Michael Bay brings us 6 Underground based on the premise:

What’s the best part of being dead?

  • It isn’t escaping your boss or ex or deleting your criminal record.
  • The best part about being dead is the freedom.
  • The freedom to fight the injustice and evil that lurk in our world with no one or anything to slow you down or tell you “no.”

With Bay’s classic style, 6 Underground introduces a new action hero—six individuals, each the very best in their field, from around the globe.

The leader, Ryan Reynolds, hired them for their skill and desire to delete their pasts to change the future. The vigilante squad intends to ensure that they take down notorious criminals and evil dictators. While the leader and his fellow operatives are no longer remembered, their actions damn sure will be.

One is the leader, played by Reynolds. He’s a billionaire making his fortune through technology. He’s seeking redemption for former mistakes. Two, played by Melanie Laurent, is a former CIA operative. Three, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, is a hitman. Four, played by Ben Hardy, is a parkour specialist. Five, played by Adria Arjona, is a doctor. Six, played by Dave Franco, is a driver and getaway expert.

“Mia and the White Lion,” Heartfelt Story

adventure, children movies, drama, family movies, kid movies, , , ,

Directed by Gilles de Maistre, Mia and the White Lion follows ten-year-old Mia, played by Daniah De Villiers. Her life is turned upside down when her family decides to leave London to manage a lion farm in Africa. The movie is filmed in South Africa with gorgeous landscapes and expansive views.

When a beautiful white lion, Charlie, is born, Mia finds happiness again and develops a special bond with the growing cub. During this time the movie was shot throughout three years. The young stars De Villiers and Ryan Mac Lennan, who plays Mia’s brother, could bond and develop genuine relationships with the lions and other animals in the film.

When Charlie reaches three, Mia’s life is rocked once again as she uncovers an upsetting secret hidden by her father, played by Langley Kirkwood. Distraught that Charlie could be in danger, Mia decides to rescue him. The two friends set out on an incredible journey across the South African savanna, searching for a sanctuary where Charlie can live out his life in freedom.

The movie also stars Mélanie Laurent as Mia’s mother.

Prune de Maistre and William Davies co-write the screenplay. Davies is known for writing How To Train Your Dragon and Puss in Boots. The movie is based on Maistre’s original idea, and this is her first produced screenplay.

This is a heartfelt movie, and the trailer embarrassingly brought tears to my eyes. I am a pushover for sentimental films about animals.

Directed by Chris Weitz, Operation Finale is a thrilling true story that follows the 1960 covert mission of legendary Mossad agent Peter Malkin, played by Oscar Isaac, as he infiltrates Argentina and captures Adolf Eichmann, played by Ben Kingsley, the Nazi officer who masterminded the transportation logistics that brought millions of innocent Jews to their deaths in concentration camps.

Mossad is the national intelligence agency of Israel.

Weitz directing credits include About a Boy, Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Golden Compass. His writing credits are impressive, which includes Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Mountain Between Us, and Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.

The atrocities of the Nazi regime is forever in our minds.  We will never forget how crazy and mad a group of evil men and women can become if they are allowed to dramatize freely without being stopped.

The latest poster image communicates so much better. We must be vigilant and never let such atrocities happen again.

The rest of the cast include Lior Raz, Melanie Laurent, Nick Kroll, Joe Alwyn, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Aronov, Ohad Knoller, Greg Hill, Torben Liebrecht, Mike Hernandez, Greta Scacchi, and Pêpê Rapazote.

The feature below offers details of how Weitz works with the actors. The actors speak about working with him and how he directs.
