HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Whether you're in the mood for an action adventure, caper comedy or body-horror epic, there's nothing better than these movies coming to theaters this weekend.
Want the intensity of a satirical domestic horror-thriller? "The Substance" is the story of Elizabeth (Demi Moore), an aging celebrity who takes an experimental drug that instantly transforms her into a younger, better-looking version of herself (Margaret Qualley).
Also releasing this weekend is the crime comedy "Wolves," with George Clooney and Brad Pitt playing two lonely professional fixers who are separately hired to cover up a heinous crime.

"Transformers One," the franchise's first animated film in theaters since 1986, takes viewers on a spectacular and heartwarming adventure between rivals Optimus Prime and Megatron, as the leaders of the two major factions on the planet Cybertron explore the origins of a broken relationship.
Fans of the franchise will remember that in the "Transformers" universe, Transformers are bots or cars that transform into creatures. Optimus Prime leads the friendly Autobots, while Megatron leads the villainous Decepticons.
The new film begins with two best friends, Orion bots Pax/Optimus Prime (voiced by Chris Hemsworth) and D-16/Megatron (voiced by Brian Tyree Henry), as they embark on a mission to find Energon in a past life as Transformers. Meanwhile, the brothers have no idea that their boss, the Big Man, is keeping them in the dark about the best friends' true identities.
This body horror film by Coralie Farguet claims that such a utopia exists in the form of a mysterious drug called "The Substance." Elizabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) is a 50-year-old fitness star who is concerned about very visible wrinkles and sagging skin. Unfortunately, her rude boss, Harvey (Dennis Quaid), is now considering firing her for her aging flaws.
Recently Elizabeth used a controversial experimental drug. In the process, a younger and better-looking clone named Sue (Margaret Qualley) emerges. So, yes, the substance works, but there's a problem - that is, you can start looking younger every other seven days. What substance will satisfy Elizabeth's desire? Of course, complications ensue as Elizabeth tries to escape aging.
"Substance" is not for the faint of heart. It's sometimes very hard to watch; nevertheless, it's captivating. Fargeat depicts the passions of youth with extremely sharp wit, highlighted by the subtle performances of the main characters.
In the new film, Amy Ryan plays Margaret, a tough Manhattan prosecutor who develops a relationship with a young man (Austin Abrams). But on that fateful night when they meet, she finds his dead body in the attic suite.
Who'll he call? Actually, the repairman calls Margaret the Man (Clooney). Soon, he arrives. Just as he's about to clean up the mess, another fixer named Pam's Man (Pitt) arrives. Complications arise when the two lonely fixers are forced to work together. Can they overcome their differences and make things right for Margaret?
