@Courtesy of Sundance Film Festival The First feature-film directed by Giselle Bonilla is a dark comedy focused on Doug (Will Brill), a middle-school teacher and wanna-be playwright, that turns into exploring his dark side when he finds out his ex-girlfriend and colleague Abigail (Gillian Jacobs) is dating the school’s principal Brady (Rob Lowe). Which could…
When the Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson spent a summer honeymoon in the Napa Valley — that is renowned for its winemaking — he expressed that just like a good poem that reveals nuances each time you read it, once you open a good bottle of wine the longer it decants the more its flavor…
The visionary Sam Raimi, acclaimed for his Spider-Man trilogy and many films that possess a dynamic visual style, returns to the screen with the undauntable survival-thriller Send Help. The story shows how Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams) — the star employee from a company’s Planning & Strategy Department— and Bradley Preston (Dylan O’Brien) — the newly…
Chloé Zhao brings to the silver screen Maggie O’Farrell’s novel, that retraces the fate of one of William Shakespeare’s children, that eventually inspired him to write his play Hamlet. In fact, the written prologue states that in Stratford, ‘Hamnet’ and ‘Hamlet’ were considered the same name. Hamnet chronicles the relationship between the Bard (Paul Mescal)…
The reckless freedom and quiet desperation that drive the lives of struggling young adults often seem captivating to them. But the dire consequences that arise when those elements collide drive the new visceral coming-of-age film, Burn.

Simon & Garfunkel sung “Hello, darkness, my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain, Still remains, Within the sound of silence.” This was the first verse of their famous song The Sound…
©Courtesy of Neon Even in the far future, kids would be much better off minding their parents. The titular Arco learns that the hard way. He wanted to see dinosaurs, which sounds ridiculously irresponsible. Instead, he gets lost in time, crashing into the year 2075. At this point of human development, androids do the work…

Many motion pictures have shown this with canines, but there are also those that have portrayed the rapport with marine creatures like the Best Documentary Feature Oscar My Octopus Teacher; with equines such as Steven Spielberg’s War Horse;…
@Courtesy of Netflix About twenty years ago, thanks to the success of Narc and Smokin’ Aces, Joe Carnahan looked like the “next big thing” when it came to crime-movies. After that, with the exception of the highly underestimated The Grey, the screenwriter and director hasn’t been able to achieve anything truly remarkable. Or even worth…
@Courtesy of Sony Pictures There are two sequences that stand out in this sequel directed by Nia DaCosta, and both are basically duels. The first one is merely aesthetic, a beautifully crafted clash between the penetrating blue eyes of Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) and the red, crazy eyes of the Alpha Zombie (Chi Lewis-Parry). The…
