Trailer
Why watch this film?
'Argo' succeeds in combining the tension of an important international political event with humor and the behind-the-scenes of Hollywood movie production during a time when the industry was still recovering from dark times. A perfect entertainment for those interested in the 1970s, espionage, or the behind-the-scenes of filmmaking.

Live By Night
The era of Prohibition in the United States (1920-1933) has been the subject of various cinematic masterpieces, from the original 1932 'Scarface' to Sergio Leone's 'Once Upon a Time in America' or Brian De Palma's 'Untouchables'. Although based on Dennis Lehane's acclaimed homonymous novel (author of other great novels adapted for the screen such as 'Mystic River' or 'Shutter Island'), 'Live By Night' does not manage to belong to such a select club. As he did with 'Argo', Ben Affleck stars in, writes and directs this film version, although with less exciting results in terms of narrative, even if it is visually very well achieved. The solid performances of the star-studded cast, which includes Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson, Chris Cooper, Zoe Saldana and Sienna Miller; may be enough to keep your attention on this period crime drama, but there are undoubtedly better alternatives within the genre.
Air
Biographical sports drama directed by Ben Affleck (Argo, with performances from Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Chris Tucker, Jason Bateman and Affleck himself. Air: The Story Behind the Brand is, as its title suggests, the story of how a struggling Nike was able to attract Michael Jordan to the historic deal that gave rise to today's million-dollar Air Jordan sneaker line. In the director's chair, Affleck shows undeniable skill in extracting an interesting and even humorous story from an anecdote that doesn't deal with much more than executives trying to close a coveted contract. Michael Jordan himself - absent for practically the entire movie - is portrayed as a mythical figure, drawing greater attention to the ordinary men and women of the story.
Drama
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
Astral City: A Spiritual Journey
Life after death is the main theme in this drama about the process of transformation of a man during his surprising and enlightening experiences in the spiritual dimension. With magnificent art direction and special effects that have never been seen before in a Brazilian production, the film brings to the screen the most important work by Brazilian medium Chico Xavier who, through the account of the spirit of doctor André Luiz, describes in great detail what life is like at “ASTRAL CITY: A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY”.
20,000 Species of Bees

Challengers
Tennis player turned coach Tashi has taken her husband, Art, and transformed him into a world-famous Grand Slam champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she signs him up for a “Challenger” event — close to the lowest level of pro tournament — where he finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend.
