Why watch this film?
Famous for sparking the ire of the ruler it parodies, The Interview is a political satire directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ( This is the End) about a famous talk show host and his producer, who manage to score an interview with North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un (Randall Park), only to be recruited by the CIA for an assassination mission. Controversy aside, this is a comedy very much in line with the usual work of Rogen and Goldberg: the humor can sometimes veer into adolescent territory, but the good performances from Rogen, Park, and James Franco, plus a script that dares to mock both a dangerous dictator and incompetent media outlets, make it worth a shot.

This Is the End
Seth Rogen ('Superbad'), James Franco ('127 Hours'), Jonah Hill ('The Wolf of Wall Street') and Jay Baruchel ('The Sorcerer's Apprentice') are great friends in real life and, whenever they can, share projects together. This was taken to the nth degree with 'This Is the End', a movie that brings highly fictionalized versions of the stars and other actors and actresses, such as Emma Watson, Michael Cera, Jason Segel, Paul Rudd, Kevin Hart, Channing Tatum and many others. In the story, the group gathers for a party at Franco's house - and the fun starts to unravel. Everything gets worse when the real apocalypse happens, throwing our "heroes" into a survival game. With its raunchy humor, the movie works very well for those who know the actors and will pick up on the inside jokes and references between them. If you're a fan of the cast, laughter is guaranteed. And remember: in case of the end of the world, don't throw a party.
Comedy
A Brighter Tomorrow
Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti (winner of the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room) returns with what has been called his 8½, for obvious reasons. A Brighter Tomorrow is the story of a filmmaker struggling to shoot a movie about the Hungarian Revolution, while trying to save his marriage to his producer wife. The film satirizes the current state of cinema, and perhaps indulges a bit too much in its nostalgia. It is far from the best that veteran Moretti has to offer, but if you've enjoyed his previous films, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one.
City Hunter
'City Hunter' - An exceptional marksman and hopeless playboy, private eye Ryo Saeba reluctantly forms an alliance with his late partner’s sister to investigate his death.
Club Zero

Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll

Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he created one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM. Between guitar solos and signal interference, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz who, on top of that, falls in love with a married announcer.
