The cast is very good, each one carries its story in much of its transit you can identify, each episode shows the vulnerability of the characters and their motives for resistance to the unknown, attachment to the traditional, the pain that a love from the past may have caused, forgiveness, the belief that love can do everything we even see it, it is a very human story and that also takes you to want to transit and live the experience of knowing your family history.

I'm the king of the world!...My heart is beating | Titanic movie review
Sometimes we tend to point fingers and be prejudiced against other people, simply because of appearances, when we see attitudes that seem abnormal in the eyes of society. However, everyone is the master of his or her life and knows how to beat his or her chocolate, as Bertita's grandmother used to say. The interior of human beings is difficult to predict. Apparently, you can have everything, but deep inside you can lack that something that is needed to feel fulfilled, I believe that this happened to our friend Rosa, protagonist of this famous film.

Kaze Tachinu: un sueño con alas de metal – Opinión
Kaze Tachinu is an animation that runs in the opposite direction of Western animated feature films; watching it you will walk through the miracle of aviation and creative antithesis. A rose is not destructive until its petals are poisoned. I wonder if the Wright brothers ever thought that their feat would be replicated many years later, in the cataclysmic war that ended up reshaping world powers and the faces of aviation. I am not surprised that this film, inspired by real events, had such a subtle critique of war with such picturesque touches. It is undoubtedly another of Miyazaki's great works.

MOVIE REVIEW: “Expend4bles” (2023)
In this movie, in particular, in addition to being weak, the plot is full of absurdities (beyond the normal and already seen before) and this excludes any empathy on the part of the public (even its main group). Even the connecting thread presents itself as a lame excuse to try to create a plot that doesn't have the slightest impact. Except for some efficient action scenes (which is the minimum expected for these types of movies), nothing works: terrible acting, with a script trying to make itself relevant and all this amid a lost direction. The friendly spirit at the beginning of the franchise no longer exists and this, essentially, is what breaks everything that tries to be built.

Without mincing words, I feel this series is a powerful series that has captured the heart of many people all over the world with its compelling and lovable characters, rich and immersive world created, and themes of adventure. Trust me when I tell you that this series is a series you will never regret watching since it offers an unforgettable adventure.

El Curandero (Reseña) / The Healer (Review)
My favorite part of the film was the romantic ingredient that we can see in the characters of a young couple from different social classes who will do everything possible to be together. The kind and collaborative side of the healer also moved me and made me believe in the goodness of people. Like few doctors today, he had a vocation for service, he provided his help without thinking about whether people could pay him at the time.

Series Review | Liebes Kind (2023) | Could have been better
The narrative and plot arc is very well done and so is the structure of some of the characters, but it seems that there is not even the slightest interest in delving into the catacombs of this mystery. The series does not go deep enough into the psychology of the characters or their intimacy, it only leaves us pieces of a riddle that we must solve, which is a very serious fault in my opinion, I do not know if it was because of the time limit that the production had to adapt the novel by Romy Hausmann in episodes of less than an hour, or simply wanted to leave snippets for the viewer to draw their deductions; I faithfully hope it is the former, because if the reason they have left so many loose ends is because of the latter suspicion, then it would be very ominous.

Blue Beetle - Una película de latinos para latinos (Movie Review)
This film takes place after the events that occurred in the recently released The Flash, although it's estimated that it takes place in the future, after the changes that Barry Allen generated in the multiverse, changing many things, including a new timeline where other heroes already existed before. A lot of technology can be seen here, very similar to what we saw in Black Adam, so it will probably have some other hidden connection to reflect the new shape that this DCU is taking.

Perhaps this is the theme that carries the most weight in this story. Although everyone is gathered for a holiday, the tension that each character brings to the table makes us witness an uncomfortable coexistence between people who theoretically should treat each other better, since they don't see each other often. And thanks to the fact that there are important issues hidden in the second layer, those that are superficial and unimportant become heavier and intolerable. Are we humans really like that? It may be what the title suggests. Something like: "If you're a Martian and you want to know something about what some families have to deal with, watch this so you'll know what to expect, dear little monstrous one."

A Prank that Turns into a Nightmare | Review of "The Criminal Readers Club"
This is possibly one of the most predictable films I have ever seen. From the first moment you can guess who the culprit is and other details that are really too obvious, I don't know if they bet on the viewers suffering from amnesia and forgetting the ending of Scream or what, I found its outcome completely weak. There are some things that don't make any sense and that don't go according to the intentions presented to us by the characters. There are others that are never explained and are simply left up in the air, as if the writer and director had forgotten about them. Perhaps some of these details were made with the intention of leaving a few loose ends to tie up in a later sequel, but the truth is that I doubt it will have one.

Love at First Sight (2023): for the desperately romantic | para los desesperadamente románticos
It is logical that when reading the premise and seeing the title of the film we wonder if we believe in love at first sight. There are those who say that love does not arise immediately and that at first sight you can only feel a physical attraction, but there are those who - romantics to death - believe that yes, it is possible to fall in love with a person as soon as you see them. I do believe in love at first sight, but to better explain the way I understand it, I will leave you a paragraph from The Joke, the first novel by Milan Kundera, who recently passed away. The quote is the following:

"Song of the bandits": Un drama histórico muy entretenido 🎬
If I'm honest I don't like historical dramas, but this one is an exception, because it was really quite entertaining, you could notice the dedication to make this a great production. Obviously this adaptation is fictional even though this occupation did take place, but I liked the way they narrated this story from beginning to end (although they left us with an open ending), they did a great job with the setting, the photography, the music, the action scenes, the rhythm of the events and above all the performances.
Congratulations to everyone that was chosen, and thank you to everyone posting in Movies and TV Shows! We look forward to the next report and highlighting even more of you.
