Hidden Figures
Hidden Figures tells the incredible-yet-untold true story of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, three brilliantly bright and magnificent African-American women working at NASA in the ’60s. The trio of visionary women helped to fulfill one of the most monumental operations in the history of space research: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, and successfully returning him to Earth with spot-on mathematical calculations. They revolutionized racial and gender roles and turned around the Space Race by daring to dream big, setting an excellent example for women around the world. This 2016 American biographical drama earned Oscar nominations for “Best Picture” and for “Best Adapted Screenplay” at this year’s Academy Awards, and we very much hope it wins them both for its gentle portrayal of feelings and fortitude, and for telling a story that is so meaningful and significant even in our modern day.

Rings
Most of us remember the 2002 psychological horror film, The Ring, whose main character, Samara Morgan, still sends chills down our spine. In 2017 she returns in the third feature length film in the Ring franchise, that is set 13 years after the events of the first chapters. When discovering a subculture surrounding a mysterious videotape that is said to kill all its viewers seven days after viewing, Julia becomes worried about her boyfriend and is ready to sacrifice her own life in order to save her sweetheart.

Split
In Split, three girls get abducted by Kevin (James McAvoy), who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, hence is diagnosed with 23 different personalities, including a nine-year-old playful boy, a strict lady, and an obnoxious kidnapper. However, it soon turns out there is still one menacing character submerged in Kevin that is set to unfold, casting even greater danger on the frightened girls. Therefore, they must try to figure out which personality inside the simultaneously sinister and sentimental Kevin can help them escape before it’s too late. Knowing M. Night Shyamalan’s previous film productions, like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village, it is safe to say that the less we know about this film, the experience we get at the cinema will be more jaw-dropping.
