In the futuristic action comedy, "Mickey 17," Robert Pattinson plays a space traveler who's repeatedly killed and resurrected for scientific research purposes as part of an expedition to a distant planet. It's the first movie from South Korean writer-director Bong Joon-ho after his Oscar-winning film "Parasite."

This week sees the belated release of "The Annihilation Of Fish," which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 1999 but is only now opening in theaters for the first time. It's a romantic comedy, starring the late trio of James Earl Jones, Lynn Redgrave and Margot Kidder, and was directed by Charles Burnett, best known for his 1978 classic "Killer Of Sheep." Our film critic, Justin Chang, has this review of "The Annihilation Of Fish."
