This weekend, get ready for some cinematic treats as award contenders hit your screens, with claymation favorite ‘Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl’ leading the pack.
In the world of animated features, ‘Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl’ is spreading its wings. This delightful claymation sequel is making waves, likely earning a Best Animated Feature nomination at the Oscars. However, despite its impressive adventure, it might not clinch the award like its predecessor, ‘Curse of the Were-Rabbit.’ The plot sees Wallace, ever the curious inventor, and his skeptical dog, Gromit, facing off against the nefarious penguin thief Feathers McGraw. It’s been thirty years since this villain’s antics in ‘The Wrong Trousers,’ and now he’s back for revenge after years in a zoo. Lucky for us, this family-friendly flick is streaming on Netflix, inviting everyone to enjoy the nostalgia.
Switching gears, ‘Wicked’ remains a must-watch, even if it’s only on VOD. With its strong position as a Best Picture nominee, this musical sensation requires no introduction. It’s still mesmerizing audiences in theaters while also being available for home viewing. For those who haven’t yet experienced ‘Defying Gravity,’ now’s your chance.
Meanwhile, ‘A Real Pain’ is providing laughs and tears. Starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as cousins on a poignant journey across Poland, this movie is a VOD gem. It seems almost certain to land nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor. The blend of humor and heart in this road dramedy is not to be missed, as it tackles themes of family and legacy.
In a stark change of genre, ‘The Front Room’ is delivering chills with its unique brand of horror comedy. Brandy Norwood stars as a new mother grappling with her husband’s disturbing stepmother, Solange, who might just have supernatural secrets of her own. Described as a weaker entry in the A24 horror lineup, this film still offers some unnerving moments that fans of the genre might enjoy.
Whether you’re revisiting the charming world of Wallace & Gromit or diving into the emotional depths of ‘A Real Pain,’ this weekend’s picks promise something for every taste. These films not only entertain but also showcase the diverse storytelling that’s captivating audiences globally.
