<\/strong><strong>popcorn, you can still experience their magic at home.<\/strong> From blockbusters that drew crowds to the screens in droves to smaller films that packed as big a punch, it\u2019s not hard to remember why they call it movie magic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#<\/strong><strong>1<\/strong><strong>- DUNE PART TWO: <\/strong>This installment in the Dune franchise has been heralded as the pinnacle of sci-fi filmmaking. The unbelievably detailed worldbuilding supported by extensive lore sans tedious exposition, the fleshed-out characters that are as dynamic as the stunning cinematography. The plot is richer and busier than the first film, but from SFX and VFX to the costume design and the fight choreography, it\u2019s clear that Villeneuve handpicked those excelling in their respective fields to join him in the creation of this film.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#2- NO OTHER LAND:<\/strong> Shot before the events of October 2023, this documentary follows Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist, as he documents the ongoing demolition of Masafer Yatta, a cluster of Palestinian villages, by Israeli soldiers.

While some may find the violence in Patel\u2019s directorial debut excessive, the fight choreography is undeniably exceptional, a balletic display of raw power, adrenaline, and pure grit. The genre is dominated in Hollywood by Western heroes \u2014 your John Wicks and James Bonds, Jason Bournes, and Ethan Hunts \u2014 and seeing a different culture being portrayed on screen (and not just as a destination the hero has to jet off to) is refreshing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#4- EVIL DOES NOT EXIST: <\/strong>Ryusuke Hamaguchi\u2019s latest film centers on Takumi, a skilled widower living with his young daughter in an idyllic rural village outside of Tokyo. Their peaceful existence is disrupted when entrepreneurs plan to build a glamping (glamorous camping) resort in the area. The film takes a dark turn when the disruption of the natural balance leads to consequences for both the corporate representatives and the villagers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#5- KINDS OF KINDNESS: <\/strong>Yorgos Lanthimos returns to his roots in his most recent offering is a loosely related three-part anthology connected by themes of control, autonomy, and \u2014 obviously and ultimately \u2014 kindness.

The struggles of small-business ownership and the demanding reality of the food industry is revealed as Carmy fights to transform the restaurant as he adjusts to his new role. It's a tense show, but a deeply engrossing one too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#2- SH\u014cGUN:<\/strong> Set in 17th-century Japan, the story is set into motion when John Blackthorne washes up on Japanese shores. He finds himself in the company of Lord Toranaga, a powerful feudal lord on the brink of conflict, and Mariko, a mysterious outcast who serves as his translator. The constant jockeying for power between the different factions on the show keeps us on the edge of our seats, masterfully building tension as we watch alliances shift and betrayals unfold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#3- SHRINKING: <\/strong>Jason Segel stars as Jimmy, a cognitive behavioral therapist who is struggling to grieve his wife\u2019s death in AppleTV+\u2019s comedy .

Both actors are capable of providing an unforgettable onscreen experience \u2014 even when working with the most clich\u00e9 of narratives. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to external sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The plot: <\/strong>Tobias (Garfield) is a sales employee at a food company who\u2019s finalizing his divorce. Almut (Pugh), a professional chef, hits Tobias with her car \u2014 and that\u2019s where the love story starts. Years go by, they have a daughter, and then Almut falls ill with a life-threatening disease. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This is a romantic drama in which life seems to revolve around the protagonists \u2014 <\/strong>possibly thanks to British playwright Nick Payne, whose writing in this movie makes viewers feel like they\u2019re watching a play. The plot isn\u2019t new, but Garfield and Pugh\u2019s ability to embody such a wide range of emotions makes certain scenes unforgettable \u2014 despite a rather scattered back-and-forth between past and present. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The bottom line: <\/strong>We Live in Time is a moving journey that encapsulates love, passion, and loss \u2014 creating a dreamy world, even in its saddest moments. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO WATCH-<\/strong> You can find the movie at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/egy.voxcinemas.com\/ar\/movies\/we-live-in-time\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">VOX Cinemas<\/a> at City Center Almaza, Alexandria, and Mall of Egypt, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DD7h8Esie7t\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Zawya<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/galaxy-cinema.com\/movie-details\/we-live-in-time-english.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Cairo Festival City<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.citystars-heliopolis.com.eg\/ar\/cinema\/stars-cinema\/movie\/we-live-in-time-rkxxeyitb1g\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Citystars cinemas<\/a>, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/point90.elcinema.com\/ar\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Point90<\/a>.
