From the same director
Brokeback Mountain
'Brokeback Mountain' earned Ang Lee his first Oscar for Best Director, as well as the coveted Golden Lion of Venice, among many other awards. Furthermore, and despite the controversy, the movie was an important watershed moment for the representation of sexual diversity in Hollywood cinema, with emotionally charged performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger.
Life of Pi
After emoting with powerful and realistic dramas such as 'Brokeback Mountain' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', Taiwanese filmmaker Ang Lee dove into visual effects to tell the story of Pi, the boy stuck in the middle of the ocean with some animals--including a Bengal tiger. Just like 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?', the circumstance serves only to allow the audience to delve even deeper into the character. After all, what matters in 'Life of Pi' is the internal emotional journey of the protagonist, who discovers and understands his life from this unusual situation. The visuals are stunning, showing that Ang Lee has a special appreciation for adopting effects and scenarios ahead of their time, as would be confirmed in 'Gemini Project'. And, with that, the audience should find here a double enchantment. On the one hand, the incredible and even grandiose visuals. But on the other, going into deeper layers, this intimate and particular drama about a young Indian boy.
Gemini Man
Directed by Ang Lee ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'), 'Gemini Man' delivers everything you'd expect (for good and for bad) from an action thriller starring Will Smith, in a script that seems to be a mix of the 'Bourne' franchise with 'I, Robot'. The cast also includes Mary Elizabeth Winstead ('Live Free or Die Hard'), Clive Owen ('Shoot 'Em Up') and Benedict Wong ('Doctor Strange'). The main character is a government agent who gets involved in a conflict against a younger version of himself, which brings up ethical, moral and even paternal issues. If the movie doesn't manage to engage us with its psychological veneer, the main differential is the technology: with the help of computer graphics, a 30-year-younger Will Smith is recreated.
Action
The Fall Guy
Fresh off an almost career-ending accident, stuntman Colt Seavers has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job.
Money
In this high-stakes action thriller, two pharmaceutical executives are about to get away with stealing $5 million until an uninvited houseguest derails their plans and holds them hostage during an all-night standoff. Featuring a powerful ensemble cast, including Jesse Williams, Kellan Lutz and Jess Weixler, MONEY is a chilling lesson in greed that will keep you guessing until the very end!
Deadpool & Wolverine
Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
