Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Director Robert Rodriguez (of 'Machete' and 'Sin City') joins none other than producer James Cameron (also the director of 'Avatar' and 'Titanic') to present a movie that is a visual delight, created using the latest motion capture and computer graphics techniques. The story is based on the manga 'Gunnm', which was critically acclaimed in Japan and follows the cyberpunk line of successes such as 'Ghost in the Shell' and 'Blade Runner'. Also noteworthy is the great performance by Rosa Salazar, who plays the titular character in Alita: Battle Angel.

From Dusk Till Dawn
Written and starred in by Quentin Tarantino (sharing the spotlight with George Clooney), this movie directed by Robert Rodriguez was not a big success at the cinemas or critically. However, over the years it has become a true cult classic of the 1990s. It's easy to see why: its B-movie vibe creates the perfect atmosphere for an unpretentious and fun vampire movie. It may not be the highlight of Clooney, Tarantino, and Rodriguez's careers, but it is still memorable.
Sin City
Based on Frank Miller's iconic graphic novels (also author of comic book classics such as '300' and 'The Dark Knight'), 'Sin City' is a successful experiment in faithfully adapting the look of a comic book, and it's really the closest thing to a live-action graphic novel. Its powerful imagery, extreme violence, snappy dialogue, and disturbed characters will stay with you.
Once Upon a Time In Mexico
A tribute to spaghetti western films, popular in the 1960s, made by Robert Rodriguez. 'Once Upon a Time In Mexico' deserves to be watched more than once to understand all the details of the plot - which may seem a bit confusing at first glance. With a great cast, featuring Antonio Banderas, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek, Eva Mendes and even singer Enrique Iglesias, it's a great production for those who enjoy big action sequences and Robert Rodriguez's style. This movie was originally going to be directed by Quentin Tarantino, but it was Rodriguez who took over the direction and did a good job.
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl
When it hit theaters back in 2005, 'The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl' had its big draw in its 3D visuals - people in the theater would wear blue and red plastic lenses glasses to get a rather crude depth effect. That's what made this feature, which tries to ride the success of movies like 'Spy Kids', have considerable box office success. Today, everything is a bit aged in 'The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl': the visuals are strange, the story is bad and the 3D can't be reproduced at home. Nevertheless, even so, this different movie by Robert Rodriguez ('Alita', 'El Mariachi') ends up getting points for its strangeness and creativity, which remain alive even with so much evolution in terms of narrative, visuals and technical aspects of the cinema.
We Can Be Heroes
Robert Rodriguez returns to command action productions with children in 'We Can Be Heroes'. The film also marks the return of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, who were the protagonists of one of the director's productions in 2005 - in fact, 'The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D' was one of the first feature films released in 3D within the modern "revival" of the format. The production shows the children of the greatest heroes on Earth having to join forces to face the aliens that have invaded the planet. 'We Can Be Heroes' speaks about the importance of diversity and the weight of responsibilities.
Happier than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles
Accurately content in almost all streaming services is the musical. Not super productions like 'La La Land', 'Singing in the Rain' or 'Mamma Mia!', but films that show the intimacy of great artists while also diving deeper into their talents, shows and performances. And 'Happier than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles' is one more production of this type. Here, singer and songwriter Billie Eilish presents the songs from the album 'Happier than Ever' with a special garment, with orchestra and a different look. It reminds a little of what Disney had done before with Taylor Swift in 'Folklore: Long Pond Studio Sessions'. It's beautiful, well produced and certainly will please fans of Billie Eilish's work -- and, unfortunately, not much more than that.
Action
Furies
An exclusive Vietnamese action and revenge thriller on Netflix that thematically will remind you of "Promising Young Woman", but in action and style it is more reminiscent of "John Wick" and "Kill Bill". Although it is not as refined (or interesting) as its references, "Furies" will leave genre fans satisfied. The plot is somewhat scant: three furious and violent female vigilantes join forces to take down a sinister mafia that has made them victims. There is more substance in the action sequences than in its premise, but if you're looking for something visually impactful and entertaining, you'll like it.
Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village
After his family is viciously murdered, a kind-hearted boy named Tanjiro Kamado resolves to become a Demon Slayer in hopes of turning his younger sister Nezuko back into a human. Together with his comrades, Zenitsu and Inosuke, along with one of the top-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui, Tanjiro embarks on a mission within the Entertainment District, where they encounter the formidable, high-ranking demons, Daki and Gyutaro.
