Now that everyone on the planet has seen "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" it's time to sample of of the new movies coming out. We've got quite a varied sample to tell you about. We start with "Flora & Son" starring Eve Hewson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and it follows Flora, a single mom who is at war with her son, Max. Trying to find a hobby for Max, she rescues a guitar from a dumpster and finds that one person's trash can be a family's salvation. Then there's "Dumb Money" which is based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (the video game store) into the world's hottest company.Then there's the hard-boiled detective story "Reptile" starring Benecio Del Toro, Justin Timberlake and Eric Bogosian. If you're a sci-fi fan there's "The Creator" which takes place against the backdrop of a war between humans and robots with artificial intelligence,as a former soldier finds the secret weapon, a robot in the form of a young child. But wait, there's more. We've got "Foe" which also takes place in the future and stars Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal as farmers whose quiet life is thrown into turmoil when an uninvited stranger shows up at their door with a startling proposal.Still not enough? How about "Cat Person" which is a razor-sharp exploration of the horrors of dating.And then there's "Fair Play" which tells what happens when an unexpected promotion at a cutthroat hedge fund pushes a young couple's relationship to the brink, threatening to unravel far more than their recent engagement. So there's all that PLUS we preview The Hamptons International Film Festival which always features films we'll be talking about for some time.
