Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, On the Rocks, Rebecca, The Witches, Over the Moon – 18
A bevy of films to review this week. Borat returns to the big screen for the first time in 14 years and it is as cringe (in a good way) as ever in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray reunite in On the Rocks but something of the spark got left in Lost…

Chemical Hearts, Tesla, Boys State
Lots of streaming from home options this week with “Chemical Hearts” “Tesla” and “Boys State”. Unfortunately “Chemical Hearts” lacks heart – it’s like an AI wrote a script of what it thought would be marketable to teens. Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams star. “Tesla” is an uninspired portrait of an inspiring figure. Ethan Hawke provides…
