Brand New Cherry Flavour (2021)

The story of Lisa Nova, a fresh faced director and author in the 90's, in a revenge story after the attempts to find producers for her intense short film takes unexpected turns.

'Brand New Cherry Flavor' is an unexpected miniseries from Netflix. An original and unusual story, as you would expect only from David Cronenberg. Unpredictable and very carnal, the series has all the components of a satisfying revenge story, as well as surprises of a natural and supernatural origin, faithfully but symbolically mirroring the ubiquitous human duality, the main characters being no exception to it.

Creator:  Nick Antosca, Lenore Zion

CHIPS (2017)

A rookie officer and an undercover FBI agent must learn to work together in porder to expose a corruption network within the California Highway Patrol.

An action / comedy film that brings back the glory of a popular series from the 80's to the big screen. Dax Shepard directs and starts in the film and does so quite well. The film is fun, although a bit mixed and incongruous in places but quite a few good scenes are well thought out, choreographed and the director seems to know what attracts the viewer's eye to maximize the humorous effect.

And Michael Peña is always welcome in the world of comedy.

Director:  Dax Shepard       

With: Michael Peña, Dax Shepard, Vincent D'Onofrio, Rosa Salazar, Kristen Bell

Rating: 7/10
