A notable example of Spielberg-style "old-fashioned adventure" cinema, complete with pirates, treasure, and that signature peril-and-fun-in-equal-parts recipe you've come to love.

The headstrong nephew of King Arthur (Dev Patel) embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight (who, in case you lost track of your notes from your Medieval literature class, is the verdant-hued creature who rides into Camelot on New Year's Eve and challenges a member of the court to strike him once with an axe—on the condition that he can return the gruesome favor the following year—in the 14th-century chivalric romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight).

The latest hybrid-release blockbuster is an adventure flick that looks like it was adapted from a roller coaster at Disney World. With Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt helming the cast, the story follows a British doctor (Blunt) on a mission to uncover an ancient Amazonian tree with potentially life-changing healing abilities. In order to track it down, she enlists the help of a wise-cracking skipper (Johnson) to take her down the river in his ramshackle boat. An epic journey and lots of PG-grade flirting ensues.

An Oklahoma construction worker (Matt Damon) travels to Marseille to help free his daughter (Abigail Breslin) from prison, where she's serving time for the alleged murder of her former roommate and fellow exchange student. If the plot sounds suspiciously familiar, it's because it's inspired by the parallel story of Amanda Knox, who spent four years in jail for her presumed (and later disproved) involvement in the death of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, while studying abroad in Italy.

They Live
Past Event

List
Back when Trump was still the president, Charles Mudede wrote, "The reason why John Carpenter’s They Live is so important today (it was made in 1988 and concerns a working-class man who discovers sunglasses that when worn reveal the world is ruled by aliens that want humans to mindlessly consume and pollute their planet—yes, just like the rich people in the real world) is it presents us with the big question: Do people really want to know the truth? Does Donald Trump’s America even care about the truth? Would wearing special sunglasses that expose Trump to be a liar and exploiter even change their minds? By the look of things, the answer has to be no. It's still a great film, though."

If the classic mother-daughter shakeup Freaky Friday were a supernatural slasher comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton as a struggling teen and a ruthless killer who switch bodies, this would be that movie. In fact, it is.
