green book

Beautiful film in the entourage of the sixties America. One of the main contenders for the "Oscar".

• Original title: Green Book.
• Director: Peter Farrelly.
• Cast: Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali, Linda Cardellini.

The beginning of the sixties. Italian-American Tony Vallelonga nicknamed Chatterbox works as a bouncer. After the closure of the club was offered a very lucrative job - a driver to stay in the two-month tour of the famous African-American pianist Don Shirley. Chatterbox is ill-suited to the role of escort, he is too rude and short-tempered. But he can protect his charge, because the days of racial segregation has not yet passed.

The film deservedly claims to be "Oscar"In several major categories. Filming entourage sixties pleasing bright picture, beautiful cars and costumes. A duo cast Viggo Mortensen and Mahershaly Ali screens live characters and real "chemistry" in communication.

"Green Book" is worth a look even for those who are not interested in the topic of segregation. It is very beautiful and emotional film.

sea ​​temptation

Thriller for fans of Matthew McConaughey with unexpected outcome.

• Original title: Serenity.
• Directed by Steven Knight.
• Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Diane Lane.

Baker runs a fishing boat captain, leads a quiet life, and trying to forget about the past. But everything changes with the appearance of his former wife, who asks to kill her new husband. It returns to the old Baker's life, from which he wanted to give up.

Filmmakers Steven Knight, known to viewers as the author of the series "Acute visors" and screenwriter of films "Eastern Promises", "The girl who got stuck in a web" and many others. But the "sea of ​​temptation" - the most personal project of Knight. He wrote the screenplay, independently produced and directed the film. That is why the project came out a little strange. Most of the action is developing very slowly, sometimes even causing bored. But in the final story takes a sharp turn unpredictable, changing the perception of the film.

Trailer picture creates a misleading impression, so those who expect only a thriller about a love triangle, may be slightly disappointed. Yet "The sea of ​​temptation" is worth a look. If not for an unexpected finale, then because of the excellent cast, led by Matthew McConaughey.

Grandmother of easy virtue - 2: elderly Avengers

Continuation of last year's comedy with jokes Comedy Club in style.

• Director: Marius Weisberg.
• Starring: Alexander Revva, Dmitry Nagiyev, Michael Galustjan, Glucose.

The hero of the first part, the speculator Alexander Rubenstein, seemingly took a job at a decent pot. But all his savings, and at the same time and the money of pensioners suddenly disappeared because of the actions of the oligarch. Sasha then assembles a team to take revenge.

In the continuation of last year's comedy writers again exploit exactly the same approach: Alexander Revva dressing up in women's clothes, vulgar jokes and silly situations. The cast of Michael added Galustjana constantly speaking in prison slang, and Dmitry Nagiyev in the traditional way bastard.

With "Grandma easy virtue - 2" it's simple. Those who liked the first part and the other works of the author (for example, "Mamma Mia!") And laugh on a new film. The rest is better to choose something else.

A handsome boy

Emotional drama about a family tragedy with the rising star Timothy Shalamov.

• Original title: Beautiful Boy.
• Directed by Felix Van Groeningen.
• Starring: Steve Carell, Timothy SHALAMOV, Maura Tierney.

Journalist David Sheff learns that his son, Nick became a drug addict. It would seem that this did not have any prerequisites: Nick provided all, a good student, parents, though divorced, but they love it and maintain communication. Trying to understand, David recalls how the son was. And in parallel trying to cure him of his destructive addiction.

This film does not claim the laurels of the tragic and hysterical stories about drugs such as "Requiem for a Dream" and "Trainspotting." Here is a story from the other side: the emphasis is on the personal relationship of father and son. In this sense, the actors chosen for the main role, look perfect. Steve Carell does not look like a comic image of the "office" - his character is quiet and reasonable. A young star Timothy SHALAMOV once again it proves that all the praise after the release of "Call me your name," were not accidental.

Actor playing and touching story make "beautiful boy" required for viewing for all fans of auteur cinema.

Holmes & Watson

Weak comedy with good actors, but no logical development and successful jokes.

• Original name: Holmes & Watson.
• Director: Ethan Coen.
• Starring: Lauren Lapkus, John C. Reilly, Will Ferrell.

Ingenious but absurd Sherlock Holmes and its complexes assistant Dr. Watson are trying to catch the mysterious Professor Moriarty. This time he decided to poison the queen herself, and detectives have only a few days to save her. Unless, of course, they do not kill it because of their own clumsiness.

After the release of the film in the United States in full talking about being tired of the genre parody comedy. Directed by Ethan Coen wrote good scripts for such films as "Tropic Thunder" and "Idiocracy." But in his movie for some reason he decided to focus exclusively on the antics of the actors forgetting cohesive plot or at least a funny text jokes.

As a result, the whole picture is dialed a few funny moments, and that most of them play on all sorts of anachronisms like selfi stick in the XVIII century. For the rest, "Holmes & Watson" left bewildered, because even in "Sherlock Holmes" Guy Ritchie humor was much more, not to mention the excellent comedy "Without a Clue." Them better and to devote the evening instead of the campaign for a new movie.

Astral: a new dimension

Boring horror in the style of "Flatliners" no part of the story.

• Original title: Astral.
• Director: Chris Mule.
• Starring: Catherine Steadman, Frank Dillane, Vanessa Grass.

Alex's mother died when he was a child. As a teenager, he became interested in theories about the existence of the astral body. So Alex wants to be able to communicate with the dead mother.

The new film has nothing to do with the franchise of James Wan, received in Russian box called "Astral" (originally called the films Insidious). So expect a repetition of the authors' favorite subjects is not necessary. And in fact, better than nothing at all to wait, because sometimes it seems that the "new dimension" simply forgot to add the part of the story. After a sluggish entry action for some time, it begins to resemble the classic "Flatliners", but supposedly the hero goes to the astral plane just at bedtime. And part of the film focuses on how a webcam watching him sleep. No heating of the plot, nor even simple Screamer, from which you can start, the entire movie and does not appear.

Instead of a new "Astral" is better again include the first film or the same Van "Flatliners": they are even with repeated viewing cause more emotion.

return point

Nostalgic detective thriller with a typical Sylvester Stallone.

• Original title: Backtrace.
• Directed by: Brian A. Miller.
• Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Matthew Modine, Ryan Guzman.

During the abduction of 20 million dollars was lost almost all of the gang of robbers. The sole survivor lost his memory and is serving time in prison. But the new criminal, wanting to find the money, arranges for him to escape, and introduces an experimental drug that restores memory. At the same time they trace out an experienced policeman.

Sylvester Stallone does not stop its attempts to act in action movies in the nineties style. Unfortunately, it is in the best years did not differ in acting, and now does not change expression. Therefore, for a really interesting film "Point of Return" looks too simple and predictable, and for the nostalgic history of it too seriously.

Retrodetektivov fans and fighters start ninetiethProbably appreciate this film. But now fans of the modern dynamic movie it will seem dull.

BEEF: Russian hip-hop

A documentary about Russian rap with well-known performers in leading roles.

• Director: Roma Zhigan.
• Starring: Basta, Alexander Timartsev Adil sorry Miron Fedorov.

Documentary project about the formation of hip-hop in Russia, created rap artist Roma Zhiganov. The best-known musicians will talk about how unusual for Russian genre made its way from the underground to the stadiums.

With this film, everything is simple and clear even from the title. He will attract only those who are interested in Russian hip-hop. Unfortunately, local authors have not yet learned how to make really interesting documentary painting musicSo BEEF will project only for the fans, the benefit of them now is enough.

BTS: Love Yourself Tour in Seoul

Concert film South Korean boys band.

The theaters will start the concert shows the South Korean boys band BTS (also known as Bangtan Boys), recorded in August last year in Seoul.

(There are rumors about the possible arrival only because in the near future the team has no plans to visit Russia in 2020), it is a unique opportunity for fans to experience the atmosphere favorite performances group.

Wolves and Sheep: Running pig

Children's cartoon, fully extending the first part.

• Director: Vladimir Nikolaev.

In a small town called a truce between the wolves and the sheep. Since then, two different species coexist peacefully and conduct farming. But suddenly, in the city there are novices: little lamb and fox. And behind them came a whole flock of black wolves. Residents have to join forces to confront the enemies.

Since the release of the first installment in the franchise, "Wolves and Sheep: Be-ee-reasonable to conversion" took almost three years. But it is not very likely that the authors have tried to improve the graphics, or to come up with new stories. Continued repeats the style and humor of the original, without adding any fundamental differences.

New "Lions for Lambs" is unlikely to be of interest to adults: it is too simple and predictable cartoon. But now young children are likely to delight cute characters.

Magic carpet

A cartoon in the spirit of "Aladdin" with a very simple animation.

• Original title: Hodja fra Pjort.
• Directed by: Carsten Keeler.

The protagonist of this cartoon wants to see the world. And dreams come true: he gets a magic carpet. But now he has to return it to the Sultan's daughter, or be trouble.

Simple Danish cartoon again plunges into the atmosphere of fairy tales of Aladdin, only animation pumped: all traced too rough. And the rest of the atmosphere can be fully understood by the trailer. If you liked it, you can send to the movies or go to the children.

Be careful: the "magic carpet" will start at the box office is not on Thursday, and on Saturday, 26 January.
