Why watch this film?
'Red Sparrow' brings an interesting story set during the Cold War - with clear references to Marvel's Black Widow character - and a good twist at the end. There is a lot of violence, good fight scenes, and sexual appeal, but there is a lack of chemistry between the actors, besides Jennifer Lawrence being unfortunately on auto-pilot. The result is a movie that doesn't hook us, but works as entertainment.

From the same director
I Am Legend
Inspired by Richard Matheson's homonymous book, 'I Am Legend' might be the most desolate setting of an epidemic. Here, director Francis Lawrence (from 'The Hunger Games') puts Will Smith's character as the only survivor of a collapsed world -- besides, of course, his companion dog. The rest of the people in the world were infected, turning them into a kind of zombie. As said, it is the most devastating version possible for a viral infection scenario. But the emotion with some scenes, Will Smith's remarkable performance and the comforting ending can serve as good entertainment.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
If the first movie represented a leap of success in cinema for the science fiction literary saga written by Suzanne Collins, the second one consolidated it as a true success that surpassed its predecessor. 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' has the questionable stylistic decisions of the first part, becoming a conventional but effective sequel, bigger and more exciting that, furthermore, ended up cementing Jennifer Lawrence as a great young star of the time.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
After three action-packed films and great moments, the saga of Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence, with her career already established) begins to come to an end with the awaited 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1'. Even though it has the same problem as 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1', another film that closes a saga and that was split into two, with a sometimes too slow tone, this feature film directed by Francis Lawrence knows how to bring the dystopian desolation atmosphere to another level. Desperation takes over and the good cast, with names like Stanley Tucci, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, Stanley Tucci and Woody Harrelson, helps to elevate this franchise film to another level, getting away from juvenile nonsense that took over adaptations like 'Divergent'. It is exciting, it is moving and it starts well the journey to close the saga.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2
Alright, fair enough: the 'Hunger Games' franchise at the movies didn't have nearly the same impact as 'Harry Potter' and 'The Lord of the Rings', two other fantasy sagas inspired by successful books. Still, you can't diminish the quality of the films headed by Jennifer Lawrence ('Silver Linings Playbook'), which mix dystopia with romance and action. In 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2', we are invited to embark on the great finale of the saga, with some of the scenes most awaited by fans of the franchise, such as the clash between Katniss and President Snow. Again, it is not a flawless film, since it has some holes and some narrative voids that tire. However, director Francis Lawrence knows how to give fans what they want most, with some truly anticipated and exciting scenes.
Slumberland
'Slumberland' is a movie inspired by Winsor McCay's comic stories. The plot follows an 11-year-old girl, Nemo (Marlow Barkley), who one night discovers that it is possible to travel through dreams. She is accompanied by an eccentric man known as Flip (Jason Momoa), who accompanies her on her journey in the hope of seeing the father she recently lost. It is a cinematic adaptation with great special effects, great production values and a good cast, even if it lacks heart. Something interesting is to see Jason Momoa in a very different role from his tough characters (like in 'Game of Thrones' or 'Aquaman'), in a movie for the whole family.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
Even though it extended too much in its last chapter, the Hunger Games franchise is very closed, with a good story developing Katniss's (Jennifer Lawrence) journey. Now, staying in the same universe, in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes we follow the story of the saga's biggest villain: President Snow. No longer in old age, played by Donald Sutherland, but in his youth, now played by the talented Tom Blyth. It's a story of personality creation, in which we follow this much-hated character in development — from his harsh childhood, to his youthful brilliance and the complicated romance of Lucy Gray (Rachel Zegler, the film's weak point). Filmmaker Francis Lawrence, who directed all the other films in the franchise, returns to the director's chair and does a good job, bringing elements that have already been successful (such as games, the best scene in the film) with other new features, such as unexpected musical scenes .
Thriller
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
