We have four theatrical premieres and a space-tastic IMAX offering in Memphis movie theaters this week.
Abigail
14-year-old Alisha Wier stars as the daughter of a gangster who is kidnapped by a group of criminals looking to ransom her for $50 million. But our anti-heroes are in for a rude shock, when they discover Abigail is a vampire. She’s not trapped in here with them, they’re trapped in here with her.
Sasquatch Sunset
Graceland owner Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg star as a pair of sasquatch mates trying to make it in work in this crazy world. Kumiko The Treasure Hunter’s David and Nathan Zellner direct this mostly wordless comedy about love and our relationship with nature.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Action-comedy maestro Guy Ritchie returns with this semi-comedy about the Special Operations Executive, a rogue British unit in World War II who pioneered the art of sabotage. Henry Cavill stars as a Gus March-Phillipps, who sets out to find a German submarine base, and steal some cargo ships while they’re at it.
Deep Sky
See the latest scientific discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope in stunning IMAX. This short (40 minutes) cosmic documentary will leave you speechless.
Spy x Family: Code White
The undercover anime family goes on a road trip that unexpectedly holds the fate of the world.
Monkey Man
Don’t sleep on Dev Patel’s supremely stylish beat-‘em-up. Patel directs and stars as The Kid, a down-on-his-luck dishwasher at a swanky New Dehli nightclub who is secretly an assassin out for revenge against the politicians and priests who destroyed his community. If you’d like to see the ruling class of India get its collective ass kicked, this is the film for you.
Ennio
On Thursday, April 25, Crosstown Arts presents Ennio, a documentary retrospective on the career of one of the greatest film scorers ever, Ennio Morricone.
