Bad Boys – Ride or Die

Bad Boys For Life stood out as a fairly successful comeback and without Michael Bay, as it was the Belgians Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah who got the project. You don’t change a winning team and that’s why the same duo is back at the helm in this fourth installment, in which Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will be back in action… but this time on the other side of the barrier: The famous Miami cops are hunted by everyone and across the countryAs is usual with the saga, you have to come here for a good portion of action, strong stunts and consistently present humor: In short: fun, some will say. The trailer speaks for itself.

• director : Adil El Arbi and Bilal Fallah
• With : Martin Lawrence, Will Smith and Vanessa Hudgens

Love lies bleeding

One of the most interesting projects of the month. Love Lies Bleeding tells the destructive love story of Lou (Kristen Stewart), a gym manager with a troubled past who falls in love with bodybuilder Jackie (Katy O’Brian). Together they will experience an incredible, deadly adventure, sometimes garish and often dark, but always tormented: with its distinct 80s atmosphere, its omnipresent neon lights, Dave Franco’s mullet cut or even a transformed Ed Harris (note the cast, stunning). This thriller promises to be poignant and quite refreshing. We owe this to Rose Glass, an Englishwoman who Saint Maud already signed in 2021.

• Cinema release: June 12, 2024
• director : Rose glass
• With : Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian, Anna Baryshnikov

The Guardians

A small, isolated community deep in a forest, surrounded by strange and terrifying creatures… Does this remind you of anything? If “The Watchers” is a little reminiscent of the film “The Village”, it’s not for nothing: it is directed by Ishana Shyamalan, the daughter of Night Shyamalan, and the influences are palpable. Here we find ourselves in a very twisted horror thriller in which a young woman gets lost in the forest: she is taken in by a small group and then has to apply the rules of the place, namely letting herself be watched every night by some really scary creatures. Yes, an absolutely nightmarish pitch, but one that supports a frankly interesting production and a result that we hope will be convincing. Fear, yes, but also a fair amount of psychological stress that makes us say that “Les Guetteurs” has real potential. Come on, we believe it.

The Bikers

When Kathy falls under the spell of Benny, who belongs to the dangerous biker gang igamesnewss, it is the crazy love between two beings who are complete opposites. The problem is that they do not lead really compatible lives anyway. The second problem is that the gang is led by a leader who is not very open-minded and for whom loyalty means a lot. The third problem, The thing is, Benny really doesn’t know what to do between leaving his group, for which he has already given up everything, and a woman he is deeply in love with. With this tortured love story, Jeff Nichols (Mud On the Banks of the Mississippi) wants to paint a portrait of the USA at that time, with a changing society, whose changing rules are even noticeable in the biker gangs, once refuges for the abandoned, which are gradually becoming organizations without faith or law. A film that really catches our eye, and what a cast to boot…

Conversely 2

The first was undoubtedly one of the best thought-out and best directed Pixar films of its time: suffice it to say that we are waiting for the sequel soon. As a reminder, the principle is based on the feelings of a little girl named Riley: each of them, such as joy, anger or fear, is embodied by characters. In their head and subconscious, they act according to their convictions and ultimately map the choices that our heroine will make: Okay, it seems a bit meta, said like that, but Vice-Versa 1 was a real miracle. So for this number 2 we will find our little protagonist, but in early adolescence everything will inevitably be turned upside down: this will mark in particular the appearance of new character traits such as fear. If the studio manages to do as well or even better than the first effort, we take our hats off to them.

The Count of Monte Cristo

French adventure and historical films are certainly enjoying great popularity, and after The Three Musketeers, it is the turn of The Count of Monte Cristo to receive its new big-budget adaptation: this time it is directed by the duo Mathhieu Delaporte / Alexandre De La Patellière (the same one who had already proposed Le Prénom and Le Meilleur will follow), with a certain Pierre Niney in the title role. Well, we won’t lie: the result looks rather controlled, damn effective, epic and with frankly clean photography.

• Cinema release: June 28, 2024
• director : Matthieu Delaporte, Alexandre De La Patellière
• With : Pierre Niney, Bastien Bouillon, Anaïs Demoustier

Types of kindness

Never change a winning team. Director Yorgos Lanthimos, writer of last year’s Poor Creatures, reteams with Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe (note also the addition of Jesse Plemons to the cast) for this new, one-of-a-kind story…or rather, THOSE stories. Arts of Kindness is practically a triptych with three different stories: The first traces a lost man trying to regain control of his life; the second recounts the misadventures of a policeman whose wife, lost at sea, returns changed, and the third tells the fate of a woman with special powers who becomes embroiled in the delirium of a spiritual cult. We already remember that Lanthimos is a popular filmmaker with a particularly sharp tone, that Emma Stone won the Oscar for Best Actress in his company last year (for “Poor Creatures”) and that Jesse Plemons has just won the award for Best Actor at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival for “Arts of Kindness”. In short, you can go there with your eyes closed: see you at the end of June.

• Cinema release: 26 June 2024
• director : Yorgos Lanthimos
• With : Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe

No sound: Day 1

After two quite popular films, the universe of Without a Sound expands with this prequel subtitled “Day 1”, starring Lupita Nyong’o: As the name suggests, The film tells us about the first moments of the alien invasion that silenced humanity. A disaster and horror film, with a conscious tendency towards relentless action and in a much more urban setting: enough to breathe new life into the saga, hoping that it will still manage to stand out from other feature films in the genre that have already tackled the subject in depth over the decades. Note that the director is Michael Sarnoski, the man behind the 2021 film Pig, starring Nicolas Cage, which was quite well received by the press (average 3.7 out of 5 at Allociné).

• Cinema release: 26 June 2024
• director : Michael Sarnoski
• With : Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn (VII), Alex Wolff
