This one hits theaters and Netflix Dec. 31.

Movie Preview: Denzel comes to Dunsinane, “Macbeth” for Christmas

This minimalist, haunted looking take on “the Scottish play” resembles the Orson Welles 1940s version.

Knowing the Coen Brothers (Joel directed and adapted it), no doubt they/he willdeny ever seeing that “Macbeth” before taking on “The Tragedy of Macbeth” for Apple (in theaters Dec. 25, streaming just after), just as they denied taking a look at the original “True Grit.”

Sure.

A great role for the esteemed Mr. Washington, a grand villainous opportunity for Frances McDormand as well.

Movie Preview: The RPatts “Batman”

What do we think?

“Twilight” to “Dark Knight at Midnight?”

It’s dark enough, but the casting and the visuals suggest a tiny hint of Tim Burton whimsy.

Zoe Kravitz, Andy Serkis, Turturro, Farrell and Jeffrey Wright? Keoghan and Dano? I’m in.

March 22.

Warners needs this to work, and it seems more likely to pay off than one might have initially thought.

A less mythic origin story than Nolan’s.
