Why watch this film?
Sequel to the 2019 film, 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' starts differently. Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is now a teenager, nearing adulthood, who can transform into a superhero (Levi) when he invokes a sort of mystical power. Now, however, he is not alone: his foster siblings also share the power and begin to defend the city of Philadelphia, in the United States, from villains. This is the case with three Greek gods (Helen Mirren, Rachel Zegler, Lucy Liu) who threaten the superhero family by facing other strong mystical powers. The film doesn't have the brilliance of DC's "independent" productions like 'Batman' and 'Joker', but it's also far from being a disaster like 'Batman v. Superman', 'Justice League', and even 'Wonder Woman 1984'. The film has a certain freshness, similar to that seen in Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad'. Like in the first feature, director David F. Sandberg ('Lights Out') knows that Shazam's story cannot be as grand as Batman's journey on the big screen, for example, or Superman's. He needs to focus on the little, on the closeness of these heroes who are actually teenagers experiencing almost magical powers. That's where the fun and the difference of the film lies, which doesn't take itself too seriously and therefore doesn't make any commitment to the viewer to be grand or opulent. It goes straight to the point, being its main virtue and making the experience the most enjoyable possible in the end.

Annabelle: Creation
The most interesting and "out of the box" movie of the cursed doll franchise. After all, here, filmmaker David F. Sandberg takes advantage of an origin story to create a solid foundation of Annabelle's ancestors and, mainly, creates connections with the first movie of the franchise. With a good amount of scares and many jump scares, the feature ends up going beyond the scary appearances of the doll and the potential frightening of its figure. It has story, it has good characters, it has a scary atmosphere by itself. Obviously, the plot ends up being hostage to some obvious and mandatory solutions involving the 'Conjuring' saga, which ends up reducing a bit of the power of 'Annabelle: Creation' as a movie by itself. But that's okay. Still, it's a fun movie for the end of the day and leaves a horror atmosphere even after the final credits. Highlight for the great Lulu Wilson.

Shazam!
"Shazam!" continues DC's superhero expansion with Warner Bros. at the helm. The protagonist is a classic comic book character, originally known as Captain Marvel, but this name was abandoned due to a trademark dispute with Marvel Entertainment. In this movie version, directed by David F. Sandberg (from "Annabelle 2"), there are strong influences of the classic 'Big' - the protagonist, Billy Batson, is a boy who gains magical powers and turns into the "Most Powerful Mortal on Earth" by yelling the magical word "Shazam!", becoming an adult in the process. The protagonist, in his grown-up version, is played by Zachary Levi from the series "Chuck". With a focus on humor and without major moral dilemmas (which mark the movies of other DC heroes), this film guarantees unpretentious fun for the whole family.

Twisters
Twisters, as its title suggests, is a sequel to the classic 1996 movie Twister, and while its plot does not have a direct link to its predecessor, it essentially tells the same story, with some changes and updates. Set in the present day, the plot follows Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones, Fresh), a meteorologist disillusioned by a past tornado tragedy, living in New York with a desk job. However, when she returns to Oklahoma to assist a colleague with tornado experiments, she meets Tyler (Glen Powell, Hit Man), a charismatic YouTuber who gets in her way. Although not a film that really offers anything innovative (if you saw the first one, you've seen this new version), the disaster sequences are spectacular, and both Edgar-Jones and Powell deliver excellent, emotive, and fun performances.

The Imaginary
The Imaginary is a Japanese film featuring hand-drawn animation by Studio Ponoc, founded by producer and screenwriter Yoshiaki Nishimura (known for Mary and The Witch's Flower) after leaving Studio Ghibli following the production of The Secret World of Arrietty. The plot follows Rudger, a boy imagined by a girl named Amanda. One day, Rudger gets lost and ends up in the City of Imaginaries, home to all the imaginary friends who are being forgotten by their children. Meanwhile, Amanda embarks on an adventure to find him. It is a beautiful story about the loss of innocence to reality and the power of imagination, which also stands out for its hand-drawn animation. Conceptually, it resembles its Hollywood contemporary IF, though truth be told, this film is more imaginative and coherent. A must-watch, especially if you are a fan of Japanese animation and are interested in discovering new names—and studios—dedicated to it.

Planet of the Apes
For fans of the 1968 classic Planet of the Apes, disappointed by the declining quality of its four sequels, this Tim Burton-directed remake was a source of much excitement. Eventually, it was also frustration. The film, despite its excellent makeup, production design, visual effects, and a cast with names like Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, and Michael Clarke Duncan, didn't exactly live up to the lofty ideas of its original, and changed several elements of the narrative although he rescued or adapted others that were too iconic (the ending, although different, maintains the same idea). It is, at its best, an interesting interpretation of a classic, through the unique lens of Burton and his penchant for B-movie sci-fi.

Gasoline Rainbow
Gasoline Rainbow, a film selected at festivals like SXSW and Venice, is directed by brothers Bill and Turner Ross, who often blur the lines between documentary and fiction. This story is about five teenage friends from a small Oregon town who, with no major plans and school behind them, decide to embark on a journey in an old van to a place they have never been: the Pacific beach. Cheerful and optimistic, it is a portrait of Generation Z's ideals and attitudes, where the destination is not as important as the journey and the people we meet along the way.
