Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy look at eight movies this week including a couple festival titles, some streaming and some new titles in theaters. Steve looks at people trying to put a cult behind them (The Aviary) and a gay romance during Communist Russia (Firebird). Erik looks at a documentary about an additional horror of the Michigan water crisis (Flint: Who Can You Trust?) and Barry Levinson’s film about Holocaust-era boxer Harry Haft (The Survivor). Then both of them see if there’s anything new about an age-old mystery (The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes). A young Finnish girl see what manifests out of the giant egg she found (Hatching). Jim Broadbent stars in the true story of an art theft (The Duke) and Liam Neeson continues his decline below action movie mediocrity – and then some (Memory).
