Review of Love Lies Bleeding and other movies from DC Film Girl

40S. THANKS, DALENCIA. TIME NOW FOR A LOOK AT WHAT’S STREAMING IN THEATERS THIS WEEKEND. OUR FILM CRITIC, LAUREN VENEZIANI IS JOINING US LIVE. LAUREN, WE LOVE DAMSEL. ALL OF US DID. IT’S SO GOOD, RIGHT? I THOUGHT THAT WAS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE ROLE FOR MILLIE. I THOUGHT THE DRAGON LOOKED AMAZING AND I KNOW IT’S STILL DOING REALLY WELL ON NETFLIX, SO DEFINITELY CHECK THAT FILM OUT ON NETFLIX IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET. YEAH, I THINK THAT JANINE DESCRIBED IT BEST. IT WAS A CROSS BETWEEN TOMB RAIDER AND BRAVE AND IT REALLY DELIVERED ON ALL LEVELS. IT IS, AND I LIKE IT. IT’S IT’S ABOUT A STORY OF LIKE SURVIVAL AND REVENGE AND BRAVERY. SO I DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY GET THAT COMPARISON IN, HEY, ONE OF THE MOVIES THAT’S REALLY MAKING SOME HEADLINES RIGHT NOW IS LOVE LIES BLEEDING. YOU DID AN INTERVIEW. TELL US ABOUT IT. YES, LOVE LIES BLEEDING STARRING KRISTEN STEWART AND KATIE O’BRIEN, THIS IS THE NEWEST FILM FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIE STUDIOS, A24 FOUR. AND IT’S A SEXY ROMANCE SUSPENSE STORY ABOUT A GYM MANAGER NAMED LOU WHO FALLS FOR A BODYBUILDER NAMED JACKIE AS SHE’S PASSING THROUGH TOWN, HEADING TO VEGAS FOR A COMPETITION. AND YES, I SPOKE WITH STARS KRISTEN STEWART, KATIE O’BRIEN AND WRITER DIRECTOR ROSE GLASS FOR THE FILM, AND I SPECIFICALLY WANTED TO ASK KRISTEN AND KATIE ABOUT DEVELOPING THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEIR TWO CHARACTERS. HERE’S A LITTLE CLIP OF THAT INTERVIEW FOR LOVE LIES BLEEDING. HOWEVER, FOR NOW, OKAY. CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS FILM. I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT SINCE I’VE SEEN IT, AND I REALLY LOVE THE SHOT OF LOU SEEING JACKIE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE GYM. IT’S KIND OF LIKE A LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT FEELING. SO I’M CURIOUS. KRISTEN AND KATIE, WHEN DID THE TWO OF YOU FIRST MEET AND THEN WHAT DID THE TWO OF YOU DO TO DEVELOP THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN LOU AND JACKIE PRIOR TO FILMING AND WHILE ON SET, WE MET AT A GYM? UH, NO. YEAH. IT WAS LIKE AT THE CHEMISTRY READ AND I TOLD YOU THAT MY CAR SMELLED BAD BECAUSE MY CAT PEED IN IT. IT WAS REALLY HOT. AND IT WAS LIKE, RIGHT AWAY I WAS LIKE, THIS IS IT. YEAH. IT’S LIKE LIKE, THAT’S WHAT GETS ME. YEAH, YEAH. I WAS REALLY TURNED ON BY THAT. UM, UH, I DON’T KNOW. IT’S LOU AND JACKIE MEET, AND IT’S KIND OF FIREWORKS IMMEDIATELY, WHICH IS FUN BECAUSE THE MOVIE DOESN’T, LIKE, TRY SO HARD ABOUT DOESN’T TRY SO HARD TO SHOVE BACKSTORY OR LIKE REASONS. IT’S LIKE THOSE TWO BODIES ARE FIREWORKS. THAT’S IT. LIKE THEY IT’S IT’S ALCHEMICAL, FOR SURE. AND SO WE DIDN’T REALLY NEED TO LIKE, TALK ABOUT IT. IT JUST SORT OF HAPPENED. IT HAPPENED. NO, IT WAS REALLY NATURAL. AND I LOVED WATCHING THE PROGRESSION OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP OVER TIME. I LOVE KRISTEN STEWART SO MUCH. I THINK SHE’S A GREAT ACTRESS AND YOU’VE TRULY NEVER SEEN HER IN A ROLE LIKE THIS BEFORE. FOR ED HARRIS, DAVE FRANCO, JENA MALONE ALSO STARRED IN THE FILM, AND IT TRULY IS VERY JAW DROPPING AND WILD, AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT’S COMING. LIKE I SAID, IT’S A DEFINITELY A VERY UNIQUE TAKE ON THE REVENGE STORY. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS GORGEOUS, THE STORE, THE SCORE IS VERY HAUNTING AND INCREDIBLE, AND I LOVED IT. I’LL DEFINITELY BE SEEING IT IN THEATERS AGAIN, AND I’M GIVING LOVE LIES BLEEDING A FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS. DEFINITELY VERY UNIQUE AND INTERESTING. YEAH, SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT’S REALLY SORT OF HER BEST WORK, HONESTLY, TO TO DATE. YEAH, SHE HONESTLY IS INCREDIBLE IN IT AND SHE IS THE LEAD. KATIE IS AS WELL. BUT I WOULD SAY IT’S DEFINITELY KRISTEN IN MOST OF THE SCENES. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE IRISH WISH NEXT. YES. JUST IN TIME FOR SAINT PATRICK’S DAY IRISH WISHES ON NETFLIX NOW STARRING LINDSAY LOHAN, AYESHA CURRY AND ED SPELEERS. AND I SPOKE TO THE THREE OF THEM WHEN I WAS IN NEW YORK CITY, AND THIS WAS A DREAM INTERVIEW FOR ME TO TALK TO THE LINDSAY LOHAN ABOUT HER CAREER AND THIS NEW ROMANCE FILM SHE’S IN, WHICH IS SUPER SWEET. SET IN IRELAND. HERE’S A CLIP OF THOSE INTERVIEWS FOR IRISH WISH. LINDSAY AND AYESHA, NICE TO MEET YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS FILM. THANK YOU IRELAND ROMANCE YOU AND A STARRING ROLE. I’M HERE FOR IT. THANKS. YES, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT IN THE FILM. YOUR CHARACTER MADDIE, SHE’S AFRAID TO SPEAK HER FEELINGS BECAUSE OF OBVIOUSLY MAKES HER NERVOUS AND VERY VULNERABLE. WELL, YOU’VE BEEN IN THIS INDUSTRY FOR SO LONG, I’M WONDERING IF THERE WAS, LIKE, A TURNING POINT IN YOUR CAREER WHERE YOU BECAME MORE COMFORTABLE AND OPEN IN REGARDS TO PROJECTS AND EVERYTHING? I THINK I’VE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT, WHICH SCARES PEOPLE. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I THINK BECAUSE I THINK IT’S I’VE ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, MY MOM RAISED ME TO ME TO ALWAYS HAVE MY VOICE AND NOT BE AFRAID TO USE IT. AND AND NO MORE THAN YES. AND I THINK THAT’S IMPORTANT. SO I RELATED TO MADDIE IN THAT WAY. UM, BUT I THINK DEFINITELY NOW AFTER BECOMING A MOM, I FEEL I HAVE THAT OTHER BURST OF CONFIDENCE AS WELL. I LOVE THAT CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. THAT’S AMAZING CHARACTER. HEATHER IS EVERYONE’S BEST FRIEND. I LOVE SHE’S TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO TOGETHER FOR GIRLS NIGHTS. WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE GIRLS NIGHT? SOMETHING INSIDE OF THE HOUSE? YES. I, I AM NOT AN OUTSIDE GIRL. I LOVE TO LIKE, BE AT HOME RELAXING PJS, SOME WINE, ALL THE CHEESE. LIKE JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE. FACE MASK, WINE, CHEESE. YEAH. ARE YOU THE SAME? ARE YOU MORE INSIDE? I’M A HOMEBODY. HOMEBODY? YEAH, YEAH. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR GIRLS NIGHTS? HOME. CHILL. MOVIES SOMETIMES PUT MUSIC. I MEAN, IT DEPENDS. WE DID A LOT OF THAT TOGETHER. I MEAN, WE DO. YEAH. AND I’M STILL WAITING FOR THE FREAKY FRIDAY REVIVAL WITH YOU AND JAMIE. WE’RE WORKING ON IT. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE WORKING ON IT. WE TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT I’M HERE FOR IT WHEN YOU DECIDE TO DO IT. OKAY? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, LADIES SO MUCH. AND CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYTHING. WHAT DID YOU AND LINDSAY DO TO DEVELOP THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN YOUR CHARACTERS PRIOR TO FILMING AND ON SET? WE JUST GOT ON EVEN FROM DAY ONE IN REHEARSALS, THAT THERE WAS JUST A IT WAS A RAPPORT. IT WAS A CAMARADERIE THAT STRUCK UP VERY QUICKLY. YEAH, I THINK IT COMES FOR ME. IT COMES ABOUT FROM FROM WORKING WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU CAN YOU CAN TRUST OR YOU OR YOU ALSO RECOGNIZE WHICH I DID WITH LINDSAY, THAT SOMEONE WHO IS VERY DEDICATED TO WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO DO, VERY, UH, UH, SORT OF ENTHUSED ABOUT THE WORK, VERY SORT OF, YOU KNOW, VERY, VERY TAKES IT ALL VERY PASSIONATELY. LINDSAY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN SWEETER AND I’M SO HAPPY FOR HER, FOR ALL HER SUCCESS AND NEW MOTHERHOOD. AND IN THE FILM, LINDSAY PLAYS A WRITER AND SECRETLY HAS A MAJOR CRUSH ON HER BIGGEST CLIENT AND AUTHOR, WHO IS GETTING MARRIED IN IRELAND. SO WHILE IN IRELAND FOR THE WEDDING, SHE MAKES A WISH THAT SHE’S MARRYING HIM INSTEAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WAKES UP. FINDING HER WISH COMING TRUE. THE SETTING IN IRELAND IS GORGEOUS, LINDSAY LOOKS STUNNING AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN INCREDIBLE AS A LEAD ACTRESS AND I LOVE THAT SHE GETS TO WORK WITH HER REAL LIFE BEST FRIEND AYESHA CURRY IN THE FILM. OF COURSE, AYESHA IS STEPH CURRY’S WIFE. SHE’S AN INCREDIBLE ACTRESS AS WELL, BUT THIS IS A PERFECT WATCH FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND I LOVE A ROMANTIC COMEDY AND THIS ONE IS VERY, VERY SWEET. JANE SEYMOUR ALSO STARS IN THE FILM. I’M GIVING IRISH WISH A FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS. PERFECT FOR SAINT PATRICK’S DAY, JEN. IT SURE IS. AND I LOVE JANE SEYMOUR. THAT WOMAN DOES NOT AGE, THAT IS FOR SURE. SHE DOESN’T. SHE PLAYS LINDSAY’S MOM IN THE FILM. YEAH, PERFECT ROLE FOR HER. LOOK, I’M EXCITED ABOUT ARTHUR THE KING, AND IT’S A DOG MOVIE. IT IS. AND LET ME JUST PREFACE THIS REVIEW FOR YOU, JEN, BY SAYING THAT THIS IS A POSITIVE STORY WHERE THE DOG LIVES AND I’M NOT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY BECAUSE IT’S ACTUALLY IN THE MARKETING. I THINK IT’S FUNNY THAT LIONSGATES ACTUALLY PLAYING THAT UP BECAUSE THEY KNOW. PEOPLE KNOW, YOU KNOW, HOW UPSET WE GET WHEN WHEN AN ANIMAL IS HURT OR DIES IN THE FILM. BUT THIS IS BASED ON THE AMAZING TRUE STORY MARK WAHLBERG PLAYS AN ADVENTURE RACER, AND WHILE ON A RACE IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, HE AND HIS TEAM MEET A STRAY DOG NAMED ARTHUR, WHO LITERALLY FOLLOWS THEM. THE ENTIRE RACE AND BECOMES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THEIR TEAM. HE ENDS UP ADOPTING ARTHUR AND BRINGING HIM HOME, AND I DEFINITELY MAY HAVE SHED A TEAR OR TWO DURING THIS FILM BECAUSE DOGS ARE MY SWEET SPOT, AND I ACTUALLY HAD NO IDEA WHAT ADVENTURE RACING WAS. I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THAT THIS WAS A REAL SPORT WHERE PEOPLE ARE RUNNING AND BIKING AND ZIP LINING AND DOING THIS FIVE MILE TREK ACROSS YOU KNOW, A PARTICULAR COUNTRY HERE. IT’S THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. AND IF YOU LOVE DOGS, IF YOU LOVE MARK WAHLBERG, YOU’RE DEFINITELY IN FOR A TREAT. IT’S A VERY SWEET STORY. AND OF COURSE, I LOVE SEEING THE REAL LIFE PICTURES OF ARTHUR THE DOG IN THE MOVIE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE THE REAL ARTHUR, AND HE REALLY IS AN AMAZING DOG WITH WHAT HE DID. I’M GIVING ARTHUR THE KING A THREE AND A HALF OUT OF FIVE STARS. IT FROM GETTING FIVE STARS. WHAT ABOUT IT? JUST DOESN’T PUSH IT OVER THE EDGE. I JUST THINK IT’S A LITTLE BIT LIKE TOO LONG, BUT LIKE, I THINK THAT I THINK LIKE I MEAN, YES, LIKE IT’S VERY, VERY CHEESY AND CORNY AT TIMES. UM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE DIALOG, BUT I JUST THINK THAT IT’S, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, LIKE A FIVE STARS IS LIKE AN OPPENHEIMER OR A BARBIE, LIKE, I’M VERY, VERY CRITICAL WHEN IT COMES TO A PERFECT REVIEW. BUT THIS IS THIS IS DEFINITELY A GREAT WATCH FOR IN THEATERS. THIS WEEKEND. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIGHT AND FUN. AND I MEAN HONESTLY, TRUE STORIES ARE ALWAYS HARD TO DO. BUT THIS ONE DOES A VERY SOLID JOB AND I LOVE A DOG STORY. HONESTLY, ABSOLUTELY. AND THIS IS A GREAT WEEKEND FOR IT. OKAY. YOU KNOW, I’M EXCITED FOR IMMACULATE TO COME OUT NEXT WEEK. AND THAT’S WHAT SYDNEY SWEENEY HORROR MOVIE. YES. I’M SO EXCITED FOR IMMACULATE. THAT’S FROM THE STUDIO NEON. AND I’LL DEFINITELY BE SEEING THAT. I LOVE A GOOD HORROR FILM. I’VE BEEN HEARING REALLY GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT TOO. ALSO, ROADHOUSE WITH JAKE GYLLENHAAL IS GOING TO BE ON AMAZON NEXT WEEK. ON THURSDAY, AND THAT’S BEEN GETTING AMAZING REVIEWS. I WHAT I’M REALLY EXCITED FOR JEN IS THE FALL GUY WITH EMILY BLUNT AND RYAN GOSLING THAT COMES OUT AT THE IT CAME. IT PREMIERED AT SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST IN AUSTIN, TEXAS. IT’S GETTING INCREDIBLE REVIEWS. THAT COMES OUT THE FIRST WEEKEND IN MAY. THAT’S PROBABLY MY MOST LIKE, NEXT ANTICIPATED FILM, ALONG WITH THE IDEA OF YOU, THE ROMANCE WITH ANNE HATHAWAY AS WELL, BECAUSE I READ THE BOOK AND I’M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. SO LOTS OF INCREDIBLE FILMS COMING OUT. COMING OUT IS GONNA BE INTERESTING TO SEE THE FALL GUY, TOO, BECAUSE OF COURSE I’M A CHILD OF THE 80S AND I REMEMBER THE OLD, YOU KNOW, FALL GUY WITH HEATHER LOCKLEAR AND YEAH, YEAH, LEE MAJORS.
