Elle di Elle (Fatma Mohamed) and her collaborators Billy Rubin (Asa Butterfield) and Lamina Propria (Ariane Labed), all of whom rise, walk and smoke in sync — at first, anyway, before the friction and infighting begins — the prospect of freedom to create their specialized brand of performance is a dream come true. Together they pantomime the process of grocery shopping, attach microphones, effects-generating equipment and amps to their prep stations, then chop and cook vegetables like stylish monks in materialist prayer.But Elle di Elle is a control queen to rival The Fall’s Mark E.
‘Lightyear’ Film Review: The Pleasures of Pixar’s Spin-Off Are Far Too Finite
13.06.2022 - 22:49 / thewrap.com
Pizza Planet? What about a jokey reference to the “Woody’s Roundup” TV show for viewers the age of Andy’s mom? And let’s face it: as admirable as it is that Pixar has created an LGBTQ character that can’t easily be dubbed over in foreign markets (the ones that demand that sort of thing will certainly find a way), there was no such thing as a mainstream studio kids’ movie of 1995 — not even an adult-aimed studio movie — progressive enough to pair a white male protagonist with a Black lesbian confidante.The most 1995 aspect of “Lightyear” comes from Evans’ performance, but only if you imagine he’s intentionally impersonating George Clooney for the entire movie; that’s how it sounds, anyway. The laughs generally come from Sohn, Aduba and Taika Waititi as an inexperienced member of the Space Ranger reserves who gets pressed into service.
(And even that latter character gets saddled with a set-up/payoff gag that’s so blatantly telegraphed that it should have been rewritten.)To its credit, “Lightyear” has visual pizzazz, from the hyperspace sequences to the heretofore hidden surprises that emerge from those colorful buttons and dials on the Space Ranger uniforms. Ultimately, however, this film gives the world a new reason not to see a movie: “No thanks, I read the book” is now “No thanks, I played with the toy.”“Lightyear” opens in US theaters June 17.

‘Unfinished Business’ Film Review: Inspiring Look at the WNBA’s Origins Leaves Us Hungry for More
and the Liberty. For one thing, the movie is executive produced by Clara Wu Tsai, a co-owner of the Liberty, and it certainly would have been enlightening to explore further the corporate structure and inner workings of both the league and the team.For another, Weatherspoon, Lobo, Robinson, and Wicks have all been active as coaches or commentators, but we learn little about their lives after their early years on the team.
