Premieres Sept. 13: The return of "Predator", a drama with Julianne Moore and Russian ode to cruelty

purple mint

Hard, but secondary thriller about revenge for the family.

• Original title: Peppermint.
• Director: Pierre Morel.
• Starring: Jennifer Garner, John Gallagher - ml, John Ortiz..

After the death of the family from the hands of criminals the main character is trying to achieve justice. But the corrupt officials are trying to hush up the case. And then she has the most to take up arms and avenge their loved ones.

Those who are familiar with the comic book "The Punisher", or at least with the recent TV series from Netflix, even the trailer could not help but notice similarities in the two stories: the death of the family, and even the carousel, personal revenge trained human bandits and corrupt policemen. In addition, the screenwriter was once involved in the production of the short film "The Punisher. Dirty laundry". In general, as a result, and left almost a paraphrase of the same story from a woman's face. The plot is predictable and clichéd characters. Is that adds interest in acting of Jennifer Garner in an unusual role for himself.

Bel Canto

Ambiguous drama with good actors.

• Original name: Bel Canto.
• Director: Paul Weitz.
• Cast: Julianne Moore, Christopher Lambert.

Opera singer Roxanne Coss comes to South America to play at the reception. During the concert, the house burst militants and take the guests hostage. They require the government to release prisoners rebels threatening to kill nearly 500 people. Next month the heroes have to be held in captivity, and to learn to communicate with their captors.

In this film successfully combines everything: a great actor's game, the soundtrack, the ambiguity of the characters and the story. The authors manage to show love and affection just friendly, with the question here is not about the "Stockholm syndrome". But they never for a moment do not give to forget that happy ending in history can not be.

Big cat escape

Children's cartoon without pretensions to depth.

• Original title: Cats & Peachtopia.
• Director: Gary Wang.

One restless kitten Shustrik decided to leave the comfortable but boring dwelling, built the aircraft and flew to him through the window. His father Puhlyash and would be happy to stay at home, but now we need to save his son. Taking the company of a parrot, he embarks on a quest in the world full of danger.

Animators from around the world continue to copy Disney idea and Russian distributors continue to give them names, reminiscent of the famous cartoons. this story has nothing to do with "canine Great Escape", and the plot is too simple and even naive. But if there is no place to reduce the small child, "Big Cat's escape" is fine for entertainment.

The world belongs to you

Easy French crime film.

• Original title: Le monde est à toi.
• Directed by Romain Gavras.
• Starring: Karim Leklu, Isabelle Adjani, Vincent Cassel.

The protagonist earns petty drug dealer, but dreaming of something else. He wants to live in peace and to have their legitimate business of selling frozen juice. Here are all the money that he put on his business, his mother lost. And now the hero to get involved in a risky business to transport drugs, which would entail a chain of troubles.

This film can be called a "two in one". On the one hand - a typical crime comedy about losers who by chance remains in the win. On the other - the successor of the traditions of French films, which are always well liked in our country. In it there is a little social commentary, but still in the first place is a simple and sweet story.

Temporary difficulties

Ode to the cruelty and abuse of people with disabilities.

• Director: Michael consumables.
• Starring: Rinalia Mukhametov Ivan Ohlobystin.

Sasha Kovalev was born with cerebral palsy, but his father decided that if the cause of the child to do things on their own, he will recover. Sasha used to overcome the difficulties, but I hated my father. After high school, he became a well-known business consultant, telling everyone that they have only "temporary difficulties". But one day, he still has to meet his father.

The creators of the film wanted to tell a story of overcoming and show force the human spirit. But in fact they came out chanting of cruelty and violence: bullying father make a successful hero, cerebral palsy and is in general a psychosomatic illness that is curable with fright.

The authors justify that the main character based on a real prototype - known business coach Arcadia Zucker. But even the fact that the sick boy managed to survive when his father left him in the woods, hardly gives the right to submit it to the screen as a love story and a proper education.

damsel

Comedy with Robert Pattinson and feminist overtones.

• Original title: Damsel.
• Director: David Zellner, Nathan Zellner.
• Starring: Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska.

The action takes place in America in the days of the Wild West. Ironic Samuel wants to marry Penelope arrogant. But first, he needs to save his beloved from the bandit. He takes his friend's assistants, who claims to be a preacher, and together they go on a journey. Only here in the end it turns out that the girl salvation not really required.

We can say that this film - an attempt to turn inside out the genre of westerns. All the characters are presented here are not tough guys with guns and overt failures. And at the same time, only what he wants the object of love and desire Penelope - it ceased to save, and to solicit. And the authors of the "Maid" is the urgent topics feminism and objectification, but at the same time trying to make it easy and fun. It is difficult to say how well they disclose topical problems, but they demonstrate the comedic talent Pattinson and Wasikowska managed perfectly.

Happiness! Health!

Another Russian comedy about marriage and alcohol.

• Director: Mark Gorobets, Arman Marutyan Leonid Margolin.
• Starring: Zoe Berber, Kamil Larin, Marina Marina Fedunkiv.

The film consists of three stories about different weddings: Tatar, Armenian and Russian. But not all so simple. One couple wanted to just get by guests of money, the other tries to fend off the importunate father, and a third of the bride on the wedding day is released from prison ex-boyfriend.

The film continues all the same tradition of Russian comedies of recent years: some standard stories, mixed together, a loud soundtrack and a complete lack of originality. This time, fortunately, the writers managed to avoid vulgarity in the spirit of "Bitter", but to make a pleasant characters still could not. Most of the characters are annoying all the same, although the obvious moral in the final, maybe it will seem sincere most emotional audience.

Predator

Return of the hero's childhood militants.

• Original title: The Predator.
• Director: Shane Black.
• Starring: Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown.

Boy accidentally triggers the return mechanism of predators on earth. And now a group of scientists and military to fight with the new representatives of the aliens - even more powerful, cunning and deadly.

"Predator" by Shane Black (who played once in the very first part of the franchise) had to wait several years. Unfortunately, the result was not as impressive as many would like. But perhaps the thing to inflated expectations and "duckling syndrome". Indeed, except for "mad Max"Few can boast of successful sequels, filmed many years. And in fact the "Predator" is the same: simple, bloody, with silly jokes and scary aliens.
