{Disarmed} 13 must-have premieres and releases for the weekend: Shang-Chi , See , Psychonauts 2 , Swamp Thing and more
With a Marvel theatrical release, you have to think that that black hole of attention will devour the rest of the entertainment options. Nothing could be further from the truth: from game revivals of ten years ago to unexpected full-color reissues of cult comics classics. Our 13 weekend plans come with a siesta.
'Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings'
The new Marvel premiere after 'Black Widow' gives, this time yes, a folder to the previous phases, presenting a new hero and threading it slightly with the MCU. It is about a character born in the seventies in the comics and who has no connection with the universe of science fiction and cosmic high technology of the Avengers: here we have adventure, comedy and action, the infallible brand of the house, with a a story that combines Chinese tradition, underworld and family reunions.

'Evil one'
James Wan, director of 'Insidious' and the 'Warren File' saga, returns with a horror story in its purest supernatural neo-Gothic style .

'The Paper House' S5 - Part 1
The controversy returns about whether 'La Casa de Papel' is one of the best products that Spanish fiction has given in years or a story that should not have passed from the second season and whose transfer to Netflix has been fatal. Accompanied by a new batch of episodes, a preamble to the great final blowout that this production will give in December, with a conclusion in style. All the characters return (even several dead and all the unfriendly), the endless robbery, the great plans and a lot of action and tension to devour in one sitting.

In xiaomist.com 'Inside No. 9': this is the 'Black Mirror' with less neo-ludism and much more terror'Inside No. 9' T6
It has been compared to 'Black Mirror' and to a kind of 'Twilight Zone' in a huff code, but the truth is that 'Inside No. 9' is not like anything. At best, the previous Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith series, 'The League of Gentlemen' and 'Psychoville'. Dark humor, unforeseen drama, nods to popular genres and self- awareness emerge in different doses in this collection of highly British and unpredictable stories, whose sixth season completely maintains the level of previous years.

'El Shaddai - Ascension of the Metatron'
Ten years after its release on Xbox 360 and PS3, this renewed version of a cult classic comes to Steam that once displayed the clearest 100% Japanese video game label. The creator of classics like 'Okami' or 'Devil May Cry', Sawaki Takeyasu, has been in charge of supervising the port of his own game , which had nothing revolutionary in its simple mechanics mix of hack & slash and platform action, but whose quirky plot of theological edging and pictorial aesthetics earned more than one accolade in its day.
