Why watch this film?
An unusual mix of drama, mystery and suspense, 'The Dry' stars Eric Bana ('Munich') as Aaron Falk, a man who returns to his drought-stricken hometown for a tragic funeral. But his return opens an old wound: the unsolved death of a teenage girl. Faithful to the book written by Jane Harper, the feature film brings a denser and slower atmosphere to show this character trying to reconnect and, at the same time, understand his past, present and future. Highlight for Bana's performance which, despite keeping a certain "blank face" throughout the movie, manages to bring the necessary emotion to important moments and thus raise the tone of the story.

Plot summary
Federal Agent Aaron Falk returns to his home town after an absence of over twenty years to attend the funeral of his childhood friend, Luke, who allegedly killed his wife and child before taking his own life -- a victim of the madness that has ravaged this community after more than a decade of drought. When Falk reluctantly agrees to stay and investigate the crime, he opens up an old wound -- the death of 17 year old Ellie Deacon. Falk begins to suspect these two crimes, separated by decades, are connected. As he struggles to prove not only Luke's innocence but also his own, Falk finds himself pitted against the prejudice towards him and pent up rage of a terrified community.

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.
