‘From’
Clint Eastwood may have left an unforgettable legacy as an actor; however, it has been his career as a director that has led him to the highest glory of the seventh art.

Noomi Rapace and Orlando Bloom star in this action film that, after being beaten by expert opinion, becomes highly relevant in streaming with HBO Spain.

Without a doubt, a perfect film for not thinking and not questioning its quality.

‘Contagion’
Once the health pandemic swept the world, Steven Soderbergh’s film became a trend on all platforms.

‘Focus’
Bringing together two such admired Hollywood stars as Will Smith and Margot Robbie in the same film could only promise sheer unbridled entertainment. ‘Focus’ was exactly what was expected of a film of these characteristics -unlike ‘Suicide Squad’- and, despite not being the best film of the genre, it will undoubtedly mean a funniest Saturday afternoon.
