Trailer
Why watch this film?
In terms of pure escapism and free of pretense, "Megatubarão" delivers what it promises. With a plot and performances that don't take themselves too seriously, this movie offers action in the purest blockbuster style (with a dash of terror thrown in). The protagonist is Jason Statham ('Parker'), a familiar face in this type of production. If you don't have high expectations and want almost two hours of entertainment, this movie is for you.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Just like in 'National Treasure', star Nicolas Cage sought to reach a younger audience with 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'. It worked: the movie, which rode the wave of successes like 'Harry Potter' and repeated director Jon Turteltaub's signature (from 'Shark Tale' and 'Last Vegas Trip'), brought magic to a playful and fun universe while telling the story of a powerful wizard (Cage) who, to fight a great enemy (Alfred Molina, wonderfully cartoonish), ends up recruiting a normal young man. But of course, he ends up having powerful hidden powers and becomes a sorcerer's apprentice. And so, without great surprises, the movie reveals itself as a very pleasant entertainment for all kinds of audiences looking for a light, pleasant and not exaggerated story. There are intrigues, lots of magic, interesting special effects. And the main thing: there is a visibly excited Nicolas Cage conjuring spells and, once again, fighting evil.
National Treasure
Mix of 'Indiana Jones' and 'The Da Vinci Code', 'National Treasure' is one of those kid-friendly adventures that will keep anyone entertained. Here, Nicolas Cage is the protagonist of a delightful exploration story to have fun, be entertained and dive in. Obviously, the star is much more behaved, in one of his most sympathetic performances. However, it is very interesting to know this kid-friendly side of the actor, who ended up becoming a renowned figure for new generations due to the various showings of 'National Treasure' on Globo TV's Afternoon Session.
Horror
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
28 Days Later
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs – and it’s absolutely impossible to contain.
The Jack in the Box Rises
When Raven is sent to an all-girls boarding school, she unleashes a demon from a mysterious vintage jack-in-the-box hidden on the school grounds. Will the students make it out alive, or will the demon claim the victims it requires to remain alive?
Nudus
From director Gibrán Bazán, pupil of legendary cult filmmaker Juan López Moctezuma (Alucarda), NUDUS is a science fiction thriller that, with few resources, aspires to create the worst conceivable dystopia of our digital age: a world in which everyone's data is accessible to everyone, and for any purpose, after a major global hack. The plot follows a woman (Carla Hernández) who, upon waking up from a prolonged coma, is confronted by a stranger (Álex Crusa) who seems to know everything about her: everything she has written on WhatsApp and Facebook, all the videos she has sent to her contacts, all the humiliating information she has said in private. From this moment on, NUDUS seems more concerned with the mystery of its characters than with the greater background of their situation, so it becomes more about the exploitation of its female protagonist than a reflection on technology and data privacy. However, despite the plot going off the rails, the situation lends itself to exemplifying a catastrophic scenario of these breaches in privacy.
