Supergirl (2026): review, cast and the link to Superman

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 05:30:00 -0300

Forty-two years ago, Warner put Helen Slater in a blue and red leotard, spent US$35 million and watched the film stall at 19% on Rotten Tomatoes — a failure ugly enough to help push the Salkind brothers into selling the Superman rights to Cannon Group in 1986. This week, Supergirl tried again. Milly Alcock's version opened in Brazilian cinemas on Thursday the 25th, a day ahead of the US release, and the critics have already made up their minds: it isn't the 1984 disaster, but it isn't the unanimous win James Gunn needed for the second feature of the new DC universe either.

Disclosure Day: Spielberg returns to science fiction in 2026

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 10:00:00 -0300

Forty-four years after E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Steven Spielberg has returned to the territory that made him a legend: first contact between humanity and something that shouldn't exist. Disclosure Day opens tomorrow, 12 June, and the first reactions out of the United Kingdom — where the film opened yesterday — point to something rare: the best Spielberg in two decades.

Spielberg and aliens — fifty years of obsession

Spielberg's relationship with the subject predates Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). He grew up on 1950s science fiction and always saw the alien not as a threat but as a mirror — something that reveals more about us than about them. E.T. (1982) was the fullest expression of that view: the vulnerable alien, the boy who protects him, the state that hunts them both.

The Mandalorian and Grogu: Star Wars returns to cinemas in May

Thu, 14 May 2026 10:00:00 -0300

The last time I went to the cinema specifically for a Star Wars film, I came out with that feeling of not quite knowing what had just happened. It was Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker — and nobody in the room seemed sure what they had seen. Since then, Star Wars has migrated almost entirely to streaming, with The Mandalorian as the high point of that whole phase. Now, on 22 May, Din Djarin and Grogu arrive on the big screen. And I can say quite calmly that it's the first time in many years I've been genuinely excited about what's coming.
