‘The lost city’ (‘The Lost City’)
A romantic adventure comedy that recovers the spirit of ‘Tras el corazón verde’ to shape a pastime designed to show off Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. Both comply with ease, but who really shines is Brad Pitt in a small guest appearance.

One of the first movies we all think of when Easter arrives. An epic film of those that gave meaning to the concept of cinema bigger than lifealso having ingredients to please all kinds of audiences, although it must be taken into account that its narrative is typical of the time.

‘Life of Brian’ (‘Life of Brian’)
A true classic of comic cinema and an especially essential film during Holy Week. The Monty Python They hit the bullseye by poking fun at the Jesus story with a parody full of hilarious gags and unforgettable scenes.

‘Cellular’
A vibrant old-school thriller written by Larry Cohen, one of those that is rarely done in Hollywood anymore. Squeezing a fairly limited premise and with a very well chosen cast, it is a most solvent pastime that does not deserve to be so forgotten.

‘Better… impossible’ (‘As Good As It Gets’)
A notable romantic comedy in which the character played brilliantly by Jack Nicholson stands out, but the truth is that both Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear do not detract from that interpretive animal in the least. To that we add a great and measured script and we are left with a film that in almost any other hands would have been much worse.

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers’ (‘The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers’)
The second installment of the trilogy of Peter Jackson It’s still an intermediate adventure on the journey to destroy the One Ring, but it’s still very entertaining and visually impressive, especially the epic battle in Helm’s Deep.

‘The Rider’
The film that put many on the map Chloe Zhao, in which it already showed that style in which it would later affect again but with inferior results to those shown here. A close and moving work that also leaves moments of great visual beauty.
