Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is a return to the Harry Potter franchise - which, though not strictly based on a book from the wizard's saga, has a screenplay co-written by the creator of the character and its universe: J.K. Rowling. From the feature film, the writer expands the context of the magical universe to the US in the 1920s. The movie has its peculiarities, but benefits from a solid cast and performances by Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Colin Farrell, Ezra Miller, Alison Sudol and Dan Fogler, who clearly steals the show.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
The second part of the 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise, which is a spin-off of the Harry Potter movies, taking place decades before the stories of the famous wizard. Although it makes a greater connection with the main series, including the introduction of a young Dumbledore (played by Jude Law), 'The Crimes of Grindelwald' was extremely criticized by the press and fans, either due to the changes caused in the chronology (known as "retcons"), by script flaws, or even for the choice of Johnny Depp as the villain Gellert Grindewald - the actor was accused of assaulting his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard. Unfortunately, all this broke some of the magic of the production, although it still maintains the fantasy that marks J.K. Rowling's creations. Recommended for 'potterheads', those fans who watched all the films in the saga and who, despite its highs and lows, will continue to follow.
Pain Hustlers
Inspired by journalist Evan Hughes' book and screened at the Toronto Film Festival, "Pain Hustlers" is a Netflix original movie that tells the story of Liza Drake (Emily Blunt), a mother with a sick daughter who loses her job. Desperate, a chance encounter with a questionable sales agent at a pharmaceutical company (Chris Evans) becomes her fast track to economic recovery - and much more. However, the company's dubious morality and a growing awareness of the impact of opioids on society lead Liza to reconsider the decisions that have put her at the center of a criminal conspiracy. Directed by David Yates (responsible for most of the Harry Potter film series), the film explores themes like desperation, economic precarity, and sheer greed but doesn't go much further. It's a superficial look at the opioid crisis in the United States, so it's not the best introduction to the topic. Nevertheless, the cast, led by Blunt and Evans, does a great job, with performances from Andy Garcia (The Godfather: Part III) and Catherine O'Hara (Schitt's Creek) as well.
Fantastic beasts: The secrets of Dumbledore
Third movie of the franchise derived from 'Harry Potter', 'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore' is the feature film with the responsibility of correcting the course of Newt Scamander's story and company. After all, after an absolutely unstable second movie, David Yates returns to the direction trying to make the magic return to the wizard world. To do this, he makes some changes (Mads Mikkelsen instead of Johnny Depp) and looks more closely at the first movie, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them', which is the best rated of the franchise. There is still no heart in the story, which seems not to know which way to go or which story to tell. Still, the fight against the wizard Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) awakens the enthusiasm of the fans. The absolute highlight is the cast, especially Mikkelsen and Jude Law as Dumbledore, who dive headfirst into their characters and raise the overall quality (and excitement) of the feature film.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
With 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix', the franchise of the wizard played by Daniel Radcliffe takes on the face, form and tone that follows the films up to the 'Fantastic Beasts' spin-offs. After all, director David Yates takes the lead of the story and puts a plasticity, almost an industrial rhythm in what is done, bringing a typical English conduct to the saga. It's slower, more contemplative, things get stranger - in the good and bad sense. In addition, there are many political subplots, due to the interference of the Ministry of Magic. However, contrary to what may seem, the film is one of the most exciting of the saga, with Harry teaching spells to students, Dumbledore showing his powers and, finally, engaging in the famous battle against Lord Voldemort, already alive and powerful.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Last movie before the double conclusion of the saga, 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' is a peek over the shoulder into Hogwarts' and Voldemort's past. Instead of moving forward, David Yates uses the film as a point of observation of the past. It is here that Harry and Dumbledore draw closer and begin to investigate Lord Voldemort's past more deeply. Furthermore, it is worth noting that it is one of the least faithful films to Rowling's books, with several passages suppressed and others transformed -- many fans, by the way, still haven't forgiven the subway flirting. However, it is the film that gives the most layers to Professor Snape's character and has a sad and melancholic ending that should leave any fan in awe.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2
After an introduction to the conclusion of the saga, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' arrives with the responsibility of putting a final point in the story of Harry, Ron and Hermione. And it does so with honor, in an energetic, strong and impactful way. After all, just like 'Toy Story 3', which followed the maturity of those who watched the films and were moved by the farewell of the toys, the last chapter of the official Harry Potter saga shows the characters leaving, magical environments being destroyed and delicious worlds that will never be visited again. And it's hard not to vibrate and be moved by the last scenes, while seeing the characters, who accompanied generations, saying goodbye.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
Due to the large amount of material in the last book of the 'Harry Potter' saga, Warner Bros. opted to divide it into two parts. Thus, in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1', what we see is a necessary introduction to the war to be fought between Voldemort and the rest of the magical world. Here, Yates bets on a kind of road movie, with the trio Harry, Ron and Hermione away from the magical world of Hogwarts and trying to survive in a scenario of despair. Like 'Order of the Phoenix' and 'Half-Blood Prince', it is a calmer and contemplative film, despite the chaos that begins to settle in. The emotion comes from the last 15 minutes, when the script takes a turn, shows the death of a beloved character and indicates that the next film will spare no one.
Action
The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is one of those films that seem designed to have it all and thus please the broadest audience possible. Based on the 1980s series of the same name and directed by David Leitch (former stunt double and now director of films like Bullet Train and Deadpool 2), the movie follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a down-on-his-luck stunt double who must investigate the mysterious disappearance of actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as this would ruin the first movie of his beloved, filmmaker Jody (Emily Blunt). And the major problem with this movie is that it tries to be everything: romantic comedy, action comedy, Hollywood satire, crime mystery, and more, hampered by the magnitude of its own ambitions, as well as an overloaded and unclear script. You can enjoy it as an insight into the world behind action cinema, and for the charisma of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.
Money
In this high-stakes action thriller, two pharmaceutical executives are about to get away with stealing $5 million until an uninvited houseguest derails their plans and holds them hostage during an all-night standoff. Featuring a powerful ensemble cast, including Jesse Williams, Kellan Lutz and Jess Weixler, MONEY is a chilling lesson in greed that will keep you guessing until the very end!
Deadpool & Wolverine
Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
