Light year
Just as the story of Woody was told, the cowboy whose name Andy put his name on the sole of his boot in the saga of toy story, now it’s up to Buzz Lightyear, the space command. Let’s clarify: it’s not that the toy has the film of him, but that Lightyear is the “real” character of the film that Andy was a fan of … 27 years ago.
Buzz Lightyear, the “original” character, not the toy, is the protagonist. 1,319,680 spectators have already seen it.
And Lightyear, the stellar command, the “ranger”, was wrong. You are piloting a spaceship and make a forced landing. He has damaged the ship and, what is worse, it has no propulsion. Buzz will repeatedly attempt a series of test flights to see if he can reach hyper speed, but those 4-minute journeys are equivalent to four years on the planet’s surface. He will team up with some unorthodox characters, who will become his friends and his gang to get, well, at the end of the film.

Thor: Love and thunder
Thor: Love and thunder reminds us that a Marvel has to be fun. Directed by Taiki Waititi (the former God of Thunder, Thor: Ragnarokand Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay for Jojo Rabbit), it was clear that if he himself was also in charge of co-writing the libretto for love and thunder I was going to combine comedy with action and adventure.
Natalie Portman, who has returned to the saga, and Chris Hemsworth. It has already sold 1,041,154 tickets in Argentina.
Add the presence of a to the cocktail Chris Hemsworth who feels so comfortable and looks so relaxed playing one of Marvel’s superheroes like no other, and that Jane Foster returns (Natalie Portman), the love of life of the blonde with long hair and blue eyes, and well, everything is ready.
Thor kicks off the film along with the Guardians of the Galaxy. But later, when Gorr or the Butcher of the Gods (Christian Bale) begin to eliminate the gods to avenge the death of his little daughter, and take the necrosword, then Thor will have to deal with him, aided by the Mighty Thor (Portman) . The funniest of Marvel.

Minion: A villain was born
Seven years after the prequel premiere (Minion2015) and five of the last of the saga: the weak Despicable Me 3-, if we have learned anything, it is that Minions can exist without Gru, but the villain who wants to conquer the world (or at least initially, steal the moon) needs them.
He needs that army of small, obedient and obedient characters, including Kevin, Stuart and Bob, who look like earplugs.
Minion: A villain was born It has so many silly, simple and mostly visual gags, which make it suitable not only for family viewing, but also for recovering the sense of fun and play. Because the Minions help Gru achieve his goal in the best possible way (he wants to join the Vicious Six gang of supervillains).

Jurassic world domination
Dominion should be the closing of the trilogy -don’t wait for a post-credits scene, because there isn’t one-, here they are all: the protagonists Jurassic worldreported all three Jurassic Park -in which the mathematician Ian Malcolm had already appeared the fallen kingdom, but Ellie and Grant come back in this. And there’s Blue, Owen’s favorite raptor. And the T-Rex. Y …
Maybe it repeats too much of the patterns from previous films, but has some scenes where the action is amazing.

The Turuleca hen
The Turuleca hen, the character of the song of Gaby, Fofó and Miliki that we have been singing and singing for generations, is embodied in this animated film, a co-production with Spain, which opens for the local winter holidays, with the voices of Guillermo Francella, Flavia Palmiero and Sofi Morandi.
Turuleca is not a laying hen here as it was in the lyrics of the song. Well, when the movie “Turu” starts, she can’t lay eggs and is sold by an unscrupulous person to Isabel, a retired former music teacher who has a farm.
Before anyone says Dumbo – Turuleca was bullied in the wagon before they sold it, and as the Disney elephant becomes the main act of a circus – more songs will be added, some of the famous Spanish clowns, such as Hola don Pepito, Hola don José, an updated version of Macarena and more.

Top Gun Maverick
Tom Cruise flies much higher than the original Top Gun, the one from 1986. And if so, it’s because this time there is a plot and not just spectacular visuals and musical hits. And Cruise matured along with his character. Maverick was a fighter pilot, he attended the academy that gave the film its title. We’ve already seen him somewhat traumatized by the death of Goose (Anthony Edwards), who was traveling with him in an F-14 when they had to eject him.
Well, now, as he is about to be fired, he has to train young pilots for a near-suicide mission. The enemy – again, as in the first, his nationality is not mentioned – has an illegal uranium site (!) Which will go live in three weeks and must be destroyed. The place is hard to reach, almost, but almost like reaching the Death Star that Luke Skywalker was supposed to bomb in the first Star Wars and just shoot and escape.
Pure adrenaline is Tom Cruise’s highest grossing film of his entire career.

Elvis
Bright, ostentatious and fun. This is the film of Baz Luhrmann, the director of Moulin Rouge !, With Elvis, the film and the character, Luhrmann meditates on the music, the legend and the commercial business behind an idol, a man who would revolutionize music, not only in the United States.
But Elvis does not start with Elvis, but with Colonel Parker, a Tom Hanks – always a buyer, even if he plays an unscrupulous character – with a rubber nose and prosthetic cheeks, who after a heart attack will tell us the story of the boy he transformed into star “Without me there would be no Elvis Presley,” he boasts.
The colonel was the king’s manager, the one who kept 50% of his earnings. The film chronicles that relationship and the beginnings of Elvis.
