Bram Stoker's Dracula
One of the great films by director Francis Ford Coppola, diving into horror to adapt Bram Stoker's book 'Dracula', with an all-star cast and great performances. Special mention goes to the visuals, photography and costumes - the movie even won three Oscars, including Best Makeup and Sound Effects. It is noteworthy that Coppola was inspired by another adaptation of Stoker's book, the unauthorized 'Nosferatu', from where he took some sequences and visuals. Other Hollywood adaptations that came afterwards also served as a starting point, making this film a "complete version" of all of them.
Tucker: The Man and His Dream
This is perhaps one of the least remembered films of director Francis Ford Coppola - famous for such longs as 'The Godfather' and 'Apocalypse Now' - which makes 'Tucker: The Man and His Dream' a rare gem that should always be watched and suggested. The story is about Preston Tucker, an engineer who decided to create the car that the three big Detroit factories did not want: modern, safe and at a fair price. The project became the Tucker 48 (also known as "Toperdo"), and included directional headlights and integrated santantonio - and even developed, but did not implement, disc brakes, magnesium wheels and fuel injection. The initiative brought the wrath of GM, Ford and Chrysler, who lobbied for Tucker to be accused of fraud. It is an ode to the pursuit of the realization of our dreams, but also a libel of how the capitalism of the large corporations kills innovation and innovators. All this accompanied by a great performance by Jeff Bridges in the title role. It is worth noting that Coppola and George Lucas (who is the executive producer of the film) are extremely passionate about Tucker's legacy and his car, which makes this production even more emotional for those who made it and for those who watch.
The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone
Mario Puzo's The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone is one of the most iconic trilogies in cinema history, leaving Francis Ford Coppola's work recorded in books and encyclopedias about the seventh art. However, despite the quality far above average of the first two films, The Godfather Part III has always divided opinions. For many, the movie is a nonsense that does not justify itself. For others, it is good and forgettable. And only for very few is it really worthy of the trilogy. With this in mind, Coppola returns to production to reedit the story and bring a new and unprecedented cut, with more scenes and some unexpected conclusions. Thus, the film gets closer to the original idea and leaves some narrative nonsense aside, without compromising the meaning of the story as we know it. The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone is not yet a masterpiece of cinema, like its two predecessors. However, the quality improves a bit and should please saga fans.
The Godfather: Part II
The continuation of one of the greatest movie classics, a classic in itself. Here, director Francis Ford Coppola brings us two stories of power - on one side, how the New York mafia families arose; on the other, how these same families moved to Las Vegas and got involved with the politics of Cuba. All this seasoned with feelings such as desire, power, need and family duty. No wonder the movie won five Oscars, including one for Best Supporting Actor for the still young Robert De Niro.
The Godfather
"The Godfather" is a "bedtime movie" for any movie lover, a masterpiece directed by Francis Ford Coppola and an accurate analysis of the mafia and Italian immigration in the United States. Not only did it influence subsequent works and become one of the best movies of all time, it was also one of the first responsible for bringing Hollywood back to its golden years.
The Godfather: Part III
The epilogue to the saga of 'The Godfather' in the words of Francis Ford Coppola himself, the third part of the trilogy may not be as incredible as the first two, but it works by giving an ending to Michael Corleone's journey - which went from a young man searching for an independent life in the first movie to one of the biggest mob bosses in the US, but who now wants to leave a better legacy for future generations. In addition, the movie knows how to use real-life events (such as the death of Pope John Paul I and the Vatican Bank scandal) to build a plot that is, at least, interesting.
Apocalypse Now: Final Cut
After the initial version, which went to theaters with 2h33; and the Redux, released in 2001, with long 3h22, filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola puts a resounding end to the back and forth of these versions born in the editing room. In 'Apocalypse Now Final Cut', with 3h03, we follow again the journey of Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen, in the best role of his career), who receives the task of killing Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has gone mad and created his own army. But for that, Willard will have to face a dangerous terrain - the rivers and forests of Vietnam. Despite still having some fat here and there, like the dinner with the French, the film is really in its best form: straight to the point, with some additions that mess with the story and give new dimensions. However, it is worth saying that those who watched the other films of 'Apocalypse Now' also had in their hands the same strength of Willard's journey. After all, in all versions, the historical scenes were there (the helicopters to the sound of 'Ride of the Valkyries', for example) and, above all, the importance of this story of resistance and overcoming. Now, just hope that Coppola doesn't come with another version soon. After all, now, you already feel like smelling "the smell of napalm in the morning".
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
As the world falls, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the wasteland, they encounter the citadel presided over by Immortan Joe. The two tyrants wage war for dominance, and Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
Dredd
In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
It was said about the first installment, and it can be said about Netflix's Rebel Moon (Part Two): it is a movie that only Zack Snyder fans will enjoy. The film continues to be a copy of the classic 'Seven Samurai', but in space: our heroes, led by Kora (Sofia Boutella), return to their small agricultural moon to prepare the defense against the invaders from the Empire. The story unfolds in a predictable manner (even more so if you've seen Kurosawa's classic), with Snyder's usual stylistic vices: overuse of slow motion and gratuitous Christian symbolism. If you liked the previous one (or the director's other movies), you will undoubtedly enjoy it. Otherwise, it might be better to skip it.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
The MonsterVerse has successfully brought to the screen the battles of the two most iconic giant monsters in cinema, King Kong and Godzilla, the latter in its American reinterpretation. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a new chapter in the franchise, although, truth be told, it doesn't bring much new. The duo are now allies in a fight for the fate not only of the Earth's surface but also of the world of the "hollow earth," where the titans come from. Don't expect here the deep anti-war allegory of Godzilla Minus One, the far superior Japanese film released just a few months prior. Here it's about seeing giant monsters smack each other in the face, like an hour of wrestlers aboard monster trucks. If that's what you're looking for, it's the movie for you. If you prefer some more humanity in your films, it's better to pass.
