The Upside
This American remake of the touching French film 'Intouchables' which was a success all around the world features a star-studded cast with Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Kevin Hart (Ride Along) and Nicole Kidman (The Others). The story follows the same line as the original: a middle aged quadriplegic who hires a caretaker with little experience, but who opens him up to a world of discoveries. With more American-style situations, 'The Upside' makes use of the great chemistry between Hart and Cranston to engage the viewer.
Divergent
After the success of the dystopian YA thriller 'The Hunger Games', studios and producers began to search for a new success to be the successor of the saga starring Jennifer Lawrence. However, just like the search for new products of 'Harry Potter' or 'Star Wars', this attempt was fruitless and the only outstanding production that emerged was the average saga 'Divergent'. This first movie, starring Shailene Woodley, is the most interesting of the whole saga, managing to reproduce in audiovisual the rhythm and intensity of the homonymous book by Veronica Roth. It is not exceptional, nor as memorable as 'The Hunger Games'. However, you can still embark on this escapist fun.
Voyagers
Although filmmaker Neil Burger relies on cliches in most of his films, such as 'Forever Friends' and 'Divergent', it is undeniable that he tries to go beyond with 'Voyagers'. Starring names like Colin Farrell, Tye Sheridan and Lily-Rose Depp, the feature film plays with the feeling of emptiness of space to talk about astronauts, on a long mission, who go back and forth between paranoia and madness, not knowing what is real or not, in a desperate scenario. Although it has obviousness in its core, with some characters a bit too shallow, 'Voyagers: Instinct and Desire' knows how to provoke and, who knows, take you out of your comfort zone while watching the movie about these astronauts, almost all teenagers, losing control in the middle of nowhere.
Thriller
Out of Darkness
The stunning feature film debut of director Andrew Cumming is what happens when you take the horror and survival thriller to its most basic elements, in more ways than one. Out of Darkness is set in the Stone Age, 45 thousand years in the past, and follows a small group of people looking to build a new home in a desolate landscape. However, as darkness falls, they realize they are not alone, and that an evil lurking in the shadows seeks to consume them. The film's great achievement is to create an atmosphere that connects us to our most primal and natural fear: the fear of dying at any moment, due to human fragility in the face of the world's dangers. Darkness and uncertainty are the big monsters here, something few horror films manage to convey effectively.
Boy Kills World
In Boy Kills World, Bill Skarsgård (IT) plays another somewhat disturbed protagonist. Here, he swears revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen), the disturbed matriarch who left the boy orphaned, deaf, and voiceless. With shades of John Wick, the young man seeks to become an instrument of death and promises to cause bloody chaos, ideal for those who enjoy a movie with few scruples and visually appealing aesthetics. It doesn't bring much new to the genre, but it's at least entertaining.
Motel Destino
Dayana lives an abusive marriage with former police officer Elias, owner of Motel Destino. When 21-year-old Heraldo finds himself at the motel after messing up a hit and going on the run, Dayana finds herself intrigued and lets him stay. As the two navigate a dance of power, desire and liberation, a dangerous plan for freedom emerges.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
