Set in early-1970s Harlem, If Beale Street Could Talk is a timeless and moving love story of both a couple's unbreakable bond and the African-American family's empowering embrace, as told through the eyes of 19-year old Tish Rivers.
A daughter and wife-to-be, Tish vividly recalls the passion, respect and trust that have connected her and her artist fiancé Alonzo Hunt, who goes by the nickname Fonny. Friends since childhood, the devoted couple dream of a future together but their plans are derailed when Fonny is arrested for a crime he did not commit. Tish knows that Fonny is innocent, and is mindful that his good friend Daniel Carty has only recently been freed after an unjust incarceration. While Fonny's mother clings to piety and his father grapples with feelings of powerlessness, Tish's earthy father Joseph and fierce older sister Ernestine are unwavering in their support. Even more anxious to clear Fonny's name is Tish's deeply compassionate mother Sharon, readying to put herself on the line for her daughter and future son-in-law's happiness... and for the couple's unborn child, whose arrival will herald new joys and challenges.
Facing the unexpected prospect of parenthood and holding down a job without her partner at her side, Tish must adjust her perspective on the realities of her existence while visiting Fonny regularly, trying to shore up his spirit even as prison takes its toll. As the weeks turn to months, Tish reaffirms their hopes and resilience, relying on family and inner strength.
(Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actress. Also nominated for: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Musical Score)
The hotly-anticipated, captivating and immersive retelling of one of the greatest love stories in Greek mythology, in which the god of love, Eros, is pricked by his own cursed arrow and falls for a spirited, fierce young mortal woman, Psyche.
Born into an era of heroes, a prophecy claims that Psyche - Princess of Mycenae - will defeat a monster feared even by the gods themselves. Rebelling against society's traditions, she spends her youth mastering blade and bow, preparing to fulfil her destiny.
But she is soon caught up in powers beyond her control, when the jealous Aphrodite sends the God of Desire, Eros, to deliver a fatal love-curse. The last thing Eros wants is to become involved in the chaos of the mortal world, but when he is pricked by the very arrow intended for Psyche, he is doomed to love a woman who will be torn from him the moment their eyes meet.
Thrown together by fate, headstrong Psyche and world-weary Eros will face challenges greater than they could have ever imagined. And as the Trojan War begins and the whole of the heavens try to keep them apart, will they find their way back to each other before it's too late?
After being recruited by Rebel Alliance leader Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), former criminal Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) is tasked with stealing the plans for the Death Star so that the weapon can be destroyed before it causes damage to the galaxy.
Teaming up with Rebel Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), master swordsman Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen) and a band of hardy freedom fighters, Jyn takes on the might of the Empire in a challenge tougher than anything she could have imagined.
Diego Luna directs this biographical drama based on the life and
achievements of Mexican American civil rights activist and labour
movement leader Cesar Chavez. The film shows how Chavez (Michael
Peña) went from being just another Latino American farm worker to a
passionate and respected spokesperson whose embrace of non-violent
means of protest led to the securing of a living wage for workers
like himself.

Remake of the 1970s British thriller of the same name. When two
American girls, Stephanie (Amber Heard) and Ellie (Odette Yustman),
head off on a cycling tour in rural Argentina, they become
separated from the rest of their group and end up drowning their
sorrows in the local bar, where they soon attract the attention of
every man in the vicinity. When Ellie subsequently disappears,
Stephanie turns to the police for help - only to find that the
local authorities already have their hands full with a string of
unsolved kidnappings targeting young female tourists.
When you choose to become unfiltered and unafraid, YOUR LIFE WILL
CHANGE. Looking at Rachel Luna today, you would never guess what
she has been through. Both her parents died from AIDS, she survived
a cancer diagnosis that upended her life, and she served for a
decade in the United States Marine Corps. However, with every
challenging experience, Rachel noticed herself becoming a more
watered down version of her true self, questioning her every
thought, decision, and action, and filtering each through the
expectations of other people. She finally had a revelation: her
life would stay the same until she became radically honest with
herself and others. In Permission to Offend, certified master coach
Rachel Luna reveals her “Permission Slips†for living in truth,
faith, freedom, and abundance. She delivers actionable steps for
ending validation addiction, recognizing your values and anchoring
your life in them, defining your beliefs, accepting rejection, and
activating your truth. Rachel introduces her Offender Identity
Framework so you can get more of what you want without losing what
matters most. If you have ever wondered what it would feel like to
live completely unfettered by the opinions and judgments of others,
Permission to Offend is for you. It’s time for you to step out of
the corner and into the light. This book will show you how.
