Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:52:05 GMT

Buckle up, movie fans: You’re in for one wild ride this week.Just consider what awaits you: Emma Stone turns into a twitchy Frankenstein-like creature with a hardy sexual appetite; a flock of evil gargantuan parakeets terrorize in Hayao Miyazaki’s latest animated fable; and a mysterious, life-altering event turns mild-mannered deer into menacing creatures that freak out Julia Roberts.Here’s our roundup, but a word of advice. It’s best to keep a mind wide open while viewing.“Poor Things”: Yorgos Lanthimos will never be accused of coasting on his laurels and playing it safe. The Greek filmmaker all but gobsmacked audiences with “The Lobster,” “The Favorite” and “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” and he relishes coloring way outside of conventional narrative lines. And frankly contemporary modern cinema is better for it. His latest is true to form, and is as warped, brilliant and brazenly deluded as the legendary creator that it creatively tips its hat to — Baron von Frankenstein. Ma...

Two of Holmes’ alleged lovers at ABC women were in their 20s, as New York magazine reported. One, according to the Daily Mail, was a 24-year-old intern who began having sex with him in 2015, including in his office.
