 In “What Happens Later,” Meg Ryan shines not only in front of the camera but also behind it, as director and co-writer. This effervescent, illustrated romantic comedy explores the inherent need for reconciliation within ourselves and with others, all through the lens of an ex-partner's relationship problems. It's a delightful return to the big screen for Ryan after an extended hiatus, in a genre she helped rejuvenate alongside filmmakers like Rob Reiner and Nora Ephron, to whom this film she is touchingly dedicated. Adapting Steven Dietz's “Shooting Stars” with Dietz and Kirk Lynn, Ryan puts his own confident spin on the formula, subverting it while highlighting the characters' witty banter and touching moments of sadness. She maybe absorbed a thing or two from Reiner and Ephron through creative osmosis. Director: Meg Ryan Writers: Steven Dietz, Kirk Lynn, Meg Ryan Stars Meg Ryan, David Duchovny, Hal Liggett The story begins with a metaphor of two snowflakes falling fr...

 There is a challenge, which practically amounts to a moral responsibility, in making a drama set in the era of American slavery of black people. That is to say: find a way to make its fundamental horror understand to an audience that has long been accustomed to its representations. Lawmen: Beginning in Arkansas in 1862, in the midst of the American Civil War, Bass Reeves finds him in a scene set around a card table. Bass (David Oyelowo, co-producer and star) and his enslaver, George Reeves (Shea Whigham), play for his freedom. This opportunity, this card toss, is Bass's reward for performing heroically in the Confederate army, to which he was indeed drafted when George enlisted. Creator: Chad Feehan Stars: David Oyelowo, June Christopher, Dennis Quaid The scene combines terrible tension (Bass trembles and almost cries) and an even more terrible evocation of what it means for another person to have dominion over you. He captures how terribly unfair and inhumane this is and makes vi...

 The film begins with two, maybe three minutes of titles and trailers that made me think I accidentally turned on the trailer instead of the film itself, but no, that's just Roberts laying out his method and establishing Tomic as a man of talents. singular. "My nickname is Spider-Man," he says. "I am one of the biggest thieves in Paris." Others call him “elusive” and “a legend” who “had guts.” “The biggest art heist in the history of France,” he reads on the screen. “Told by the real thief… with the real detectives… with a dramatic reconstruction.” Five masterpieces were stolen in what would be, in Tomic's own words, his last work.  Soon enough, the doctor calms down and sets the bait while Tomic sits in the center and talks about how his “receiver” – a person who buys stolen goods from thieves to distribute – gave him a list of paintings to “acquire,” for the ordered price of €50 each. We meet some Parisian police officers and art exhibitors, and take a bri...

 One woman we soon discover is Sister Lynn (Helene Udy) crying in a Catholic confessional. She becomes increasingly upset as she cries and laments for herself because she always wanted to have a child of her own but she couldn't, and now she has one of her own, she was stolen from a woman she killed. Then we realize that she has blood on her hands. Moments later, the priest enters the room and there is Lynn, hanging from the end of a rope. It's 1955. Now we are in 1973. The church is no longer a church, it is a nightclub called Inferno. Mel (Bringas) and her boyfriend Brandon (Stephen Ruffin) rehearse for the club's opening dance contest. There's eyeshadow up here and lapels up there. They get along quite well together, although they are nursing some nerves. Mel suddenly runs to the bathroom to throw up, and you know what that means, because in movies, female characters don't throw up for any reason unless they're pregnant.
