We already told you when we left you the trailer for the film, Andrew Dominik has directed one of the best films we have seen in recent weeks. After 'The murder of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford', the director now brings us a proposal that rides between humor and film noir. In addition to the excellence of the script, which Dominik himself has written from the novel by George V. Higgins, the director has managed to surround himself with an exceptional interpretive cast, including Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Scout McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn and Sam Shepard, among others.

In 'No Brakes', we immerse ourselves in the life of Wilee (Gordon-Levitt), who is a messenger from New York. Every day he must dodge speeding cars, crazed taxi drivers and eight million grumpy pedestrians, who are part of his everyday life, but he is the best of New York's agile and aggressive bike messengers. To be one you have to be of a special breed, with a mixture of equal parts skill and nutty, to ride a superlight bike, with no gears or brakes - risking becoming just another stain on the pavement every time you move between the road. city ​​traffic.

The idea of ​​'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' is based on a novel by Seth Grahame-Smith and addresses the double life of the president, who in addition to his position as head of the United States government, was also a vampire hunter, motivated by revenge, since his mother was killed by vampires. The approach is not bad, but when it is put into practice we find a film that abuses gore, slow motion and visual effects, to such an extent that sometimes it is burdensome and not at all credible, like the fight in the middle of a stampede of horses, to name a few.

Ridley Scott's latest film, Prometheus, released on August 3, seems to have not convinced the critics. Neither the fantastic cast that it has managed to gather, led by Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace and Guy Pearce, nor having the prestigious Damon Lindelof (Lost) among the scriptwriters has been enough for a critic that gives the film an approved scrap.

Seth MacFarlane has succeeded, without a doubt the hooligan comedy 'Ted' has become a worldwide success. Much of the fault lies with the actor Mark Wahlberg, but perhaps the most important part is taken by that rude little bear who is easy to get fond of.
