No Foolin’ — ‘The Last Of Us’ Returns In Max’s Lineup For April
by Erik Amaya
Max might be the most volatile streamer in terms of what is accessible at any given time. Classic Looney Tunes shorts disappeared earlier this month, for example. But it is also a convenient place to see classic films like Now, Voyager and The Terminator — yes, both are classics — or the return of the HBO hit series The Last of Us. All three titles are on the schedule for Max’s April offerings.
Now, Voyager stars Betty Davis as an insecure woman at an upscale 1940s sanitarium who manages to find love (but maybe not the way you’d expect) and stability along the way. It is very much a melodrama from the time when it was a legitimate genre, but the performances and story are top notch. It also has a killer final line. We highly recommend it. The Terminator is, of course, the 1984 James Cameron film that gave Arnold Schwarzenegger his defining catchphrase and launched any number of theories about temporal mechanics. Did Skynet doom itself by inventing time travel? And while the bleak zombie drama of The Last Of Us isn’t our bag, we respect its swagger and the way it captured the imaginations of the viewing public. While the films featured above debut on Max April 1st (no foolin’), The Last of Us‘s second season debuts April 13th.
