War Machine (2017)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
A parody not only of war movies, but a scathing critique of American militarism and part of the army, taking advantage of clichés to do so. Not surprisingly, the film uses real facts to base its jokes, even if it appeals to cartoon humor to portray them. It's not brilliant, but it's fun and fits in well with today's times.

The King
Period dramas - especially those full of battles and kings and queens, like 'The Two Queens' - are always welcome. Directed by Australian David Michôd ('War Machine'), 'The King' adapts with considerable creative freedom various plays from the so-called 'Henriad', written by William Shakespeare, about British monarchs such as Henry IV and Henry V. The result is a drama about intrigue and power games, seasoned with brutal medieval battles. Timothée Chalamet ('Call Me By Your Name') seems to have been born for the role, in addition to an all-star cast that includes Ben Mendelsohn, Robert Pattinson, Joel Edgerton and Lily-Rose Depp.
Comedy
Carmen Vidal: Mujer Detective
Carmen Vidal is a private detective addicted to pizza, beer and marijuana who fights against a criminal Senator to avenge the death of her colleague, in a modern film noir about self-improvement.
Magic Mike's Last Dance
“Magic” Mike Lane takes to the stage again after a lengthy hiatus, following a business deal that went bust, leaving him broke and taking bartender gigs in Florida. For what he hopes will be one last hurrah, Mike heads to London with a wealthy socialite who lures him with an offer he can’t refuse…and an agenda all her own. With everything on the line, once Mike discovers what she truly has in mind, will he—and the roster of hot new dancers he’ll have to whip into shape—be able to pull it off?
Cocaine Bear
Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow and blood.
Have a Nice Day!
From the same director of "Todas las sardinas del mundo" and the series "La Casa de las Flores," the Mexican feature film "Come Back Soon!" is an incredibly charming film. The story follows the journey of a retired radio announcer in Mexico who decides to work at a market to earn some money. His goal is very special: to attend a party where he hopes to find his true love, with the help of two young men who work at the market. A simple and functional film that shows with lightness how dreams last forever - despite age.
