If you’re looking for a movie to go and see this Labour Day long weekend, Mr. Hollywood, Matt Demers, was on CTV Morning Live on Friday with his top picks. Caught Stealing (Rated R) “I loved this movie; I also really enjoyed Mr. Austin Butler. This is a crime caper by director Darren Aronofsky. You’re following this bartender who used to be a baseball player and he may have found himself in the midst of something he shouldn’t be a part of. There’s a cat in here that I really fell in love with. It’s really rare for me to praise a cat performer. Go watch this movie if you’re into these kinds of things,” Mr. Hollywood says. The film stars Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, and Bad Bunny. It is directed by Darren Aronofsky. The Toxic Avenger (Rated R) “This movie brings the gore. It’s what we call a ‘splatter film’, if you will. It is a superhero movie. Mr. Peter Dinklage taking on the role of the Toxic Avenger. A lot of shenanigans, a little silly, but a good time for adults,” says Mr. Hollywood. The film stars Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Page and Julia Davis. It is directed by Macon Blair. The Roses (Rated R) “You’ve got Benedict Cumberbatch, you’ve got Olivia Coleman and their marriage is not going so great. It was a perfect marriage until it wasn’t, and they to go war with each other. This is based on a novel. There was also a 1981 film, this is a remake, but lots of fun stuff and you’ve got some great cameos here, Andy Samberg. This movie goes there with some of the hijinks,” Mr. Hollywood says. The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Coleman, Andy Samberg and Kate McKinnon. It is directed by Jay Roach. Streaming This week is all about school time nostalgia. Mr. Hollywood’s “Top 5 Back-to-School Movies” list includes: Kindergarten Cop (1990) – Netflix School of Rock (2003) – Amazon Prime Napoleon Dynamite (2004) – Apple TV Mean Girls (2004) – Disney+ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) – Crave
