‘Hypnotic’ Nothing is what it seems in “Hypnotic,” a mind-bending conspiracy thriller from Robert Rodriguez (“Sin City,” “Spy Kids”). Ben Affleck stars as a police detective who is haunted by the disappearance of his daughter. He is investigating a series of bank robberies when a mystery woman (Alice Braga) tells him about “hypnotics” — people who have the power to make others believe and do anything they want by uttering a single sentence. ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3’ It’s been six years since Marvel’s second “Guardians of the Galaxy” film came out. Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Rocket (Bradley Cooper), Drax (Dave Bautista) and their buddies are finally back for more interstellar swashbuckling — and this time they’re up against the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji). ‘The Little Mermaid’ A black actress, Halle Bailey, is playing the title character, who was white in the 1989 cartoon. Besides, the film’s director, Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Mary Poppins Returns”), argues that his version of “The Little Mermaid” is progressive in other ways, too. He said, she and Prince Eric “really teach the world about prejudice and about breaking down barriers and walls between these two worlds.” ‘Fast X’ It’s the 10th film in the unstoppable petrolhead series (or the 11th if you include “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”), a franchise which started with indie thrillers about undercover cops and illegal street racers and now encompasses global science-fiction blockbusters featuring some of Hollywood’s biggest names. The new additions this time are Jason Momoa as the vengeful son of a drug lord killed in “Fast Five” (2011); Rita Moreno as the grandmother of Dom (Vin Diesel) and Mia (Jordana Brewster); and Brie Larson as their contact in the secret service. ‘The Eight Mountains’ All of the mountains in “The Eight Mountains” are unspoilt, idyllic and breathtakingly beautiful. Some of them are in the Himalayas, but most are in the Italian alps, where Pietro, a city boy from Turin, befriends Bruno, the only child left in a remote rural village. Adapted from Paolo Cognetti’s award-winning novel, Charlotte Vandermeersch and Felix van Groeningen’s spectacularly scenic drama is a sensitive chronicle of their friendship through the decades.
