Dune
Only big screens can actually match Frank Herbert’s science-fiction works. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, Dune is a sad film about super powered young heroes on a desert planet. It runs for 155 minutes, but still only covers the first half of the book. A large amount of money is spent on the film, and the cast (演员阵容) is packed with big names.
Antlers
The frightening story of this film is from native American tales about Wendigo. The director, Scott Cooper, asked Professor Grace L Dillon, the most famous expert on the subject, “I was told that it may not be an unreal story for native Americans,” Cooper said. “They truly believe in it, and it means greed (贪婪) and cruelty when we robbed all the resources from the locals.”
The French Dispatch
The 10th film by Wes Anderson, a writer-director, brings great joy to his fans. In this film, he takes his careful style to new extreme. Behind all these carefully prepared skills is a collection of three funny short stories, which are set in a French town probably from the magazine New Yorker in the mid-20th century.
Ron’s Gone Wrong
The cartoon is a family comedy (喜剧). Its hero, Barney, is given what seems to be a perfect toy — a shiny robot which is programmed to be his friend. But the problem is that this, robot, hardly works at all. The film’s co-writer and co-director, Sarah Smith, said, “It is completely out of control and doesn’t follow Barney’s directions. So they have to build their relationship from that point.”

【推荐1】Last week, trailers(预告片) dropped online the same day for three upcoming Hollywood blockbusters(票房大片) —Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
Like other good movie trailers, these trailers are sure to make you excited and curious, and get you talking about them with your friends and family. But how do they do that?
There’s nothing that excites blockbuster audiences more than the promise of action. These trailers are full of it! We see car chases, fights and space battles!
While the trailers show plenty of action, the movies’ stories remain a mystery. But there’s plenty to keep us guessing. Will Indiana Jones travel back in time? Who are these new animal-like transformers and whom must they fight? Will our beloved Rocket Raccoon from Guardians die?
These trailers also dig into nostalgia(怀旧). In the new Indiana Jones movie, we hear the old movies’ iconic(标志性的) music, and Indiana Jones’ looks how he did in the first movie. The Guardians trailer plays a classic nostalgic song, too. Transformers brings in the Beast Transformers from the popular 1990’s animation: Transformers: Beast Wars.
All these things make trailers work and hit us right in the feels. I can’t wait to watch these movies coming out next year.

【推荐3】Most Chinese filmgoers will be familiar with the name of Zhang Yimou, one of the country's most successful and internationally praised film directors. Films such as Raise the Red Lantern and Hero brought his films to the attention of the West, and succeeded in creating a new audience for Chinese cinema.
Born in 1951 , Zhang Yimou spent his youth working on farms and in factories, during which time he developed a love of photography. When the Beijing Film Academy reopened, Zhang Yimou became one of the first students. After graduation, his career as director of photography began.
In 1987 Zhang directed his first film, Red Sorghum, which was a great success. In 1992, Zhang's Raise the Red Lantern was nominated （提名）for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Filmgoers were fascinated by the extraordinary visual （视觉的） beauty of Zhang's films, and by the importance in his stories of his heroines.
In 2002, Zhang made Hero, a martial （武打）arts film set in ancient times but told in a completely different, modern style. Hero achieved great success in the West.
In 2004, Zhang made Houses of the Flying Dragons, another martial arts film, which Zhang described as being “ much more like a modern romantic story." in which the characters devote every other thing for love.
Perhaps one of the keys to Zhang's success as a filmmaker is the fact that his preparations for a film are so detailed. He has said before he starts a project he discusses everything in detail with every single person involved in the film. The result is that when filming starts, everyone understands what is wanted. One thing is certain - Zhang has many more years of successful filmmaking before him.

Ono Seafood Restaurant
Don’t let the lack of parking prevents you from visiting this poke spot where taking your poke home is also a good idea. The menu is super clear: eight kinds of poke with various sauces.
