Trailer
Why watch this film?
Directed by French actor and filmmaker Guillaume Canet ('Love Me If You Dare'), 'Blood Ties' is a remake of the film 'Les Liens du Sang', by Jacques Maillot. This, in turn, is an adaptation of the novel 'Deux frères: flic & truand', by Bruno and Michel Papet. Although technically very well realized as a period crime drama (set in the 1970s), the script wanders between various stories about violence and betrayal (in a tradition similar to Martin Scorsese's), but its quality of acting by many is undeniable. Actors such as Clive Owen ('Children of Men'), Billy Crudup ('Public Enemies'), Marion Cotillard ('Inception'), Matthias Schoenaerts ('Rust and Bone'), Mila Kunis ('Black Swan') and Zoe Saldana ('Avatar'), along with the legendary James Caan ('The Godfather'), help take this action-packed feature to another level of appreciation.

Little White Lies 2
Nine years after the dramedy 'Until Eternity', the sequel 'Nous finirons ensemble' resurfaces with the same positive points that made the first feature film a success. The cast continues to be the absolute highlight, with actors such as François Cluzet, Marion Cotillard, Gilles Lellouche and Jean Dujardin. And the plot also remains flavorful: with dilemmas of everyday life, it shows the midlife crisis of one of the characters, who tries to make a reunion of old friends. There are no great reinventions in 'Nous finirons ensemble', which has the face of contemporary French cinema. But perhaps for this reason, it is good to watch. It shows life as it is. Without filters and with a pinch of comedy.
Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom
If there is one French institution that stands the test of time, it's 'Asterix & Obelix.' Born in comic books in the 1950s, the story is inspired by the customs and culture of the Gallic people, with these two main characters as absolute protagonists, even going so far as to have television series and movies. This production, directed by actor Guillaume Canet (Blood Ties), picks up the story of the characters in 2023. As its name suggests, it tells of the "Middle Kingdom", telling the story of Emperor Han Xuandi's only daughter, who escapes from an evil prince and seeks help from the Gauls and the two brave warriors. Although ridiculously silly at times, Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom moves with the return of these characters and shows how, even almost 70 years later, there is still room for them in collective memory.
Thriller
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
