The Royal Treatment
The Royal Treatment is a romance movie directed by Rick Jacobson. Isabella (Laura Marano) runs her own salon and isn’t afraid to speak her mind, while Prince Thomas (Mena Massoud) runs his own country and is about to marry for duty rather than love. When Izzy and her fellow stylists get the opportunity of a lifetime to do the hair for the royal wedding, she and Prince Thomas learn that taking control of their own destiny requires following their hearts.
Munich – The Edge of War
Munich – The Edge of War is a British drama movie directed by Christian Schwochow and based on the novel Munich by Robert Harris. It is Autumn 1938 and Europe stands on the brink of war. Adolf Hitler is preparing to invade Czechoslovakia and Neville Chamberlain's government desperately seeks a peaceful solution. With the pressure building, Hugh Legat (George MacKay), British civil servant, and Paul von Hartmann (Jannis Niewöhner), German diplomat, travel to Munich for the emergency Conference. As negotiations begin, the two old friends find themselves at the center of a web of political subterfuge and very real danger.
Ozark – season 4, part 1
The first part of Ozark’s final season is here. Ozark follows the Byrdes – Martin (Jason Bateman) and Wendy (Laura Linney) – who after a money-laundering scheme for a Mexican drug cartel goes wrong, propose to make amends by offering to set up a bigger laundering operation in the Lake of the Ozarks region of central Missouri. Marty suddenly relocates his family from the Chicago suburb of Naperville to the remote summer resort community of Osage Beach, Missouri. When the Byrdes arrive, they become entangled with local criminals, including the Langmore and Snell families, and later the Kansas City Mafia. In Ozark season 4, freedom from the cartel is seemingly within reach, but fraying familial bonds may prove to be the Byrdes' ultimate undoing.
