Trailer
Why watch this film?
The dystopian sci-fi literary saga for teens written by Suzanne Collins finds a satisfying film adaptation in the hands of director Gary Ross ("Seabiscuit: Soul of a Hero"). Thematically, "The Hunger Games" is like a "toned down" version of movies like "Battle Royale", but it still manages to be an exciting movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The key is Jennifer Lawrence's convincing performance, the role that made her a star.

Free State of Jones
In school history books, we learn about the great facts, the great battles, the famous politicians and generals. But human evolution is not just about the big names, but also about all those unknown people who, at some point, fought for what they believed in. What 'A State of Freedom' does is to highlight one of these small stories, more specifically about those who fought for racial equality in Jones County, Mississippi, during the Civil War. Watching this film is, somehow, to value the efforts of those men - and to have a perspective of history that school books will never bring.
Ocean's 8
The female version of ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ with an amazing cast: Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, singer Rihanna and rapper Awkwafina. Following the premise of the original movie, this powerful team plans a big heist with lots of female empowerment and humor. After all, we rarely get to see so much female talent starring in one movie!
Seabiscuit
The Legend of Seabiscuit is one of the most well-known in the history of horse racing and sports in general. With seven Oscar nominations (including Best Picture) and great performances from Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges, Chris Cooper, William H. Macy, and Elizabeth Banks, 'Seabiscuit' attempts to be a faithful representation of the facts, although it ultimately is a bit sappy.
Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
