Freeze Frame: "Musk" (R), "Tenzing" (PG), "Love of Your Life" (R)
Whether you view the documentary “Musk” as a hit piece or an unbiased overview of the world’s richest man, there’s no doubt that Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney’s 4-hour epic is enlightening. Elon Musk, of course, is the force behind Space X, Tesla and appropriator of Twitter. To say that he’s a unique individual is a substantial understatement. Gibney and several people who know Musk well, provide a sweeping look at someone who has amassed heretofore unseen wealth and power. For those who want to be informed, “Musk” is must-see.
The Apple TV drama “Tenzing” serves as something of a historical correction. It’s well known that Sir Edmund Hillary was the first to conquer Mt. Everest in 1953. But what about the sherpa who guided him there? In this involving drama from Australian filmmaker Jennifer Peedom, the action is seen mostly from the viewpoint of Indian-Nepalese mountaineer Tenzing Norgay, played by Tibetan actor Genden Phunstsok. Tom Hiddleston is Hillary and Willem Dafoe is the expedition leader. “Tenzing” is a thoughtful and engaging action film as well as an instructive biopic.
The Amazon Prime movie “Love of Your Life” is a globe-trotting romantic drama. Margaret Qualley plays a nurse who loses her loved one to Covid. As a coping mechanism for her grief, she escapes to the places the couple wanted to travel, leaving no trace of her whereabouts for the family and friends she left behind. Her despair prevents her from fully connecting with other potential romantic interests. While well-acted and beautifully photographed, “Love of Your Life” is a somewhat morose and melancholy four-hankey weeper.

Freeze Frame: "The Social Reckoning" (R), "Angel and the Badman" (PG-13), "Animals" (R)
"We're way past making friends." So goes the chilling promo quote from filmmaker Aaron Sorkin's "The Social Reckoning," a sharp follow up to the now classic Facebook exposé, "The Social Network." In this smartly written and involving true story, Mikey Madison plays whistleblower Frances Haugen who worked with Wall Street Journal writer Jeff Horwitz, played by Jeremy Allen White, to expose some of Facebook's darkest secrets. Jeremy Strong plays Mark Zuckerberg like he's a Bond villain. Facebook’s use of algorithms to radicalize people and maximize user time for profit is put under a withering microscope. “The Social Reckoning” is an ethically provocative broadside blow at big business social media.
Zachary Levi steps into the boots once worn by John Wayne in the classic 1947 Western, "Angel and the Badman." In this workmanlike remake, Levi plays a wounded bandit who holes up to heal in the homestead of a Quaker family. Sheriff Tommy Lee Jones and some malicious bad guys are in hot pursuit looking for Zachary and some stolen Confederate gold. Fans of sagebrush sagas will likely find a lot to like in “Angel and the Badman,” a reasonably entertaining Western throwback.
Ben Affleck stars in and directs the tense Netflix thriller, "Animals." He plays a deep in debt Los Angeles mayoral candidate whose son is kidnapped. Kerry Washington is his long-suffering wife, and Gillian Anderson is a mysterious character who loans Ben millions in cash for the ransom. There are more than a few "Hey, wait a minute..." moments in the spotty script, but the cast and lively pace make “Animals” a provocative distraction.
Robert Redford once said, "You're only as good as you dare to be bad." Tom Cruise and Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu have dared big time, and the result is the oddball climate change satire, "Digger." In this over-the-top, very meta movie, Cruise is a crass oil tycoon responsible for steering the planet toward environmental ruin. Supporting actors Riz Ahmed, John Goodman and Sandra Hüller ably channel the movie’s weird vibe. Cruise is terrific in an opus that's incredibly irritating, and as subtle as a sledgehammer. But “Digger” also has fleeting moments of brilliance. It seems that Iñárritu is daring audiences to hate "Digger" and, frankly, most people will.
Okay, Cohorts...fans of pulp novelist Colleen Hoover, the fourth cinematic adaptation of her work has arrived. In the erotic thriller "Verity," Dakota Johnson plays a woman hired as a ghostwriter for a popular novelist. But naturally, things aren't what they seem and the lines between reality and fiction become blurred. Josh Hartnett and a very busy Anne Hathaway co-star. You can't blame the cast, but the whole preposterous affair becomes unintentionally laughable...that is, when it's not unintentionally dull.
Local filmmaker Jen Greenstreet's new docudrama "May Contain: My Life" is now available to stream on outlets like Apple TV and Amazon Prime. It's a cautionary tale as well as an informative look at the struggles of people dealing with food allergies. Several sufferers tell their stories, including NFL Hall of Famer Jerome "The Bus" Bettis. “May Contain: My Life” is a thoughtful cry for tolerance and acceptance.
