QU'EST-CE QU'ON FAIT A ENCORE FAIT AU BON DIEU? (SERIAL (BAD) WEDDINGS 2)

Recommended. I laughed quite a few times. Further predjudices are added to the ones from part 1. But the well-known protagonists still have their adorable foibles. The scene of meeting a daughter's fiance in a restaurant is recreated with different protagonists. Great music till the end of the credits. Now I feel like seeing the first part again.

X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX IMAX 3D

Recommended. I much prefer 4DX. 3D at Imax is just satisfactory and the huge screen lets you spot more wrinkles on Magneto's face or a hand sticking out of a shield in one of the combat scenes but the crash and flares of light made a bigger impression in 4DX. Still, the movie's worth seeing again. It was only at the second time that I noticed Christian inspirations in the picture. Jean is coaxed by the alien woman on the high floor of a building the way the Christ was tempted on a mountain, next she makes a cripple walk and then she gets crucified (with safety belts). The movie's deeper than it seems. 

The "Men in Black: International" trailer at Imax looked little short of spectacular.

ALADDIN

Recommended. The old oriental tale (shot in Jordan) gets a modern social twist but retains the opulence associated with the Orient, lavish costumes, naturally looking CGIs, dancing and singing incl. songs by Will Smith and the actor in the leading role Mena Massoud - looking hot and dashing in the movie. Beautiful and magical. You can even forgive them for making it into a musical. The story alterations mean everyone has a mind of their own: the princess, the genie and even the magic carpet. 

ALADDIN 3D

Recommended. This version is only dubbed in Polish but the songs in Polish are even better than in the original. It's still witty at times, especially the dating bits, even with changed dialogues. And I discovered further items in this detail-rich movie.
