If there’s one thing that stands out about this action-comedy hybrid, it’s that they’ve managed to create something different – something that, in the hands of Jason Statham or Gerald Butler, would have been just another run-of-the-mill film. You just need to sit back and not take any of it too seriously.
A body horror film that offers a fresh take on unified field theory and the romantic phrase “till death do us part.” It successfully delivers on its mission to scare viewers without resorting to cheap tricks, instead turning their stomachs.
It is true that Pixar has had its ups and downs over its 30-year history. What is certain is that this adventure, which highlights the importance of respecting and caring for the environment, is a success. Children and adults alike will be enchanted by the characters and humour.
Hard as rock candy, this drama depicts the risky, reckless first attempts to expose the atrocities of the **** regime to the world. As a viewer, one is left frozen, unable to look away. Anyone who doesn't feel a hole in their soul after watching this should see a doctor.
What makes this sports drama interesting is that it has its own voice, and seeing Dwayne Johnson in a very different role than usual. Not to mention the ring fight scenes, which feel authentic. To kill 130 minutes with minimal pain.
One of the latest additions to Latin American cinema, this Brazilian drama draws its magnetism from its realistic tone, set in a nightmarish era. It requires a great deal of discipline from the viewer, but in the end, one is well rewarded.
If this religious drama has charisma, it is because of its tone, which rubs shoulders with reality, and the acting duel between Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep. The end result leaves no one indifferent and is worthy of debate. Those who have not seen it, hurry up.
A magical and mysterious journey in search of identity and new sensations, which in the long run will be both instructive and self-destructive. The highlight is seeing an inconceivable ex-007 Daniel Craig. To watch it, you need an open mind.
With its conceptual watercolour art, the story **** and her view of the world and her interaction with it, this is one of those films that still allows us to have faith in the animation genre. Those who have not yet seen it, do not wait any longer.
An almost classic from the 1980s, from David Zucker's golden years. The idea was to parody World War II spy films. The jokes come thick and fast and work quite well, remaining relevant today. Anyone who doesn't laugh should consult their doctor.
Why George Lazenby failed to fill the shoes of the iconic Agent 007 is partly a mystery. The story does fulfil its purpose, just like the previous instalments, were it not for the absence of the typical gadgets and the atypical but tragic final act. Nothing is lost by watching it out of curiosity.
Its connection to the John Wick saga is justified, and the choreography is spot on, without overwhelming the viewer. As an action film, it is entertaining escapism for a weekend.
There are remakes that are well justified, and others that are not. This one, based on a famous French comedy, falls somewhere in between. It does make an effort to be funny, and it's nice to see Robin Williams without all his tics; it would have been a little better if it weren't for the slow pace. That's the problem.
Translating an ancient legend into the present day, with all of today's fashions, seemed absurd, but at least it was interesting and entertaining. The conceptual art is just as fans of the genre know it, and they are the ones who will be most grateful.
Films like this keep true film buffs believing in the animated genre. The plot exudes ingenuity with realistic themes and brings a breath of fresh air to the time travel cliché, with three-dimensional characters who are neither good nor bad. Drop everything you're doing and rush to see it.
In the superhero genre, this is one of those cases where the sequel could have doubled what the previous film achieved, but it allowed the special effects to do almost all the work. That's why it feels a bit wasted, although not entirely. It can be watched with minimal expectations.
The formula is quite well known, and if there is anything to be thankful for, it is that it has its own identity despite all the clichés, including the unintentional humour. A good choice for a weekend.
What makes this period drama interesting is how and why a personal tragedy served as the model for one of the greatest tragedies in literature. Not to be impressed by it or the performances would be insensitive. It is worth getting to know it.
If there is no honour among thieves, there is none among police officers either. What makes this story appealing, even though it is not entirely original, is that it is based on real events and people. The plot gradually takes shape, and that is where you get hooked. A good choice for a weekend.
If we overlook the film's sardonic title and the Byzantine debate over whether or not it belongs to the iconic 007 saga, the idea might have worked much better if it weren't for the notion that the plot was cobbled together from bits and pieces of previous films. What matters is that all you have to do is pop some popcorn, sit back in a comfortable seat, and not take anything too seriously. For useless trivia: Lorenzo Semple Jr. was one of the screenwriters for the 1960s Batman series.
Of all the times Roger Moore played James Bond, this may well be the best. Why? Because it doesn't borrow from previous instalments or unrelated films. The action scenes are justified enough to enjoy with the essential popcorn.
Danny DeVito's first experiment as a director was, as far as we can see, to pay tribute to Hitchcock. The effort could perhaps have been better; it is funny, but the humour falls short.
The story of a playwright and his struggle with the blank page is like a love letter, synchronised, to creative block, the surreal and B movies. This is one of those films that you can't help but love, even though you don't understand half of what's happening on screen, or because of that final act that leaves you with more questions than answers. It would be a shame to miss it.
If this social satire is on everyone's lips, it is because it is easy to empathise with the film's “hero”; his desperate situation is not at all at odds with reality if one thinks about it carefully. To overlook it would be a regrettable mistake.
With a certain flavour reminiscent of Raging Bull, the story of an aspiring champion and his spiral of self-destruction based on lies, poor sportsmanship and pride has a lot going for it, particularly thanks to Timothée Chalamet.
Inspired by a true story, that is the vital and appealing point of the film, which manages to be more than just another feel-good movie, and that credit goes to Steve Coogan. Just what you need for a Saturday afternoon.
The Achilles heel of romantic comedies is that once you've seen one, you've seen them all, and nothing seems new. This one, which is based on a book, wouldn't be all bad if it weren't for Emily Bader; watching her in action is like a task fit for Hercules. By comparison, Twilight deserves more understanding (go ahead, throw your tomatoes).
The forging, rise and fall of a champion. With a distinctive visual style, what best sets this sports drama apart is its sobriety, free of triumphalist clichés.
United as a family, separated by music, and reunited in tragedy. It is the performances and the music that stand out most in this true drama, which manages to capture the viewer's interest without resorting to cheap sentimentality, something that is greatly appreciated.
I am not familiar with the original book. The plot is reminiscent of what we have seen and read before, and it might be a little better if it did not overuse erotic and violent elements. It does deliver on its promise of generating suspense, but nothing extraordinary. It is worth watching if you are in a good mood.
The story of three characters trapped in an extreme situation is somewhat reminiscent of Polanski's early works. It may not be on a par with his greatest achievements, but seeing Weaver and Kingsley together makes it well worth the effort.
What is interesting here is that they knew how to adapt a real drama, without exaggeration or sensationalism, and with complete fidelity and just the right amount of suspense. Not to mention the outstanding performances.
The complexity of directing films and re-establishing family ties, both of which are explored in a drama that takes its time to unfold, doing so with neatness and excellence. One of the most talked-about films of 2025, and rightly so.
The plot isn't groundbreaking, but it's not far from reality. Kate Winslet's directorial debut is acceptable enough, making the most of the cast, of which she is also a part. It's a good way to kill two hours with minimal pain at the end of 2025.
From theater to cinema. The musical about a frustrated deserter and his encounter with hippie culture may seem anachronistic to some. Perhaps, but what makes it immortal are its songs and its legacy.
What is most appreciated and valued about this drama is how it is handled from the perspective of a child's innocence and simplicity, through the eyes of a young girl, and how she copes with her dilemma in the face of an almost distant mother and sister. All this without sentimental clichés. Bravo.
It is entertaining, yes. The special effects are getting better and better. If it has a flaw, it is that it gives the impression that the idea is becoming repetitive, and that the plot feels saturated. If you are going to watch it, clear your mind and arm yourself with patience.
In the same vein as Agatha Christie, a mysterious crime. It's true that it takes its time to take shape at first, but it makes up for it quite well by retaining the viewer's interest and making them part of the game. Should we expect a fourth instalment?
What gives this Italian comedy its flavour is its biographical style, which almost mirrors real life. For those looking for options with minimal pretension
The story of a natural loser who strikes gold with an abandoned TV channel bears the hallmarks of Weird Al Jankovic, namely his parodic and **** humour. If anything, his fans will be grateful; those who aren't, look elsewhere.
As weekend escapism, it passes the test, thanks to its dose of suspense. To say that it is a warning about the risks of computer abuse and the danger of arms build-up would be an exaggeration.
If cinema can reflect moments in time, or a lifetime, this is one such example. The story of an actor, with his origins, conflicts and redemption, achieves an emotional connection with the viewer, precisely because of its resemblance to real life. The closest thing to the best of winter 2025.
There are films that are not made to please everyone, and this is one of them. Based on a Korean film, Lanthimos's hallmark is notorious for its surreal and bizarre characters, with a final act that would leave even the Devil himself perplexed.
What if Quentin Tarantino had directed Rambo? This Nordic production is the most concrete answer. Dark, visceral humour with a fairly credible script. Perfect for a low-key weekend viewing
You could count on your fingers the sequels that match or surpass the original. This one achieves its purpose, with likeable characters and a well-justified story with its social message in just the right place. One of the best family options for the end of the year. Those with eagle eyes and an elephant's memory will spot the film references.
Despite its slow pace and tranquil music, the story of a railway worker has something that captivates us and makes us empathise with the main character. Of course, the final act leaves you feeling as if you have lost a friend.
With a certain nostalgic flavour, the days when radio was the queen of entertainment, and how it influenced different people, for better or for worse. With Woody Allen's distinctive stamp. Long life of Dianne Wiest
It may not have the same energy and magnetism as the previous chapter. The truth is that it was able to captivate viewers and connect with The Wizard of Oz, without trying to be equal to or superior to the classic.
This comedy-drama about old age may not be one of Michael Caine's best performances. In its favour is that it knows how to connect with the audience and win their sympathy. It's worth seeing on stage without being too demanding.
