Films worth seeing on a big screen right now

N
ot to jinx it, but it’s been
a pretty good year at the
movies so far.
Audiences are feeling more
comfortable returning to
theaters, two years after the
COVID-19 pandemic wreaked
havoc on Hollywood and studio
scheduling.
And it’s not just superheroes
and blockbuster fi lms that movie
fans are embracing. Sure, “The
Batman” is the No. 1 box offi ce
moneymaker of the year so far,
and the new “Dr. Strange” fi lm
brings the Marvel Cinematic
Universe back to theaters in
early May.
But there’s plenty happening
beyond the franchises, and now
is a particularly good time to go
back to the movies, especially
if it’s been a while since you’ve
been to your local movie house.
Here are four fi lms currently in
theaters that are well worth a
night out.
NOW AVAILABLE!
Delivery to La Grande and Baker City medicinal patients twice a week (Tues and Wed.)
starting on September the 21st. Order must be submitted by 11 am pst the day of delivery.

‘EVERYTHING
EVERYWHERE ALL
AT ONCE’
Michelle Yeoh stars in this
brain-melter that feels like
10,000 movies happening
concurrently, all on top of one
another. Yeoh plays an over-
worked wife and mother who,
during a routine tax audit, is
introduced to the concept of the
multiverse, where across infi nite
realities she’s tasked with saving
the world. It sounds like a lot of
mumbo jumbo but at its core it’s
a movie about family and under-
standing, and it plays out in epic,
hilarious, action-packed fashion.
‘THE UNBEARABLE
WEIGHT OF MASSIVE
TALENT’
Nicolas Cage, master thes-
pian or living meme? Well, why
can’t he be both? In this meta
comedy, Cage stars as himself,
the most eccentric and absurd
actor of his generation, and
he reclaims his narrative by
embracing his cult status and
showing why there will only ever
be one Nicolas Cage. With refer-
ences to his movies, this is a fun,
surprisingly sweet-natured look
at Hollywood, stardom and the
one-of-a-kind career path of one
of the wildest to ever do it.
‘THE NORTHMAN’
Picture “Hamlet” meets
“Braveheart,” with Vikings. That’s
the pitch for this brutal, blood-
caked epic starring Alexander
Skarsgard as a ninth century war-
rior prince who watches as his
father (Ethan Hawke) is beheaded
by the sword of his brother and
vows to avenge his death.
‘DOG’
Channing Tatum co-directs
and stars as an Army Ranger
tasked with delivering a military
dog to the funeral of its handler
in this comic drama that has
laughs, heart and a big ol’ dog at
its center. See, it doesn’t have to
be complex or mind-blowing or
involve multiverses of storytell-
ing. When executed the right way,
the basic elements still deliver.
