From the same director
A Simple Favor
Filmmaker Paul Feig is most known for comedies that put women at the center of the story, such as "Spy" and "The Heat," or even the remake of "Ghostbusters." For "A Simple Favor," the director takes a different approach by making a thriller, though with humorous elements and maintaining female protagonism. Anna Kendrick ("The Accountant") and Blake Lively ("Gossip Girl") have great chemistry on screen, helping to keep viewers intrigued until the end of the story.
Last Christmas
If you like sweet romantic comedies set during the holiday season, you know what to expect here. 'Last Christmas' follows all that is expected of the subgenre, set to the music of George Michael (and his former duo with Andrew Ridgeley, Wham!) - including 'Last Christmas', which is also the original title of the movie. That's why the script is well-worn and full of clichés. If that's not a problem for you, you'll find a movie to warm your heart. The cast is star-studded, featuring Emilia Clarke ('Game of Thrones'), Henry Golding ('Crazy Rich Asians'), Emma Thompson (from 'Sense and Sensibility', as well as being a screenwriter), Michelle Yeoh ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'), and directed by Paul Feig ('A Simple Favor').
Bridesmaids
Paul Feig is one of those directors who always strive to bring female stories, even though he is not a woman, immersed in romance and comedy. With 'Bridesmaids' it is no different. As outrageous as 'The Spy Who Dumped Me' and 'The Heat', the feature film makes fun of a group of bridesmaids who create a real chaos in the bride's life (Maya Rudolph, less funny than usual). It's a silly movie, like 'The Hangover', but with a focus on women's relationships and what comes out of it. The absolute highlight is Kristen Wiig ('Sisters Disaster'), who stars in the film and also scripts it. But also calling attention, and with hilarious scenes, a different Melissa McCarthy and the always great Rose Byrne.
Ghostbusters
After three decades of "false starts" to create the long-awaited 'Ghostbusters III', and following the sad passing of one of the original actors, Harold Ramis, director Ivan Reitman decided not to direct the project, and put a new director in charge. The chosen one was Paul Feig ('Bridesmaids'), who opted not to continue the story, but to reinvent it with an ensemble cast of established comedians in the lead roles: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. Despite having been boycotted and battered by fans of the originals (justifiably or not), the 2016 'Ghostbusters' is a decent family entertainment, whose real sin is practically telling the same story (eccentric scientists decide to prove the existence of ghosts, and end up defending New York City from them). It's a fun movie that yes, feels unnecessary for those who have seen the original, but that can definitely work to introduce the franchise to younger fans.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Megalopolis
An architect wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia following a devastating disaster.
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.
