Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite!
Movie that seems to come straight out of a 1990s alternative cinema session, 'Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite!' is the third chapter of this franchise of films that mix talking animals, comic situations and a somewhat bizarre atmosphere. After all, it's a movie that causes strangeness right away -- much because of this already highlighted nineties vibe -- and for the somewhat outdated special effects. But the familiar atmosphere of the plot, about dogs and cats that are secret agents saving the world hidden from humans, has a certain charm. And, in the end, it ends up being a useful entertainment. It's not memorable, nor brilliantly directed. But it's light and helps pass the time.
On a Wing and a Prayer
Directed by Sean McNamara (The Daughter of the King), this movie exclusive to Amazon Prime Video is inspired by the story of pharmacist Doug White, who was forced to take control of the private plane that was transporting him, his wife, and their two daughters back home to Louisiana when the pilot died of a heart attack mid-flight. The performances of Dennis Quaid (A Dog's Purpose) and Heather Graham (Twin Peaks) are convincing, even if the discourse of this Christian film is preachy, which could cause some rejection from those who don't sympathize with its vision.
The King's Daughter
Based on Vonda N. McIntyre's work, 'The Moon and The Sun', this fantasy epic tells the story of Louis XIV (Pierce Brosnan) who steals the power of a mermaid (Bingbing Fan) in search of immortality and the plan backfires when his daughter (Kaya Scodelario) forms a relationship with the mystical creature. Doing justice to the grandeur of the book, the movie is very well done and features great performances from the cast - in addition to the aforementioned, it also stars William Hurt, Benjamin Walker, Ben Lloyd-Hughes, Rachel Griffiths and Crystal Clarke.
Drama
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
