Why watch this film?
A fantasy and adventure comedy suitable for the whole family. We could almost say that 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Rebels' uses the Marvel formula seen in movies like Guardians of the Galaxy - humor even in the most serious moments, a frantic pace, and many spectacular action sequences in a story about an improvised family - and transfers it to the context of the famous role-playing game. The plot follows a violinist (Chris Pine), who after a botched robbery, seeks to reunite with his daughter. However, this leads him on an adventure where together with a group of varied companions (Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis and Regé-Jean Page), they will have to save the world. Although it doesn't reinvent the wheel, Dungeons & Dragons is a very fun family adventure, and even if its screen time is somewhat exaggerated, it becomes extremely entertaining thanks to the charisma and chemistry of its cast.

Game Night
A good comedy, despite the predictable script; a good cast and scenes absurdly impossible. This is a great description for 'Game Night.' The chemistry between Jason Bateman ('I Want to Kill My Boss') and Rachel McAdams ('Doctor Strange') is one of the highlights of the movie, but Jesse Plemons ('The Post: The Secret War') steals the scene every time he appears. The story? Max and Annie participate in a group that organizes a game night every week. Until one day, Max's successful brother decides to organize a mysterious party and ends up being kidnapped, leading everyone to believe that the disappearance is part of the joke. A production with guaranteed fun!
Adventure
The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar
After the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth, DETHKLOK frontman Nathan Explosion finds himself traumatized in a BRUTAL professional and romantic flat-spin all while he is tasked with fulfilling the prophecy and confronting the ultimate songwriting challenge: write the SONG OF SALVATION and save the planet. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia?
Richard: The Stork
A charming animation full of adventure and vibrant colors in a story about leadership and maturity. The film tells the story of Richard, a brave sparrow adopted by a family of storks, and his journey to find a lost jewel while leading a group of oppressed birds. The sequel maintains the essence of the original, while exploring themes of friendship and self-knowledge, with valuable lessons reminiscent of Disney classics.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
The third official installment in the Ghostbusters saga, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, was a sequel that worked due to its nostalgic and self-referential spirit: it acknowledged the passage of time and the separation of the original group (in front of and behind the cameras), paying homage and passing the torch to a new generation. The sequel seems to throw all that out the window. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire continues the story of Phoebe Spengler (Mckenna Grace) and her family as the new Ghostbusters, back in New York to fight the paranormal. However, gradually, subplots involving new characters (Kumail Nanjiani is one of the best) as well as others already introduced in the new generation begin to emerge, but there's also a return of almost all the classic characters. The result is an unnecessarily complicated web of subplots and an overload of characters, which ends up diluting the impact of the film's most fun and emotional ideas. It's not a disaster, but it definitely would have worked better if it had embraced the innovative spirit of its predecessor to let go of the past.
