Why watch this film?
With a cast featuring Orlando Bloom (of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'The Lord of the Rings' sagas), Freida Pinto ('Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'), Leslie Odom Jr ('Hamilton') and Cynthia Erivo ('Harriet'), 'Needle in a Timestack' follows a passionate couple who get lost due to the interference of a third element, the protagonist's ex-husband. The screenplay is by John Ridley, of '12 Years a Slave' and responsible for the series 'American Crime', here also acting as director. Thus, a time travel plot is built - which is not mentioned in the story, although it is possible to catch in the air what is happening according to how the movie progresses. That's why the feature film is a bit confusing, but we know that our life will always be shaped according to our choices and, deep down, the narrative ends up making us reflect on this. The pace of the production is slow, but it makes us continue - and there is a surprise at the end, making the wait worthwhile.

Shirley
Shirley is an intimate portrayal of the pioneering political icon Shirley Chisholm (portrayed here by Regina King, from Ray and If Beale Street Could Talk), the first Black congresswoman and the first Black woman to run for President of the United States. The film depicts the personal cost this endeavor took on Shirley, as well as the behind-the-scenes of Chisholm's historic presidential campaign, based on extensive and exclusive conversations with family, friends, and those who knew her best. Alongside King, standout performances come from Terrence Howard (Crash) and Lance Reddick (from John Wick).

Hellboy: The Crooked Man
Hellboy: The Crooked Man is the fourth attempt to bring the "red one" to the big screen — two of which were well-received, directed by Guillermo del Toro. In this one, director Brian Taylor works closely with Mike Mignola, the character's creator, to make a smaller film: clearly, there’s a lower budget, reducing the space Hellboy occupies. It’s a more contained and less megalomaniac film, heavily inspired by folk horror. At the same time, it is also a much stranger film than the previous ones: Hellboy is more disillusioned, not believing in life, and somewhat more passive. This may be the weakest adaptation of the four, mainly due to the lack of money to make something good — the digitally created spider and raccoon look like they’re from a 2000s video game. Still, Hellboy: The Crooked Man is a good attempt that aims to change the tone of the franchise and show that there is something interesting out there.

Dry Ground Burning
Just released from prison, Léa returns home to the Brasilia favela of Sol Nascente and joins up with her half-sister Chitara, the fearless leader of an all-female gang that steals and refines oil from underground pipes and sells gasoline to a clandestine network of motorcyclists. Living in constant opposition to Jair Bolsonaro’s fiercely authoritarian and militarized government, Chitara’s women claim the streets for themselves as a declaration of radical political resistance on behalf of ex-cons and the oppressed.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson returns to Middle-earth with the first of three films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's enduring masterpiece. Set in Middle-earth 60 years before the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, the adventure follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of dwarves on a journey into wild, treacherous lands swarming with beasts of every ilk. Although their goal lies to the East, they must first escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever...Gollum. Alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo gains possession of Gollum's "precious" -- a simple, gold ring tied to the fate of all Middle-earth.

Borderlands
Borderlands is a movie that was talked about for a long time but seemed to never get off the ground—the success of the video game was enticing, but the curse surrounding video game-based movies seemed heavier. That was until, in a rather unlikely turn of events, filmmaker Eli Roth (Hostel) took the lead on the project. In fact, "unlikely" is an adjective that works well for this title: not only is it surprising that it got off the ground, but much of the cast seems out of place here (especially Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis). The story, after all, is outrageous: a group of mercenaries must rescue the daughter of a powerful man while there's a race to find a treasure on a planet at the edge of the galaxy. Fun, though exaggerated in its tone, the movie oscillates between a children's audience and science fiction for Star Wars fans at every moment, never quite knowing which side to lean towards. Still, it should entertain those looking for an unpretentious and laid-back space opera, without worrying about creating very complex worlds and universes—besides all the surprise with Blanchett, in her most bizarre role to date.
