From the same director
The Midnight Sky
George Clooney returns to the director's chair in this sci-fi drama based on the book Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton. The film follows the story of a scientist racing against time to prevent a group of astronauts from returning to Earth after a global catastrophe. This is one of Clooney's best works as a director and also as an actor - he is also one of the protagonists of 'The Midnight Sky'. If you were worried about the excess of coffee commercials he was doing, you can rest assured as George Clooney has returned to what he does best. Besides him, the rest of the cast, Kyle Chandler, Felicity Jones and David Oyelowo, are great too.
The Tender Bar
'The Tender Bar' is a touching and sensitive story. The exclusive Amazon Prime Video movie is directed by George Clooney (who has already held the position in films such as 'Good Night and Good Luck'), and stars Tye Sheridan ('Ready Player One') and Ben Affleck ('Gone Girl'). The production adapts the book of the same name by J. R. Moehringer, in which the author tells his own life in Long Island. It is a measured and honest journey of maturity, paying more attention to everyday details and unique moments than to a journey of great events. Still, it is a powerful drama, one of those made to move the viewer.
The Boys In The Boat
Based on the non-fiction book The Boys in the Boat, this film tells the story of a group of young men who, affected by the economic crisis of the 1930s in the United States, become a formidable rowing team that even takes the fight to the Nazis at the 1936 Olympics. Although the rigidity in George Clooney's direction (The Tender Bar) doesn't do it many favors, the film is steered to success by the sheer impact of its story and the work of its actors, especially Callum Turner (Fantastic Beasts) and Hadley Robinson (Moxie).
Thriller
Boy Kills World
When his family is murdered, a deaf-mute named Boy escapes to the jungle and is trained by a mysterious shaman to repress his childish imagination and become an instrument of death.
Motel Destino
Dayana lives an abusive marriage with former police officer Elias, owner of Motel Destino. When 21-year-old Heraldo finds himself at the motel after messing up a hit and going on the run, Dayana finds herself intrigued and lets him stay. As the two navigate a dance of power, desire and liberation, a dangerous plan for freedom emerges.
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.
