Why watch this film?
Directed by Dave Franco (The Rental) and cowritten by him and his wife, Alison Brie (Horse Girl) this Prime Video film is a romantic comedy with a few melancholic notes, in a similar mood as My Best Friend’s Wedding. Somebody I Used to Know follows a woman (Brie) as she returns to her hometown and runs into an old flame (Jay Ellis), after a professional failure leads her to question her life decisions. Things get more complicated when she meets his new fiancée (Kiersey Clemons), who reminds her of who she was in her younger days. Even if its story is a little predictable, it’s carried by well-developed characters that are easy to root for as they learn valuable life lessons.

The Rental
Dave Franco's (Neighbors, 21 Jump Street) highly anticipated directorial debut, 'The Rental', pays homage to slasher films while looking to the future. He utilizes all the genre's clichés and attributes (stupid decisions, who will die first, etc.) but with a modern twist. The story follows a group of friends who decide to rent a secluded house on Airbnb. From there, the horror and cat-and-mouse chase ensue. It's not an exceptional horror film, but it certainly brings a much-needed freshness to the genre and is truly entertaining--thanks in part to some great plot twists. Enjoy with popcorn, soda, and an open mind for fun.
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
Miss Novak joins the staff of an international boarding school to teach a conscious eating class and forms a strong bond with five students that eventually takes a dangerous turn.
Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio presenter who, unexpectedly, finds himself in charge of a bankrupt and falling apart radio station. 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.
