Why watch this film?
After '22 Miles', director Peter Berg and actor Mark Wahlberg team up again for 'Spenser Confidential', which plays with the elements of buddy cop movies (like 'Lethal Weapon') to mix action and humor in one story. The plot is about an ex-cop who finds himself involved in the murder of the police chief - and joins forces with an MMA fighter (Winston Duke, from 'Black Panther') to solve the crime. There is a certain mystery at the beginning of the story, but it's one of those you will "solve" quickly. Special mention to Alan Arkin's ('Argo') and Iliza Shlesinger's ('Instant Family') performances, both responsible for much of the laughs of the movie, along with the dog Pearl. Although it doesn't present anything new or surprising, or even breath-taking action sequences, the film has the merit of entertaining.

Mile 22
Mark Wahlberg ('The Departed') stars in a movie that might give you a sense of déjà vu. After all, he leads a team of government agents trying to prevent the United States from being attacked by external enemies. Still, the film makes up for this common place with dynamic action and fight scenes, which even got the boost of a real fighter: UFC's Ronda Rousey. The cast also features John Malkovich ('Red', 'Bird Box'). If you want lots of violence to watch while eating a buttery popcorn, you'll certainly like '22 Miles'.
Hancock
Before we were enchanted by Wakanda and "Black Panther," the cinema knew another type of African-American hero. Far from the glamour of T'Challa, Hancock portrays a more mocking image of someone with powers (and very real problems). Will Smith makes a beautiful caricature of a character that was not inspired by comics - like most superheroes. Unfortunately, the production did not fall into the taste of the public, but it is still good and makes interesting criticism of society, and also of deification. The movie even makes a parallel with racial prejudice, showing a black hero as an unsuccessful alcoholic.
Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 2
Rihanna is back with her lingerie collection! 'Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 2' follows the same line of the defunct 'Victoria's Secret Fashion Show': it's a show with musical guests. However, the big difference is that the brand owner, Rihanna, brought inclusion and diversity to the stage, something rarely seen in the fashion world. This edition has shows by Rosalía, Travis Scott, Miguel, Bad Bunny, Mustard, Roddy Ricch and Ella Mai. If you liked the 2019 attraction, you will surely like the 2020 version too.
