Garfield: The Movie
After a short and not very successful stay in live action In the early 2000s, Jim Davis’s work again reached animated films. This is a good opportunity to pay homage not only to the original comic (which Mark Dindal’s film achieves with plenty of nods and references), but also to offer a completely new story. One that even talks about the origins of the beloved orange cat, with an over-the-top love of lasagna.
This time in the voice of Chris Pratt (Star-Lord from the saga) Guardians of the Galaxy), the character experiences a great adventure away from home and the care of John (Nicholas Hoult). But what begins with Garfield searching for his biological parents… It will end with an assault and the greatest feat of his life.

Much worse, in the middle of an unexplained pregnancy and the possibility of death. The film ends with one of the most shocking scenes in modern horror. And also in the opportunity for her protagonist to demonstrate that she is more than just a dramatic heroine. It achieves something with a magnificent final episode in the history of chilling cinema.
Star Wars. Episode I: The Phantom Menace
The first of the so-called prequels will return to theaters on May 4 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its premiere. But there is much more to demonstrate its scope, importance and relevance in the Star Wars saga.

From animated series to the latest live action. The truth is that the origins of some of the most famous stories from a galaxy far, far away are more popular than ever.
The origins of Jedi Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and the first appearance of Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) make up a more political story than one might assume. Additionally, one that serves as the basis for a tragedy that will ultimately devastate those sensitive to the Force and its allies.
Introducing the next generation of George Lucas’ franchise: a thoughtful universe that expands into a space that the creator imagines to be colorful and full of life. If you’ve never seen them on the big screen or want to do so again, this is your perfect opportunity.
