Now You See Me 2
After an extremely competent first movie, the 'Now You See Me' franchise gained an unexpected grandiosity. This second chapter of the story of criminal magicians takes place in more countries, has even more elaborate tricks and even more characters -- even Daniel Radcliffe, the eternal Harry Potter, joined the story. On the one hand, there is a general swelling of the story, which ends up sounding even more miraculous and artificial than the first movie. Those who like to believe what they are watching will be disappointed, no doubt. However, those who embark on the madness of director Jon M. Chu (‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’) will have fun with some memorable scenes, such as the good sequence of a letter being exchanged between the magicians. A movie to have fun with.
In the Heights
Adapted from the play 'In the Heights', the musical movie 'In the Heights' seems like a contemporary mix between 'Hamilton' and 'Do the Right Thing'. After all, on one side, there is all the musicality of Lin-Manuel Miranda, who knows how to combine musical styles, always with a hint of rap and hip-hop, bringing a modern force to what he wants to tell -- and creating instant hits, like 'In the Heights', 'Carnaval del Barrio' and the beautiful 'Paciencia y Fé'. On the other side, pulling the obvious reference from Spike Lee's feature, there is the story of a Latin community going through a tough process of gentrification -- which is when real estate speculation takes precedence over the social importance of a space, a neighborhood or a city. From there, we dive into the beautiful story of Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), owner of a bodega who pursues his dreams with determination: to return to the Dominican Republic and win Vanessa (Melissa Barrera). There is also the girl who returns frustrated from college, the radio host, the lady who serves as grandmother to everyone ... There are several stories, all of them natural and without artificiality that some Broadway adaptations bring to the cinema. There are problems, yes, such as the exaggerated duration of more than 2h20 and the blatant lack of black representation in the Latin community. Still, however, the sunny tone of the production, the good music and striking performances (mainly from Barrera and the experienced Olga Merediz) help 'In the Heights' to raise the overall quality of the production. Fans of musicals in general, and especially of 'Hamilton', should get excited.
Crazy Rich Asians
At first glance, this movie may seem like another romantic comedy about one half of a couple meeting the spouse’s family – think ‘Meet the Parents’. But ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ offers a twist: it’s a deep dive into contemporary Asian culture, particularly of the new rich of Singapore. All based on Kevin Kwan’s bestselling book.
Romance
Puppy Love

The hilariously mismatched Nicole and Max are forced to become responsible co-parents, but may end up finding love themselves.
Meu Sangue Ferve por Você
In 1979, Brazilian singer Sidney Magal is at the peak of his career. On a TV show, he meets Magali and, enchanted by the young woman, decides to win her over. But, in order to do that, he will have to overcome the resistance of his manager, Jean Pierre, and the distrust of her family, friends and even Magali herself.
Beautiful Wedding
Picking up where Beautiful Disaster left off, Abby and Travis wake up after a crazy night in Vegas as accidental newlyweds. With their best friends in tow and Abby’s six-figure poker winnings, they travel to Mexico, where they can enjoy a wild, lavish honeymoon. But as chaos follows “Trabby” at every turn, they must decide if they belong together – or if this marriage is another disaster waiting to happen.
My Best Friend's Wedding
Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz and Rupert Everett star in MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING, a high-spirited romantic comedy that serves up something wild, something new, something touching and something truly hilarious. Roberts dazzles as commitment-shy Jules Potter, who reluctantly realizes she is in love with her best friend Michael (Mulroney). There is just one catch: he's about to marry someone else. Comically crazed and full of devious plans, Jules will do anything to steal him back... except tell him the simple truth.
