Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

An explosion of titans, monsters, new breeds of gorillas and much more in this chaotic latest rendition of the Godzilla and Kong franchise: a perfect choice if you want to switch off your synapses. Mark: 5 / 10

Venom: The Last Dance

A pretty unconventional and enjoyable third chapter, with, as usual, a lighter approach and a somewhat moving end to the trilogy dedicated to this anti-hero. Mark: 6.5 / 10

The Wild Robot

"Sanders may pay tribute to the palette of Miyazaki and to classic Disney animation, but his nihilist reflex gives way to commercial sentimentality, reducing morality to manipulation." - Armond White (National Review). Nothing to add. A disappointment. Period. Mark: 5.5 / 10

Sully

Based on the incredible splashdown (with no casualties at all) of a US Airways airliner back in January 2009, it follows the publicity and investigation of the aftermath. Strongly directed by Clint Eastwood, this movie boasts an awesome performance by Tom Hanks. Mark: 7.5 / 10

Wicked Little Letters

Based on the real Littlehampton libels, occurred around one hundred years ago in England, it's a very enjoyable black comedy, wisely adapted and with a tremendous cast (Colman and Buckley are simply great). Mark: 7 / 10

The Florida Project

Carrying on with Sean Baker's filmography, I decided to recover this products, dating eight years back. The premises are pretty good, but I must say that the development of the story is frankly extreme, especially in the characters building. A good picture, though, with a great performance by Willem Dafoe. Mark: 7 / 10
