MovieStyle: 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl'

The winner of the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival shows up in theaters this week, a couple of days after the cineplexes have been stormed by Ah-nuld and Channing Tatum.

So while Me and Earl and the Dying Girl might present as counter-programming in the face of Terminator Genisys and Magic Mike XXL, it gets the place of honor in this week’s MovieStyle. Piers Marchant has our review, while Dan Lybarger interviews screenwriter Jesse Andrews, who wrote the novel the movie’s based on.

We’ve also got Lybarger’s interview with Mike Nelson, the former head writer for the cult show Mystery Science Theater 3000, who’s preparing to roast Sharknado 2 on the big screen next week. And Karen Martin’s weekly look at fresh home video releases.

In MovieStyle on Friday.
