MOVIES
— Tony Hawk may not have seemed the most obvious Academy Awards presenter but he does have a new movie coming out. “Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off," a documentary about the professional skateboarder's life, debuts Tuesday on HBO Max and on HBO. It's directed by Sam Jones, who made the 2002 Wilco doc “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart," and it spans the entire career of the 53-year-old skateboarding pioneer while attempting to grasp his still strong obsession to be as good as ever. “Tony is competing against Tony," says fellow skateboarder Lance Mountain in the film. "He’s always been competing against Tony.”
— Andrea Arnold, the British director of “American Honey” and “Fish Tank,” is among the most vibrant filmmakers working today. In “Cow,” which debuts in theaters and on digital rental Friday, she makes her first documentary with an unlikely star: Luma, a dairy cow on a southern England farm. Arnold filmed “Cow” over four years, capturing the quotidian rhythms of Luma's life, giving the bovine the kind attention and empathy she would for any human protagonist. Along with films like 2021's “Gunda,” a black-and-white documentary portrait of a pig, “Cow” is part of a recent surge to use cinema to capture and elevate the lives of animals seldom afforded a close-up.
