Memorial Day weekend offers a variety of options, some of them even good both in theaters and at home. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy are here to talk you through nine of them. They include Cate Blanchett as a nun who may have discovered the second coming (The New Boy) and another film about resurrecting the dead (The Surrender). A musician you may have missed gets the documentary treatment (Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted), Netflix returns to the world of R.L. Stine (Fear Street: Prom Queen) and a writer may or may not find romance on a retreat (Jane Austen Wrecked My Life). Guy Ritchie takes an all-star cast in pursuit of life’s treasure (Fountain of Youth) while Paul Reubens tells the story of his life (Pee-Wee As Himself). Disney tries another live-action remake (Lilo & Stitch) and Tom Cruise puts the last chapter on one of the great action franchises of all-time (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning)
