| Kyle Buchanan Pop Culture Reporter | | Hey, movie fans! It's your faithful Carpetbagger. | | This week's wide releases include the charming superhero film "Shazam!," a new spin on Stephen King's horror story "Pet Sematary," and Sam Rockwell and Taraji P. Henson in "The Best of Enemies," the latest period film about racial reconciliation. | | In more limited release, you can check out the unusual sex-aboard-spaceships drama "High Life" from Claire Denis, as well as Critics' Picks that include Mike Leigh's historical drama "Peterloo," the restored King Hu film "The Fate of Lee Khan," the mysterious drama "Suburban Birds," and the documentary "Blowin' Up." | | But back to "Shazam!"... how superhero-saturated is our current moment? So much so that you'll be getting a different spin on superheroes every weekend this month! Next week brings the latest iteration of "Hellboy," while the following week, Gugu Mbatha-Raw is powered up in the indie "Fast Color." | | And then, in the final days of April, "Avengers: Endgame" touches down. The most unlikely thing about that Marvel spectacular is that it imagines a world where the superhero population has actually dwindled. In real life, that doesn't look to be happening anytime soon. | | |
