“The Lost City” has plenty of chemistry between its leads, cheeky supporting cast and deft plot twists, even if it all runs out before the end.

A bunch of young adult filmmakers in 1979, seeing the lucrative advent of the home video porn market on the horizon, rent a ramshackle lodge to make their own porn opus, “The Farmer’s Daughters.” The problem is the lodge’s owners: a farmer and his wife.

At first glance, this film could be mistaken for an extended episode from “Boardwalk Empire” or a prequel to the “John Wick” franchise – with all the action unfolding in a Chicago tailor shop stuck in the crosshairs of a gang war.

The Legal Sea Food crab roll comes moist and heaped high in a New England-styled brioche hot dog bun, trumping the lobster roll and costing far less.

These looks at what’s on the big screen in the coming week include the latest pull at a “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and a putrid “Pursuit,” but also the devastating “Sundown,” delightfully weird “Strawberry Mansion” and feel-good “Dog.” The DocYard screens “Rock Bottom Riser” and there’s lots to look forward to at The Brattle and Somerville Theatre.

“Moonfall” is pretty much the antithesis to Adam McKay’s smug “Don’t Look Up,” in which the world has been alerted to our imminent demise and no one cares – or cares only for financial or status reasons. In this B-tier tear, there’s just instant mass hysteria and a stampede for the hills.

These looks at what’s on the big screen and streaming in the coming week include reviews for “Scream,” “The Whaler Boy” and “Shattered,” as well as the gems coming to The Brattle and Somerville Theatre, from some of the best of 2021 to the new “Days,” “About Endlessness,” “In the Earth” and “Censor.”

These looks at what’s on the big screen and streaming include “The World of Wong Kar Wai,” “Weird Wednesdays” and classics for New Year’s at The Brattle, as well as reviews of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Red Rocket,” “The Tender Bar,” “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” “Swan Song” and “The Unforgivable.”

This latest chapter for the third Spider-Man (Tom Holland) includes the villains and Spideys from earlier versions for a pretty well-woven mashup that never stops spinning.
