Trailer
Why watch this film?
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".
Horror
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
28 Days Later
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs – and it’s absolutely impossible to contain.
The Jack in the Box Rises
When Raven is sent to an all-girls boarding school, she unleashes a demon from a mysterious vintage jack-in-the-box hidden on the school grounds. Will the students make it out alive, or will the demon claim the victims it requires to remain alive?
Nudus
From director Gibrán Bazán, pupil of legendary cult filmmaker Juan López Moctezuma (Alucarda), NUDUS is a science fiction thriller that, with few resources, aspires to create the worst conceivable dystopia of our digital age: a world in which everyone's data is accessible to everyone, and for any purpose, after a major global hack. The plot follows a woman (Carla Hernández) who, upon waking up from a prolonged coma, is confronted by a stranger (Álex Crusa) who seems to know everything about her: everything she has written on WhatsApp and Facebook, all the videos she has sent to her contacts, all the humiliating information she has said in private. From this moment on, NUDUS seems more concerned with the mystery of its characters than with the greater background of their situation, so it becomes more about the exploitation of its female protagonist than a reflection on technology and data privacy. However, despite the plot going off the rails, the situation lends itself to exemplifying a catastrophic scenario of these breaches in privacy.
