gray man
Brothers Anthony and Joseph Russo make a movie here that lives up to the expectations they set. The movie is a couple of hours long, but there are enough explosions, chases, shooting, suspense and humor to keep us interested until the end.

The trend isn’t always happy (the country music loop is unnecessarily unnecessarily), but the look is always smart.

Wentworth
Why do we pay tribute to such a violent and cruel TV series? Because it performs its entertainment mission. Because the actresses out there are overwhelming. Because a federal prison like the one shown in Wentworth is not Club Med where you braid your hair between two Macarena choreographies.
