“Bob Marley: One Love” is both entertaining and disappointing at the same time. The late reggae icon’s music propels what is otherwise a very bland reenactment of segments of his life. You can’t blame Kingsley Ben Adir who is fine in the title role and the soundtrack is engaging, but the movie’s awkward structure prevents “Bob Marely: One Love” from gaining any potential dramatic momentum.
One thing about the new Marvel superhero opus “Madame Web” is “You’ve seen it all before.” Dakota Johnson is passable in the origin story of a woman with the ability to see short spans into the future. She and some innocent teens are hunted by a power-hungry villain, played by Tahar Rahim, who’s horribly miscast. I see the future of “Madame Web” and it’s going nowhere.
Don’t see the lush French historical romance “The Taste of Things” on an empty stomach. The first 20 minutes consists of the loving preparation of mouth-watering gourmet meals. Juliette Binoche stars in the romantic tale of a cook and the renowned chef she works for, set in the late 1800s. “The Taste of Things” is sophisticated and tasty.
As Whitney Houston once sang, “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.” That seems to be the sentiment behind Jennifer Lopez’s phantasmagorical mini-movie musical, “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story,” now on Amazon Prime. It’s a self-produced and financed vanity project, filled with celebrity cameos, that serves to promote the singer/songwriter/dancer’s latest album. It’s an imaginative series of music videos strung together into the loose-fitting story of a hopeless romantic constantly in search of love. It’s one odd duck of a movie, but an engaging one.
