Trailer
Why watch this film?
With a cast featuring Orlando Bloom (of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'The Lord of the Rings' sagas), Freida Pinto ('Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'), Leslie Odom Jr ('Hamilton') and Cynthia Erivo ('Harriet'), 'Needle in a Timestack' follows a passionate couple who get lost due to the interference of a third element, the protagonist's ex-husband. The screenplay is by John Ridley, of '12 Years a Slave' and responsible for the series 'American Crime', here also acting as director. Thus, a time travel plot is built - which is not mentioned in the story, although it is possible to catch in the air what is happening according to how the movie progresses. That's why the feature film is a bit confusing, but we know that our life will always be shaped according to our choices and, deep down, the narrative ends up making us reflect on this. The pace of the production is slow, but it makes us continue - and there is a surprise at the end, making the wait worthwhile.

Shirley
Shirley is an intimate portrayal of the pioneering political icon Shirley Chisholm (portrayed here by Regina King, from Ray and If Beale Street Could Talk), the first Black congresswoman and the first Black woman to run for President of the United States. The film depicts the personal cost this endeavor took on Shirley, as well as the behind-the-scenes of Chisholm's historic presidential campaign, based on extensive and exclusive conversations with family, friends, and those who knew her best. Alongside King, standout performances come from Terrence Howard (Crash) and Lance Reddick (from John Wick).

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
As the world falls, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the wasteland, they encounter the citadel presided over by Immortan Joe. The two tyrants wage war for dominance, and Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
Dredd
In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
It was said about the first installment, and it can be said about Netflix's Rebel Moon (Part Two): it is a movie that only Zack Snyder fans will enjoy. The film continues to be a copy of the classic 'Seven Samurai', but in space: our heroes, led by Kora (Sofia Boutella), return to their small agricultural moon to prepare the defense against the invaders from the Empire. The story unfolds in a predictable manner (even more so if you've seen Kurosawa's classic), with Snyder's usual stylistic vices: overuse of slow motion and gratuitous Christian symbolism. If you liked the previous one (or the director's other movies), you will undoubtedly enjoy it. Otherwise, it might be better to skip it.
