The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)

Superstar Nick Cage is approached by the CIA to help them capture Javi - cartel boss and his biggest fan.

'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent' is an action comedy in which Nicolas Cage parodies himself. The humor is present but not in the expected quantities, and the best part of the whole thing is the presence of Pedro Pascal who is adorable in the role of Javi

Director:  Tom Gormican   
With: Nicolas Cage, Pedro Pascal, Tiffany Haddish, Sharon Horgan, Sharon Horgan, Neil Patrick Harris, Lily Mo Sheen, Ike Barinholtz

Rating: 6/10

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

Neo is somehow trapped in the artificial world of the Matrix again, but a group of followers make the necessary effort to help him escape again and regain the powers he once had.

'The Matrix Resurrections' is a sequel to a beloved film that reconciles the adventures of past iterations and satisfies the fanbase's need for a sequel and a slightly more romantic story but also a story that's more grounded in a world closer to the current reality. The effort is admirable and half successful, but it was not necessary. Fans will be happy though.
Also, fans might recognize all or almost all of the actors of Sense8.

Director:  Lana Wachowski      
With: Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jonathan Groff, Jessica Henwick, Jada Pinkett Smith, Neil Patrick Harris, Priyanka Chopra Jonas
