The Suicide Squad (2021)

The Corto Maltese Island is the location of the latest mission of Task Force X, composed of supervillains under the control of the American government.

'The Suicide Squad' is the sequel to film with a very similar name that had quite a negative reception in 2016. With fresh energy that includes only two of the pseudo-heroes from the first film (Harley Quinn and Colonel Flag), this film rewrites the story of the first one in a very similar way, namely with an over-the-top style, an absurdist context, characters who keep their comic-based essence and the in-your-face intention to show that the lack of realism of the first film was entirely intentional and not just an ignorant accident.

Director:  James Gunn

Bumblebee (2018)

Charlie il descopera pe Bumblebee in 1987, ranit si deghizat ca un VW Beetle.

Un fel de spin-off de la Transformers, Bumblebee este practic un film de familie, cu actiunea si simpaticimile de rigoare. Bumblebee este un favorit pentru fani, as ca isi merita propriul film. Actiunea e ok, diluata cum te-ai astepta, povestea e simpatica fara prea multa emfaza si aerul anilor 80 functioneaza ok.

Regia:  Travis Knight   

Cu: Hailee Steinfeld, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Cena, Jason Drucker

Blockers (2018)

Trei parinti apropiati datorita prieteniei fiicelor lor se unesc in incercarea de a le opri planurile de a-si pierde virginitatea in noaptea balului.

Un film comedie mai mult sau mai putin verosimil ce pune niste parinti carismatici in situatii comice in telul mai mult sau mai putin scuzabil de a controla viata copiilor lor. Nu este o comedie speciala, ci chiar foloseste adesea clisee si glume obosite, dar personajele sunt facute atat de simpatice de actorii ce le dau viata, ca multe sunt iertate si filmul poate fi savurat cu usuratatea necesara.

Regia:  Kay Cannon   

Cu: Leslie Mann, John Cena, Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Newton
