New Movies: ‘Oblivion,’ ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’
We’re still two months away from the official start of summer, but we have our first “summer blockbuster”-type film opening this weekend, along with a smaller, darker crime picture with an absurdly good-looking cast.
‘Oblivion’
In this futuristic, sci-fi thriller, a man discovers that Earth—long since abandoned, following a war with aliens—may hold a few big secrets. Can he figure everything out in time to save mankind?
Directed by Joseph Kosinski
Starring Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Melissa Leo
‘The Place Beyond the Pines’
When Luke reconnects with an old flame, he discovers that he has a son. Not long after, he becomes embroiled in a spree of bank robberies and oh my God could this cast be any better-looking? (This film has been out in limited release since March 29.)
Directed by Derek Cianfrance
Starring Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, Rose Byrne
