Beauty and the Beast
From Belle’s yellow dress to “Be Our Guest”, there are several iconic scenes in Beauty and the Beast that left a mark on the hearts of multiple generations of girls, and that most of us have already seen it a time or two hundred... Now, the live-action and computer animation adaptation of the iconic 18th-century fairy tale finally arrived to cinemas, starring the wonderful Emma Watson as bookish beauty Belle, and an impressive ensemble cast boasting names like Emma Thompson, Luke Evans, Ian McKellen, Ewan McGregor, Dan Stevens, and Kevin Kline. The film tells the “tale as old as time” by staying true to the story of the most popular adaptation of the original novel, and also sneaks in a few extra scenes, new details, and even songs in-between the well-known lines. Furthermore, beyond the familiar faces, songs, and scenes back on screen, Beauty and the Beast also promises a superb visual spectacle full of precisely crafted dazzling details.

Life
Life is a claustrophobic space-horror science-fiction flick, in which a scientific team of six people at the International Space Station is trusted with analyzing red dust and soil samples returning from Mars aboard an automated space probe. After successfully decanting and analyzing the sample amid secure conditions, to the excited revelation of the team, they find something in the soil that seems to be a single-celled organism that might be the first proof of extraterrestrial life. However, the cell soon starts growing rapidly, and after the crew curiously tries to take care of it, becomes hostile, threatening not only the life of the crew, but also the existence of the whole world as we know it. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds, this new space-based blockbuster also holds a truly exciting ending.

Silence
In Silence, two Portuguese priests – Adam Driver and Andrew Garfield – travel to 17th-century Japan, embarking on a mission to find their former mentor (Liam Neeson), a Jesuit priest who has vanished while spreading the gospel in Japan, where Christians were forced by torture and death to renounce their faith. However, when it proves that their mentor abandoned their God and now lives like a native, the young padres refuse to accept that Christianity cannot take root in Japan’s “mudswamp of moral apathy”. Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese’s new film was inspired by the eponymous novel of 20th-century Japanese fiction writer Shusaku Endo, a story haunted by humane questions.
