension. The story surrounds a wounded Union soldier who stumbles into a girls’ school in Virginia during the Civil War. The soldier’s presence slowly and uneasily releases a cascade of emotions, desires and actions that will have weighty consequences. Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning star in this stylish and atmospheric tale.
GIRLS TRIP
Available October 17. Rated R.
Copyright NBC Universal
Four lifelong friends travel to New Orleans to reconnect and unwind from the worries of the world. The result is a gut-busting romp filled with booze, parties, dancing and romance in the Big Easy. The story is often sophomoric and not terribly original, but the cast of Regina Hall, Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah will keep you laughing for the entire ride.
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING
Available October 17. Rated PG-13.
Copyright Sony
The latest take on Spider-Man is one of the best. “Homecoming” is a nice blend of wit and warmth and fast-moving fun, highlighted by a star-making performance by Tom Holland in the title role. In this most recent incarnation of Spider-Man, Holland plays a teenager with extraordinary powers who struggles to find his way in the ordinary world. The film benefits tremendously from a first-rate supporting cast, including Robert Downey Jr., Michael Keaton and Marisa Tomei.
