The story remains largely the same: demigod Perseus (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/sam-worthington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sam Worthington<\/strong><\/a>) must save the city of Argos from the monstrous Kraken, who is controlled by the underworld god, Hades (<strong>Ralph Fiennes<\/strong>). To defeat the Kraken, they must obtain the only thing that can stop the creature \u2014 the head of the Gorgon witch, Medusa (Natalia Vodianova). But how can you kill a woman who can turn any man to stone the instant you see her?<\/p>\n<p>Clash of the Titans lives up to its title; there are clashes aplenty, with titans, mortals and creatures all battling it out. The movie\u2019s cast is impressive, with <strong>Liam Neeson<\/strong> successfully embodying Zeus and Fiennes lending his Voldemort-like sliminess to Hades. The film successfully blends Greek myth with Bayhem-style action, which is more entertaining than it has any right to be.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbomax.com\/movies\/clash-of-the-titans\/044913a1-6e61-4437-80a9-cfa620f326b2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Clash of the Titans<\/em> is streaming on HBO Max.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Let Them All Talk\u2019 (2020)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Let Them All Talk Trailer #1 (2020) | Movieclips Trailers\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tlUNudYUmfk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Alice Hughes (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/meryl-streep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Meryl Streep<\/strong><\/a>) is a successful American novelist who is due to receive a prestigious award in England. Unable to travel by plane, she books passages aboard the <em>Queen Mary 2 <\/em>with her nephew, Tyler (<strong>Lucas Hedges<\/strong>), and two estranged friends, Roberta (<strong>Candice Bergen<\/strong>) and Susan (<strong>Dianne Wiest<\/strong>). Once on the ship, the foursome confront some harsh truths about their shared past, present and unlikely future. Alice realizes she\u2019s not as beloved as she thought she was, and Tyler suspects she\u2019s hiding a secret from all of them.<\/p>\n<p><em>Let Them All Talk<\/em> does just that, showcasing each of its four leads in dialogue-heavy scenes that prioritize introspection over action. The movie\u2019s not a bore, though, and that\u2019s because of the stellar acting from its cast. Streep is typically great, but it\u2019s Bergen and Wiest who steal the show as friends who have some justifiable grudges to settle with their more successful friend. The movie\u2019s ending includes a shocking plot development, but it\u2019s not cheap. Instead, <em>Let Them All Talk<\/em> concludes on a graceful note that elevates everything that came before it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbomax.com\/movies\/let-them-all-talk\/848e0f7b-8921-480e-8d9f-94f8df45c219\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Let Them All Talk<\/em> is streaming on HBO Max.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/3-underrated-hbo-max-movies-i-cant-wait-to-watch-this-weekend-september-26-28-25\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the end of the week, which means you probably have some free time to chill out.
