Some Like It Hot (1959)

Amsterdam is a confusing movie with a meandering plot amidst a beautiful rendering of 1930s New York

These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.

"65" (2023) is the latest Dino flick to try and answer "what else can we do with dinosaurs?"
