For our selection of the weekend, we couldn’t miss the return of the legendary director Tim Burton for a Netflix series and the Guardians of the Galaxy for an Holiday special episode!

Check out our mini-reviews and have a great weekend!

You can still have a longer list of the releases under the “This Friday” section on the homepage.

Wednesday

WHY

Big event in the world of series with the return of Tim Burton as director! And what better universe than the Addams Family and more particularly one of its members, Wednesday. The story follows her in her first year at Nevermore Academy, a school reserved for outcasts. Wednesday has a very strong and morbid personality, which makes her an outcast among the outcasts! With an above-average sense of observation, she will investigate to find out who is the terrifying monster that has already claimed several victims and the terrible threat that hangs over the academy. And to achieve that, she will have the help of the iconic Thing. You can tell that Tim Burton is having fun with this universe which is perfect for him and has a wonderful art direction as well as his cinematography. The story is really cool to follow and has its share of surprises, we have fun trying to guess the identity of the monster and its many false leads! Wednesday will also evolve a bit in his closed and morbid side. The casting is really good and it’s great to see Christina Ricci again, she was Wednesday in The Addams Family films. Don’t miss this very good entertainment.

WHAT

The series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

WHY

To help us wait for the release of the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie in May 2023, Marvel Studios offers us a special Holiday episode! And it’s a real pleasure to see again our favourite team in full preparation of the Christmas celebrations. Rocket and Groot have found a new friend in the presence of Cosmo, the Russian dog we saw in the first film in one of the Collector’s many cages, and we’ll be following Mantis and Drax who have found the perfect present for Star Lord, namely Kevin Bacon. The first contact with Earth people is really funny and it’s really cool to see that Kevin Bacon playing the game and seems to enjoy it a lot. He will also show us his singing talents that he normally exercises with his brother and their band, The Bacon Brothers. We laugh a lot, the musical choice is again excellent and our only regret is that it only lasts 42 minutes. Get on board again with the craziest team in the galaxy!

WHAT

On a mission to make Christmas unforgettable for Quill, the Guardians head to Earth in search of the perfect present.
