| | | | | This week's most popular movies seem to have a theme: monsters (mostly the adorable kind). Out of all the animated friends we are introduced to throughout the movie IF, we spend the most time with two of them: Blossom (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), a cartoony butterfly lady, and Blue (Steve Carell), a big yet adorable purple furry monster. Netflix's new drama Eric (starring Benedict Cumberbatch, who says dressing as 7-foot-tall monster and running down the streets of NYC is “one of the most ludicrous things” he’s done) is full of monsters hiding in plain sight, and then there is Ron Howard's documentary Jim Henson Idea Man, about the genius puppeteer who gave us so many iconic Muppets and more over the years. | See the full list! |
