As Above, So Below, is a new horror film that arrives during the dog days of summer. It uses the overly tired faux documentary/found footage style without lending anything new to the genre. The film is marketed as straight horror, yet it leaves the audience without a shred of suspense.
Scarlett (played by the one note Perdita Weeks) is on a harrowing mission to find a secret rock her father also sought in his final days. She does so by breaking every rule imaginable, defacing museums and defiling sacred churches. The danger doesn’t seem to faze her; nor does she care who gets hurts in the process. Needless to say, she’s one self-serving character audiences will find nearly impossible to get behind. She’s clearly not the Lara Croft knock off the filmmakers undoubtedly hoped she would be. Apparently, all clues lead to the largest underground tomb below Paris.

I need to show y’all something.
This is Michelle Pfeiffer, in 1988’s Dangerous Liaisons.
This is Michelle Pfeiffer in Chéri, which opens today.
In case your math skills are like mine, 21 years have passed between those two pictures. And Pfeiffer is more stunning than ever.
Sure, she may have had a Botox injection or two (she says she hasn’t had plastic surgery — yet), but, face it (sorry), she is one of those women who get better with age. Thank you, Universe.
In Chéri, which is based on the novels of French feminist and bisexual writer Colette, Pfeiffer plays Léa de Lonval, an aging-but-still-breathtaking Parisian courtesan who becomes involved with Chéri (Rupert Friend), a man half her age. (Thanks to Melissa Silverstein for the photo.)

Kathy Bates plays Chéri’s mother Charlotte, herself a retired courtesan, who initially asks Léa to help her son grow up,...
