“Bridget Jones: I’m angry about boys”
Charmingly distorted heroine Bridget Jones (Rene Zelweger) is back in this sequel directed by Michael Morris.
From our review:
Bridget Jones fans are used to developing the plot, but few people have anticipated a twist on her new article in the film series. That’s what makes the film so I started all of Bridget Jones’ Diary in 2001.

Just pad it together.
“Paddington in Peru”
This sequel, directed by Dougal Wilson, watches gentleman Bear Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw) to find his aunt on a trip to Peru. Along the way, he meets the local river guide, the pastor’s mother (Olivia Colman) and Hunter Cabot (Antonio Banderas).
From our review:
Watching the Hunter scheme unfold, viewers can appreciate the central challenge facing “Paddington of Peru.” When much of that magic comes from Hugh Grant, how do you measure it to “Paddington 2”? Instead, the filmmakers call on Colman and Banderas to fill in the blank, and the actors commit with maniac enthusiasm, but their stupidity cannot remind them of what has come before.

Keep your expectations down.
“Captain America: A Brave New World”
Anthony Mackey stars as Captain America in this sequel about dangerous substances and the attempted assassination of the President (Harrison Ford).
From our review:
Directed by Julius Onah, the film features a frayed tailoring of a film marked with re-shooting and changes. The writing is stiff and the ensemble is almost appealing, but the visuals are slap dashes. As the new Captain America, Mackie was probably destined from the start. Still, he lacks megawatts of magnetism, enhancing or obscuring the poor construction of the tent pole franchise himself.

The lost gems excavated shine beautifully.
“The disappearance of fish”
This romance by director Charles Barnett, who receives his first theatrical release 26 years after his festival debut, is a man whom he believes is owned by the demon when he falls in love with Poinsettia (Linred Grave). (R Jones) will follow. , imagine the dead composer being her lover.
From our review:
The modest film kept quiet about “The Fish Disappearance” sneaking up on you. It’s as stealth as the fish demon and can pack a powerful wallop. It’s a story between two people who find each other, and while the love stories are often fascinating, what sets this apart is the kindness of Barnett’s touch and the generosity of his worldview.

Lighter than angel hair pasta.
“La Dolce Villa”
When his daughter wants to buy an Italian villa in fixer upper for one Euro, Eric (Scott Foley) travels to a small village to try to stop her. Instead, he is fascinated by the location and the airy people of this rom-com, directed by Mark Waters.
From our review:
The appeal of this kind of film is clear. It is totally predictable, lighter than air, sweeter than Struxia Terra Gelato, and a gentle, well-meaning feat if you’re in the right mood. It’s not a comedy in the sense of being kidding, but in the sense that it’s not of any other kind. And they all lived happily ever after.

Niche humor, universal charm.
“Universal Language”
This surrealistic comedy directed by Matthew Rankin applies the features of Iranian new wave films to the Canadian setting of Winnipeg.
From our review:
Director Matthew Rankin’s “Universal Language” is a small, gentle, gentle, moving, slightly surrealistic comedy, aimed at two groups of people. Specifically, it’s not just Winnipeg and Iranian film enthusiasts. Certainly, there is a overlap between the two circles in that Venn diagram, but I can’t imagine it being so important. But combining the two cultural idiosyncrasies makes it fresh, strange and enjoyable. Even if you’re not an expert like me.

The lead travels distance (crossing the valley).
“Great”
Miles Terror and Anya Taylor Joy Starr are two special agents stationed on either side of the dangerous canyon that has begun to fill this gap in action romance by director Scott Derrickson.
From our review:
For all the elaborate weapons, production design, and (ultimately) the desperate action offered here, the film is most cracked as an active pass dew between Taylor Joy and Terror.
