The USA box office is sagging more and more every week, last weekend (08/02/05/08), for example, became the worst in terms of box office this year. A horror about Slenderman, a romantic melodrama with songs by ABBA, a fantastic film about friendship between a man and a robot, a crime thriller with a matured Harry Potter and a tour of London in the 60s will try to disperse the sadness-longing that reigns in the USA box office accompanied by Michael Kane.“Mamma Mia! 2 ". The song helps us to build and live Exactly ten years after the release of the musical "Mamma MIA!" charming characters, singing songs of the cult Swedish band ABBA at every step, are ready to break onto the big screens again.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first Mamma MIA! the rating is 54%, while the sequel keeps the "freshness" bar at 80%. The picture, according to the reviewers, turned out to be bright, energetic, full of humor, dancing and wonderful music, which no, no, and you start singing along, at the same time, there was a place in the film for touching, even tear-squeezing moments. In a word, looking at the rest of the rental news, you understand - “Mamma Mia! 2 "is not the worst option to spend two hours in a cinema hall. "Slenderman". Slim man in black suit Those who prefer a dark atmosphere to colorful Greek landscapes and love horror more than frivolous melodramas can tickle their nerves during the Slenderman session. The tape is based on a popular Internet meme about a skinny figure in a funeral costume, without a face, without colors and without clear intentions. Slenderman becomes a nightmare for many children and adolescents who try to hide from his pursuit, until one day they disappear without a trace. "SLENDERMAN" Duplicated trailer It's amazing what the Internet is capable of. An ordinary meme, invented by Eric Knudsen on the Something Awful forum in 2009, incredibly quickly turned into a real legend, acquired its own mythology and fan base, became the hero of stories, songs, computer games, cosplay, and even several times, alas, served as a reason or explanation for real crimes. Given such fertile ground, the appearance of the film version of Slenderman was a matter of time. However, judging by the reviews of foreign viewers and critics, the new horror icon, as the Screen Gems studio management hoped, did not work out for the creators of the tape. In his home country, "Slenderman" was released on August 10 and now his rating on Rotten Tomatoes is treacherous at around 16%."The film is so bad that it even becomes insulting", - writes the journalist of the portal IndieWire. Taking on one of the 21st century's most gripping and intriguing monsters, director Sylvain White and the team do little to nothing about it. The events of the film develop slowly, mostly in the dark, where you cannot see anything, so watching all this is boring and completely fearless. Much more, according to the reviewers, they were frightened by any lack of logic in the picture, as well as a bottle of beer that fell somewhere in the last rows in the hall. Axel ". Man is a friend to a dog, everyone around him knows that The audience has never seen so many robots in the movies, starting with killer war machines like the Terminator and transforming robots that flew from another planet, ending with the cutest cartoon characters "City of Heroes", "WALL-E" and "Steel Giant". Next week, fans of teenage fiction and all kinds of stories about intelligent mechanical devices in cinemas will have an adventure tape called "Axel". AXEL Dubbed trailer The main character of the film, a teenage motorcyclist Miles, accidentally finds the latest military development in the trash heap, a giant robot dog named Axel. Extraordinary artificial intelligence, coupled with the huge heart of a faithful dog, quickly make Axel the guy's best friend. However, the military does not intend to so easily lose their invention, which has exceeded expectations, and is ready to do anything to get the robot back. The film was directed and written by Oliver Daly, who took as a basis his own short film Miles in 2015 and for which the film Axel will be a feature-length debut. But the main roles went to Alex Nystadter ("Colony"), Thomas Jane ("Expansion") and Becky G. ("Power Rangers"). Dangerous Mission ". The boy who got a job in a drug cartel The last part of the cult Harry Potter franchise was released seven years ago, and all this time, Daniel Radcliffe never tires of proving that he is capable of more than the role of a boy with a scar. Since then, the actor managed to star in the film adaptation of Bulgakov's "Notes of a Young Doctor", grow horns, visit the friend zone, get a job as an assistant to Victor Frankenstein himself, try to deceive the illusionists, survive in the jungle and even play a corpse. This time, Radcliffe decided to try his hand at crime fighters and got a job in a drug cartel.  According to the plot of the film, pilot Sean Haggerty has only an hour to smuggle the illegal cargo of a drug cartel across the Mexican border, while at the same time from the cabin of his plane trying to convince the killer and an agent from the Drug Enforcement Administration that everything is going according to plan, and not let his cancer patient wife. In the US, the chamber thriller was released in February and managed to acquire a 38% rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website. According to critics, although the British actor plays his role 100%, you believe and empathize with his desperate and cornered hero, but the story itself came out painfully hackneyed and full of all kinds of cliches. The main antagonist looks ridiculous, and the script and the structure of the narrative are lame so much that some plot twists even threaten to cut the whole intrigue in the bud. "My Generation". The Decade That Changed the World If none of the full-length feature films have caught your eye, then you can go for a walk along the waves of memory, accompanied by two-time Oscar winner Michael Kane.

The tape, consisting of unique interviews with the heroes of the "British invasion", such as Paul McCartney, David Bailey, Mary Quant and Roger Daltrey, the best music and London, seen through the eyes of Michael Caine, the man who survived these 60s, was released in September 2017 and even managed to receive the Mimmo Rotella Foundation Prize at the Venice Festival.
