- One Upon A Time…In Hollywood
We all know how incredible and determined Quentin Tarantino is as a director, but calling his films incredible would be an understatement. His latest movie, Once Upon A Time … In Hollywood, focuses on 2 parallel storylines. One of them is centered on Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. Leo plays the character Rick Dalton, who is an actor adjusting to Hollywood’s golden age. His previous T.V. hit, Bounty Law, introduced him to Brad Pitt, who plays Cliff Booth, Leo’s double and stuntman. These two strike as a powerful duo struggling to make it to the top in an industry they don’t even recognize anymore.
The other storyline is fixated on Sharon Tate’s fictionalized version, which Margot Robbie plays beautifully. Many aware of Sharon Tate’s real-life might not like the movie’s ending where the 2 stories come together. This movie can easily classify as a docudrama or documentary, and Quentin Tarantino did an excellent job directing it. If you’re in for some drama, action, thriller, and comedy, add this to your list right now!
- Bad Boys for Life
Who doesn’t love action and comedy? Not many storylines and scripts can pull it off, but the 2020 buddy cop movie does it flawlessly. The story goes something like this: Will Smith and Martin Lawerence as Miami buddy cops, the only problem is they’re aging, and they can feel it bringing them down. Although they can still shoot, drive, and fight exceptionally better than most cops their age, they take help from a much younger and enthusiastic police unit known as AMMO. The two teams go against a powerful Mexican drug lord who’s willing to do anything for revenge. If you’re a fan of classic action police movies, then this one is definitely going on your list.

- Little Women
As the title suggests, this movie is, in fact, about women, but they’re in no literal sense, little.

Little women does exactly that, except its set in the 19th century when a woman was always assumed to conform to societal attitudes and expectations. The movie shows the lives of 4 sisters living in post-Civil War times. With a mother going to great lengths to cover for her kids, the March sisters are determined to undo any societal expectations. The particular 2019 adaption of the movie has received critical recognition for its storyline and cast.

The film beautifully captures Hughes’s passion and love in his heart for aviation, and DiCaprio delivers it perfectly. The story focuses on the risk-taker and his life affairs with heartbreak, risk, and enemies. If you’re a fan of DiCaprio and enjoy watching well-done biopics, give this movie a watch this weekend.
