Why watch this film?
The rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda on the racetracks was one of the most interesting in Formula 1 history. After all, we had Lauda's focus and cool blood against Hunt's bon-vivant and charismatic attitude, in a rivalry that also represented a time of transformation for the sport. All this seasoned with the tragic accident of the Austrian in the Nuburgring circuit, with the Ferrari driver not only surviving but overcoming terrible burns to return to the racetracks and continue competing for the 1976 world title. 'Rush' is a movie that recounts the main events of that fateful year, with great direction by Ron Howard ('A Beautiful Mind') and meticulously recreated racing sequences. Daniel Brühl and Chris Hemsworth are great in their roles as the iconic drivers, in a feature film that delivers the right amount of action on the tracks and the human drama of the athletes and their teams.

Frost/Nixon
The impeachment process (and resignation) of President Richard Nixon was one of the most traumatic political events in modern United States history. This cleverly-directed movie by Ron Howard (Oscar winner for A Beautiful Mind) portrays the behind-the-scenes of what happened after Nixon's departure, when the politician granted a controversial interview to talk show host David Frost. It's a great story about power and journalism, turned into first-rate entertainment. Special mention goes to the always outstanding Frank Langella as Nixon.

Pavarotti
Luciano Pavarotti is part of history as one of the most recognized, powerful, and popular opera voices of the second half of the 20th century. However, the documentary 'Pavarotti', directed by Ron Howard ('The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years', 'A Beautiful Mind') goes beyond his musical career, as it also explores the legacy of popularizing opera, as well as the singer's personal life and activism. It is in this last aspect that the documentary paints a very direct portrait of the man behind the legend, with the help of interviews from family members and unseen footage from archives, making it ideal for fans of the singer.

A Beautiful Mind
Based on the book of the same name, which won a Pulitzer Prize, the movie tells the story of John Nash, a mathematician who faced the effects of schizophrenia to win the Nobel Prize in Economics for his Game Theory. Despite making some mistakes in portraying some facts of Nash's life, the feature film brings a brilliant performance by Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly, winning four Oscars - including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (for Jennifer) and Best Director.

Solo: A Star Wars Story
"Solo: A Star Wars Story" is part of that series of films parallel to the main "Star Wars" franchise, which adds elements and facts to the mythology created by George Lucas - just as "Rogue One" had done. In this movie, we discover how Han Solo became the most beloved lawbreaker of the fans and his first contact with characters that later became memorable (including Chewbacca). The story adds many interesting elements, such as the origin of the personality of the Millennium Falcon, which is mentioned in the classic films. The direction is by Ron Howard (Oscar winner for "A Beautiful Mind"), who delivers a competent job despite the troubled backgrounds. The result is a fun movie that, although it is not innovative or surprising, fulfills its main function: entertain fans and newcomers.

Apollo 13
After Neil Armstrong's first steps on Earth, NASA has already begun preparations to return to the natural satellite. The mission, in this case, would be with the Apollo 13 spacecraft. However, nothing went right: a short time after takeoff, an oxygen tank exploded and the trio of astronauts only saw the Moon from afar. The mission was aborted and they had to return as quickly as possible to Earth. This surreal story is recorded in the movie "Apollo 13", starring Tom Hanks ("Saving Private Ryan") and directed by Ron Howard ("Inferno"). Jim Lovell (Hanks) is the captain of the ship, which also includes astronauts Fred (Bill Paxton) and Jack (Kevin Bacon). Like "Gravity" and even "Alien: The Eighth Passenger," "Apollo 13" is a great movie to entertain with the countless possibilities - many of them frightening - in space. And, as a bonus, it creates intimate bonds with the trio of protagonists, who came so close to repeating the incredible feat of taking a few steps on the Moon. To have fun.

In the Heart of the Sea
Moby Dick has become one of the greatest classics of literature of all time. It's no wonder, the tome has been translated into dozens of languages, adapted for the cinema and TV and still arouses curiosity. In the Heart of the Sea, instead of adapting the book literally, delves into the story that inspired Herman Melville's classic. With this, the viewer finds an intense movie about a whaling ship that, deservedly, is attacked by a giant whale. Exciting and with an afflictive direction by Ron Howard (Rush: No Limite da Emoção), the feature film is one of those movies that make you feel afraid of the secrets that the sea holds. Highlight for the performances of Chris Hemsworth (from Thor: Ragnarok), Cillian Murphy (Inception), Brendan Gleeson (Calvary) and Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Far From Home). To grab the popcorn, sit on the couch and have fun.

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The movie is the first adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book to the big screen and was a box office success upon its release in 2001 – despite some slip-ups when it came to the source material. The film tells the story of Grinch (Jim Carrey), a green creature who hates the Christmas spirit and does everything he can to ruin Christmas. The movie directed by Ron Howard ('A Beautiful Mind') received three Oscar nominations, taking home the statuette in the Best Makeup category.

Backdraft
Although it is almost as interesting a profession as police officers and journalists, firefighters seem forgotten in the world cinema landscape. There are only a few comedies ('Playing with Fire', 'The Firemen's Ball') and one or two interesting dramas ('Courage Under Fire'). And one of the most famous examples, without a doubt, is 'Backdraft', a production that mixes drama and action in equal measures under the direction of filmmaker Ron Howard ('A Beautiful Mind', 'Apollo 13'). Here, we follow two firefighter brothers who must join forces to unravel a series of criminal fires that arise in the city where they live. It is a fun movie that helps pass the time, in addition to having an unusual dramatic charge. However, those looking to see a little more of the day-to-day life of firefighters may be disappointed. After all, there is more fiction than truth.

Hillbilly Elegy
Directed by the acclaimed Ron Howard ('The Da Vinci Code', 'A Beautiful Mind') and starring Glenn Close ('The Wife') and Amy Adams ('American Hustle'), the feature film 'Hillbilly Elegy' is one of the biggest disappointments of the 2020-2021 awards season. Previously a possible contender, full of speculation around it, the movie disappointed with its crude tone in some situations and, mainly, by the lack of power of the story of a family living on the margins of American society. Not to mention the mistake of focusing the movie on the grandson, when the absolute protagonist is the grandmother. However, to not say that 'Hillbilly Elegy' is totally bad or disappointing, it is worth saying that the cast is breathtaking, with a standout transformed Glenn Close. It could, and should, have been much better. However, alas, it stayed shallow. Just passable, and barely.

The Da Vinci Code
Writer Dan Brown found a goldmine in mythology and conspiracy theories. After all, he takes advantage of ancient beliefs and myths to develop investigation plots that intertwine with icons, works of art, religion, freemasonry and the like. In 'The Da Vinci Code', his great success, professor Robert Langdon, an expert in symbols and history, embarks on an investigation after the murder of a man at the Louvre in Paris. From there, we delve into a plot with hidden messages in the Mona Lisa, as well as the story of a secret society active for more than two thousand years - did I hear Illuminati? The film that adapts this story, directed by the prolific Ron Howard ('Rush: No Limit of Emotion'), features one of the most unexpected performances of Tom Hanks ('Captain Phillips'), who plays the role of Langdon.

We Feed People
"We Feed People" is a documentary that tells the story of the non-profit organization World Central Kitchen. The narrative begins from its founding by renowned chef José Andrés in 2010, as a small group of volunteers to help those affected by the devastating earthquake in Haiti and become an organization capable of providing first-response food services in countries like the Dominican Republic, Uganda, Peru, and the United States. The story told by the documentary, directed by Ron Howard ("A Beautiful Mind") is truly inspiring and, unfortunately, increasingly relevant in the face of more frequent natural disasters due to climate change.

Thirteen Lives
Nothing will be more shocking than seeing on the screen (even if it's fiction) the rescue of a youth soccer team trapped in the Tham Luang cave in Thailand in 2018. Far from being a sensational movie, Oscar-winning director Ron Howard ('Han Solo: A Star Wars Story') and screenwriter William Nicholson approach this real-life drama in a very intelligent and practical way to bring it to a terrifying and sometimes moving climax, but with a relieving ending. The cast is extremely attractive, featuring performances by Viggo Mortensen ('Crimes of the Future'), Colin Farrell ('Batman') and Joel Edgerton ('Obi-Wan Kenobi').
Action

Furies
An exclusive Vietnamese action and revenge thriller on Netflix that thematically will remind you of "Promising Young Woman", but in action and style it is more reminiscent of "John Wick" and "Kill Bill". Although it is not as refined (or interesting) as its references, "Furies" will leave genre fans satisfied. The plot is somewhat scant: three furious and violent female vigilantes join forces to take down a sinister mafia that has made them victims. There is more substance in the action sequences than in its premise, but if you're looking for something visually impactful and entertaining, you'll like it.

Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village
After his family is viciously murdered, a kind-hearted boy named Tanjiro Kamado resolves to become a Demon Slayer in hopes of turning his younger sister Nezuko back into a human. Together with his comrades, Zenitsu and Inosuke, along with one of the top-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro embarks on a mission within the Entertainment District, where they encounter the formidable, high-ranking demons, Daki and Gyutaro.
