The Tomorrow War (2021)

A physics teacher leaves his family to fight in a war 30 years in the future.

'The Tomorrow War' is a sci-fi action movie with some logic flaws, but a success in terms of entertainment. It's not anything special, but its heart is in the right place and the audience is not disappointed.

Director:  Chris McKay    

With: Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, J.K. Simmons, Betty Gilpin

Rating: 7/10

La La Land (2016)

A pianist and an actress who are trying their luck in the over-busy workforce of Los Angeles fall in love and try to reconcile their individual aspirations.

'La La Land' is a drama film in the form of a musical. Slight moments of comedy occur from time to time but drama remains its basis. It's a beautiful film that challenges the audience with nostalgia for the classic, art, individuality, love and partial codependency and losing. And good music, very elegantly and skillfully choreographed by a young director who has already made waves (with Whiplash as director/screenwriter and many non-musicals as screenwriter).

Director:  Damien Chazelle    

With: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Rosemarie DeWitt, J.K. Simmons

Rating: 9/10

Palm Springs (2020)

Blocat intr-o bucla temporala, Nyles retraieste aceeasi zi la o nunta si reuseste sa o blocheze si pe sora miresei accidental.

O comedie romantica in stilul lui Groundhog Day, modernizata cu umorul lui Andy Samberg si un dialog bogat si bine intretinut. Elementul SF este un pretext bun pentru o caracterizare a personalitatlor celor doi si atractia romantica complexa a acestora dar si pentru o situatie neobisnuita a unei a doua sansa pentru a rectifica nu numai problema de fata dar multe din consecintele deciziilor proaste din viata personajelor, totul scris intr-un mod original si foarte placut de vizionat.

Regia:  Max Barbakow    

Cu: Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, J.K. Simmons, Peter Gallagher

Rating: 9/10
