What can be seen this weekend, plus Trump's tariffs for films

Donald Trump's tariffs have reached Hollywood when the president announced that there would be 100% tariff for all films that will be produced at the beginning of this week.

It is the latest obstacle with which the industry has exposed itself in the past half decades with a pandemic shutdown and an extensive strike in the rear view mirror.

The studios have laid their productions at locations outside the country such as Great Britain, Canada and Australia, where they offer generous tax credits and lower labor costs. Christopher Nolan's next epic is being shot throughout Europe. The latest Marvel projects are mainly shot in London, and “The Last Us”, with the second season in Seattle, opted for Canada instead.

The consequences of this decision are far -reaching. The intention is on the surface Increase the US manufacturers and protect jobs within the industry. But the movement is integrated into the fibers of the process worldwide. With important feature films, hundreds of people are required for their crews, the largest required thousands. These crew members are stretched worldwide, contributing seamlessly into an end product: a film.

And what are the consequences of placing tariffs for a company -based company? The export of the United States is massive. What happens if the countries check with service -based retaliation measures? A decline in jobs due to increasing costs and an increase in the disorders of the work processes could mean a disaster for an industry that is already exposed to some of its most severe suffering in history.

In the theaters: 'friendship'

Speaking of comedies, because we need easy entertainment, the next big “studio” comedy is here. It was long discussed and documented how the studio comedy fell by the wayside in the current Moviemaking culture. Regardless of whether they were replaced by superhero films or want to invest the theater in tentpole franchise companies and “event types”, or people will find their comedy in other places (streaming, social media, etc.), the theater comedy was in a RUT.

“Friendship” wants to change that. People and critics have described it as one of the funniest films in the past 10 years, whereby the theaters have “wall-to-wall” laughing through every screening. “Friendship” is what the title brings with it, a film about a rising friendship between two men, the full of fraternal love, disturbed humor and exchange and many, many crowning comedies.

It is a big swing for Tim Robinson (“I think you should go”), but for those who love his comedy style, the fans will see this as a turning point in his career. With the leading role Paul Rudd you can see one of the most spoken comedies in some time because the limited publication of Seattle includes.

On Netflix: 'The Eternaut' '

To be honest, he sneaked on me. It was not on my radar, but “the Eternaut” became a feeling overnight that achieved Number 1 in Netflix's global top 10 for non -English television, while achieving a score of 94% for rotten tomatoes. The foreign language series with six episodes from Argentina is the latest post-apocalyptic travel audience where the audience can use (a subgenre that has grown exponentially according to the Kovid-19).

It is a science fiction story based on a Graphic novel, in which a group of survivors fights an alien threat that is controlled by an invisible force after the world and most of its residents were wiped out by a fatal snowstorm.

The graphic novel was initially produced in installments between 1957 and 1959, but its author. Héctor G. Oesterheld was kidnapped decades later during the Argentine military dictatorship 1977. He was suspected as dead and his graphic novel became a symbol of resistance. His history and author vibrate sharply in Argentine culture, so Netflix's adaptation had to fill big shoes to adapt. Check the series yourself to see if the streaming giant was ready for the challenge.

On Netflix: 'Nonnas''

Those who are looking for a lighter watch can turn to “Nonnas”, which corresponds to comfort food for a film. And it is Comfort Food because the film stuffs it with visual Italian cuisine and firm.

Actor Vince Vaughn, Susan Sarandon, Talia Shire and Lorraine Bracco, the Netflix vehicle, is based on a real story about a New Yorker who tries to honor his mother by opening a restaurant in Italian with Italian grandmothers as chefs. It does not reinvent modern stories or delivers surprised turns, but certain scenes that are driven by the charm of its actors can offer the comfort and cosiness of a warm fire that balls.
