‘Street Fighter’ Scoring $31M at Box Office as ‘You Can See Everything’ Rises and ‘Whalefall’ Sinks - The Hollywood Reporter

Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin star in Whalefall, an ambitious survival thriller with a wild premise that struggles to sustain its nearly two-hour runtime. The post Whalefall Review: A wild premise that struggles to stay afloat but has powerful moments appeared first on JoBlo .

If ever there were a movie to see without any knowledge whatsoever of what was to come, Whalefall would certainly prove to be one harrowing thrill ride. Now, I was quite aware of the premise going in. In fact, much of my high anticipation for this film was based entirely on what seemed like the level of effort going into making this impossible situation look as realistic as possible. How could one deal with being swallowed by a sperm whale? And what could a film do to maintain that level of tension for a reasonable runtime? The answers are more nuanced than some may expect, as Whalefall draws strength from its emotional core and strong performances from everyone involved, which support the amazing visuals of this thrilling adventure. That said, the various cinematic universes featuring Austin Abrams are having a rough go of it lately. Last month he was evading zombies by the skin of his teeth in Zach Cregger’s wildly enjoyable Resident Evil. Now, here he is as Jay Gardiner, an ordinary college kid whose grieving activity to help him deal with the death of his father (Josh Brolin) is upset by the craziest set of events that one could conceive of enduring.

With 23 goals overall through seven games this season, it’s no secret the Canadiens are seeking more offence that will lead to improved results. That captain Nick Suzuki has four goals is no surprise. Neither should anyone be shocked that Cole Caufield — who scored a team-leading 51 goals last season — has three, along with Zachary Bolduc, who is historically a fast starter.

A rested and determined Connor McDavid is a nightmare for opposing NHL teams and a joy to behold for Edmonton Oilers fans. His ascent up the NHL all-time scoring charts has been quick and lethal. His four-point night gave him 1,237 points, which ranks 45th all-time. He will pass Peter Stastney (1,239 in 977 games) later this week and will move ahead of Steven Stamkos (1263), Jean Ratelle (1267), Al MacInnis (1274), Alex Delvecchio (1281), Jarome Iginla (1300), Anze Kopitar (1316), Gilbert Perreault (1326), Pierre Turgeon (1327), Mike Gartner (1335), Denis Savard (1338) and Dave Andreychuk (1338) before the end of the year and rank 34th all-time. By the end of next season, he should be ranked among the top 20 scorers of all time, but he’ll only be at 960 games (maximum) by then. Every player in the top 20, except Mario Lemieux, played at least 1279 games. Some might get bored hearing about McDavid’s accolades, but you shouldn’t. You are witnessing an incredibly gifted player who could surpass 2,200 points. Yes, 2,200. For me, 2,000 is a lock, unless some freak injury occurs, and McDavid looks the best he ever has early on this season.
