Movie review: 'Together' drags despite Brie, Franco commitment
1 of 5 | Alison Brie and Dave Franco, seen at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, star in "Together." File Photo by Chris Chew/UPI | License Photo July 25 (UPI) -- Together, in theaters Friday, has a clever premise but dawdles its way to the good parts. Alison Brie and Dave Franco rise to the occasion by selling the horror, but the film takes too long getting to its macabre extremes. Brie and Franco, who married in 2017, play Millie and Tim, a couple who move to the suburbs for her new teaching job. On a hike, they fall into a cave and drink some water that causes them to merge together. When they first wake up with their legs fused together, it's only slightly painful to pull apart. The pull toward each other grows more and uncomfortable, however, and difficult to separate. While a combination of prosthetic makeup and visual effects achieves the melding of flesh, it's the actors' performances that convince the audience Millie and Tim are in pain. Brie and Franco's bodies contort as their ailment pulls them together. The more entangled their connections, the more they must punish themselves to pull themselves apart. When the performances reach that level, they feel like Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead 2, willing to chop off his possessed hand with a chainsaw. Unfortunately, those moments are few and far between. Though it is necessary to explore some of Tim and Millie's relationship issues that the crisis exacerbates, that portion of the film could be more efficient. The couple's issues are rather basic. Tim is still trying to make his music career happen and is commitment-phobic about moving away with Millie. That's about as generic as relationship movies get. Millie fares a bit better, with Brie avoiding the trope of a domineering partner making ultimatums. But then, she seems either oblivious to Tim's very obvious discomfort or delusional in ignoring the red flags. The photography also goes overboard in depicting the magnetic pull Tim and Millie struggle to resist. Writer/director Michael Shanks loves to turn the camera upside down and after several of those shots, it's enough already. That Franco and Brie are married seems to contribute to their comfort in depicting the physical scenarios together. Non-married actors could certainly act, but it feels like a couple having fun folding themselves around each other. The moments of extreme horror are sure to elicit visceral reactions from viewers. Alas those moments are surrounded by a very banal relationship drama. Fred Topel, who attended film school at Ithaca College, is a UPI entertainment writer based in Los Angeles.

‘Chief of War,' and 7 More Shows to Watch on TV This Week
Between streaming and cable, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to watch. Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that are airing or streaming this week, July 28-Aug 3. Details and times are subject to change. Fictionalized struggles. The unification of the Hawaiian islands that took place during the late 1700s and early 1800s was defined by tribal warfare, political strife and fears of Western colonization. The new fictional drama, 'Chief of War,' takes a different approach than past retellings of the story — this time interpreting it through the lens of Polynesian people in a production made by people of Polynesian descent that uses their language. Jason Momoa, who was born in Hawaii and whose father was a native Hawaiian, stars as Ka'iana, a real-life warrior who has been both lauded and criticized by historians. Along with Ka'iana and his personal struggles, the show follows King Kamehameha (the first ruler and conqueror of Hawaii, played by Kaina Makua), who is driven by the mission to unify the islands of Hawai'i, Maui, O'ahu and Kaua'i. The first two of nine episodes will air this week, with new episodes dropping weekly after the premiere. Streaming Friday on Apple TV+. Documented strife. On Aug. 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Southeast Louisiana and, combined with subsequent flooding, caused 1,392 fatalities and $125 billion in damages, particularly to the New Orleans area. Almost 20 years later, the new documentary series 'Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time' doesn't seek to provide any new or groundbreaking information; instead it serves as a reminder of all the lessons that can be learned about weather catastrophes for the future. Over five episodes, New Orleans residents, from the 9th Ward, Algiers and Tremé, tell the story of their experiences, minute by minute. Streaming Monday on Hulu and Disney+. In December 2000, Mike Williams went missing in Jackson County, Florida after participating in an early morning duck hunting trip. Initially police speculated that Williams had drowned and was eaten by alligators. Seventeen years later, Brian Winchester, who had eventually married Williams's widow, Denise, (they had been having an affair at the time) confessed to killing his best friend in an elaborate scheme the two had planned. The four-part documentary series 'Mr. & Mrs. Murder' explores the case. Streaming Wednesday on Hulu. The Birmingham City Football Club was founded in 1875 and has seen its share of changes throughout the years. 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues' embeds film crews with the team to follow the players, coaches, owners and Tom Brady, who has a minority stake. The documentary series follows the day-to-day operations of the British soccer team and examines its cultural significance to the city of Birmingham. Streaming Friday on Prime Video.
