The Legend Trip (2006)

Now that we're officially halfway through Hispanic Heritage Month, let's look ahead at movies featuring Hispanic & Latine representation through the rest of 2021.

The Roses is a wickedly sharp marital warfare comedy that transforms domestic dysfunction into high art. Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch deliver powerhouse performances as a couple whose fairy-tale romance implodes when his architectural career collapses just as her culinary empire takes off. What makes Jay Roach's remake so devastatingly effective is its refusal to pick sides—both spouses are equally sympathetic and monstrous, wielding Tony McNamara's razor-sharp dialogue like weapons forged from shared intimacies. It's a film that dares you to laugh at relationship wreckage while forcing you to confront the uncomfortable truth that the line between passionate love and mutual destruction is terrifyingly thin.

The three themes of lessons learned from HBO Max's Station Eleven are the same as the pandemic: love, regret, and art.

The sequel to the first film, A Second Chance: Rivals! talks about Maddy combating cyberbullying and racism.

If your upbringing was anything like mine, where the TV acted as an additional parent- there are so many new stories and perspectives to explore.
