Why watch this film?
Based on the latest iteration of DC Comics' lesser-known superhero - Blue Beetle is the story of a Latinx college grad, Jaime Reyes (Xolo Maridueña, star of Cobra Kai), who returns home to Cidade Palmera only to face an uncertain future. However, everything changes when he accidentally gets caught up in a corporate intrigue to acquire the "Blue Beetle", an alien device with a mind of its own that chooses him as its human host, granting him an incredible armor and superpowers. It's a fun action movie that shines when it allows its cast's (featuring Latin American names such as Adriana Barraza, Damián Alcázar, and Bruna Marquezine) charisma to come through, though it doesn't offer anything we haven't already seen in other superhero film series, from DC or other studios.

From the same director
Charm City Kings
Produced by Will Smith and praised at the Sundance Film Festival, 'Twelve' is an original HBO Max release. An independent drama about a young boy who gets involved with a biker gang. Necessary and powerful, the movie tackles themes such as maturity and finding one's place in the world amidst common teenage issues like dealing with family and external influences, and determination to follow dreams. The film features strong performances from both lead actors and a memorable and original plot, definitely worth checking out.
Action
The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is one of those films that seem designed to have it all and thus please the broadest audience possible. Based on the 1980s series of the same name and directed by David Leitch (former stunt double and now director of films like Bullet Train and Deadpool 2), the movie follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a down-on-his-luck stunt double who must investigate the mysterious disappearance of actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as this would ruin the first movie of his beloved, filmmaker Jody (Emily Blunt). And the major problem with this movie is that it tries to be everything: romantic comedy, action comedy, Hollywood satire, crime mystery, and more, hampered by the magnitude of its own ambitions, as well as an overloaded and unclear script. You can enjoy it as an insight into the world behind action cinema, and for the charisma of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.
Money
In this high-stakes action thriller, two pharmaceutical executives are about to get away with stealing $5 million until an uninvited houseguest derails their plans and holds them hostage during an all-night standoff. Featuring a powerful ensemble cast, including Jesse Williams, Kellan Lutz and Jess Weixler, MONEY is a chilling lesson in greed that will keep you guessing until the very end!
Deadpool & Wolverine
Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.
