New installment of the legendary franchise that revitalized the genre slasher set in the late 1990s and which brings us back to Neve Campbell, now far from her youthful years, back in her hometown to find out who has committed a series of crimes. Self-referential humor and many old acquaintances for a sequel that rides the nostalgic waveto beyond the already spent eighty.

‘The peacemaker’

Magnificent start to this sequel to one of the most unique characters in James Gunn’s ‘The Suicide Squad’. He survived that nonsense but still has to carry out missions at the command of the government. Quirky secondary, extreme and thug humor, a John Cena in his sauce and tasty recoveries of heroes and villains of third of the DC Universe whom no one seemed to remember, such as Judo Master or Vigilante.

‘Naomi’

At the absolute opposite extreme of James Gunn’s vision of superheroes is that of the CW network, the Warner subsidiary that has made a fortune with its friendly and general vision of DC heroes. To its new versions of classic heroes like Flash or Supergirl are added their own heroes, and in that wave is this ‘Naomi’, recently released in the United States and which portrays the discovery of a teenager of a series of powers Superhuman.

‘File 81’

James Wan (‘Saw’, ‘Warren Files’) is the producer of this horror series inspired by the podcast of the same title that used found footage to tell your story.

‘Macbeth’

Apple TV+ continues, on its small scale, standing up to the high-flying premieres of platforms such as Netflix or Disney + with more modest but equally luxurious films. In this case, a trio of top-notch names (Joel Coen, directing solo for the first time, Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand) adapting a classic revisited a thousand times, but here with a very careful black and white aesthetic that is waking up on fire. praise among critics.

‘astronomer’

Lovely space exploration adventure that, although it can be played alone, finds its full potential in cooperative play.
