Trailer
Why watch this film?
After a relatively mediocre success with 'Divergent', the saga returned to the big screen one year later with 'Insurgent'. Out goes Neil Burger ('The Illusionist') from the direction and in comes Robert Schwentke ('The Captain', 'RED'), who makes the whole production a bit more pasteurized and with generic tones. However, despite a slight drop in quality compared to the first feature film, we find a production that still manages to bring interesting youth themes in a dystopian environment, with good performances by Shailene Woodley, Kate Winslet and Ansel Elgort. It's not great, but it's a way to pass the time.

The Captain
World War II still yields many films, even 75 years later. 'Der Hauptmann' presents a different story about this period by following a German soldier fighting for survival. He finds a Nazi captain's uniform and assumes the position of superior as soon as he is in possession of the garments. It is very interesting to analyze how he grows from the moment he decides to embody this character. Another differential of 'Der Hauptmann' is that most of the movies about World War II do not show the perspective of the Nazis. Director and screenwriter Robert Schwentke, known in the United States for directing 'Red: Retired and Dangerous' and 'R.I.P.D: Agents of the Beyond', brings a simple and natural story, without pointing out who the enemy is or portraying the Germans as the villains - because we know that not everyone who fought in the war supported the Nazi regime.
Allegiant
Finally, after mediocre results with 'The Divergent Series: Insurgent', the dystopian young adult franchise about Tris (Shailene Woodley) went back to the "all or nothing". Lionsgate, the studio responsible for the adaptation of Veronica Roth's books, kept apathetic Robert Schwentke ('RED') in the direction, but left a more impressive cast - in addition to Kate Winslet, heavyweights such as Octavia Spencer and Jeff Daniels also joined the franchise. But even that was not enough to save 'The Divergent Series: Allegiant' from being shelved after a cold reception from critics and audiences, resulting in a box office much lower than expected. The lack of interest of the actors in continuing the production was also a point for Lionsgate to give up the project, which never had its conclusion adapted to the movies - it is worth remembering that 'Allegiant' is the last book of the saga, but the studio opted to divide the story into two parts. There is a bittersweet feeling here. After all, as bad as it is a bad movie, worse still is not seeing Tris's story concluded in the movies, the way it deserved. It's a shame, because it had potential.
Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins
"Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins" is the third and newest action movie of the famous G.I. Joe franchise, which has already featured stars like The Rock and Bruce Willis in its previous films. This follows the journey of a lone warrior trained by a Japanese clan known as the Arashikage. But when secrets from his past are revealed, his loyalty to the clan is tested. Eventually, he embarks on a journey that transforms him into the hero Snake Eyes. For the usual fans of the franchise, the new one does not fail to deliver the expected. Even though it does not have the stars that have been in other films, it still adds well-constructed action scenes and an experienced director behind the cameras (who has already directed other action films such as 'Red', 'R.I.P.D.' and two films of the 'Divergent' franchise). For action lovers and fans of the franchise, you will be at home!
Adventure
Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia
'Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia' - In the follow-up to their first Academy Award®-nominated adventure, the duo returns to Ernest's home in Gibberitia, a land known for its musicians. But Ernest and Celestine soon discover that music has been banned and it is up to them to restore it.
Samson
After losing the love of his life to a cruel Philistine prince, a young Hebrew with Supernatural strength defends his people, sacrificing everything to avenge his love, his people, and his God.
The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
