Why watch this film?
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.

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that causes strangeness right away -- much because of this already highlighted nineties vibe -- and for the somewhat outdated special effects.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.
Mighty Oak
The production has an engaging story about reincarnation, family issues and music as a backdrop. 'Mighty Oak' tells the story of an agent of a band who lost her brother and years later meets a ten-year-old musical prodigy and begins to believe that he is the reincarnation of her brother. The movie deals well with this theme and makes us reflect on these issues, both socially and religiously. 'Mighty Oak' is a family-friendly story that will certainly move you.
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.
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.
Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar
