“No Time to Die”

Daniel Craig’s final Bond movie is finally 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). This film is apparently a tearjerker.

“Cinderella”

Now, there is another “Cinderella” that actually seems to belong in the 21st Century. Written and directed by Kay Cannon (screenwriter of “Pitch Perfect” and director of “Blockers”), 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.

“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”

He used to be a minor comic character: a half-forgotten, stereotypical martial artist who first appeared in 1973 to cash in on Bruce Lee mania and the kung fu television series. But now Shang-Chi is a big deal. “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” is the first of Marvel’s superhero blockbusters to have an Asian lead character, and all of its main actors — including Awkwafina, Michelle Yeoh, Tony Leung, and Simu Liu as Shang-Chi himself — are Asian or of Asian descent.

“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 Man” is 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?

《007:无暇赴死》

《007:无暇赴死》终于要上映了。作为丹尼尔•克雷格的最后一部邦德电影,距离上一部《007:幽灵党》已经过去了整整6年。本片由凯瑞•福永担任导演并和菲比•沃勒-布里奇(作品有《伦敦生活》和《杀死伊芙》)一起编写剧本,讲述了特工007从军情六处退休,计划和女友(蕾雅•赛杜饰演)从此安顿下来,并将拯救世界的重任交给新00号特工拉什纳•林奇。但是邦德在中央情报局的好友菲利克斯•莱特(杰弗里•怀特饰演)说服他去对付邪恶的吕西佛•萨芬(拉米•马雷克饰演)。该片催泪效果十分显著。

《灰姑娘》

如今又有一部《灰姑娘》要上映,看起来这部新片似乎和21世纪更合拍。新片由凯•卡农(曾任《完美音调》编剧和《护航父母》导演)担任编剧和导演,拥有一切你希望在经典童话故事中看到的元素,包括仿中世纪的布景,邪恶的后母(伊迪娜•门泽尔饰演),傲慢的国王(皮尔斯•布鲁斯南饰演)和王后(明妮•德瑞弗饰演),变身为男仆的老鼠(其中一位由电影制片人詹姆斯•柯登饰演)。该片还采用流行歌曲作为配乐,演员的文化背景也很多元,比利•波特在片中饰演现代仙女教母法布•G。最重要的是,灰姑娘(卡米拉•卡贝饰演)宁愿当服装设计师也不愿当王妃,所以她不需要一位英俊的王子(尼古拉斯•加利齐纳饰演)来帮助她过上从此幸福快乐的生活。

《尚气与十环传奇》

伴随着李小龙热和武打剧潮流诞生于1973年的尚气曾经是一个漫画小人物,是一位几乎被遗忘的模式化的武术大师。但现在他的地位变得举足轻重。《尚气与十环传奇》是漫威第一部由亚洲人领衔主演的超级英雄大片,包括奥卡菲娜、杨紫琼、梁朝伟、刘思慕在内的所有主要演员都是亚洲人或亚裔。

《我是你的男人》

电影史上很长一段时间以来,都是男性科学家制造女性外观的机器人来满足自己的各种需求。像《我是你的男人》这样讲述为女性服务的男性外观机器人的电影则很少见。在这部由玛丽亚•施拉德担任导演并参与编剧的科幻爱情片中,一位离异的人类学家(玛伦•艾格特饰演)同意试用一个被编程设定为完美伴侣的机器人。这个能讲一口流利德语的机器人(丹•史蒂文斯饰演)搬进了她的家,在那里做饭、打扫,还做很多其他的事。但是在伴侣不是真人的情况下,这位人类学家新获得的快乐是真实的吗?
