Podcast appearances and mentions of Mahershala Ali

Episode 58 - Special Episode: Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)Jurassic Park is one of those franchises that I absolutely love, where Spielberg helped define the summer blockbuster movie season. The first two especially are amazing. Jurassic Park III was a flop. Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom were chapters that brought new life and characters into the franchise. Dominion was overstuffed but had fun visuals and brought back all the characters we love from this series. Three years later we are now caught up with this one... and I am so confused by it.You have Gareth Edwards directing. You can see his work in Rogue One, The Creator, Godzilla (2014), and Monsters (2010). The man is amazing with visual effects and knows how to work quickly and economically. Disney loves him, and I understand why. You also have David Koepp, the OG writer of Jurassic Park. You also have a rock star cast with Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Rupert Friend. This should have been amazing.From an audience and review point of view, there was consensus in the reactions, and yet… this is one of the most globally successful movies of the year! I am so confused and have so many questions. The mysterious box office of Jurassic World Rebirth. This one is still bugging me and I need answers.Jurassic World Rebirth is playing in theaters now. It is also available to rent and buy on all platforms. There is no streaming date for Peacock yet, but my guess based on its theatrical release date is that late October to early November is a safe bet.We've got more episodes, reviews, and recommendations coming your way. If you're enjoying the show, please leave a review, it really helps the podcast.Thanks for listening. I'm really curious about your thoughts on this one if you check it out.

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #222, de podcast waarin we weer helemaal losgaan op het laatste nieuws uit films, series en games. Deze week praten we uitgebreid over de nieuwe Disney+ show Alien: Earth, checken we de trailers van Splinter Cell: Deathwatch en Fallout seizoen 2, en duiken we in Variety's verhaal over Disney dat wanhopig op zoek is naar originele IP's om Gen Z terug te winnen.Alien: Earth ReviewDisney+ probeert iets groots met Alien: Earth: de legendarische xenomorphs landen voor het eerst écht op onze planeet. Het resultaat is een mix van sci-fi, horror en pure spanning die duidelijk wil voortbouwen op Ridley Scotts erfenis. Maar werkt dat ook in serieformaat? In de podcast duiken we erin. Koos heeft de show gezien en neemt je mee door de eerste afleveringen. Hoe pakt Disney+ de sfeer van de klassieke films aan? Is de cast overtuigend genoeg? En vooral: voelt het nog steeds als die beklemmende Alien-ervaring waar de franchise om bekendstaat? Is dit de frisse start die fans hopen, of gewoon weer een extra titel in een reeks die zijn magie langzaam kwijtraakt?Marvel en Star Wars verliezen kracht, Disney op zoek naar nieuwe 'jongens' IP Disney mag dan jarenlang leunen op Marvel en Lucasfilm, maar zelfs deze kaskrakers weten Gen Z niet meer vanzelf naar de bioscoop te trekken. Variety meldt dat het bedrijf actief op zoek is naar nieuwe originele films die specifiek jonge mannen van 13 tot 28 jaar moeten aanspreken. Volgens insiders vraagt de top van Walt Disney Studios schrijvers en producers om frisse pitches met meer avontuurlijke thema's, wereldwijde schattenjachten en seizoensgebonden blockbusters, bijvoorbeeld rond Halloween. Dit alles omdat het publiek steeds minder warm loopt voor superheldenfilms en Star Wars maar geen grote bioscoophit meer weet te leveren.Is de focus op nieuwe IP's een slimme zet, of had men beter kunnen blijven investeren in bestaande franchises? Eén ding is zeker: Disney wil koste wat kost relevant blijven bij Gen Z.Nicolas Cage in gesprek voor True DetectiveNicolas Cage lijkt klaar voor een opvallende stap: volgens Deadline is hij in gesprek om de hoofdrol te spelen in seizoen 5 van HBO's True Detective. Daarmee zou de Oscarwinnaar in de huid kruipen van Henry Logan, een rechercheur in New York die centraal staat in de nieuwe zaak. Showrunner Issa Lopez, die eerder Night Country maakte, keert terug en belooft opnieuw een duistere, krachtige vertelling – ditmaal met Jamaica Bay als decor. Hoewel de deal nog niet rond is, doen de geruchten denken aan Jodie Foster's langdurige onderhandelingen voor seizoen 4, waarvoor ze uiteindelijk een Emmy won.Met eerdere hoofdrollen voor Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson en Mahershala Ali krijgt Cage dus illustere voorgangers. De serie staat gepland om in 2026 te worden opgenomen, met een release in 2027. In de podcast praten we over wat deze mogelijke casting kan betekenen voor de richting en impact van True Detective seizoen 5.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #22200:02:54 Wat gaan we vandaag doen?00:03:47 Alien: Earth00:12:00 Devil May Cry00:15:56 Venom00:20:33 Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Trailer00:23:56 Disney op zoek naar nieuwe IP om jongens terug te winnen00:34:12 George Lucas gaf Ron Howard een gouden tip bij Solo: A Star Wars Story00:39:17 Oscar Isaac staat open voor terugkeer bij Star Wars00:44:54 De Toxic Avenger is nu de woordvoerder voor Liquid Death00:47:26 Anemone Trailer00:50:11 Alien: Earth en Blade Runner hebben geen gedeeld universum00:53:32 Een blik achter de schermen bij HBO's Harry Potter serie00:55:28 Robert Downey Jr. stuurde aan op een maand reshoots voor Doomsday00:57:26 Moleman geeft Fantastic Four: First Steps 3.5 ster00:58:17 Je kunt bieden op Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man pak00:59:29 James Gunn herschrijft het einde van Peacemaker seizoen één01:01:00 Nicolas Cage in onderhandeling voor True Detective seizoen vijf01:01:44 Fallout Season 2 Trailer

Jake flies solo today to discuss the latest and greatest in the Jurassic Park franchise -- Jurassic World Rebirth is a 2025 American science fiction action film directed by Gareth Edwards and written by David Koepp. It takes place three years after Jurassic World Dominion (2022), and is the fourth Jurassic World film as well as the seventh installment overall in the Jurassic Park franchise. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Ed Skrein.

Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch reviews Jurassic World Rebirth starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and everyone's favorite shipwrecked family.The film takes place five years after Jurassic World: Dominion. An expedition is launched to isolated equatorial regions with the goal of extracting DNA from three massive prehistoric creatures—this time for a groundbreaking medical breakthrough.The visuals and dinosaur action are praised as impressive and thrilling. The “T-Rex River Wrath” sequence is called “one of the best scenes of the year.”References to the in-movie suggestion that people might be “over dinosaurs.” The host challenges this, arguing that the enduring box office and cultural impact prove otherwise—“People love dinosaurs.”There's criticism for relying on “familiar and somewhat underdeveloped” plot points and characters. The Delgado family and some other new additions don't quite land as fresh as hoped.Scarlett Johansson (“Scarjo”) debuts as Zora Bennett, a covert ops expert. She's enthusiastic about joining the franchise but gives a more restrained performance, possibly to differentiate from her Marvel persona.Mahershala Ali (Duncan Kincaid) is praised as a standout, with the host suggesting he nearly “stole the show.”Jonathan Bailey (Dr. Henry Loomis) is also positively received.Gareth Edwards is recognized for his approach and commended for atmosphere and “making you feel uneasy,” but Rebirth is described as his “lowest-rated directorial effort,” though still “mid-tier” in the Jurassic franchise hierarchy.Writer David Koepp returns (he wrote the original Jurassic Park and other classics.The podcast pushes back on industry/media claims about dinosaur (or superhero) movie over-saturation: “We're nowhere near the same level of saturation [as superheroes], and dinosaurs are still exciting by nature.Franchise longevity is compared to *Fast & Furious*. The host argues Jurassic could continue with annual dinosaur movies and still not reach genre exhaustion.Movie Reviews from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessMovieReviews TV Show Reactions from Giant Mess Podcast - https://bit.ly/GiantMessTV Funny Stories from Giant Mess Podcast -  https://bit.ly/GiantMessFunnyStoriesNew York Giants Fan Rants & Analysis from Giant Mess Podcast - ⁠https://bit.ly/NYGiantsYTPlaylist⁠ NY Mets Fan Rants & Analysis from Giant Mess - ⁠https://bit.ly/MetsYTPlaylist⁠ ABOUT NEAL LYNCH:Irish-Italian-American who graduated from a Catholic high school (even though I'm not Catholic), and a college known for producing doctors and lacrosse players, then became neither. Former 4th string quarterback and middle relief pitcher at a D3 school. Degrees in Film & Media Studies and Communications. Worked for Condé Nast, New York Post, SportsNet New York, and Hearst Television.Divorced dad who blogs, podcasts, writes, edits, optimizes, strategizes, and over-analyzes.  ABOUT "GIANT MESS":"Giant Mess" is a weird sports and entertainment comedy podcast hosted by a giant mess, the Real Cinch Neal Lynch. Neal covers New York Giants football, Mets baseball, movies, and TV shows, mixing in funny life stories along the way. Episodes focus on movie reviews, tv show recaps, post-game analysis, predictions, reactions, and funny stories about parenting.Subscribe to Giant Mess on YouTube: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/GiantMessYT⁠⁠ Follow me on:* Link Tree - ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/neallynch⁠⁠  * My Official Blog - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/neallynchBLOG⁠⁠ * Giant Mess Facebook Page - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/GiantMessFB⁠⁠    * Twitter - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/NealLynchTW⁠⁠     * Personal Instagram - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/NealLynchIG⁠⁠    * Giant Mess Instagram - ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/GiantMessInstagram⁠⁠  * Subscribe to Giant Mess on Apple Podcasts - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/GiantMessApple⁠⁠  * Subscribe to Giant Mess on Spotify - ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/GiantMessSpotify⁠⁠ 

Esta semana, nos tomamos un rato para repasar la Fase 5 del MCU, que durante los últimos dos años y medio nos dio algunos de los productos con calidad más despareja hasta el momento: algunos muy bien recibidos, como Deadpool and Wolverine, Loki, Thunderbolts* o Guardianes de la Galaxia, Vol. 3, y otros que estuvieron lejos de cumplir o superar diferentes expectativas, como Secret Invasion, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania o The Marvels. ¿Qué cosas funcionaron y cuáles podrían haber sido diferentes? ¿Siguen teniendo sentido las Fases de Marvel Studios? ¿Hacia dónde se encamina la Saga del Multiverso?  ¿Alguien quiere pensar en Mahershala Ali? 

Jurassic World Rebirth (2025, Dir. Gareth Edwards, Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey) Superman (2025, Dir. James Gunn, Starring: David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult) Eddington (2025, Dir. Ari Aster, Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro... The post Extra Features 348 appeared first on Extra Features.

Josh is joined by recurring guest Daniel Lima to to talk all about "Jurassic World Rebirth." They discuss the different paths not taken by the franchise and if Rebirth was a step back in the right direction, the different types of mutant dinosaurs it introduces and if they were effectively rendered, the performances from the cast that included Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Rupert Friend and much more! Edited and produced by Daniel Lima.

The seventh instalment in the Jurassic Park (now Jurassic World) series, Jurassic World Rebirth might be the first of the sequels to really come close to capturing the kind of wonder, excitement and horror that the 1993 original offered. That might be in part because it cribs liberally from it, with both moments and entire sequences closely evocative of their 32-year-old counterparts. But there's plenty else that's new here, and Rebirth is a characterful expansion to the Jurassic Park story. Thoughts of containment have finally been totally discarded - dinosaurs have now been roaming the Earth for some time, to the point that they're dying out everywhere other than a narrow band around the equator, which is illegal for human travel. So that's where we're headed, of course, as a pharmecutical exec seeking to make a fortune from dino-sourced drugs hires a team of mercenaries to extract blood from three creatures: one that swims, one that walks, and one that flies. It's a decent structure that tells you what to expect and allows for a variety of settings and action, into which are placed such charismatic stars as Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey and Rupert Friend. Director Gareth Edwards builds the world beautifully, exploiting it for that sense of scale that so defines his aesthetic, and reminding Mike in particular of his feature debut Monsters; and although in simple terms - this is, ultimately, a blockbuster sequel - the film has a moral message worth expressing. Jurassic World Rebirth is easily the best of the Jurassic sequels and equally easy to recommend. Just try not to focus too much on how it reminds you of a better film from 1993. Recorded on 13th July 2025.

After a Spring hiatus, Byrd and Matt come back to discuss Jurassic World Rebirth, the newest entry in the Jurassic Park franchise directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla 2014, Monsters, Star Wars: Rogue One).  This entry follows a group of mercenaries (led by Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali) tasked with gathering dino DNA for medical research by going to an island used for genetic experimentation.  Along the way they meet up with a family they save during a Mosasaur attack.  We discuss an endless amount of dinosaur chase sequences, the rushed production of the film, Snickers wrappers, Lays potato chips, and the death of the "director as auteur" in blockbuster film making.  So how does this one compare to the last few entries?  Listen and find out!

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios may be sitting out of this weekend's storied San Diego Comic Hall H, but that hasn't stopped the big news and updates from pouring in. First, last week in a huge move, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige invited a small group of journalists to Marvel Studios' offices where he laid out the future for the next 5 to 7 years for the MCU. The biggest takeaway, arguably, was Feige's cagey hints regarding a likely reset to the universe during the events of Secret Wars, saying, “Reboot is a scary word; Reboot can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Reset, singular timeline — we're thinking along those lines.” Other tidbits from Feige's comments include a commitment to recasting the X-Men with new actors for their post Secret Wars film, an update on the Mahershala Ali-led Blade film and Sony's mandate that they stay away from a live action Miles Morales until the conclusion of the animated Spider-Verse trilogy. In Marvel news that looks to the more immediate future, director Matt Shakman shared that John Malkovich's role and performance as the Red Ghost has been removed from The Fantastic Four: The First Steps, which opens this week!Superman continues to live up to its name when it comes to its performance, as the superhero flick passed $409 million at the global box office in its second weekend of release. The $58 million second weekend, which is a respectable -54% drop from the opening weekend, is in keeping with 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine and bodes favorably compared to other recent releases from the comic book genre; plus coupled with other wins like A Minecraft Movie and Sinners, the latest success has helped Warner Bros become 2025's top earning studio with $1.32 billion in ticket sales. In other news, Variety confirmed Supergirl writer Ana Nogueira has been tapped to pen the Wonder Woman reboot for the DCU in addition to being attached to a live action Teen Titans project for the studio.Lots and lots of trailers hit the interwebs last week, lets run them down and talk about ‘em:Alien: EarthPredator: BadlandsTron: AresStranger Things S5Mortal Kombat IIChristopher Nolan made history by putting tickets on sale for The Odyssey exactly one year before the film's release, marking the first time any movie tickets have sold a full year in advance. The early sales were exclusively for IMAX 70mm screenings at select theaters, supporting Nolan's epic adaptation of the Greek myth that is being shot entirely on IMAX film cameras with a $250 million budget.Hulu announced that Futurama Season 13 will switch from its recent weekly release format to an all-at-once binge drop, with all 10 episodes premiering simultaneously on September 15 at 5 p.m. PT. The change marks a departure from the weekly rollout used for Seasons 11 and 12.Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to star in Robert Eggers' upcoming werewolf horror film Werwulf, with Lily-Rose Depp in talks to join the project in what would reunite the Nosferatu co-stars. Nintendo and Sony's live-action Legend of Zelda movie has cast Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link, with Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto revealing the casting choices alongside first-look photos on social media. Taika Waititi is attached to direct a new feature film take on British comic book character Judge Dredd. Drew Pearce, the scribe known for Fall Guy and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, is attached to write the script.Disney's live action Lilo and Stitch has become the first film of 2025 to pass the $1 billion dollar mark at the international box office.Nearly five years after Netflix entered into a content agreement with Ubisoft, the streamer has ordered an Assassin's Creed live-action series, based on the best-selling video game franchise. The project will be created, showrun, and executive produced by Roberto Patino and David Wiener.

This week on Comix, we're connecting the nostalgic dots and diving into the unexpected! OG Blue's Clues host Steve Burns is launching a podcast… for adults?! We discuss how the beloved childhood figure is pivoting into emotional wellness and why it oddly makes sense.Then we shift into superhero overdrive: Pedro Pascal responds to the Fantastic Four fan backlash, Jonathan Majors might still be Kang, and Michael B. Jordan is rumored to return in Black Panther 3—what's real, what's rumor, and what's reckless?Also on the docket: • The Punisher enters the mix in Spider-Man: Brand New Day • Russell Crowe swinging a sword in the Highlander reboot • A surprise Green Arrow/Daredevil crossover comic has fans hyped • And yes, Mahershala Ali's Blade is officially back in development (again…)All that plus a few spicy hot takes and a wild theory or two—only on Comix!

For Episode 163, we review the latest film in the Jurassic Park franchise — a so-called rebirth featuring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. Jason's love for dinosaurs is stronger than ever, and we're joined by our brother Chris to break down the film's highs, lows, and everything in between.We hold the franchise accountable for its ongoing lack of story development and question whether audiences even care, as long as there are dinosaurs on screen. Jazz adds a fun twist by giving the guys their own island assignments — with hilarious results.We also dig into the cast chemistry, whether Scarlett's character was “playing the field,” and if the inclusion of the family subplot added anything of value. As always, we wrap with the ultimate question: Was It Good Though?

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we're breaking down Kevin Feige's massive updates on the future of the MCU. From a confirmed reboot post-Secret Wars to a fresh, youthful X-Men lineup directed by Jake Schreier, Marvel is hitting reset in a big way. Legacy heroes like Iron Man and Captain America will be recast, and a shift toward quality over quantity is in full effect. We also touch on the long-awaited Blade project, Miles Morales' uncertain future, and how Disney+ fatigue is reshaping Marvel's storytelling approach. This is your roadmap to Marvel's next era.Timestamps and Topics:00:00 MCU reboot confirmed after Secret Wars00:10 Jake Schreier to direct new youthful X-Men cast00:18 Legacy characters like Iron Man and Cap will be recast00:24 Marvel's new roadmap extends to 203200:30 Feige's push for quality over quantity00:42 Thunderbolts' role in Marvel's future strategy00:51 Changes to Disney+ strategy and standalone storytelling01:05 Blade's ongoing delays and Mahershala Ali's role01:12 Miles Morales is still off-limits—for now01:20 Final thoughts and listener calloutKey Takeaways:The MCU will undergo a soft reboot after Secret Wars.Jake Schreier (Thunderbolts) will direct a new, young X-Men team.Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Panther will be recast for the new era.Marvel is shifting to fewer, higher-quality projects, moving away from oversaturation.Thunderbolts is being framed as a model for future smaller-budget films.Feige acknowledges Disney+ has caused fatigue and wants standalone stories to return.Blade is still in the works, but delays persist—six years and counting.Miles Morales is not yet allowed in live-action, but plans are likely forming.Marvel's current plan runs through 2032, with a major pivot starting after that.Memorable Quotes:“The MCU is being rebooted. That's according to Kevin Feige.”“From ‘07 to 2019, they made about 50 hours of content. Post-Endgame, they made 127 hours in just six years. That was way too much.”“He was specifically told Miles Morales—you can't touch that yet.”Call to Action:Like what you heard?

It's just Kevin and Lauren again this week, since Andrew thinks having a life is important or whatever. They talk the Squid Game finale, Jurassic World Rebirth, Megan 2.0, and Heads of State. The show opens up like last week, with the discussion of the final season of Squid Game. This time, though, Kevin and Lauren come with full knowledge of the finale. If you haven't watched for some reason (seriously, why haven't you?!?) be warned this will be spoiler heavy. Basically, the spoiler free review is, it's a really strong ending to a really great show. No other episode or spin offs need to be created, and yet... But I digress! Next up, Kevin talks Jurassic World Rebirth, starring Scarlett Johanson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali. As far as the Jurassic films go, it's definitely one of the better ones. It's go action, adventure, and a boatload of CGI (that could be better, lets be honest). The story and the heart are there and it leaves the door open for more films, so what's not to love?!? Speaking of things not to love... Megan 2.0... Lauren saw this film and, like the majority of the viewing audience, was left wanting. The film steers away from the horror genre into more of an action film and it seems like it doesn't translate well. The film is problematic in many ways, all of which are detailed by Lauren. So if you need to convince yourself not to see this one in the theater, don't skip this section. Remember, at APNC, we love to watch so you don't have to! Kevin closes the show with Heads of State, a film he was convinced would be in the same category as Megan 2.0. But here's the thing - it's a lot of fun. John Cena and Idris Elba play the US President and the British Prime Minister, respectively. This is an action comedy so we aren't looking towards award season, but they play their parts wonderfully. Look, if you loved the action comedies of the 90s (tink Tango and Cash or anything with Arnie), then you should really enjoy this film. As a massive bonus, it's on Prime and won't cost you a dime! As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let is know how we are doing and what we can be doing better. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

We learned about dino DNA for the first time in 1993 with the first Jurassic Park movie. That DNA must have staying power but they're still churning out Jurassic movies 32 years later. This time, in “Jurassic World: Rebirth”, it's Scarlett Johanssen, post-Black Widow, taking the lead. She plays Zora, a merc hired by a questionable pharmaceutical rep to help a dinosaur expert get access to a forbidden area where dinosaurs still roam free. This is all to get some dino DNA to help cure heart disease. Is it worth going to the theater to find out what happens next? Check out this episode to find out! “Jurassic World: Rebirth” also stars Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacano and Ed Skrein. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Send us a textDinosaurs and box office numbers find a way, even when creativity doesn't. The latest Jurassic installment stomped through theaters with a staggering $318 million global opening, proving once again that this prehistoric franchise remains Hollywood's gold standard for bankable intellectual property.Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali headline Jurassic World Rebirth, bringing star power to a franchise that's circling the creative drain yet continues to draw massive audiences. We dissect what works in this seventh installment – primarily Gareth Edwards' undeniable talent for spectacular visual set pieces – and what falls flat. From the breathtaking Titanosaurus sequence in tall grass to the genuinely thrilling underwater T-Rex chase (finally realizing a sequence from Crichton's original novel), the film delivers exactly what audiences expect from the franchise: dinosaurs hunting humans in increasingly elaborate scenarios.But beneath the impressive technical achievement lies familiar franchise fatigue. Characters feel underdeveloped despite the talented cast, emotional beats are undercut by the need to move to the next set piece, and the film's structure often feels algorithmically designed to hit nostalgic beats from previous entries rather than charting bold new territory. As this film kicks off another planned trilogy, we question where the franchise can possibly go from here without completely rehashing familiar territory.We also discuss Christopher Nolan's mysterious Odyssey trailer that premiered exclusively before Jurassic World screenings and look ahead to next week's Superman release – another major franchise reboot that faces similar challenges in balancing fan expectations with creative revitalization. Can James Gunn deliver something fresh in a crowded superhero landscape, or are we destined for another case of franchise fatigue?

We begin with the big movie of the week, "Jurassic World: Rebirth" which aims to reboot the decades-long "Jurassic" franchise. Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey are all wildly overqualified for running from freakish, mutant dinosaurs. In theaters. Next up is one of the best movies ever made, and that's not hyperbole: Wong Kar Wai's masterpiece "In the Mood for Love" is back in theaters for its 25th anniversary. If you've never seen this gorgeous, achingly romantic movie projected, here's your chance. The impossibly glamorous Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung co-star.
