SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

From gritty superhero reboots to a history-making Disney/Pixar lm, March o ers a breath of fresh air.

Aaaah, March. We’ve moved past the rst two months of 2022, where lms were questionable at best and outright awful at worst. Will this month bring something worthwhile? Here’s a list of things I think might just do that: Kicking things o with a bang, e Batman comes out swinging. Originally a vehicle for Ben A eck’s older Batman, the lm was retooled and recast, now starring Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader. Taking place during Batman’s second year of crime ghting, the story revolves around the Riddler (Paul Dano) as he kills o the elite citizens of Gotham. Clearly aiming for a darker and grittier take similar to Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, the lm is mercifully unconnected to any other DC lm storylines. It also stars an almost unrecognizable Colin Farrell as the Penguin. It releases in theaters on March 3. Next is an animated comedy from Disney and Pixar titled Turning

FOR MORE EVENTS IN Red. Taking place in Toronto beTULSA, OKC AND AROUND THE tween 2002 and STATE, HEAD TO OKMAG.COM. 2003, the story follows Mei, a 13-year-old who,

coupled with the issues that already come with being a teenager, transforms into a red panda whenever she becomes excited or stressed. Directed by Domee Shi (who also created the Academy Award-winning short lm Bao) this lm will, somehow, be the rst woman-directed feature lm at Pixar. e voice cast has newcomer Rosalie Chaiang as well as veteran Sandra Oh. It looks to have all the charm and wonderful animation we’ve come to expect from Pixar. It comes to Disney Plus on March 11.

If you’re looking for action and comedy combined, Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre should t the bill. Directed by Guy Ritchie (Snatch), the lm follows Jason Statham as Orson Fortune, a super spy tasked with taking down an arms broker (Hugh Grant). Aubrey Plaza, Josh Hartnett and Cary Elwes round out the cast. Another return to form in Ritchie’s more recent lm outings, it’s nice to see him back to doing what he was born to do: a combo of comedy, crime and action with a dash of British are and multiple storylines. Hopefully this one comes together as nicely as his older lms when it releases on March 18.

For your romantic comedy lling, check out e Lost City. Starring Sandra Bullock as romance novelist Loretta Sage, the story nds her caught up in a kidnapping by Fairfax (Daniel Radcli e) who believes the treasure from her book actually exists. Channing Tatum plays a dimwitted but well-meaning cover model who goes o to save her. e trailer provides some pretty funny jokes, so here’s hoping that wasn’t all of them! It releases on March 25.

Lastly, a bizarre one from A24 titled Everything Everywhere All At Once. It stars Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as Evelyn Wang, a woman who exists across multiple universes. e story followers her realization of this concept and the consquences that come with it. It looks to o er wonderful ght choreography, a truly original story, and A24’s penchant for making something no one else would dare to touch. It releases on March 25. DREW JOSEPH ALLEN
