Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)

Harley Quinn, assisted by Black Canary, Huntress and the police officer who is tracking her, tries to save a little girl from an underworld boss.

'Birds of Prey' is a sequel/spinoff of Suicide Squad which was not necessary. Margot Robbie fans will be happy. The movie is cute but easy to forget.

Director:  Cathy Yan  

With: Margot Robbie, Rosie Perez, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett, Ewan McGregor, Chris Messina, Ali Wong

Rating: 7/10

The Dead Don't Die (2019)

Centerville residents find themselves in the middle of an unexplained zombie epidemic.

"The Dead Don't Die" is an art film, by well known auteur Jim Jarmusch, a film which is disguised as a zombie horror comedy. The film is all of the above, but moreover, it's a satire that comments on the current era of digital consumerism. The message does not even try to be subtle, and the comedy has its main sources coming from the placidity of some of the characters when faced with the events and the rich dialogue that crosses the barrier of the film with small references to the real context of the production.

Bonus: the film has a whole collection of unexpected cameos (Iggy Pop, Selena Gomez, Tilda Swinton and so on).

Director:  Jim Jarmusch      

With: Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tom Waits, Chloë Sevigny, Tom Waits, Caleb Landry Jones, RZA, Rosie Perez, Tilda Swinton, Danny Glover, Steve Buscemi, Carol Kane, Iggy Pop
