Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Based on the comic books 'Kingsman Vol.01: The Secret Service', by Mark Millar ('Kick-Ass') and Dave Gibbons ('Watchmen'), the movie takes archetypal spy stories and expands them to nuclear proportions. The result are action sequences full of humor and adrenaline, with the most absurd technology. For some it will be a ridiculous movie, for others one of the best of the decade in the action genre. Whatever your decision is, Samuel L. Jackson is the villain, and that's always worth watching.

From the same director
X-Men: First Class
After the disaster of 'X-Men: The Last Stand', Fox called director Matthew Vaughn ('Kick Ass') to rescue the mutant franchise. The result is this film that, although it does not have a budget at the same level of previous releases (which is very noticeable in some moments), manages to rescue the magic of X-Men in cinema with a plot that evokes the bases of the comics, including the ethnic issue of the 1960s. The movie tells the origins of Professor Charles Xavier's team and the first contact of the mutant with the future arch-enemy Erik Lensherr, Magneto. In the cast, we have stars of the new generation such as James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult, as well as ex-Footloose Kevin Bacon. Another highlight is the competent soundtrack, which differs greatly from the previous chapters, signed by Henry Jackman (also composer of 'Captain America: Civil War').
Stardust
Based on Neil Gaiman's homonymous novel (of 'Coraline'), 'Stardust' is an adventure and fantasy movie "like in the old days", very much in the style of the old 'Star Wars', 'Indiana Jones' or, going back even further, 'The Adventures of Robin Hood' with Errol Flynn, but praised for its visual effects of its time. It surely has a top-notch creative team, starting with director Matthew Vaughn and screenwriter Jane Goldman (whose duo was worth it as 'Kick-Ass', 'X-Men: First Class' and 'Kingsman'), Plus a luxury cast led by Charlie Cox ('Daredevil'), Claire Danes ('Homeland'), Robert De Niro ('Taxi Driver'), Michelle Pfeiffer ('Batman Returns') and Ian McKellen ('The Lord of the Rings') as narrator. A modest underrated gem - and somewhat anachronistic - that you will really love if you're a fan of fantasy and adventure.
Kick-Ass
At a time when superheroes were still in a growth period and little had been explored in this sector, director Matthew Vaughn (of 'Kingsman') decided to pursue this curious comic book story of a school loser who becomes a superhero. It's a stylized, violent, and almost nonsensical production. Yet it still manages to elicit some laughs and, even after the "Marvel wave," shows how it's possible to find freshness in the stories of these figures dedicated to saving the world.
The King's Man
Prelude to the 'Kingsman' franchise, 'The King's Man: The Origin' brings the beginning of the international private agency - and British nobility - still during the events of World War I. In an extremely fictionalized universe (and therefore do not take anything from it as truth), we see how the Duke of Oxford (Ralph Fiennes, from 'The Constant Gardener') transformed a traditional tailor into the guarantor of world peace. The cast is still completed by Gemma Arterton ('Clash of the Titans'), Harris Dickinson ('Beach Rats'), Aaron Taylor-Joy ('Kick Ass'), Daniel Brühl ('Rush'), Djimon Hounsou ('Guardians of the Galaxy') and Rhys Ifans ('The Amazing Spider-Man') - the latter great in the role of Rasputin, the mystic who was the most influential man in the Russian Empire. In the direction we have the return of Matthew Vaughn - responsible for the two previous films in the series - who once again imprints his style with great action scenes, although he slips in the fact that he does not know if this is a serious production or a farcical story. A bit of self-awareness would do well. To watch without taking seriously.
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.
