Moonraker (1979)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Influenced by the success of 'Star Wars', Eon Productions decided to take Roger Moore's James Bond into space - but not before stopping by Brazil. The result is one of the most delightfully cheesy Bond films ever made. Of course, the action scenes, compared to 21st century cinema, are weak, the special effects are outdated and the script of 'Moonraker' leaves something to be desired. On the other hand, the explosion of colors, exaggerations and extravagant costumes are the best within the genre. For us Brazilians, there is Bond's presence in Rio de Janeiro, traveling on the beloved Concorde, walking through the Carioca streets and still enjoying the carnival of the late 1970s - which, in itself, is a very interesting historical record. Not to mention the fight scene on the Sugar Loaf cable car, with 007 in a mortal combat (ok, disregard the clearly fake chromakey) against the villain Jaws (or, if you prefer, Steel Teeth). The final result is full of highs and lows, but if you watch it prepared to laugh at both the intentional and unintentional humor, you will be satisfied and with a nice smile on your face.

The Spy Who Loved Me
In 'The Spy Who Loved Me', Eon Productions found the perfect chemistry for Roger Moore's James Bond. The English actor was already at home in the role, but this movie delivers a story that perfectly blends action, humor, exoticism, adventure, and charm. It's pure 1970s cinema juice too - though younger viewers may find unintentional humor in the outdated special effects. How can one forget the iconic opening, with Bond opening his parachute adorned with the Union Jack, the UK flag, while being "caught" by female hands - when 'Nobody Does it Better' starts playing, sung by Carly Simon? The soundtrack, by the way, was composed by Marvin Hamslisch, who replaced veteran John Barry (unable to go to the UK due to tax issues). The movie also introduces the iconic henchman Jaws.
You Only Live Twice
The iconic villain Blofeld is back in this fifth movie of the James Bond series by Eon Productions. Although it may not be the most remembered film of Sean Connery's era as the character, it certainly has its highlights. Among them, the beautiful theme 'You Only Live Twice', sung by Nancy Sinatra (who, decades later, would appear with a new look in 'Tully'). At times, the story takes a back seat, focusing on the spectacular gadgets of the hero, falling into its own 007 clichés. At the time, 'You Only Live Twice' was the straw that broke the camel's back for Connery, who was worn out and decided to leave the role (which he would return to later). Even so, through today's eyes, it is a fun movie.
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.
