Why watch this film?
In 1988, a new group revolutionized music and pop culture, transforming and influencing hip hop forever. The first album of N.W.A, "Straight Outta Compton", caused controversy with its honesty about life in South Los Angeles. Guided by veteran manager Jerry Heller, the group members Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, DJ Yella and MC Ren navigate the music industry, gain fame, fortune and a place in history. It is this journey that is told in a direct and talented way in 'Straight Outta Compton'. In the feature film, despite the exaggerated 2h47 duration, director F. Gary Gray ('Fast & Furious 8') manages to imprint strength and personality in this story so important for American music and the black community living in the United States.

Men in Black: International
Fourth movie in the 'Men in Black' franchise, originally based on Malibu Comics (now part of Marvel) comics. This time, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones' characters are out of the picture, and a story largely set in Europe takes their place. The new protagonists are played by Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, reviving the chemistry seen previously in 'Thor: Ragnarok', with a special mention to Liam Neeson's presence. Unfortunately, although entertaining, the movie fails to mimic the impact of the first 'Men in Black: International', without adding anything truly innovative or surprising. It's only worth it for the unpretentious fun and the aforementioned chemistry between the actors.
Lift
It seems that heist stories raise the bar higher and higher to impossible levels: each one must be riskier, more unbelievable, and crazier in its premise. As a perfect example, this film by F. Gary Gray (Fast and Furious 8). In Lift, we follow the thief Cyrus Whitaker (Kevin Hart, in an unusual role more inclined to action than humor), who is discovered by authorities. His only way out to avoid jail is to gather his accomplices and execute an impossible heist: stealing 500 million dollars in gold mid-flight at 12 thousand meters altitude. It's an incredible concept that, while executed in a somewhat generic manner, maintains interest in its eventual resolution and features an international cast clearly designed to appeal to audiences from all continents. Among the names, we find Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Loki), Vincent D’Onofrio (Daredevil), Spanish actress Úrsula Corberó (Money Heist), and French actor Jean Reno (The Professional), among others.
The Fate of the Furious
As with its predecessor in the saga, 'The Fate of the Furious' increases the levels of absurdity and the "massave factor" - which is when a movie seeks the most extraordinary and improbable sequences to satisfy the fan, who, of course, will punctuate the feature with exclamations like "how cool, man!" In addition, the female cast is turbocharged with the presence of Charlize Theron ('Atomic') and Helen Mirren ('RED'), transforming the franchise's cast into the biggest action movie supergroup in history. Perfect for those who just want to have fun.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
