*Some suggestions if you want to get out and see a movie this weekend.*

#### MUST SEE

**Fire of Love** (rerelease) Though this documentary about volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft opened earlier this summer, word of mouth has been strong enough to merit an encore presentation. A story of obsession with the natural world that leads to a loving couple’s demise, the film consists largely of found footage shot entirely too close to boiling magma and glued together by the probing narration of indie filmmaker Miranda July. A crowd pleaser for National Geographic devotees as compelling as it is artful.

*Now playing at AMC Thoroughbred 20 and the Belcourt*.

#### DOG DAYS DIVERSION

**Beast** Idris Elba just wants to take his daughters back to his recently deceased wife’s hometown in South Africa, but a suped-up lion eating the villagers becomes a much more immediate concern than mourning. Man vs. Wild action has long been Hollywood’s farewell to the summer movie season. Plus there’s not been a great lion movie since 1996’s *The Ghost and the Darkness*. Either the movie ends up a profound meditation on grief packaged as a genre flick or we get to watch Elba punch a lion in the face like Jason Statham did to the prehistoric shark in 2018’s *The Meg*. Either is worth the price of admission.

*Now playing in theatres*.

#### SUNDANCE SENSATION

**A Love Song** Knoxvillian Dale Dickey (*Winter’s Bone; My Name is Earl*) and go-to Native American celeb Wes Studi (*Dances with Wolves*; *Avatar*) have carved out careers as ubiquitous character actors, but never had a chance to take center stage until this deliberately paced contemporary western hit Sundance earlier this year. A tale of unrequited longing and old friends reunited amid a gorgeous rural Colorado backdrop, the film is a character study made for the big screen offering a depth usually reserved for Oscar season.

*Now playing at AMC Thoroughbred*.

#### UNDER-THE-RADAR DOC

***My Old School*** Jono McLeod returns to his school in Scotland to investigate a mysterious former classmate with a dark secret that rocked his hometown. A documentary and animation hybrid with reenactments by seasoned actor Alan Cumming, the film offers a much-needed respite from shallow political documentaries and deserves audience attention.

*Now playing at the Belcourt*.

#### BLINK-AND-MISS INDIES

***Delia’s Gone*** A dearth of reviews and festival fanfare don’t bode well for this Marisa Tomei mystery set in MAGA country. There’s addiction, a central character with a disability, dark secrets, and the titular disappearing sister. Could make for a solid second half of a double feature or an elevated night of home viewing in a month or two.

*Now playing at AMC Thoroughbred 20*.

***Love in Kilnerry*** Elderly citizens of an idyllic town work themselves into a frenzy when the EPA tells them a mandated chemical enhancement to their water may superpower their libidos. Reviews are sparse, but whether it's a sly jab at Big Government oversight or another cutesy indie with a ribald side, it’s enough of a gamble to avoid paying full ticket prices for those who don’t subscribe to Regal Unlimited. Should be streaming in a matter of weeks.

*Now playing at Regal Green Hills 16 and Regal Hollywood 27.*

#### IN MEMORIAM

***Grease*** Honor Olivia Newton-John at her career best by seeing this pop-culture staple on the big screen.

*Now playing at AMC Thoroughbred 20*.
