It looks like Netflix has a couple of up-and-coming actresses joining Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on their “RIP” cast list.

PARK CITY – Movies that stick with you long after you watch them are nothing new. There are literally thousands of examples in the history of cinema. It’s one reason people are compelled to return to a movie theater again and again. But we’re not sure we can remember the last film centered on a father and his daughters that resonates as much as Alessandra Lacorazza Samudio’s “In The Summers.” Perhaps the thin air of the mountains of Utah is distracting us because even with its minor flaws, this is a Sundance Film Festival premiere that’s worth your attention.

There is a suggested line to when a superhero movie relies too much on the fleeting high of fan service and special effects. Andy Muschietti’s “The Flash” blitzes past that line and then proceeds to run out of ideas.

If you’ve been paying attention to all the online chatter around Warner Bros.’ “The Flash,” you know there have been a lot of changes to the film, and it’s been an evolving movie as the DCEU has tried to evolve and figure itself out in the last two years. Because as you know, “The Flash” started production when the DCEU was in full swing—replete with cameos like Henry Cavill’s Superman—but the film is now under the aegis of James Gunn’s DC Studios, and it’s been reported that Cavill’s cameo was nixed and some of the other connective tissue to the past has been purportedly scrapped.
