Thursday is once again movie night in Memphis, this week with a particular Halloween flavor.
With Halloween around the corner, here are some spooky films — new and old — to get you in the spirit.
“Challengers” and “Call Me By Your Name” director Luca Guadagnino takes a swing at “cancel culture” and Malco’s Throwback Thursday showing this week hits home — partly.
Fall arrived — on the calendar and in the theaters. Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” begins a string of award-season hopefuls, including one the could solidify Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s transition from the mat to the matinee.
There are plenty of new movies opening this week, but it’s a particularly good week for Memphis’ inconsistent repertory scene. Plus, Chris Herrington gives us his top 5 Robert Redford movies.
The movie/TV Stephen King adaptation doesn’t have a great history, but it does have a lengthy one.
The highest-grossing movie of 2025 worldwide is arriving in Memphis this week. Plus, Chris Herrington also ranks his Top 9 Spike Lee films.
Lee directs Denzel Washington in a remake of a classic Japanese drama. Coen Brothers' cult comedy is at the Pink Palace.
“It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley,” a new feature-length documentary about Buckley’s life and music, will be released Friday, Aug. 8, where it will begin a full, exclusive engagement at Malco’s Ridgeway Cinema Grill.
At mid-year, the biggest comedy hit at a somewhat resurgent American box office has been a sleeper-success female-buddy movie. Maybe that will change in the weeks ahead.
Plus, two new horror films and a thriller about an anti-government extremist in a stand-off with a chief of police.
And “Spinal Tap” goes to 41.
“Brad Pitt and race cars? I guess Father’s Day comes twice this year.”
Back to “Brokeback Mountain” and why you should see “Materialists.”
Seeing a movie on the big screen with the score performed live is a real treat, and one usually reserved for silent films. But not so Thursday.
Is going to the movies about popcorn escapism or sitting in discomfort? Plus, “Karate Kid: Legends” brings back Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan, together.
Other movies making a comeback this week are “North by Northwest,” “The Wiz” and “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.”
Also notable, “Shadow Force,” an action thriller about an estranged couple who are former special ops soldiers who go on the run with their son, is a new release this week.
Also, comedy classic “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” returns for a 50th anniversary big screen revival at several local theaters.
Believe the buzz; “Sinners” demands to be seen with the best sound and image quality you can find.
Advance word on “Sinners,” which incorporates the contributions of many Memphis-area musicians, is very strong.
April means action for movies, and the two most promising, new wide-release titles coming to Memphis screens this week “The Amateur” and “Warfare,” fit the bill.
With “Luckiest Man in America” and “Freaky Tales,” this might be a good week at the movies for anyone nostalgic for the 1980s.
What were the odds English-Irish actor Steve Coogan would grace local screens twice this week? Strangely, pretty good.
