this weekend of March 4 to 6, 2022 It arrives loaded with film novelties, both premieres on the big screen and streaming releases, without forgetting titles that finally appear in physical format or those that can be seen on a national Spanish television channel. Today I propose a selection of 11 ideal movies For these days.
At the cinema
‘The Batman’
The first solo adventure Robert Pattinson as the superhero of Gotham is a dark and ambitious film in which Matt Reeves take to David Fincher as a reference, paying special attention to ‘Seven’, to shape a great presentation film -not origins-.

‘A hero’ (‘A Hero’)
The new feature film Asghar Farhadi he uses the simple and the everyday to explore the concept of the heroic in a calm but exciting way. It is also a film that perfectly captures the fact that having a winning narrative is no guarantee of anything and can end up backfiring on you.

streaming
‘West Side Story’
One of the best movies of last year finally arrives at Disney +. Unfortunately, the latest behind-the-scenes work to date from steven spielberg It did not seduce the public during its time in theaters and we hope that now it will. He is visually brilliant and knows how to make just the right touches to bring the story up to date without betraying it.

‘Lost in the Arctic’ (‘Against the Ice’)
This week’s big premiere Netflix is this film based on true events starring and co-written by Nicolaj Coster-Waldau. Unfortunately, he doesn’t quite know how to squeeze the juicy base material, but surely not a few will enjoy this story of survival in extreme conditions more with me.
in physical format
‘The Mitchells against the machines’ (‘The Mitchells vs the Machines’)
My favorite movie from last year is this sensational animated adventure that came to us from Netflix, but since it’s not their original, we’re going to have a physical edition, and full of extras. Very funny, exciting whenever it is proposed and with a magnificent gallery of characters. Has it all.

‘Ghostbusters: Beyond’ (‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’)
An acceptable attempt to relaunch the franchise after the failure of the female reboot that throws a lot of nostalgia, both towards the saga itself and that of certain youth productions of the 80s. It gives a bit of a design product sensation so as not to bother anyone, but after a month it is not limited to being more of the same.

in TV
‘The cabin’
Great medium-length film directed by Antonio Mercero and starring Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez in which what in other hands would have gone beyond that is condensed into just over 30 minutes. This forceful metaphor did not need more to deserve a privileged place within Spanish fiction.

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’
The epic conclusion to the trilogy of Peter Jackson Based on Tolkien’s mythical novel. Perhaps it goes on a little longer in the epilogue, but first it is an impressive film that has well deserved both its popular success and its prestige, since it was rewarded with an Oscar.

‘Ladybird’
He had already co-directed a film almost a decade before, but it was here that Greta Gerwig proved to be a filmmaker called to give great joy to lovers of the seventh art. Inspired portrait of adolescence in general and of that moment in which we are trying to fit in without succeeding in particular.

‘Kong: Skull Island’
A top-notch show with a lot of visual strength and some memorable scenes. So much so that it manages to superimpose a most improvable script that presents a group of characters that should have given much more of themselves.

‘The final trick (The prestige)’ (‘The Prestige)’
The movie of Christopher Nolan that better resists the revised ones, to the point that it is their only work that I have been liking even more thanks to them. In it he once again has obsessive characters, perfectly played by Hugh Jackman and Christian Baleto impeccably build a fascinating story.
