Looking for a good movie this weekend? Here are the latest releases, trailers and reviews from USA TODAY.
Doctor Strange
A kaleidoscope of weirdness and innovative visual effects successfully introduce the newest Marvel superhero in this brilliantly bizarre tale. Benedict Cumberbatch plays Stephen Strange with enchanting spirit and a clever wit, giving comic-book movies another goateed icon who can hang alongside Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark. There is an overwhelming amount of information to absorb in terms of dimensions and mythology, but the spectacle will nevertheless leave you spellbound. (*** out of four stars)
Trolls
The animated fairy tale/jukebox musical is populated by a gaggle of crazy-haired folks who are all about singing and dancing, hold insane raves in the forest and scream “YOLO!” at the top of their lungs. Like a roll of Smarties come to life, there’s more sugar and style to Trolls than substance — with the exception of a “Find your own happiness” theme — but outstanding original tunes by stars Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake will keep you smiling. (*** out of four stars)
Writer/director Jeff Nichols takes moviegoers back to the 1950s and '60s for Richard and Mildred Loving’s true-life love story, which resulted in the 1967 Supreme Court ruling that nixed laws prohibiting interracial marriage. While a no-frills, almost sedate affair, the emotional drama finds its real power in two award-ready lead performances from Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton . (*** out of four)
