The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

After Bowser's defeat in the 2023 film, his son Bowser Jr. launches a crusade to free his father from captivity, forcing Mario and friends to travel through outer space and across new galaxies to stop him.

This was the definition of a more of the same sequel.   The animation was great, you know and love the characters from the first one and the introduce new ones that you connect with too.   The story is pretty much irrelevant.   The kids love it and you love it because of being connected to it in some way for pretty much your whole life.  So just enjoy the ride.

I would recommend people checking this out.   It will be just as big as the first one if not bigger and its worth the couple of hours.

Scream 7

When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.

This was a decent entry in the franchise.  I mean let's be honest at this point they are not reinventing anything and it's really just more of the same.  It was a decent amount of nostalgia, a good enough amount of jump scares and they actually definitely upped the violence of the kills which caught me off guard.

I would recommend any fan of the franchise checking this out.  It was a decent entry and nothing to really complain about. 

You, Me & Tuscany

You, Me & Tuscany centers on Anna, an American who becomes ingratiated with an Italian family after tricking them into thinking she is marrying their son Matteo. But tensions rise when Anna begins to develop feelings for the family’s other son, Michael. 

Even thought this movie was beyond cliche and predictable in every way, it really was a very enjoyable rom-com.  The chemistry between the leads was great and the role characters that filled out the rest of the cast each brought their own stamp to the movie to make it more watchable.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a very fun and crowd pleasing watch.

Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come

Following her bloody triumph over the Le Domas family, Grace's nightmare is far from over. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come finds Grace and her estranged sister, Faith, hunted by a new, more dangerous cabal of, elites, eager to seize the High Seat of the Satanic Council. As the game returns with new, convoluted rules overseen by a mysterious "Lawyer" (Elijah Wood), Grace must transform from victim to hunter in a desperate battle to survive another night.

This movie is pretty much just more of the first.  There was nothing added except for the sister and two people being hunted instead of one.   Same kind of dark humor, gore and chaos.   If you liked the first one I don't see why you wouldn't like it.

I would recommend it to anyone that liked the mindless gore/action of the first.  If you have not seen that I have no idea why you would go anywhere near this.

Hoppers

What if you could talk to animals and understand what they're saying? In Disney and Pixar's all-new feature film "Hoppers," scientists have discovered how to "hop" human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals!

When I saw this trailer the first thought in my head was um . . . . . . . . isn't this just Avatar but for animals?  And it pretty much was but in a much more heartwarming way.   The fact that they actually acknowledged at one point might have been the biggest laugh in the whole movie.   But the movie was very funny with great characters and connections.  This felt very much like Pixar getting back to its roots instead of being a little too specific with their recent releases.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.   It was a very enjoyable watch for both adults and the kids that they bring to it.

Avatar: Fire And Ash

The conflict on Pandora escalates as Jake and Neytiri's family encounter a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe.

These movies are very weird to review.  Visually - they are always stunning.  Honestly the only movies that you should be sure to go out of your way to see in 3D because of the technology used to film them.   The action scenes are great.  But like you can't really comment on the acting because well . . . . . . . . it's voice acting.   And the story is pretty much just there.  Has been from the beginning.   And then there is the run time of this movies that is just downright painful.  Like seeing this after a long week and long day of work was a massive mistake.  LMAO!!!   

Was it enjoyable - sure.  Again, visually amazing.  Like nothing can touch these.   But does it have to be sooooooooooooo long?

Reminders Of Him

After a perfect outing with her boyfriend, Kenna (Maika Monroe; The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Longlegs) makes an unbearable mistake that sends her to prison. Seven years later, Kenna returns to her hometown in Wyoming, hoping to rebuild her life and earn the chance to reunite with her young daughter, Diem, whom she has never known.

This is another heart string puller from the Colleen Hoover books to movies train.   It is a good watch if that is your kind of movie.   However, if you saw the trailer you quite honestly saw the movie.  I was honestly so confused that I could have sworn I had seen this but it was just the exposure of the movie from the trailers and commercials that gave you everything already.

I would somewhat recommend this movie to people.  It is not a must see by any means whatsoever.  But it is a decent watch regardless.

The Bride!

After a century of solitude, Frankenstein's monster seeks a mate, resulting in the reanimation of a murdered woman. The Bride, however, refuses to be merely a companion, asserting her independence and initiating a violent, romantic outlaw journey.

What in the blue fucking hell was this!?!   I'm sorry but this movie was such hot garbage.  How did these actors say yeah let's do this.   The first half was like a weird genre hopping movie between horror, comedy, drama, musical.  And then the second half was literally Bonnie & Clyde but with . . . . . monsters.

I would not recommend anyone bother with this movie.  Ever.

GOAT

Will is a small goat with grand ambitions, dreaming of becoming the greatest of all time (GOAT) in "roarball"—a high-intensity, full-contact, co-ed sport dominated by massive predator animals. Living in the hectic urban landscape of Vineland, Will gets a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join his favorite team, the struggling Thorns. Despite skepticism from teammates and a, , , arrogant superstar MVP standing in his way, Will is determined to prove that he has what it takes to revolutionize the game.

This was actually better than what I expected.  I figured it would just be the underdog sports movie which it very much was.  But the movie also had a lot of character development and good moral/uplifting side stories that made you much more invested in the movie for adults since kids were already guaranteed to like it.

I would definitely recommend families checking this out.  It was a better than expected enjoyable movie.

Wuthering Heights

The film centers on the intense, destructive bond between Catherine Earnshaw (Robbie) and her adopted brother/soulmate Heathcliff (Elordi). It highlights their shared trauma, social displacement, and cruel manipulation of others.

Movies based in this time period have always been kind of like my kryptonite.  There is something about how overly dressed and proper they all are.  LOL!!   This movie definitely had the same effect for me even though it was more watchable than most.  This just seemed like a Romeo & Juliet kind of movie in that time period.

I would sort of recommend anyone that loves tragic love stories checking this out.  Otherwise, there would really be no reason for you to bother.

Solo Mio

A wedding disaster leaves a groom stranded in Rome, heartbroken in the world's happiest city. However, with help from a determined local and a few meddling couples, his ruined honeymoon becomes an adventure that he never expected.

This was a cute yet completely formula movie.  It was kind of different to see a rom-com with a leading man instead of a leading woman.  And Kevin James actually did a really good job in the role.  He left his usual silly comedy on the side and it made the movie feel genuine enough to keep you interested.

I would somewhat recommend people checking this movie out.  It's a decent enough watch.

Dracula

Directed by Luc Besson, Dracula: A Love Tale (2026) is a gothic romantic drama starring Caleb Landry Jones as a 15th-century prince who renounces God after his wife’s tragic death, becoming an immortal vampire. Centuries later, he traverses time to find her reincarnation in 19th-century Europe, pursued by a relentless priest (Christoph Waltz). 

I honestly tried to give this movie a chance.   I made it about halfway through and honestly had no clue what was going on nor did I care at all.  There was literally no hook in this movie at all and it was not even worth finishing.  

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this movie at all.  It's a total waste of time.

I Can Only Imagine 2

A decade after the chart-topping success of "I Can Only Imagine," Bart Millard is on top of the world, but his personal life is fracturing. When his son faces a life-altering health diagnosis, Bart is forced to confront his past to avoid repeating the mistakes of his father. Featuring new music and a deeper look into the power of gratitude, this powerful sequel follows the journey behind the hit song "Even If".

This movie was exactly what you would think it was.   A spiritual heart string puller that is a decent watch.   Very similar to the first one - these types of movies really depend on your mindset when currently watching them.  If you are open to inspiration and hope at the time they are great and very reassuring.  If you are not you watch them like get the hell out of here.  LOL!

I would somewhat recommend people checking this out.  Like I said - if you are in the right mindset it is a decent watch.

Send Help

A woman and her overbearing boss become stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.

The movie honestly gave away pretty much every part of this movie in the marketing.  Like there were no huge curves or shocks.    There were jump scares and stuff but the movie was pretty formula.  That being said it was still a very enjoyable watch because of the dynamic between the two leads.  This was basically a very enjoyable tension raising movie.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  Be warned that there are some serious gory scenes but like they feel pretty real under the circumstances of the characters' plight.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Dr. Kelson finds himself in a shocking new relationship with consequences that could change the world as he knows it, while Spike's encounter with Jimmy Crystal becomes a nightmare he can't escape.

Not gonna lie - I thought 28 Years Later was TERRIBLE.   Like I did nothing but make fun of it while watching it for a whole bunch of reasons.   The ending of that movie was so random and ridiculous because I didn't know it was part of a two part movie filmed together that ended super randomly.   So my expectations for this were rock bottom.   I don't know if it was because of the super low expectations or just the fact that this movie actually was better I liked it more than 28 Years Later.   I'm not saying anyone should rush and see this.  Not at all.  There are still some incredibly laughable moments and characters in this.   Just that it was a better watch than the last one.

I would somewhat recommend that people check this movie out.  This is a better continuation than the last entry was but again - this could just be the annoyance of the last movie effecting my opinion.
