Hello! As part of our ongoing efforts to improve both interaction and curation in the Movies and TV Shows Community, this post is one of many to highlight and boost members of the past week that have posted what we believe is exceptional content.

The Details

Each week, our Moderators will monitor the posts within the Movies and TV Shows Community and handpick the ones that are believed to stand out under numerous factors: post quality, length, and subject.

There are no entry requirements, and this is not a contest, but simply a roundup intended to provide additional exposure to all of you for your efforts. Just have fun posting in the Movies & TV Shows Community and five or more posts will be chosen frequently.

Contratiempo | Crítica de cine y reflexión - Film Review and Thoughts

This is a suspenseful, crime, and intrigue movie that begins with a man waking up in a hotel room next to the lifeless body of his lover. He becomes the prime suspect in the murder investigation. He is a well-known businessman who is taken to court for this death. To avoid being found guilty, as there is no evidence of another person being there, he hires the services of the best witness preparer lawyer. As they prepare his defense and narrate the events, they show flashbacks of all the parallel stories, the death of the woman and the disappearance of the young man that the parents were looking for, fitting all the pieces together in the same timeline.

3 movies to know Woody Allen | 3 películas para conocer a Woody Allen

Now, if you don't want to venture into that movie because it is very old, then I can recommend Midnight in Paris (2011), another comedy that, although it is also romantic, the center of the story is self-discovery and fidelity to one's own vocation. Gil Pender (Owen Wilson) is a somewhat bohemian writer who is in the middle of a professional crisis (he wants to stop writing film scripts and start writing novels) and arrives with his fiancée Inez (Rachel McAdams) and her parents to Paris to spend a few days. We immediately notice that Inez's family, including herself, is a bit snobbish and superficial, while Gil seems more concerned with some more real and, above all, more romantic things. Going to used goods bazaars, looking for old Cole Porter records, walking through the streets of Paris in the rain, are things that Gil wants to do, but his fiancee doesn't (or not in the same spirit) so one night Gil ventures to tour Paris without suspecting that, out of nowhere, a car will pick him up to take him to a famous Parisian club from another time where he can meet people like Ernest Hemingway, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Luis Buñuel and many other of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century. Mixing romance, comedy and fantasy, Allen gives us a nostalgic story that builds on - and perhaps debunks - the myth that any time in the past was better.

The Menu (Review)

Well, now we come to what I consider the big star of this film, its story, I think it is a social criticism of how much life has been trivialized lately, some, like the elderly couple, only consume gourmet food for the prestige that this means, not because they really appreciate the food, they do not taste it for real hunger, but for vanity, the food critic is driven by ego and is not interested in the lives and dreams that destroys after her bad reviews to restaurants, Tyler for his part is obsessed with social media, he is always photographing the food, he is not interested in living the experience but in documenting it to brag about how “much” he supposedly knows, all this is very disappointing to the chef who discovers that the only ones who can access his art are people with money and influence who do not truly appreciate good cooking and the work behind each dish, and that unfortunately his restaurant was perpetuating that behavior.

Fallout (Season 1): "War never changes"

The production is great, the details in each scenography is perfect, from the beginning of this story in the vault, until the moment when one of its protagonists ascends to the surface giving introduction to what is known as "The Wasteland", a desolate world, chaotic, lawless, without future; every moment in that place is perfect for this dystopian story, but what I enjoyed the most was the world before the bombs fall, the one that shows us cities, homes with a lot of influence of the 50's despite the current year is 2077; the costume design, locations and music of those scenes seemed perfect to me, it shows a certain elegance, but also becomes a symbol of a very old time with necessary changes or revolutions, something that is also important in this series.

Rock of Ages (film): This might be the most cringe film I have ever seen

That's really the only positive thing that I can say about this film. Everyone else's performance was absolutely dreadful. It was surprising to me that Russel Brand was as bad as he was in this movie although the script can mostly be blamed for that. I say that I am surprised about him because out of everyone in the cast he is probably the only one that is actually a pretty great singer in real life.

[ESP-ENG] Film Review: Side Effects (2013) - Un thriller psicológico intrigante que desafía la realidad.

There is a whirlwind of unexpected scenes that make the film full of suspense and drama, in my opinion the acting of Rooney Mara and Jude Law were impeccable, all those moments they spent together where you could feel the tension and the pressure of the journalists on Dr. Banks for being Emily's doctor and for not having prevented that she was going to end up killing someone is very interesting and leaves you reflecting on how a person can tell lies that seem so real that can make people believe you including your doctor, I did not expect those last minutes of the movie that were certainly the best of it.

The 3 Body Problem | Review

Another topic that is very complex and has been dealt with for years is the issue of aliens and it is something that humanity would not be prepared for something like that, how to react and especially how to defend themselves, since no one knows how they are, so a series that to know that it has an answer from beyond is shocking. Undoubtedly it remains to continue enjoying the great atmosphere that they managed to place in order to recreate every part of this series, full of lights and above all a wide variety of elements that are unique in science fiction films that we only find in this one.

"Hotel Del Luna" A Very Beautiful Korean Serie

The photography is incredible and has a wide color palette that works perfectly and some great special effects. It also shows very beautiful settings throughout the entire series, which I love for the most part, especially the hotel, which I think is precious. The story is also quite interesting and emotional that mixes romance, fantasy and horror perfectly, because although throughout the series somewhat terrifying ghosts make appearances, the series is not scary at all and I love the way in which the series transports us to the past to learn what Man-wol's life was like when she was alive, her memories and what led her to do what made her stay attached to the hotel until she can leave her grudges behind and finally go to the beyond and for this, we see how he faces his ghosts from the past in the present by meeting the people who marked his life 1300 years ago but who have been reincarnated.

Exhuma [Korean Horror Review]

I would rate this an 8/10. They really did well with the storyline, makeup and roles. The actors, as usual, played their part. I have a bias when it comes to female actors [sue me!] and the whole time, I was centered on Go-eun [that’s right. Sue me!]. The main reason I wanted to watch this movie so bad was Kim Go-eun. I saw glimpses of her performing rituals on Tiktok and well… I just needed to see that! I always thought it was a series. Imagine my surprise when I was hunting for a movie to watch on the Latest releases section and Exhuma ranked number 1.

(ENG/ESP) Puss in Boots: The Last Request An Adventure of Love, Gratitude and Reflection

I want to talk about the two most interesting characters in the movie, who show the two sides of the coin. On one hand, there's Perrito, grateful despite a tragic and hard life. On the other hand, Jack Horner, a villain with a beautiful past. Perrito lived a hard and tragic life where he was verbally and physically mistreated, called piggy, rat face, butt face, and many other nicknames until he was even tricked in a game by his closest friends, they wrapped him in a cloth, tied him with a stone inside, and threw him into the river and still Perrito was grateful and saw the positive side to all those things they did to him, because all those tragic events led him to meet his friends cat and kitty. I recently read that every tragedy that happens to you is because something bigger and more beautiful is going to come to you, so don't let yourself be carried away by the bad day or problem you have today, see the positive side and give time to time that you will see that the sunlight will come into your life with something beautiful. Jack Horner, a very interesting villain. Jack wanted to be the villain like that. Because I have seen on many occasions that the villains had a tragic, painful, traumatic past as you want to call it, as a result of those traumas they become villains to kill, to avenge, etc. But Jack didn't have a very nice life, loving parents gave him everything he wanted a beautiful house, a very famous company and in fact inherited that company, he lacked nothing, but he wanted something else, he wanted all the magic in the world and to dominate the world and that no one had anything. The movie shows us how gratitude and humility are important.

The Secret Life Of Pets (2016)

My favorite character in this film is Bunny. From its voice, I could tell the person behind and it's no other but the humourous Kevin Hart. I laughed in every scene the Bunny appeared because despite being so ferocious, he possessed humor that made me unable to hate him despite his somewhat ill treatment of Max and Duke.
