‘Homo Argentum’ (2025)

‘Homo Argentum’ (also known internationally as ‘Homo Sapiens?’) is an Argentine film featuring sixteen short, satirical stories about life today. Directed by Gastón Duprat and Mariano Cohn, the film stars Guillermo Francella and explores the challenges and contradictions of modern Argentine society. It offers a witty look at human behavior with a strong cast including Eva De Dominici and Clara Kovacic.

‘TRON: Ares’ (2025)

As a huge fan of the TRON universe, I was completely captivated by the latest installment. It introduces Ares, an incredibly advanced AI program who steps out of the digital world and into ours – it’s the first time humanity’s ever encountered an AI like this outside of the Grid! The story really dives into what happens when technology and biology collide, all set in this stunning, futuristic world. And of course, it delivers on everything you’d expect from a TRON film: that iconic neon look and a killer synth soundtrack that just gets your heart racing.

‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ (2022)

More than ten years after the first movie, Jake Sully and Neytiri have a family and are forced to leave their home. They seek shelter with the Metkayina, a clan who live in the ocean, and must learn to live like them – understanding the ways of the water and connecting with the sea creatures. This is necessary because humans have returned and pose a new danger. The film was made using groundbreaking underwater filming techniques and advanced technology, resulting in a visually impressive world. It’s a stunning movie that highlights the importance of protecting the environment and the power of family.

‘Inside Out 2’ (2024)

The new movie follows Riley as she becomes a teenager and deals with more complicated feelings. Her core emotions – Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust – now have to adjust to the arrival of new emotions like Anxiety, Envy, and Embarrassment, all while Riley navigates the ups and downs of high school and friendships. ‘Inside Out 2’ shows how personalities change as we grow up and highlights the importance of accepting all of our feelings.

‘Tangled’ (2010)

Rapunzel is a princess with incredibly long, magical hair who has been trapped in a tower her whole life by a woman named Mother Gothel. Everything changes when a handsome thief, Flynn Rider, accidentally finds her tower. They make a deal, and together they embark on an adventure to witness the beautiful floating lanterns. Along the way, they face challenges, and Rapunzel learns the truth about her history and the world beyond her prison. This version of the classic Rapunzel story is known for being funny and visually stunning.

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ (2012)

Wreck-It Ralph tells the story of a video game bad guy who longs to be a hero. He travels through various game worlds hoping to win a medal and prove himself. Along the way, he meets Vanellope, a quirky character in a racing game, and helps her chase her own dreams. The movie is a fun, nostalgic trip for gamers of all ages, filled with appearances from classic video games, and it delivers a touching message about embracing who you are.

‘Avatar’ (2009)

Set on the vibrant alien world of Pandora, the movie ‘Avatar’ follows Jake Sully, a former Marine who is paralyzed. He participates in a program designed to connect with the Na’vi, the native people of Pandora. As Jake learns about their culture and falls in love with a Na’vi woman named Neitiri, he’s caught between his original military orders – which involve a corporate mining operation – and his growing connection to the Na’vi way of life. The film was revolutionary for its use of motion-capture technology, creating incredibly realistic and beautiful environments, and it became a huge worldwide success, changing how movies looked.

‘Zootopia’ (2016)

I was completely captivated by ‘Zootopia’! It’s set in this amazing city full of animals who walk and talk like people, and it follows Officer Judy Hopps, a really driven rabbit cop. She’s forced to team up with Nick Wilde, a sly fox who’s a bit of a trickster, and together they stumble onto something huge – a mystery surrounding why so many predators are going missing. What I really loved is how the movie explores important issues in a really clever and funny way, all while building this incredibly detailed and vibrant world. It totally deserved the Oscar it won for Best Animated Feature – the story is just brilliant!

‘Up’ (2009)

In the heartwarming film ‘Up,’ elderly widower Carl Fredricksen finally realizes his dream of traveling to South America by attaching countless balloons to his home. He gets a surprising companion in Russell, a young Wilderness Explorer, and together they embark on a thrilling adventure. Their journey introduces them to Dug, a talking dog, and Kevin, a rare bird, all while being chased by a bitter, former explorer. The film beautifully portrays themes of loss, the power of friendship, and the belief that it’s never too late for adventure.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ (2019)

After the heartbreaking events of ‘Infinity War’, the surviving Avengers unite for a last-ditch effort to defeat Thanos and undo the damage he’s caused. They embark on a dangerous journey through time to collect the Infinity Stones, hoping to restore balance to the universe and bring back those they’ve lost. ‘Avengers: Endgame’ is a monumental finale to the original Marvel Cinematic Universe saga, marking the end of an era for beloved characters, and remains one of the most successful films ever made because of its powerful story and massive scope.
