No Time to Die《007：无暇赴死》
At last! Its release has been delayed again and again, and before that its production was hampered by injuries, accidents and the withdrawal of its original director, Danny Boyle. But Daniel Craig's final Bond movie is here – six whole years after the previous one, Spectre. Directed and co-written by Cary Joji Fukunaga and with Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the writer's room (Fleabag/Killing Eve), the story is that 007 has retired from MI6 to settle down with his girlfriend (Léa Seydoux), leaving a new double-0 (Lashana Lynch) to save the world in his absence. But his CIA buddy Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) persuades him to fight the devilishly named Lyutsifer Safin (Rami Malek). But the most intriguing aspect ofNo Time to Dieis that it's apparently a tear-jerker. "There's a lot of emotion in this Bond," Seydoux revealed toC Magazine. "It's very moving. I bet you're going to cry, if you like to cry. [When I watched it,] I cried, which is weird, because I play in it."
After injuries, accidents and the withdrawal of original director Danny Boyle during the production process, the release time has been repeatedly postponed, and now "007: No Time to Die" is finally about to be released. But as Daniel Craig's last Bond film, it's been a full 6 years since the last 007: Ghost Party. Directed by Kerry Fowon and written alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge (whose works include Life in London and Killing Eve), the film tells the story of Agent 007 retiring from MI6, planning to settle down with his girlfriend (Playa Saidu) and entrusting the task of saving the world to New Agent 00, Rushner Lynch. But Bond's CIA friend Felix Wright (Jeffrey White) convinces him to deal with the evil Lucifer Safin (Rami Marek). But the biggest attraction of the film is that its tear-inducing effect is very significant. Reyya Saidu told C Magazine: "This Bond film is emotional and very moving. If you love to cry, this film will definitely make you cry. I just cried, which is ridiculous, because this film is what I played. ”

Cinderella "Cinderella"
Disney's live-action Cinderellacame out in 2015, but it wasn't much different from the 1950 cartoon. With its treacly plot and its simpering, passive heroine, it refused to acknowledge that society – and, for that matter, Disney cartoons – had moved on in the intervening decades. Now, though, there is another Cinderella that actually seems to belong in the 21st Century. Written and directed by Kay Cannon (screenwriter ofPitch Perfectand director ofBlockers), the latest version has all you could want from a classic fairy tale, including a faux-Medieval setting, a wicked stepmother (Idina Menzel), a snooty king (Pierce Brosnan) and queen (Minnie Driver), and mice who transform into footmen (one is played by the film's producer, James Corden). But it also has pop songs on the soundtrack, a multi-cultural cast, and Billy Porter as Fab G, a modern fairy godmother. Most importantly, it has a Cinderella (Camila Cabello) who would rather be a dress designer than a princess, so she doesn't need a handsome prince (Nicholas Galitzine) to help her live happily after.
Disney released a live-action version of the movie Cinderella in 2015, but it was not much different from the 1950 animated version. The plot of this movie is like honey, the heroine is passive, only smirking, completely ignoring the fact that society (including Disney animation) has come a long way forward in the past few decades. Now that another "Cinderella" is coming out, it seems that this new film is more in tune with the 21st century. Written and directed by Kay Cannon (a former writer for Perfect Tone and Director for Escort Parents), the new film has everything you'd expect to see in a classic fairy tale, including a replica medieval set, the evil stepmother (played by Edina Menzel), the arrogant king (played by Pierce Brosnan) and the queen (played by Minnie Dreyver), and the mouse transformed into a maid (one of which is played by filmmaker James Corden). The film also features pop songs as the soundtrack, and the actors' cultural backgrounds are diverse, with Billy Potter playing the role of the modern fairy godmother Fab Potter in the film.

I Am Your Man
There is a long history of films in which male scientists manufacture female-looking robots to satisfy their every need. I Am Your Manis a rarity: a film about a male-looking robot designed to serve a woman. Directed and co-written by Maria Schrader, this sci-fi romance features Maren Eggert as a divorced anthropologist who agrees to test-drive an android that is programmed to be her perfect partner. The android (Dan Stevens, speaking fluent German) moves into her home, where he cooks, cleans, and does a lot more besides. But can the anthropologist's newfound happiness be real when her partner isn't? "The robot is a catalyst for self-reflection and self-doubt in this comedy-drama that's as thought-provoking as it is funny," says Anna Smith in Deadline. "And in an age of isolation, social media and online dating,I'm Your Manseems startlingly relevant."
