Description

The Apple TV+ movie "The Gorge" is half of a really solid sci-fi thriller. Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy are fine in this high concept horror flick about two highly skilled assassins who are assigned to guard opposite sides of a mysterious ravine. One side is part of the Eastern bloc, and the other is from the West. These operatives communicate via binoculars until an unlikely romance develops. That part of the movie works. However, when they descend into the gorge and encounter deadly zombies, the movie takes an awkward, sometimes unintentionally funny turn. What could have been an intriguing and thoughtful chiller never quite lives up to its promise. “The Gorge” doesn’t mine any new depths but still manages to be a serviceable action flick.



Amy Schumer's raunchy comic persona is on full display in the goofy, foul-mouthed Netflix comedy, "Kinda Pregnant," from Adam Sandler’s laugh factory Happy Madison Productions. Schumer plays Lainy, a single grade schoolteacher who has a falling out with her unfaithful boyfriend. Instead of marriage, he wants a menage a trois. In an attempt to garner sympathy, the despondent Lainey puts on a fake baby bump and pretends to be in the family way. Things go awry when she falls for a nice guy, played by Will Forte, who values honesty above all. Schumer’s script is very predictable and warmed over. While it manages a few sledgehammer laughs, the movie never hits its stride. Whether or not any of this works for you will depend on your tolerance level for off-color and scatological humor. "Kinda Pregnant" is kinda gloomy.
