Why watch this film?
Directed, written, produced and edited by Ed Wood, 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' was considered by many critics of its time as the worst movie ever made. Does it really deserve this title? From a technical point of view, the movie is indeed bad. It features terrible performances, simplistic production, an editing that does not favor the rhythm (despite the short duration) and a confusing script, but is that enough for the title? Besides the technical (de)merit, there are many other things to be considered, and context is essential: Ed Wood had very little knowledge or filmmaking skills, and yet he still worked hard to make his movies, because he had a passion for the work. 'Plan 9' was filmed with a very low budget in just three weeks, and there were still several complications on the set, such as the death of one of the actors. Even so, he overcame the problems and finished the movie, which also has positive merits, such as the idea of combining aliens and zombies, long before they gained mainstream popularity. The filmmaker was one of the first to work with micro-budgets, which influenced his aesthetics and final results, one could even say that he was a precursor of the campy aesthetic. Thus, despite everything, Ed Wood was a pioneer in several aspects, and managed to become a renowned author.

The Animal Kingdom
The Animal Kingdom is an ambitious French film that blends magical realism with our recent pandemic traumas to propose an intriguing story about intolerance and otherness. The story is set in France, in a world where an unexplained wave of mutations is turning humans into animals. To care for his mutated mother, a boy (Paul Kircher) moves with his father (Romain Duris) to a village in a wooded region of France, but as he begins to adjust to his new life, he starts turning into an animal himself. The film presents rich dichotomies (the natural world vs. civilization, normativity vs. divergence, repression vs. freedom) and features well-crafted visual effects that suggest perhaps it is those who hate, oppress, and try to control nature who are the most beastly and irrational.

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is the fourth installment of the saga in its original continuity. Set in the (then) near future of the 1990s, the film portrays a society in which apes have been enslaved by humanity, until one more evolved than the rest instigates a revolution that represents the fall of the human race. In addition to closing the line of events leading to the story of the original, this film also shares several narrative elements with what would be its reboot: here we meet Caesar, played by Roddy McDowall, and later by Andy Serkis in the new movies.

Ultraman: Rising
Ultraman: Rising is a charming Netflix animation that puts the traditional Japanese character in the perspective of children. In the story, Ken Sato, a baseball superstar, returns to Japan to become the newest hero to take on the mantle of Ultraman. His plans go awry, however, when he is forced to raise a newborn kaiju monster, the offspring of his greatest enemy, as his own child. Sato will also have to deal with his relationship with his estranged father and the schemes of the Kaiju Defense Force. A film for the little ones, but one that also finds space to awaken the child within each of us.
