The Latest Movies With Entertainment Commentator Tat Wolfen
28 Years Later
Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award-nominated writer Alex Garland return to the world they first unleashed in 28 Days Later with a terrifying new chapter—28 Years Later.
Nearly three decades after the devastating outbreak of the rage virus, the remnants of humanity are still trapped within a brutal quarantine. Amidst this chaos, a small group of survivors has carved out an existence on a remote island, linked to the mainland by a single, fortified causeway.
But when one member dares to venture back to the mainland, he encounters a world transformed—one where the infected are not the only monsters. Twisted secrets, disturbing wonders, and terrifying new threats await, as both the virus and the survivors have evolved in horrific ways.
While some may argue that 28 Years Later builds on the legacy of the original cult classic, this latest instalment plunges viewers into a bleak, adrenaline-fueled universe that ultimately falls short. Visually harrowing as ever, it delivers on style but not substance.
Elio
In Pixar’s all-new animated adventure Elio, the cosmos has something to say – and this time, it’s calling Earth. Directed by Domee Shi, the film follows 11-year-old Elio, a lonely, imaginative boy who’s obsessed with aliens and dreams of escaping his world. When he’s mistakenly identified as Earth’s ambassador by an alien civilization, Elio is thrust into the Communiverse, a vibrant, intergalactic hub filled with wildly imaginative species from across the universe.
Elio, who’s never felt like he belonged on Earth – especially in the drab confines of a military base where everyone looks the same – finally finds himself in a world as unique and colorful as he is. With dazzling animation and a heartfelt story, Elio is more than just a space adventure. It’s a tale about identity, belonging, and the universal desire to be understood.
Pixar artists created dozens of imaginative alien species, each with their own look, movement, and language. The film’s vivid visuals contrast sharply with Elio’s muted life on Earth, reinforcing his journey from outsider to unlikely hero.
Elio is a cosmic misadventure that asks: what if the thing you were searching for… found you first? It’s a charming and magical experience that brings back the essence of classic Disney storytelling – highly recommended for kids and families alike.
