The Playing Field

Opening this weekend, of course, is bae, I mean The Mandalorian and Grogu - a fun creature feature with all the flashbangs you'd expect from the franchise.

Also out in cinemas this week is Eagles of the Republic, which stretches the critique of Colonial cosplay to its extreme. Two others out this week are Passenger and Finding Emily.

Still going strong — Lee Cronin's The Mummy, Obsession, Mortal Kombat II, Michael, The Sheep Detectives, Normal, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Mother Mary, and The Christophers.

Arthouse? Eagles of the Republic. Rollercoaster Cinema? The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Eagles of the Republic (Review)
An incisive film about how performance and power can become deadly brothers.

OBSCURAE Recommends

As long as you're not gonna take it too seriously, I recommend The Mandalorian and Grogu – but if you're in the market for something more substantial, go see Obsession.

The Mandalorian and Grogu and Creepy Crawlies and things that slither in the night... (Spoiler Review)
Sometimes things are objectively not good cinema -- but with filmmakers making actively harmful art during an era of Good and Evil, I can’t find it in me to be angry at the “Star Wars Movie Made For Kids”.
