The Goonies (1985)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
One of the greatest classics of Sessão da Tarde, that has been the soundtrack to many generations' childhoods. Also directed by Richard Donner and written by Chris Columbus (‘Uma Babá Quase-Perfeita’), the movie is about a group of teenagers and children living in Goon Docks, Oregon, trying to find a way to save their homes from demolition. There is also a great homage to pirate stories, which made Donner's childhood. ‘The Goonies’ is an inventive film with great appeal among the kids and a nostalgic feeling for adults.

Superman
The first comic book superhero, introduced in 1938, was also the first to have a big budget version in the era of blockbuster cinema, starting in the second half of the 1970s. The one chosen to show us that man could fly was director Richard Donner ("Lethal Weapon"), but the production was tumultuous behind the scenes - there were many ups and downs, as well as a long screenplay by Mario Puzzo ("The Godfather") that was drastically rewritten. The final result, seen on the screen, brings then-unknown Christopher Reeve in the title role, in an excellent performance that knows how to dose the innocence of Clark Kent with the charisma of Superman. Also highlight, for the energy of Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, the curious reporter of the Daily Planet. The result is a film with an innocent air and dated special effects, yes, but with an energy and feelings that are missing in many of today's superhero movies.
Adventure
We Lost Our Human
This is a fun, interactive Netflix special (in the same vein as Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend), with an animation style reminiscent of cartoons like The Amazing World of Gumball or Steven Universe. The premise of We Lost Our Human is eccentric: two spoiled pets are the only ones who can travel to the center of the universe to fix a technical glitch that has made humans disappear. Like other Netflix interactive specials, the viewer only has to choose between different paths at certain times, resulting in different versions of the story.
The Magician's Elephant
Follows Peter, who is searching for his long-lost sister. When he crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square, he want to know, is his sister still alive? To get the answer, he must find a mysterious elephant and the magician who will conjure it, setting Peter off on a journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that will change the face of his town.
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
Based on the homonymous illustrated book by Charlie Mackesy, 'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' is a beautiful animated short film exclusive to Apple TV+. Through art direction that looks like an animated watercolor - imitating the style of the book -, the film tells the simple story of empathy and friendship between the four title characters. Beautiful and totally appropriate for children, although it will certainly warm the heart of even the toughest adult.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Sequel to the 2019 film, 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' starts differently. Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is now a teenager, nearing adulthood, who can transform into a superhero (Levi) when he invokes a sort of mystical power. Now, however, he is not alone: his foster siblings also share the power and begin to defend the city of Philadelphia, in the United States, from villains. This is the case with three Greek gods (Helen Mirren, Rachel Zegler, Lucy Liu) who threaten the superhero family by facing other strong mystical powers. The film doesn't have the brilliance of DC's "independent" productions like 'Batman' and 'Joker', but it's also far from being a disaster like 'Batman v. Superman', 'Justice League', and even 'Wonder Woman 1984'. The film has a certain freshness, similar to that seen in Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad'. Like in the first feature, director David F. Sandberg ('Lights Out') knows that Shazam's story cannot be as grand as Batman's journey on the big screen, for example, or Superman's. He needs to focus on the little, on the closeness of these heroes who are actually teenagers experiencing almost magical powers. That's where the fun and the difference of the film lies, which doesn't take itself too seriously and therefore doesn't make any commitment to the viewer to be grand or opulent. It goes straight to the point, being its main virtue and making the experience the most enjoyable possible in the end.
