Color Page 12 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • April 16 - 22, 2023 "MAGIC MIKE'S LAST DANCE" The franchise inspired by star and producer Channing Tatum's experiences as a male dancer gets one more chapter with this Steven Soderber- gh-directed drama, which finds the title character dancing back toward his former career out of necessity after his business plan goes bust. His latest scenario takes him to London under the close watch of a calculating socialite (Salma Hayek Pinault) who wants his help in mounting a stage show, but he soon realizes that succeeding will necessitate his operating on his own terms ... and getting a new troupe of dancers in shape to per- form. +++ (R: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray, Digital and On Demand) "I think I can say that this book more than anything, as much as people have couched it as a book of me search- ing for my mother, I think more than that it is really a love letter to the people who stayed, the people who stepped in, the people who nurtured, the people who loved and taught me. Because those are the people I celebrate." – "CBS Saturday Morning" co-host Michelle Miller, on her book "Belonging: A Daughter's Search for Identity Through Loss and Love" "I never even knew I could do this as a kind of pro- fession until it was much later in my life, but I always knew that I had this thing where I could make people laugh. And I enjoyed it." – Cedric the En- tertainer of "The Neighborhood" on CBS "I think people just don't know how rich and diverse the borderland com- munities are and how hardworking they are and all the things that they have to kind of battle against every day just because they get caught in between the border issues, the good and the bad." – Pati Jinich of "La Frontera With Pati Jinich" on PBS BY JAY BOBBIN Family Viewing Ratings AS Adult situations P Profanity V Violence N Nudity GV Graphic Violence "MARLOWE" Raymond Chandler's detective character Philip Marlowe has had a number of screen incarnations, played by actors from Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum to Elliott Gould and James Garner, and the appropriately intense and brooding Liam Neeson gets a turn in this mystery that reunites him with "Michael Collins" director Neil Jordan. In the late 1930s, Marlowe gets into ever deeper trouble while investigating the apparent fate of an heiress' paramour, with the trail leading to confused identities and exposed secrets ... in true Marlowe-case style. Screenwriters William Monahan ("The Departed") and Jordan based their script on the John Banville novel "The Black-Eyed Blonde"; also in the cast are Diane Kruger, Jessica Lange, Colm Meaney, Alan Cumming and Danny Huston. +++ (R: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray, Digital and On Demand) "MARIE ANTOINETTE: SEASON ONE" One of the most intriguing figures in his- tory is the centerpiece of this drama series televised by PBS, with Emilia Schule as the Austrian woman who joined French royalty at a relatively young age via marriage. Meant to provide an heir for the then-future Louis XVI (Louis Cunningham), Marie meets with imme- diate disapproval from his sisters – but she's not happy with the situation herself, given her lack of emotional connection to her spouse, and the attempted repression of her individu- ality. Marthe Keller ("Marathon Man"), James Purefoy and Jack Archer also star; Marie's saga will continue to unfold, since a second season of this program has been ordered. +++ (Not rated: AS) "MAYBE I DO" A terrific group of actors, some of whom have done other projects along this line, populates this romantic comedy about an impending wedding that might get derailed. Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey play the engaged couple, whose respective sets of parents (Diane Keaton and Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and William H. Macy) sup- posedly never have met. The resulting group encounter reveals some unexpected secrets, namely that each of their mothers has been cheating with the other's father (or vice versa, if one prefers), and that revelation could lead to the cancellation of the intended nuptials. The film was written and directed by television veteran Michael Jacobs ("Boy Meets World," "Charles in Charge"). +++ (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray, Digital and On Demand) "SERPICO" Director Sidney Lumet was a master at stag- ing New York-set police dramas, and this true story of one officer who waged a campaign against corruption in his department is one of the filmmaker's best. Making its debut in the 4K Ultra HD format, the 1973 film (adapted from a Peter Maas book) gives Al Pacino a great role as Frank Serpico, who literally put his life on the line to expose unethical practic - es by other cops ... sometimes trusting supe- riors who ultimately didn't come through for him, leaving him to fend for himself against peers he had angered. The solid supporting cast includes Tony Roberts, Cornelia Sharpe and John Randolph, but this clearly is Pacino's show. ++++ (R: AS, N, P, V) "TRIANGLE OF SADNESS" (APRIL 25) "JESUS REVOLUTION" (APRIL 25) "THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH" (4K ULTRA HD) (APRIL 25) "80 FOR BRADY" (MAY 2) "KNOCK AT THE CABIN" (MAY 9) "Magic Mike's Last Dance" "Triangle of Sadness"
