Emily – January 13
Exit outside our borders in 2022, Emily is a biographical drama that tells us the story of Emily Bronte, one of the most famous authors in the world. The difference from other biographies is that Frances O’Connor, its director, is carried away by the imagination when we talk about the life of the writer behind The Wuthering Heights.
Babylon – January 20
It’s a shame that a film as ambitious as Babylon was a dismal failure. Despite its high cost, in the United States it will not reach 20 million dollars, and it is strange to have in its cast such established stars as Margot Robbie there brad pitt. At least you can say that Damien Chazelle, its director, tried. And the result was very good creatively. This, yes, prepare 3 hours of your life.

Devotion: A Heroes Tale – January 27
During a very long time, sony tried to sell Devotion: a story of heroes like the new Superior gunbut deep down, it’s still a new drama with thriller overtones about the Cold War, changing the traditional spies for the role the pilots played in this conflict. However, it’s worth it if you like sequences shot in the air, because some of them are spectacular.
The Offering – January 27
My friend Javier could see The offering and describes this horror movie as a movie “entertaining that forgets its strengths as it enters the climax“. Also, as positive points, the good use of religious folklore, its setting and human dramawhile the negatives focus on repetitive formula that shows off and typical scares (jump scares).
Banshees of Inisherin – February 3
Colin Farrel there Brendan Glesson star in one of the films covered in the awards season, a black comedy nominated up to 10 times for the Bafta Award and another 9 in the Oscar 2023and he brought home 3 Golden Balls (including Best Comedy Film, Comedy Actor and Screenplay).
Knocking at the door – February 3
M.Night Shyamalan returns in 2023 with a film as entertaining as it is unoriginal: although it is better than Time oh Glass (Crystal)They knock on the door is guilty of a somewhat flat scenario whose interest is not always maintained. And slasher quite classic that will amuse you if you like the usual cinema at the director’s house.
The Fabelmans – February 10, 2023
Steven Spielberg He gives us in 2023 (although the film was released in 2022 in the United States) one of his best films: a fictionalized autobiography about his own life in which we follow the life of a family, and more precisely, of a boy who wants to dream big.
The Communion Girl – February 10, 2023
The Spanish Terror is gaining more and more importance, but The Communion Girl is not a Speedwell or a REC. It’s just a pretty classic scary proposition, which could be described as a mixture of annabelle with any movie of the genre that you have already seen. The best? This in the cinema works like a plan.
The Pilot – February 10, 2023
Action film simpler than the mechanism of a balloon. Of course, if you have seen the cinema of Gerard Butleryou know exactly what you will find here: a dizzyingly paced script, bland dialogue and typical B-movie special effects. That is to say, a very entertaining film that has already confirmed a sequel, in this case located on a ship.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania – February 17, 2023
You can like it more or less, but Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania It’s a throwback to what drove the Marvel Cinematic Universe during its early years: fun, tube action, and fairly simple characters. However, Kang the Conqueror it’s harsh and Cassie assumes an essential role. At least for me, he convinced me.

In 2018, Sony Pictures Entertainment created without making much noise ResearchAnd whodunnit which took advantage of a curious premise to shine: almost all of its images take place inside a computer.

Husband(two) – March 10, 2023
Typical Spanish comedy starring paco leon there ernesto alterio which managed to succeed in theaters with a premiere of more than 800,000 euros.

Without knowing at this stage where DC Extended Universe, Shazam! The fury of the gods It’s not as bad a movie as they make you think.
