We All Got The Beach Boys Wrong—This Film Gets Them RightDisney+Perhaps no major band has ever been hounded by such a highly prescriptive sense of expectation as the Beach Boys. For millions of listeners, they were a group whose primary function—and job—was to deliver catchy hits of surf and sun, cool cars, and trips to the movies with your “steady.” Because that’s what they had done so well from their very first recordings.The music within the grooves of those early records enveloped the listener in a gold and blue world of warmth, water, wakefulness, the possibility of the new day. The Beach Boys’ music spoke—sang—to joy, with songs that functioned as an open invitation to lend one’s own voice to them, never mind that they featured the harmonies of the gods. You simply felt good listening to the Beach Boys.Then there are those in the know, who realized somewhere along the Beach Boys’ journey that this was music as adventurous as a dream. That idea of the oneiric state—and all the wonder to be sourced therein—is the key theme of directors Frank Marshall and Thom Zimny’s two-hour-long Disney+ documentary, The Beach Boys. It arises again and again, as if these Beach Boys were purveyors of the kind of clarity that originates with mystery, rather than singsong simplicity.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Counterpoint: ‘Furiosa’ Is an Underwhelming Retread of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures“Do you have it in you to make it epic?” bellows Dementus (Chris Hemsworth), big-bearded warlord and would-be ruler of the wasteland, in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Writer/director George Miller sure does, crafting his prequel to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road as an even grander vision of post-apocalyptic survival and warfare, complete with gnarly set pieces that roar and rumble with unbridled ferocity. In terms of look, scope, and attitude, this eagerly anticipated follow-up ably matches its predecessor, thereby reconfirming its maker’s status as film’s preeminent virtuoso of V8 chaos and madness, and reestablishing the franchise as Hollywood’s most deliriously deranged.Yet despite its numerous virtues, Furiosa, which hits theaters May 24, is a somewhat underwhelming beast, and that has less to do with execution than concept. Co-scripted by Nico Lathouris, the latest installment in Miller’s long-running saga is the first to go out of its way to not reimagine its material in some novel fashion. From the hyperactive indie grunge of Mad Max to the rugged widescreen splendor of The Road Warrior, the daffy Spielbergian extravagance of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, and the maniacal speed-freak insanity of Mad Max: Fury Road: The writer/director has treated his series as a venue for startling creative experimentation. By doing so, he’s kept it not only fresh, but vital. With Furiosa, however, he chooses to follow the playbook he penned less than a decade ago. Consequently, the results are—for better and worse—only as epic as you’d expect.Furiosa strives for majesty from its biblical opening scene of a young Furiosa (Alyla Browne) picking an apple from a tree, at which point she immediately spies biker-gang intruders in her lush Eden home. Despite exhibiting considerable feistiness, the girl is snatched, instigating a pursuit to reclaim her by her mother (Charlee Fraser), who’s a deft rider and even handier with a sniper rifle. Nonetheless, Furiosa soon winds up the captive of Dementus, a chieftain who wears a white translucent robe that doubles as a cape, and who gives her a teddy bear that once belonged to his children. As vigorously embodied by Hemsworth, the wild Dementus lives up to his name, although his motives—to conquer the wasteland by whatever vicious and underhanded means necessary—are rather mundane, and he pales in comparison to the unforgettably monstrous Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme), with whom he quickly finds himself at odds.Read more at The Daily Beast.

The Chain-Smoking, Jewish Grandma Who Ruled ’70s NYC PornGreenwhich EntertainmentSurvival often requires boldness, and no one proved that more than Chelly Wilson, a Sephardic Jewish Greek grandmother who became the empress of Times Square pornography during the 1970s. Queen of the Deuce is an affectionate portrait of Chelly as a one-of-a-kind trailblazer who lived life to the fullest, and always on her own iconoclastic terms, all while also providing a vivid snapshot of New York City during its daring and dangerous pre-sanitized era.Directed by Valerie Kontakos with warmth and humor, it’s a documentary that celebrates its subject and the metropolis she loved—and which loved her back in kind—with the very sort of warts-and-all acceptance that Chelly herself showed to everyone in her orbit.A non-fiction biography about “the most un-grandma person that anyone could have,” Queen of the Deuce (in theaters and on Apple TV and Amazon May 24) opens with anecdotes from Chelly’s grandchildren Dina Pomeranz and David Bourla, who have fond if bewildered memories of visiting her as a child at her NYC apartment.Read more at The Daily Beast.

‘The Fall Guy’: The Best Movie of the Spring Flopped and It’s Your FaultPhoto Illustration by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Universal PicturesConsidering that one of my greatest joys in life is to smugly shame people, this should be a joyous moment. And yet… I feel so sad. Exasperated. You know that phrase, “I’m not mad, just disappointed?” The bozo who came up with that clearly had made lots of people angry and was trying to make himself feel better about it. No, I want all of you to feel bad because, frankly, you deserve it.Earlier this week, the spectacular Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt action rom-com The Fall Guy was made available for rent and purchase on digital platforms. On the one hand, yay: People will have easier access to what, in my mind, is the best movie of the spring. (Sorry to Challengers! No offense, I Saw the TV Glow!) On the other hand: The should-be blockbuster is available to rent so wildly soon after its release date because not enough people saw it in theaters—and that will have ramifications that reverberate throughout the industry and, more importantly, my life and its happiness.Now that I’ve evolved into my final form as a finger-wagging dad-type, I might as well keep going with the tired phrases: Actions have consequences, people. This is why we can’t have nice things.Read more at The Daily Beast.
