With Noah Centineo, Laura Marano, Odiseas Georgiadis, Camila Mendes. Filmmaker Miranda July and star Evan Rachel Wood explain how it happens.

In a rapid-fire montage, he becomes a salsa dancer, an art history major, a jerk, a prep. While her hyper-protective parents (Leonardo Sbaraglia and Inés Estévez) have sacrificed everything to clear their daughter’s name, they’re fighting a losing battle with public opinion as the tabloids have continued to weigh in on her status as either victim of circumstance or manipulative murderess. But The Perfect Date is never quite specific enough about its characters to make the story sing.

Endorsement: The Times endorses Hoffman, Anderson, Henderson and Han for LACCD. ), switches us into Wang’s story and POV: his workplace accident, befriending of Bangladeshi co-worker Ajit (Ishtiaque Zico) and the immigrant laborers’ quasi-captive state under their shady bosses that may — or may not — have led to both men to vanish. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times. DC’s Black Label imprint has provided us with some mature content for some of their most iconic characters. I enjoyed the back and forth between Brooks and Celia, with the dialogue emphasizing their matching personalities.
The Perfect Date doesn’t go any deeper than its advertised surface, but for a Friday night Netflix and chill, it might make you feel cozy. It’s fine. Spike Lee brings “David Byrne’s American Utopia” to the screen with all of its joy and energy intact.
A delightful romantic fun that's ideal for lovers of the genre.
Atlanta police make arrest in shooting death of actor Thomas Jefferson Byrd. Edward James Olmos’ environmental legal thriller “The Devil Has a Name” pits a San Joaquin Valley almond farmer against an evil energy corporation.
The script...is overwritten and forces its heavy-handed quirkiness on audiences through far-fetched scenarios that make no real attempt to feel like something logical characters would actually do.
