Why watch this film?
For Western audiences, Godzilla might seem like a monster from purely spectacular movies, recently famous for Warner Bros.' MonsterVerse inaugurated by the 2014 film. However, it's essential to remember that this character originated in Japan and, while having a long history of somewhat silly monster movies, has roots in the Asian country's history with nuclear disasters. 'Godzilla Minus One' is a return to these roots, setting the story right after World War II and with a deeply human narrative with the monster as the antagonist. This doesn't mean it lacks visual spectacle; quite the opposite. However, it achieves the difficult balance between entertainment and a profound narrative that will leave you both shocked and moved.

Stand by Me Doraemon 2
Successful in manga, 'Doraemon' was adapted into a 2014 CGI animation called 'Stand by Me Doraemon'. Now, the franchise returns with 'Stand by Me Doraemon 2' (released as such, with part of the title in uppercase), a movie that arrives exclusively on Netflix. Here, we follow the friendly Nobita once again, with the help of the robotic cat from the future Doraemon, traveling to the past once again, now causing a series of damages to the present and the future - which they will, once again, have to solve. With doses of drama, humor and suspense, along with lots of innocence of childhood and friendship, it is one of those stories that involve the viewer.
Dragon Quest: Your Story
In Japan, the 'Dragon Quest' video game franchise is a true phenomenon and, worldwide, it is one of the most acclaimed RPG and fantasy sagas of all time. Under the supervision of its creator, Yuji Horii, 'Dragon Quest: Your Story' is the animated adaptation of the fifth installment of the franchise, and although it does not follow the iconic art direction of Akira Toriyama (also creator of 'Dragon Ball'), the movie maintains other elements from the game, such as the fabulous music of Koichi Sugiyama and countless fantastic creatures. It may not be very accessible to the uninitiated, but it will certainly be great entertainment for fans of the saga.
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
