In such times when life seems to be volatile and unpredictable, many people long to immerse themselves in other worlds and dream of a better life for a while. In this article, we present you with what to expect this year and which films are an absolute must-see, both for romance and comedy fans and for those who like to witness fictional crimes.
Dramatic stuff: crime and murder
One film that everyone is already talking about is The Batman. The movie can be viewed in the cinema since the third of March. The film marks the start of a new Batman series. After The Dark Knight Rises, Christian Bale said goodbye and passes the scepter to Robert Pattinson. In his new role, the latter proves that a man as versatile as him is indeed capable of playing a vampire, a wizard and Batman convincingly during his career. The story is a bit complicated for non-DC comic readers, but you still find your way into it after some time. The exciting story, the well-done soundtrack and the actors’ performances definitely make the film worth watching. Another great movie to see is The Card Counter. To be honest, it was already released last year – the DVD is already available since December 2021. The movie deals with a former soldier who is released from prison after ten years and moves from casino to casino and earns quite well at the poker tables, trying to win at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. The film is definitely worth seeing. Martin Scorsese, known for films like Goodfellas and The Wolf of Wall Street, has once again brought together big-name actors and an exciting storyline. If you are eager to feel the casino atmosphere yourself after watching the movie, you can try out various online casinos and play from your cozy couch. Various comparison portals make it possible to identify the best online gaming sites such as asiabet.org and show which providers have the best bonuses and the most successful game selection, so that the customer gets the optimal gaming experience.
Romantic and funny movies
A little laugh never killed nobody. In fact, a funny movie almost always manages to save a day. A comedy which many fans are eagerly awaiting is the sequel to Downton Abbey. In Downton Abbey: A New Era, the British aristocratic Crawley family is headed overseas. But it’s not just the upcoming trip that keeps Robert Crawley’s family and the Downton Abbey servants on tenterhooks – there is also a glamorous wedding coming up. The movie is due in the cinemas on May 20. Another funny movies is Marry Me. The stars Owen Wilson and Jennifer Lopez alone are a guarantee for a good film. But the storyline should not be underestimated either: pop star Kat Valdez is about to marry her fiancé live on TV when she learns of his infidelity. As a result, she marries family man Charlie Gilbert who is sitting in the audience of the show and immediately seems sympathetic to her. A turbulent love story begins which is not only a feast for the press. The film deals with the question whether two complete strangers with such different lifestyles can find their way to each other. Although some people have argued that romance is dead, this movie proves the opposite. Another movie which was already released in December 2021 and is about to be launched on DVD is Licorice Pizza. The coming-of-age movie deals with an extraordinary romance and the theme of growing up in the seventies. The film is nominated for several Oscars: in the categories of Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. It tells the interesting story of a child actor and budding entrepreneur Gary Valentine – fifteen years old – who falls in love with a photographer ten years older than him. The story is both hilarious and deeply sincere, so fans of different genres should be thrilled.
