Earlier this year, the big-screen adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved children’s novel A Wrinkle in Time disappointed both critics and fans. The film was lackluster enough to cast doubts upon the next highly anticipated children’s book adaptation, John Bellairs’ The House with a Clock in Its Walls. Well, we can all rest easy. The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a much better movie.
‘Destination Wedding’ Says What Many Of Us Are Thinking
Fans of Keanu Reeves (John Wick) and Winona Ryder (Black Swan, Experimenter) must have been saying a prayer each night, asking for a reunion of the decades-long offscreen friends who haven’t been seen together on screen since The Private Lives of Pippa Lee in 2009. Before that, they starred together in A Scanner Darkly and, quite possibly their most famous pairing, in Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (way back in 1992). Fans prayers have been answered since Reeves and Ryder reunite in Destination Wedding, a romcom where they each represent very dysfunctional yet oh-so-relatable people who find themselves stuck with one another simply because neither wants to be at a destination wedding. And honestly, neither should have gone, but that’s obvious from the first act. It’s what happens after that matters.
