Thriller

As far as gaslight-era whodunits go, I'll give "The Hour of 13" a 6 — a hair better than average, but far from socks-knocking.

Blitz
Make a play for the Stath!
Action
Rod Lott
"Blitz" isn't your average Jason Statham flick, in that: a) it skipped theaters, and b) his partner is a homosexual. I can't recall seeing that mix in cinema crime stories since the days of Ryan O'Neal and John Hurt in "Partners," and that 1982 film was a comedy.

Comes a Bright Day
All is not calm, all is not ‘Bright.’
Thriller
Rod Lott
London, jazz, neon-lit nights, a posh hotel, a heist, Imogen Poots: Comes a Bright Day has so many elements I love to see in the movies, yet they add up to such a minuscule amount of pleasure. It's like pouring your favorite bubbly beverage all the way to the top of a frosty glass, only to see that once the head has subsided, you're left with so little.
Opera it

Can’t go to London for the opera? Oh, well, let the opera come to you. At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 15, The Metropolitan Opera’s production of Handel’s Giulio Cesare screens at Cinemark Tinseltown USA, 6001 N. Martin Luther King. The story of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar runs an epic 275 minutes ... until the fat lady sings, we presume. Tickets are $14- $20. Call 424-0461 or visit cinemark.com.
