Onward (2020)

Two elf brothers, very different to each other, embark on a magical adventure to see their father one last time.

'Onward' is a fantasy animated film, with a family story that has appropriate messages about tolerance, accepting each other's differences and recognizing hidden qualities. Fun and emotional

Director:  Dan Scanlon      
With: Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer

Rating: 8/10

Thunder Force (2021)

Two childhood friends meet again as adults after the genius one of them has become very successful as a scientist, a fact which helped her come up with an artificial way to create superheroes.

A comedy film of more or less the run-of-the-mill kind. There are moments of humor of course, but the quality comedy that is worth its cost is pretty much nowhere to be found in all 106 minutes. There are few movies that can be seen with the whole family which aren't animated, and Thunder Force is one such example, but it just does not justify the excess investment.

Director:  Ben Falcone   
With: Melissa McCarthy, Octavia Spencer, Jason Bateman, Bobby Cannavale

Gifted (2017)

Un unchi ce isi creste nepoata super dotata este nevoit sa o trimita la scoala pentru a o incuraja sa aibe o viata normala dar deschide poarta pentru interventii nedorite ale apropiatilor.

Un film drama cu destula sare si piper pentru a atrage gusturi variate. Bine jucat si cu personaje usor de placut, filmul se concentreaza pe lumea din jurul unui copil special, fiecare individ crezand ca stie mai bine de ce are nevoie. Simpatic, cu destul umor si cateva lacrimi, Gifted nu isi va lasa spectatorii nepasatori.

Regia:  Marc Webb   
Cu: Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, Lindsay Duncan, Octavia Spencer
