Seagate has announced that the 1TB ($150) and 2TB ($280) discounts are permanent. So if you don’t want it now, it’s best to wait if you want to save some more. With Western Digital releasing their versions soon, I’m hoping the Seagate 2TB gets a selling price of around $220 sometime this year.

Genre: horror/romance
Lead time: 2h 10m
Directed by: Luca Guadagnino
Throw: Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet, Michael Stuhlbarg

call me by your name Director Luca Guadagnino and star Timothée Chalamet have teamed up again to create a romantic horror film about love and cannibalism. Chalamet co-stars as Lee, a spirited young drifter with a hunger for human flesh, but the focus is on fellow “Eater” Maren (Taylor Russell) who seeks belonging and reassurance in a harsh and uncertain world.

From our review:

In addition to preparing for a huge amount of blood and short brutal violence, Bones and all this is a film that is better perceived at the moment than in the descriptions. Each new revelation about Maren’s past and present is painstakingly revealed, in part because she doesn’t really understand her own nature and must learn about it with the audience. Screenwriter David Kaiganich (writer, producer and developer of the popular horror series Terror) never feels like he’s in a hurry to get to any particular part of the story. He and Guadagnino give Maren a lot of room to learn through conversations, first with new acquaintance Sally (spy bridgeMark Rylance, disappearing again in an incredible performance), then with a newer acquaintance, Lee (Chalame), a wise boy about her age.

Genre: fantasy adventure
Lead time: 2h 14m
Directed by: Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daly
Throw: Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Dir-Jean Page

Chris Pine (English)Star Trek) plays Ejin Darvis, a former bard-turned-thief who forms an unlikely band of adventurers on a quest to find a powerful lost artifact. When the group faces a dangerous figure bent on world domination, Ejin and his allies will have to fight, run and roll the initiative to save the day.

From our review,

The film is playful and serious throughout, emphasizing that these are serious situations for the characters. Barbarian Rodriguez is still reeling from a broken relationship, and when her storyline pays off, it’s hilarious, but viewers are still encouraged to feel and empathize with her pain. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves does not recreate game mechanics or a sense of improvisation, but, say, The Legend of the Voice Machine, but this is the best Dungeons & Dragons movie we could hope for. Not only is it a fun fantasy movie, but it’s also a great adaptation of the gaming session. And this is an invitation to a new and more visual version of the world, dedicated to the already beloved players – and, it seems, beloved filmmakers.

From our review,

How to blow up a pipeline This is a rare film that effectively weaponizes a radical political message by pairing it with conventional genre storytelling. It’s like a game-changer: a film that will inspire both artists and budding activists for generations to come. It’s gripping, intense entertainment with an explosive, catchy final line of dialogue. 2023 has been a great year for movies so far, but this one will be hard to beat.

Genre: horror comedy
Lead time: 1h 35m
Directed by: Chris McKay
Throw: Nicholas Hoult, Nicolas Cage, Aquafina

Nicolas Cage plays Dracula in this comedic take on the legendary vampire, in which his servant Robert Montague Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) struggles to come to terms with the toxic relationship he has with his immortal boss.

From our review:

Holt, like Renfield, is reasonably humble and unassuming – he’s probably the most sincere part of an otherwise cynical project – but he’s the only actor who seems to have been allowed to use anything resembling a comedic or dramatic soul. He’s also the only one not burdened with dialogue playing like an amateur improvisation. He can’t wait to see. It’s the absolute minimum for an on-screen actor, but it’s a must for almost every other aspect renfield can’t satisfy, from his mind-boggling action that refuses to enjoy thrills or raw fun, to his disjointed tale of a man who finds ways to chastise his asshole boss. In that sense, it has to be the most interesting comedy in the world. On the contrary, it’s just a series of disparate images, linked together by half-baked jokes that you could put into the mouth of almost any other character. The result will be the same defeat.
