Trailer
Why watch this film?
"Stepmom" was a very popular movie in the Afternoon Session in the 2000s, and one of the saddest too. It's hard not to be moved by the relationship built by the characters of Susan Sarandon, nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance, and Julia Roberts. What starts as a female dispute becomes a very beautiful friendship, showing that women need to unite - even in the most unexpected situations. It is recommended to watch with a tissue, because crying is almost inevitable in "Stepmom".

The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two
Kurt Russell is back as Santa Claus in this Christmas adventure and, this time, he is joined by Goldie Hawn as Mrs. Claus. The actors acted together for the first time in 'Overboard' from 1987, and years later they showed that they still have an excellent chemistry on screen. This sequel managed to keep the magic of the first movie and leave the way open for another production. 'The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two' is a spirited, lighthearted, and realistic production, despite being fanciful. A downside of the movie is its length, it could be shorter since it doesn't have such a complex script that requires two hours to be solved.
Pixels
Imagine Chris Columbus (director of 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', 'The Perfect Nanny') directing Adam Sandler in a videogame movie. The result is 'Pixels', a strange but fun feature film. Here, aliens understand that a message with videogames is a declaration of war. From then on, they attack Earth using these games as models for their various offensives. Salvation ends up focusing on Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), a champion of video game competitions in the 80s to lead a team of veteran players (Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad), defeat the aliens and save the planet. It's a fun movie, although it never decides between nostalgia and silliness, which should entertain everyone from the youngest to the oldest. After all, despite Adam Sandler in the cast, it's a light and friendly comedy, as Columbus has become accustomed to doing. Oh, and be sure to pay attention to the references to classic games.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was the litmus test for the magical world created by JK Rowling on the big screen. And, thankfully, it was a great success. Director Chris Columbus drew inspiration from his experience with family-friendly children's stories such as "Home Alone" and "Mrs. Doubtfire" to create an introduction to the magical world of Harry Potter worthy of the books. There are childlike adventures, a school atmosphere, and above all, moments of true enchantment, such as the plots against Professor Snape, Quidditch training, and levitation classes. It is the lightest movie in the franchise and serves as an invitation to people of all ages to enter the magical corridors of Hogwarts Castle.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
After directing the first movie of the saga, Chris Columbus returns behind the cameras of 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'. Although the director's childlike tone remains, showing a style reminiscent of 1980s Afternoon Session classics, the saga already has a more youthful feel and, above all, there is an aggravation in the clash of the two franchise rivals: Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. In addition, it begins to explore even more the personalities of the three protagonists, Harry, Ron and Hermione, and deepen the participation of characters such as Hagrid and Dumbledore. It is the consolidation of the formula and stories seen in the first movie, gaining momentum and reaching new audiences.
Drama
Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
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.
