When you finally sit down to watch Steven Spielberg's long-awaited, acclaimed new adaptation of West Side Story, you may notice something unusual: the Spanish portions of the script are not subtitled. The legendary director made this choice for a ver

West Side Story was never meant to represent Puerto Rican communities. Its original creators Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, and Arthur Laurents admitted they set out to tell a Romeo and Juliet story based in New York City. It was only too convenient that “the Puerto Rican thing,” as Bernstein put it, “had just begun to explode,” and thus provided a community on which the creators could prop their 1957 Broadway musical. White actors were cast in two of the main Puerto Rican roles: George Chakiris as Bernardo and Natalie Wood as Maria.

Jamie Lee Curtis, daughter of Hollywood legends Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, returns as the star of Halloween Kills, which picks up right where Halloween 2018 ended. Curtis is the queen of a genre that revitalizes an industry in the bones. Owner of o

Curtis is Laurie Strode or Laurie Strode is Jamie Lee, after 40 years playing the same role on Halloween night facing the brutal murderer, Michael Myers. If in 1978 Halloween became a classic, in 2021 we continue to consume that fantasy with current technology. This new chapter in the saga shows Strode facing his demons with his daughter and granddaughter in a generational handover that invites more chapters of the franchise.

Kenneth Branagh directs Belfast, his most personal project to date. Branagh is a brave and daring artist able to adapt with the same attitude a play from Shakespeare, or a novella from Agatha Christie or a blockbuster like Thor.

With his latest film, Belfast, he shows himself consumed by existentialism, a product of the claustrophobic confinement during the months of the pandemic. Branagh embraces his childhood and clings to it like a handle to hold himself upright in times of uncertainty. His formidable cinematographic exercise reminds us that not only do we need each other, but how important it is to unleash emotions in a movie theater.

Ryan Reynolds, 44, is the new star of Hollywood. His talent to combine action, horror and independent dramas has gotten him to the highest ranking of the industry.

Ryan Reynolds is one of the most popular Canadian-American actors and producers.

Alden Ehrenreich is one of the new talented actors pushing through Hollywood especially when it comes to taking on iconic characters. Now, he’s taking on one of the lead roles in a TV adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s groundbreaking 1932 novel, Brave New

Alden portrays John the Savage, an outsider from the gritty Savage Land who’s not buying what the polished exterior of New London is selling. Brave New World tackles many still-relevant social themes while also not taking itself seriously. Fascinated with the Spanish culture, Alden confesses his passion for Spain, his favorite country in the world, where he goes every time he can get in a plane and escape from his reality.

Lisey's story is an eight-episode limited series written entirely by master storyteller Stephen King, a decidedly personal tale from the king of horror. Based on his novel of the same name, the disturbing, intimate story was inspired by King’s near-d

Produced by Bad Robot, this what-if narrative is explored through the life of Lisey Landon, played by Julianne Moore who, after losing her acclaimed-novelist husband Scott, begins to face certain realities about their marriage that she had repressed and forgotten.

The Mosquito Coast, adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name, is a gripping adventure and layered character drama series following the dangerous journey of a radical idealist and brilliant inventor Fox, played by Justin Theroux.

The 1986 film told the story of a frustrated inventor nauseated by American life who heedlessly uproots his family to start their own new society in the jungles of Central America. The movie was a relatively faithful adaptation of the bestselling book by Paul Theroux, that now inspired a new Apple TV+ series starring Justin Theroux, who is incidentally the author’s nephew.

Jordan aka John Kelly take in a lot of action as he seeks justice for the murder of his pregnant wife by Russian soldiers. With impressive muscle and his voice raspy, the actor debuted with his production company in partnership with Amazon. It wasn’t that long ago when Jordan, a young kid from Newark, N.J., was playing Wallace as part of the ensemble cast of teens on David Simon’s prolific series The Wire.

Anthony Hopkins is once again iconic on the film The Father, for which he is again nominated for an Oscar. The plot places the audience in the position of understanding the story from the confusion of memory; where logic fails, time bends and the eye

In a succession of discontinuous scenes, family members merge and diverge amid the collapse of reality, leaving not only a grieving main character, but viewers in awe. The suspense, before this unreliable narrator, comes from the hand of Sir Anthony Hopkins, an actor who moves through the quicksand of someone who loses his head while giving us one of the best performances of his career.

The Actress Regina King debuted at the Toronto Film Festival as director with her movie One Night in Miami, a title surrounded by an anticipated Oscar clamor.
