Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) 46% 4/5 EDIT “A proper horror movie; intense and full of undeniably disgusting moments. [Full Review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Apr 16, 2026 Full Review ChaO (2025) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Today, more than ever, when they want to shove generative AI down our throats, it's important to give these kinds of productions a chance, clearly designed and animated by humans, and with a lot of effort. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Apr 16, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 78% 4/5 EDIT “By addressing a sensitive and potentially controversial topic through a narrative full of unexpected twists, the film prompts viewers to have interesting post-screening conversations. [Full review in Spanish].” – Cinencuentro Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Thrash (2026) 43% 2.5/5 EDIT “Wirkola has better films, Dynevor has better performances, and Hounsou deserves a better filmography. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Apr 12, 2026 Full Review Outcome (2026) 28% 2.5/5 EDIT “A plodding and uneven dramedy that works best when it’s trying to be sincere rather than funny.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Apr 12, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Through a narrative full of twists and memorable characters, it warns us about the dangers of uncontrolled AI, as well as the addiction to social media that is already affecting our ability to concentrate. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 43% 3/5 EDIT “It feels more like a series of situations and gags than a cohesive story or one with interesting characters, superficial in its ambitions and rushed to include as much as possible into a single package. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Apr 4, 2026 Full Review Revelations of Divine Love (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “It's the exact opposite of what many contemporary productions aspire to be, which is why I’m sure some audiences won’t be able to even finish it. ” – Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's a bloodbath, and one that will leave you wanting a third instalment (which will surely come out in a few years). If Samara Weaving returns, I'll be back in the cinema. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “It works for both children and adults, and happily manages to be more than just "an animated version of 'Avatar' with animals instead of blue aliens." [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's violent, it's exciting, and it's tense enough, proving, once again, that Statham has found a niche he's comfortable in, and that it continues to pay dividends. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 4/5 EDIT “It's not a perfect adaptation of Weir's novel, but despite its flaws, I don't think many viewers (and fans of the book) will leave the cinema disappointed. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Whistle (2025) 64% 2.5/5 EDIT “Considering how much more could have been done with its basic idea, it's impossible not to feel a little disappointed. If they do make a sequel, I hope Hardy and his team learn from their mistakes. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Mar 7, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 58% 3.5/5 EDIT “Better a flawed but different and ambitious film than just another generic blockbuster. Not everyone will enjoy "The Bride!,", but I still hope the film will find an audience. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% 4.5/5 EDIT “It is a short, simple (but never simplistic) film that tells us a lot about the power of friendship but also about memories, and that should resonate with both children and adults, making the latter also shed a few tears. [Full Review in Spanish].” – Cinencuentro Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Arco (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “It's a pleasure to see a gentle, colourful, and expertly designed animated film (Arco's 2D animation is beautiful) by human beings, that, without being a masterpiece, ends up feeling like a refreshing experience. [Full review in Spanish].” – Cinencuentro Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Blades of the Guardians (2026) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “A fierce, violent and entertaining wuxia epic, full of impressive fight choreography, some solid character work and efficient drama.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Dead of Winter (2025) 76% 4/5 EDIT “It should leave the audience feeling excited, while also credibly developing its protagonist, giving her an emotional, bittersweet character arc. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Feb 26, 2026 Full Review Somersault (2004) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “An intimate portrait of a wounded teenager who runs away from home in search of identity and affection in rural Australia. [Full review in Spanish].” – Ventana Indiscreta Feb 24, 2026 Full Review Dreams (2025) 52% 3.5/5 EDIT “Much like the lives of immigrants in the States, Dreams is messy and imperfect and a little depressing, but definitely interesting.” – Loud and Clear Reviews Feb 23, 2026 Full Review The Scorpion King (2002) 40% 3.5/5 EDIT “A frankly ridiculous action movie, but one made with such sincerity and technical skill that it's practically impossible not to have a good time with it. It's not a good movie in the traditional sense of the phrase. [Full Review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Feb 21, 2026 Full Review The Descent (2005) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “An unbearably tense, constantly surprising and visually inventive experience, which concludes in a depressing but appropriate way (thankfully, here it's arriving with the original British ending). [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Feb 17, 2026 Full Review Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2006) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Now that I've seen this complete cut, I have to admit that watching both parts of "Kill Bill" (more or less) back-to-back makes perfect sense. If only they'd shown it all in one sitting instead of using an intermission! [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Feb 16, 2026 Full Review Last Ride (2026) 3/5 EDIT “Could "Last Ride" have been more original and less redundant, and of course, more satisfying, if it hadn't included the present-day scenes? Absolutely. But what Lee and company deliver is still not bad at all. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Feb 16, 2026 Full Review The Mummy Returns (2001) 46% 3.5/5 EDIT “Between the thrilling action scenes, excellent chemistry between the actors, memorable soundtrack, and moments that allow us to empathise with the antagonists (!), "The Mummy Returns" turns out to be a pleasant surprise. [Full review in Spanish].” – Me gusta el cine Feb 16, 2026 Full Review
