After a short break last week, we return to this section in which we review the most outstanding cinema that you can see this weekend. Today I bring you 11 must-see movies to see in theaters, which premiere in streaming, appear in physical format or are broadcast on a Spanish television channel with national reach.
Just in case none of the ones chosen today motivates you, I remind you that we also have a list of the best Netflix movies of 2022 so far, a selection of powerful streaming erotic movies, another of great movies that unfairly failed to recover in platforms or one of the great science fiction movies set in space. Without more to add, Let’s go with the essentials of this weekend:
In theaters
‘Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness’ (‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’)
Marvel’s Phase 4 continues with the premiere of this new installment of the adventures of the superhero played by benedict cumberbatch. With the incentive that the multiverses will have a great weight in the plot, which also works as a sequel to ‘Scarlet Witch and Vision’ and for the return to this type of cinema of sam raimi 15 years after the disappointment suffered with ‘Spider-Man 3’.

‘Red Rocket’
A comedy seen at the last Cannes Festival around a former porn actor who is not exactly going through his best moment and returns to his roots, although perhaps they don’t want to know anything about him. The ideal alternative for those who feel indifference (or worse) towards Marvel cinema.

streaming
‘Armageddon’
It has been made to beg, but Disney + has finally included in its catalog of Spain this mythical film of Michael Bay in which an unlikely group of heroes led by Bruce Willis He has to prevent a meteorite from hitting Earth and destroying our planet.
‘Armageddon’ review
‘Let yourself go’ (‘Along for the Ride’)
A romantic Netflix movie that adapts the novel by Sarah Dessen and has a curious plot. Beware of its distribution in which we also find familiar faces such as those of Andie MacDowell, Dermot Mulroney and Kate Bosworth.
in physical format
‘Without Remorse’
Not all the movies that are released directly on streaming are left without a physical edition and we are lucky that this entertaining adaptation of the novel by Tom Clancy going to be one of those exceptions. Managed competently by Stefano Sollima and with a convincing Michael B Jordan at the head of the cast, it may not be memorable, but it more than meets the mark.
‘No Regrets’ review
in TV
‘No one knows anyone’
The first feature film Matthew Gil is a thriller set in the middle of Holy Week in Seville and that uses the concern that existed at that time towards role-playing games. The result is as crazy as it is entertaining, and it is also currently a rarity in Spanish cinema when at the time it was still a fairly commercial proposal.

‘Wind River’
A thriller that, incomprehensibly, was never seen in Spanish cinemas. Built over a slow fire, leaning on the talent and chemistry they share Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen. All this under the baton of an inspired Taylor Sheridanboth in terms of its inspired script and effective staging work.

‘The 3:10 Train’ (‘3:10 to Yuma’)
An estimable remake of the western directed by Delmer Daves in 1957 that opts for a more violent and direct approach, relying for this on the interpretive duel between Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. It does not reach the height of the original, but it is worth taking a look at this version of james mangold.

‘An Officer and a Gentleman’
A mythical romantic drama from the 80s directed by Taylor Hackford, who knows how to take advantage of the fact that the story is set in a military academy. With a memorable ending and a good work of Richard Gere and Debra Winger.
Saturday at 10:00 p.m. at Paramount
‘Cold War’ (‘Zimna wojna’)
The Polish Pawel Pawlikowski had conquered the hearts of many moviegoers with ‘Ida’ and the film in question served to confirm that it was not a flash in the pan. Tomasz Köt Y Joanna Kulig lead this romantic drama set in the middle of the Cold War and with a tight duration that doesn’t even reach 90 minutes.

‘The day after tomorrow’ (‘The Day After Tomorrow’)
Roland Emmerich is perhaps the filmmaker we most associate with the end of the world on the big screen and ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ is probably the most inspired time he was doing it, or at least the most entertaining time. This is helped by a striking cast that balances the young promises quite well with illustrious veterans.
