In this episode:
Jurassic World capably stomps, roars, and awes, and the Brian Wilson biopic
Love & Mercy reveals much about the tortured Beach Boy with two talented actors: Paul Dano as young Wilson and John Cusack as an older version of the musician (Be sure to read our
interview with John Cusack about Love & Mercy). The Village Voice's Alan Scherstuhl and Stephanie Zacharek, joined by the LA Weekly's Amy Nicholson (and her meowing cat), dive into these two movies, both out this weekend. Three NYC-centric recommendations end this week's episode: Alan suggests catching
Stephanie Gray's Super-8 marvels at Anthology Film Archives in New York, Amy reminds us of
The Wolfpack, a surprising doc she caught at Sundance, out in limited release now, and Stephanie encourages us to seek out the
grand no-wave dramas of French filmmaker Claude Sautet, showing in a special festival June 12-18 at Lincoln Plaza in New York. As always, click on any of those links to read the full review, and get all of our film coverage on our newly designed website,
