It's your usual Arthouse Tuesday with a massive wallop of a blockbuster at the front end. Like we like to say around here, we do it all at Breakfast All Day.
We begin with a super-early review of "Gladiator II," Ridley Scott's follow-up to his 2000 best-picture Oscar winner. Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger and Connie Nielsen star in this sweeping historical epic. This is a spoiler-free review. In theaters Nov. 22.
Then it's back to your regular Tuesday programming with a discussion of "Christmas Eve in Miller's Point." Tyler Taormina's film is a shaggy hang that follows a sprawling Italian-American family over Christmas Eve in suburban Long Island. Maria Dizzia, Michael Cera, Matilda Fleming, Francesca Scorsese and Sawyer Spielberg are among the massive ensemble. In theaters in limited release.
Finally, another small gem we really enjoyed: "Meanwhile on Earth" from French writer-director Jérémy Clapin, whose 2019 animated feature "I Lost My Body" was nominated for an Academy Award. Megan Northam stars as a young woman mourning the loss of her astronaut brother. But when a mysterious voice comes to her and offers her a bargain, she wonders whether she can bring him back. In theaters in limited release.
Come on back Friday when we'll have reviews of "Red One," "Hot Frosty" and "Bird," plus movie news. Have a great week and we'll see you then!
