DEATH OF A UNICORN

DISNEY’S SNOW WHITE

Disney’s latest reimagining of one of its classic animated movies arrives, with Gal Gadot crewing up the scenery as the Evil Queen and Rachel Zegler as Snow White. In this oft-told fairy tale, there are still all the elements we remember from the 1937 version, from the Wicked Witch to the Seven Dwarfs, as well as new Disney-esque songs and a sequence that’s sure to spawn a theme-park ride. There’s a whole generation of kids who may not know this fantasy, so be sure to bring one along to the theater.

IN THE LOST LANDS
R
George R. R. Martin isn’t all Game of Thrones all the time, as this truly wild fantasy flick proves. With Resident Evil creator Paul W. S. Anderson at the helm and his wife Milla Jovovich leading the charge through a dystopian world where monsters and demons rule, this one is an action-lover’s dream. Add in Dave Bautista as her guide and protector and a host of creepy monsters sprung from Martin’s unique imagination and the result is a rollicking cinematic experience.

THE ALTO KNIGHTS
R
Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson is back with this high-concept gangster flick that explores the fraught relationship between Mafia bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello in the 1950s. It’s an oft-told tale, but this time with the twist of Robert De Niro cast in both roles. As the two men’s lives unfold in a deadly battle for power, only one will stay out of the slammer. De Niro, who owns two Oscars already, shows off his chops in this dark drama.

BLACK BAG

BLACK BAG R We’ve all seen the husband-and-wife spy flicks and TV shows that preceded Black Bag, but with Academy Award-winner Steven Soderbergh at the helm and Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender as the undercover couple, this one’s got a lot going for it. Pierce Brosnan, Naomie Harris, and Regé-Jean Page round out the cast in this tense thriller filled with plenty of twists and turns.
