Movie Review: Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
I cannot decide which is the more difficult type of review: positive without fawning, negative without being mean-spirited or ambivalent. The last type of review is where I find myself with the new movie Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets:; utter and complete ambivalence. There is much to admire about the latest from director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Leon: The Professional, among others) but there is also plenty of empty, sci-fi spectacle.

Weekend Box Office
War for the Planet of the Apes takes the number one spot at the box office this weekend with a domestic gross of $56 million dollars and a worldwide gross of $102 million dollars, making it the most successful Apes movie overseas. Spider-Man: Homecoming drops down to number two with a weekend gross of $45 million dollars with the movie's daily box office falling since its July 7th release and an overall 61% drop since July 7th. Despicable Me 3 is still holding strong at number three with a weekend gross of $18 million dollars. Baby Driver is still holding its own at the box office at a strong number four with an $8 million dollar weekend gross with only a 32% drop since its June 28 release which is really good for an Edgar Wright film. The Judd Apatow produced comedy, The Big Sick, moves up three spots to number five with a weekend gross of $7 million dollars, becoming the highest grossing Sundance movie this year and the second highest grossing Amazon Studios release so far.

Dunkirk Review
The clock didn’t stop, it just held its breath. It’s the prelude. It’s the darkest hour. It’s a beach that seems like it’s detached from the rest of civilization. It’s the grey skies or the churning murky blue-green of the sea. It’s the gargantuan landscape. The sound of German bombers and Stukas. It’s the Mole. The Sea. The Air. A week. A day. An hour. It’s at first disconnected moments, thrown out in a web of time that seeks to lock into place over separate levels. It’s brutal. Raw. Simple. It’s survival whittled down to its element. There’s no need to know the backstory, the tired exposition. The motivation. It’s all there in the action. The sound. The horror in the eyes. The emptiness.
