Ready or Not Movies on the Plaza continues this Friday, Aug. 23 with Disney’s animated hit The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The 1996 film was nominated for a Devilish black comedy is a real killer Best Music Oscar and features considerably more songs than Victor Hugo’s original 1831 novel. Admission is free and open to the public. Seating is available in Civic Plaza, but you are welcome to bring your own chairs or picnic blankets. A concession stand will be available onsite. Dogs and bicycles are welcome. Feel free to show up early and play in Civic Plaza’s new splash pad. The film begins at dusk (around 8pm). Soup to Nuts The “dinner and a movie” concept comes to Santa Fe’s Jean Cocteau Cinema (418 Montezuma Ave.) on Saturday, Aug. 24. The theater is screening the Southwestern favorite Tortilla Soup and has recruited a couple local chefs to come up with something more than popcorn and sodas to accompany it. The 2001 comedy-drama tells the story of three grown sisters trying to live at home with their father (Héctor Elizondo), an exacting Latino chef who is slowly losing his sense of taste. The film is a loose remake of Ang Lee’s 1994 classic Eat “Why couldn’t we have played Pokémon Go?” Drink Man Woman. Chef Andrea Abedi and Chef BY DEVIN D.

irsten Dunst has starred in her fair share of Khit movies (Jumanji, Little Women, Bring It On, Spider-Man) but rarely has she been given the opportunity to do something deeper and darker (Wag the Dog, The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette). Which is kind of a shame, since Dunst is far more interesting when she gets to do something more than smile. Fortunately, Dunst’s first trip back to television (since a short, six-episode run on “ER” in 1996) allows her to tap into another level of her personality: the angry, vengeful, vaguely homicidal level. “On Becoming a God in Central Florida” is a mildly quirky, blackly comic series set in “Orlando-adjacent” Florida, circa 1992. Dunst plays Krystal Stubbs, a lower middle-class wife and new mother who works at a crummy water park just to make ends meet. Her husband, meanwhile, has gotten himself entangled in a self-help pyramid scheme called FAM. A self- described “millionaire in waiting,” Travis Stubbs (the always-welcome Alexander Skarsgard), get it by climbing as high as she possibly can in fashion. Instead of a king of meth production, listens obsessively to the cassette tapes of Obie Garbeau’s cult-like, multibillion-dollar however, she becomes the queen of multilevel Reagan/Jesus/John Wayne-loving marketing empire and wreaking holy havoc. marketing. guru Obie Garbeau (Ted Levine from The Silence “On Becoming a God …” is billed as a black The show smartly acknowledges the trap of of the Lambs).

O’LEARY NEW Angel Has Fallen Odds are you only vaguely recall the generic 2013 ac- tion flick Olympus Has Fallen or its even more forget- table 2016 sequel London Has Fallen (both of which barely recovered their budget at the box office). But if you’re an absolute sucker for Tom Clancey-esque thrillers, then you may be mildly excited to see Gerard Butler reprise his role as tough Secret Service Agent Mike Banning. For this “threequel,” our intrepid hero finds himself framed for an attempted assassination on the president of the United States (Morgan Free- man). Oh no!
