Trailer
Why watch this film?
Mix of 'Indiana Jones' and 'The Da Vinci Code', 'National Treasure' is one of those kid-friendly adventures that will keep anyone entertained. Here, Nicolas Cage is the protagonist of a delightful exploration story to have fun, be entertained and dive in. Obviously, the star is much more behaved, in one of his most sympathetic performances. However, it is very interesting to know this kid-friendly side of the actor, who ended up becoming a renowned figure for new generations due to the various showings of 'National Treasure' on Globo TV's Afternoon Session.

From the same director
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Just like in 'National Treasure', star Nicolas Cage sought to reach a younger audience with 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'. It worked: the movie, which rode the wave of successes like 'Harry Potter' and repeated director Jon Turteltaub's signature (from 'Shark Tale' and 'Last Vegas Trip'), brought magic to a playful and fun universe while telling the story of a powerful wizard (Cage) who, to fight a great enemy (Alfred Molina, wonderfully cartoonish), ends up recruiting a normal young man. But of course, he ends up having powerful hidden powers and becomes a sorcerer's apprentice. And so, without great surprises, the movie reveals itself as a very pleasant entertainment for all kinds of audiences looking for a light, pleasant and not exaggerated story. There are intrigues, lots of magic, interesting special effects. And the main thing: there is a visibly excited Nicolas Cage conjuring spells and, once again, fighting evil.
The Meg
In terms of pure escapism and free of pretense, "Megatubarão" delivers what it promises. With a plot and performances that don't take themselves too seriously, this movie offers action in the purest blockbuster style (with a dash of terror thrown in). The protagonist is Jason Statham ('Parker'), a familiar face in this type of production. If you don't have high expectations and want almost two hours of entertainment, this movie is for you.
Adventure
The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar
After the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth, DETHKLOK frontman Nathan Explosion finds himself traumatized in a BRUTAL professional and romantic flat-spin all while he is tasked with fulfilling the prophecy and confronting the ultimate songwriting challenge: write the SONG OF SALVATION and save the planet. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia?
Richard: The Stork
A charming animation full of adventure and vibrant colors in a story about leadership and maturity. The film tells the story of Richard, a brave sparrow adopted by a family of storks, and his journey to find a lost jewel while leading a group of oppressed birds. The sequel maintains the essence of the original, while exploring themes of friendship and self-knowledge, with valuable lessons reminiscent of Disney classics.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
The third official installment in the Ghostbusters saga, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, was a sequel that worked due to its nostalgic and self-referential spirit: it acknowledged the passage of time and the separation of the original group (in front of and behind the cameras), paying homage and passing the torch to a new generation. The sequel seems to throw all that out the window. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire continues the story of Phoebe Spengler (Mckenna Grace) and her family as the new Ghostbusters, back in New York to fight the paranormal. However, gradually, subplots involving new characters (Kumail Nanjiani is one of the best) as well as others already introduced in the new generation begin to emerge, but there's also a return of almost all the classic characters. The result is an unnecessarily complicated web of subplots and an overload of characters, which ends up diluting the impact of the film's most fun and emotional ideas. It's not a disaster, but it definitely would have worked better if it had embraced the innovative spirit of its predecessor to let go of the past.
