In 2015 Star Wars The Force Awakens, say goodbye to one of the most famous characters of the saga, Han Solo. Most of us thought will be the last time we see this character on the big screen.

Two years later Walt Disney announced the production of the Han Solo origins spin-off and with that everyone was wondering where this movie will take place and how it will be?

Now the film Solo is released after a very troubled production where the film was done by two young directors, who were fired after almost finishing the film by Lucasfilm president.

Then Ron Howard was hired to shoot the film again and finished what Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and get it ready for the original release.

Solo tells the story of Han (Aldem Ehrenreich) and orphan made to steal in order to survive, he lives in Corellia with his lover Qi'ra (Emilia Clarke). Together they make a plan scape and find their way to another planet, but the plan failed when Qi'ra is capture before the scape and Han promise to come back to rescue her, so he joined the Empire as a flight cadet.

3 years have passed and he is already expelled from the Flight Academy and Han is an infantryman during a battle on the planet Mimban, here when he meets Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson and Val Beckett (Thandie Newton) both pirates who are stealing weapons and materials from the Empire Infantry.

This is the pivotal moment in the story when we see Han Solo will be a space pirate getting involved with the worst of the worst and also he will start acquiring debt across the galaxy.

The film continues exploring the story of how Han met Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian.

Ron Howard does a good job making this film entertaining and fun, Lawrence Kasdan and son Jonathan create an interesting idea of how Han Solo life developed to the point of seeing him in Star Wars: A New Hope.
The film does not explore social issues like Rogue One did, which to me is a more solid Star Wars movie, presenting a group of strong characters fighting for a cause and using the film as a metaphor of the problems we are living this day and age. Solo only explore visual nuances like the war in Mimban, which visually looks like World War I. The images seem to be lifted from Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory. The representation of Tobias and Val Beckett connects the dots to those people who came back to England after WW1 and later became gang members and criminals in order to have a meaning in their life.

Donald Glover does a great job as Lando Calrissian as well L3-37 droid (voice by Phoebe Waller-Bridge) which is the only character who talks about social justice in this story, sadly it felt flat. John Powell score is an excellent tribute to the Star Wars saga, with constant reminders of famous tunes of the previous films.
Overall Solo is an entertaining action-packed film, but at the end doesn't give you a solid message, Paul Bettany is a forgettable character and a weak villain.

Usually, a subject of pregnancy in films is mostly taken as a funny experience for the filmmakers who are looking to entertain the audience and deliver a weak message about paternity. Films like, Look Who's Talking, What to Expect When You're Expecting, Baby Mama, Knocked Up is among those movies.

Jason Reitman director of Juno and Up in the Air, have a different approach to make a movie about having a baby. To be quite honest, this films hit me in a very unexpected way, why? Now as a parent I lived the experience and ordeal of sleepless nights, uncountable diapers, the crying, and the reality check of one of the biggest decision of your life.

Marlo (Charlize Theron) mother of two kids and pregnant with the third deals with a developmental disorder of her son Jonah which makes him a difficult character in school. Marlo is married to Drew (Ron Livingston) they are an average family living paycheck to paycheck, but on the other side, Marlo's brother Craig (Mark Duplass) is a wealthy guy married and with kids. As a baby shower gift, he offers them a night nanny ( a person who takes care of your baby while you sleep and only wakes you when you need it)
Finally, Marlo gives birth to a baby girl name Mia, becoming overwhelmed and exhausted of dealing with her two kids and the baby. Jonah reaches a tipping point at school, Marlo meets with the principal which recommends to send him to another school. Marlo has a crisis making the decision to bring the night nanny to help her.

Tully (Mackenzie Davis) started to work for Marlo, originally it starts as an awkward situation, but later becomes a strong friendship where they share a lot of each other.

Jason Reitman tells an honest story very raw, is kind of like a slap in the face of parenthood. Charlize Theron is perfect for the role, blending from drama to comedy in a perfect way.

Rossy De Palma is one of Pedro Almodovar's muse, she had appeared in at least 7 of his films. Her personality and look becomes her signature, which gives a sophisticated humor to which project she appears.

In the film Madame, she is one of the main roles opposite Tony Collette and Harvey Keitel. The film tells the story of an American couple Anne (Collette) and Bob (Keitel) who are hosting a dinner party with twelve friends. Bob's son arrived unexpectedly and Anne needs to make arrangements for another guest since she is very superstitious. Maria (De Palma) is Anne and Bob maid, is asked to be the guest number 14, she needs to pretend to be a rich Spanish woman. During dinner, Mari meet David and British aristocrat and a relationship is developed really quickly.

For Anne and Bob is a complicated issue. Maria, it's been with the family for a long time and is need it. But on the other hand, they need to keep David which is an economic interest for the family.

Amanda Sthers directs a light comedy that becomes forgettable, with a weak script a powerful group of actors cannot save this movie. The film is fun to watch but end up boring with no happy ending.

The challenges of exploring the limits of horror and terror in movies are becoming more and more complicated. Those days when Alfred Hitchcock, George Romero, John Carpenter seems to be fading away because the audiences are looking for fresh stories with meaning. The film "Get Out" changed that when introduced racism as a metaphor.

in the film "A Quiet Place" we have a new dilemma, a family who is been haunted by monsters, but they can't make a sound, because that's what the monsters use to catch their victims. The story is presented as a futuristic tale where the big message is family union. But SPOILER ALERT, the death of one of the kids is the engine of the most important elements to the story, a pregnancy. From the very beginning, we have been introduced to a protective father, a caring mother and 3 children who know that the only way to survive is to stay together, follow rules, but be quiet.

Director and Actor John Krasinski brings this story with a moral compass. Every time we see a horror film, people who you care as a character will die. But in this movie, your level of stress will run wild just when you think one of the family members are in danger. The sound is powerful and necessary because it becomes another character of the film.

John Krasinski follow the footsteps of Hitchcock, Carpenter and even Ridley Scott in Alien, making this film believable and allows you to connect and make every character important.

Emily Blunt did an amazing job, as well as Millicent Simmonds Noah Jupe who play her kids in the movie.
