Jake Gyllenhaal’s most thrilling role in recent years sees him play himself in All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) while being a career criminal executing a bank heist. Ambulance blends quiet suspense with Michael Bay-levels of action, including high-speed chases involving helicopters and ambulances.
Thirty years after their popular television show ended, chipmunks Chip and Dale live very different lives. When a cast member from the original series mysteriously disappears, the pair must reunite to save their friend.
The two-part documentary tracks Carlin’s rise to fame and opens an intimate window into Carlin’s personal life, including his childhood in New York City, his long struggle with drugs that took its toll on his health, his brushes with the law, his loving relationship with Brenda and his second marriage to Sally Wade.
In his final comedy special, released posthumously, Norm ponders casinos, cannibalism, living wills and why you have to be ready for whatever life throws your way.
Eli Winter’s new album is self-titled, yet it finds his most collaborative. Alongside his collaborator Cameron Knowler, as well as an ace supporting cast. Post-rock throughout the album, a fitting soundtrack for watching dusk’s shadows stretch across desert sands, or the boughs of swaying trees jostling in the wind.
