Sneakerella (2022)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
The adventure of Cinderella - or 'Sneakerella', as you prefer - continues to fascinate, and now inspires a new story. This time, the fairy tale really got a new face, as the protagonist is a black boy and the glass slipper is a cool sneaker. This change of gender and the diversified characters give a modern twist to the narrative. Thus, 'Sneakerella' is a good mix of 'High School Musical' with 'In a New York Neighborhood' - without the dose of realism of the latter, since it is a feature with the plastic and dreamy aesthetics of Disney. Some characters deserved more screen time, but it's fun to see the usual Cinderella roles occupied by opposite genders - a fairy godmother, even, had already been seen in the Prime Video version, 'Cinderella', with Camila Cabello. 'Sneakerella', without a doubt, gives a great makeover to the story and manages to deliver the entertainment it proposes.

Careful What You Wish For
The singer Nick Jonas does well in the role of an 18-year-old young man who is going to spend the summer with his family by a lake. Needing money, the boy accepts the offer of a banker to fix his yacht. However, the wealthy man's wife entangles him in a web of seduction and crime. It may seem cliché, but the twists and turns manage to escape the ordinary.
Purple Hearts
Based on Tess Wakefield's novel 'Purple Hearts', the movie promises to be much more than a romantic drama. It is a story where hope blossoms between two people with very different views of the world around them: an artist and a navy seal who, despite their differences, fall in love. The story is a celebration for all those who have ever been in love, and also offers strong doses of emotion. The movie stars Sofia Carson ('Feel the Beat') and, in addition, also offers something for music lovers.
