Movies to see this week: 'Batman Forever,' 'Ghost Dog,' 'Mermaids'
It's hot enough that movie theater air conditioning is again appealing, if the greatness of Sinners or the below repertory screenings isn't enough. Here's what you can catch at Twin Cities area theaters this week. Thursday, May 15, at Emagine Willow Creek The third entry in a run of four '90s-ish Batman movies, Batman Forever has gotten a lot of flak for its absurdity. Decades later, it deserves a little love. It was deeply over-the-top, leaning into its comic book source material in ways that the Tim Burton-directed movies didn't. The late Val Kilmer's Batman was not a gritty version of the hero. Instead, he plays Bruce Wayne as the straight man to the hammy antics of Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face and Jim Carrey's Riddler. Enjoy it for the camp, delightful sets, and producing one of Hollywood's best behind-the-scenes stories. 9900 Shelard Pkwy., Plymouth ($11.60) Friday, May 16–Sunday, May 18, at The Trylon Cinema One of the delights — I'd argue there are many — of watching Jim Jarmusch movies is that they're usually recognizable as one of his despite his tendency to jump between genres. They're uniformly packed with patient cinematography, idiosyncratic dialogue, and a reverence for film history, whether he's making a western (Dead Man), zombie movie (The Dead Don't Die), vampire movie (Only Lovers Left Alive), or following an assassin (The Limits of Control). Ghost Dog is one of his most successful in that regard. It stars Forest Whitaker as an assassin who thinks of himself as a modern samurai, reading from the Hagakure and deeming himself a retainer of his mod employer. It mashes up conventions of mob and samurai movies. Though, like any of Jarmusch's films, it's more interested in small moments than big action sequences. 2820 E 33rd St., Minneapolis ($8) Friday, May 16—Thursday, May 22, at The Main Cinema This one might not quite fit into how we're typically listing repertory fare, but we're rolling with it since Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted has played in town during Sound Unseen and MSPIFF, where it won an audience award. The week-long run at The Main Cinema includes an MN Made screening on May 15 that will have local directors Isaac Gale and Ryan Olson in attendance. (You may recognize their names as MN-based musicians in bands such as Marijuana Death Squads and Poliça.) The documentary focuses on the titular musician, often described as a cult R&B musician since the '70s, and his tumultuous history, unique home with Moogstar and Guitar Shorty, and, of course, his musical legacy. 115 SE Main St., Minneapolis ($13) Monday, May 19, at Alamo Drafthouse Mermaids is a tender family drama that gets into the subtleties of family dynamics. There's no saccharine finale, but the complex, messy reality of family. Cher stars as Mrs. Flax, a mother of two who moves from city to city, dragging her kids, played by Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci, through her ordeals and discarding their struggles in favor of her own. Bob Hoskins plays Cher's flawed and charming suitor. 9060 Hudson Rd., Woodbury ($15.18) Times and theaters vary (see below) It's a big week for fans of L. Frank Baum's Oz. The Wizard of Oz (1939) is playing at a few Emagine theaters. Emagine White Bear is also bringing Wicked (2024) back to the big screen. (It's currently streaming on Peacock, too.) Then, The Wiz (1978) is playing on Sunday and Tuesday at AMC's Rosedale and Southdale outposts, as well as Emagine Eagan, Oakdale Cinema, and West End movies screening this week: May 14: The Wizard of Oz (1939) at Emagine Eagan, Emagine Lakeville, and Emagine White Bear (Wicked is also playing) May 14: Fight Club (1999) at The Parkway Theater May 14: Before Sunrise (1995) at Edina Mann Theatres May 14: Kingdom of Heaven (2005) director's cut at AMC Eden Prairie, AMC Rosedale, AMC Southdale, Emagine Eagan, and Oakdale Cinema May 14: We Are Fugazi From Washington D.C.

Movies to see this week: 'American Fiction,' 'Say Anything,' Fritz Lang
There's a lot of thematic weight in theaters this week. Even as Oscar hopefuls take up screens, Twin Cities theaters are showcasing anxious film noirs and a couple of films from a director working in exile after rebuffing the Nazi regime. Romantic comedies are arriving in anticipation of Valentine's Day, and there are plenty of films lined up as part of Black History Month celebrations. It's an embarrassment of riches, and movie lovers can reap the rewards. Here are the repertory films you'll find at Twin Cities movie theaters this week. Friday, Feb. 7–Sunday, Feb. 9 at The Trylon Cinema Paul Schrader's catalog is packed with movies that probably deserve another view. (Ok, maybe "dotted" is more appropriate than "packed.") His directorial debut, Blue Collar, released just two years after he wrote Taxi Driver, fits the bill. A trio of auto workers dealing with hard times — Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel, and Yaphet Kotto — break into their union's safe and find something more than they bargained for. It's a thriller that will surprise anyone who hasn't seen Pryor in anything but comedies. 2820 E 33rd St., Minneapolis ($8) Thursday, Feb. 6 at The Heights Theater This one is screening as part of the 16th Film Noir Festival, which, this year, is highlighting noirs where cars and getaways play a big role. Henry Fonda stars as Eddie, a recently released convict who is looking to go straight and marry the woman of his dreams, the straight-laced Joan (Sylvia Sidney). However, it turns out that going straight is a lot harder than he thought, which is extra hard for his soon-to-be wife. There are more than a couple parallels with Bonnie and Clyde here (that one is playing Feb. 6 and 9 at the Grandview Theatre). Though, arguably, this one is even more tragic. 3951 Central Ave. NE, Columbia Heights ($12-$12.75) Thursday, Feb. 6 at Capri Theater The Oscar-nominated debut feature film from Cord Jefferson is a winding, sometimes weird, frequently funny movie starring Jeffrey Wright as a struggling novelist who can't stomach the way businesses profit from entertainment that traffics in Black stereotypes. To show what he's talking about, he writes a book that does just that, and it winds up being a hit, thrusting him into the heart of the hypocrisy he claims to detest. 2027 W Broadway, Minneapolis ($7; free for northside residents) Sunday, Feb. 9–Tuesday, Feb. 11 at The Trylon Cinema Two Fritz Lang classics in one week? Luck us. In addition to You Only Live Once, the Trylon is bringing in the film about a man (Ray Milland) who is accused of assisting in his wife's suicide. When he's released, he gets caught up in a Nazi spy ring, an apt subject for Lang. The director was in exile at the time he made both of the films playing this week, having rejected an offer from Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler to take the helm of the Nazi's propaganda films. 2820 E 33rd St., Minneapolis ($8) Thursday, Feb. 6 at The Parkway Theater Valentine's Day won't arrive until next week, but the Parkway has an iconic, often parodied, romantic comedy ready to get things rolling. John Cusack and Ione Skye are star-crossed lovers kept apart by her possessive father, played by the great John Mahoney. But before you get to see Cusack don the trench coat and lift a boombox over his head, there will be a live set from Adam Bohanan. 4814 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis ($9/$12)Movies screening this week: Feb. 5–6: Hellraiser (1987) - Remastered at St. Michael Cinema, Emagine Willow Creek, Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, AMC Southdale, Champlin 14, AMC Eden Prairie Mall, and AMC Rosedale Feb. 5: Tape Freaks at The Trylon Cinema (sold out) Feb. 5 and 9: Nope (2022) at West End Cinema and Oakdale Cinema Feb. 5 and 9: Get Out (2017) at West End Cinema and Oakdale Cinema Feb. 5–6 and 9: Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2001) at Emagine Willow Creek, CMX Odyssey IMAX, Oakdale Cinema (Feb. 5 only), AMC Southdale, AMC Eden Prairie Mall, and AMC Rosedale Feb. 5: Gone With the Wind (1939) at Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 5: In the Mood for Love (2000) at Edina Theatre Feb. 5–6: The Flintstones (1994) at Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 5 and 8–10: Se7en (1995) at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 5–6, 7–8, 10, and 16: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) extended edition at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 6–7 and 9–11: Parasite (2019) at AMC Southdale, AMC Rosedale (not Feb. 6), and AMC Eden Prairie Mall (Feb. 11 only) Feb. 6: Eraserhead (1977) at Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 6 and 9: Bonnie and Clyde (1967) at Grandview Theatre Feb. 7: Scream It Off Screen at The Parkway Theater Feb. 7–9: If (2024) at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, Rosemount Cinema, Southbridge Crossing Cinema, and West End Cinema Feb. 7–13: The Cat in the Hat (2003) at Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 7–14: Black Panthers of WWII (2024) at The Trylon Cinema Feb. 8: Silents Synced: Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr. (1924) with the music of R.E.M. at Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 8: Twilight movie marathon at Oakdale Cinema, Parkwood Cinema, Rosemount Cinema, Southbridge Crossing Cinema, West End Cinema, and Bloomington 13 at MoA Feb. 8: The Golden Child (1986) at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 9: About Time (2013) at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 9: Anomalisa (2015) at Alamo Drafthouse Feb. 9: Mississippi Park Connection presents Wild & Scenic Film Festival: 'Wild Child' at The Main Cinema Feb. 9: Mississippi Park Connection presents Wild & Scenic Film Festival: 'Water Tales' at The Main Cinema Feb. 9: Mississippi Park Connection presents Discover Your River at The Main Cinema Feb. 9: Casablanca (1942) at Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 10: Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) at Emagine Willow Creek Feb. 10: B&B Mystery Movie at Bloomington 13 at MoA Feb. 10: Love & Basketball (2000) at Bloomington 13 at MoA
