What’s new? Based on a true story, By Any Means takes us back to 1960s Mississippi.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays a young Black FBI agent investigating the murders of civil-rights leaders.
And the guy he’s forced to work with?
(By Any Means “We’ll be working together” clip)
A notorious Mafia hitman played by Mark Wahlberg.
So basically, the FBI decided this investigation needed… a mobster.

I need something a little less intense.

Dakota Fanning stars in The Sun Never Sets, where her relationship hits a rough patch just as her ex shows back up.
(The Sun Never Sets “Miss you, Miss you too” clip)
Beautiful Alaska, complicated relationships, and nobody making life easy on themselves.
Ahhhh… relationships.
But finally… Ka-chow.
(Cars “Ka-chow” clip)
The original Cars is racing back into theaters for its 20th anniversary.
And because Lightning McQueen is number 95, September 5th is even known as Lightning McQueen Day.
(Cars “My body” clip)
That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. From FBI investigations to complicated relationships in Alaska to a return trip down Route 66, there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
