  Mario is my guy. One of it not my favorite video game character of all time. Back in 2023 the original Super Mario Bros Movie released and I absolutely loved it, still do whenever I rewatch it. Sure it has it's problems but as a fan of the series it was near perfect in terms of fan service and understanding of the whimsical magical world of the plumber and his supporting cast. This time around however Nintendo and Illumination have taken it upon themselves to adapt arguably the greatest Mario game of all time (depending on who you're asking) in Mario Galaxy. A true space epic that first debuted on the Wii console. The story is pretty bare bones to be honest which is much like it's video game counter part as really who plays these games for the story?? we or at least I playe them for the character interactions and the smooth as silk gameplay. With that being said is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie a fun time?? oh boy is it. Big, visually stunning and hilarious at times The Su...

  The Raid meets Kill Bill is as best as I can describe They Will Kill You. Starring Zazie Beets as a woman with a dark past who answers a cryptic ad for a housekeeping job at a high end luxourious New York City highrise building. What follows is one of the craziest, bloodiest and truly bonkers movie of the year so far. It doesn't take long at all for Beet's character to figure out that something is quite right about the residents in the building as all hell soon breaks out in what turns into a fight for survival and the search for a loved one.  They Will Kill You features some of the narliest sequences I've seen all year so far. It's intense action beats are pure adrenline fuled as blood sprays across the screen scene after scene leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination as body parts are dismembered, sliced open and torn apart this movie is certainly not for the weak of stomach as gore is a plenty. Gory and flashy They Will Kill You is chaos incarnate. It is wildl...

  I really loved the original Ready Or Not movie. It was fresh, exciting and full of great moments and oh yeah it was an absolute blood feast. So when a sequel was announced I was skeptical at just how it could all continue and now it's here and I got to say it's not at all good and doesn't even really warrant it's own existence in what is a true first mistep by Radio Silence. Samara Weaving returns as Grace who after surviving the first movie has to go through the whole ordeal of hide and seek all over again as the stake do increase but at no point do they feel really all that important.  The original movie came out in 2019 and this movie picks right up from where it ended in what is a really odd start given just how much time has passed but that's not what is wrong with this movie as it darts all over the place with little no real likable characters apart from Weaving's Grace who over the course of these two movies has really proven just how great she truly is...

  Based upon the book of the same name Project Hail Mary is a sci-fi space adventure epic unlike anything I've seen in quite some time. Ryan Gosling is incredible as a science teacher called Rylan Grace who wakes up on a spacestation with no memory of how he got there and what is going on. Waking up from a medically induced coma it's his job to figure out what is going on, how to get home (if he can) and ultimately stop a catalysmic event from happening as with each passing day the Earth is running out of solar energy and within 30 years almost half of the population on Earth will be wiped out as a new Ice Age approaches.  Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller this movie is simply sensational on pretty much every aspect that a movie can be. It's funny, dark, emotional as really impactful as Gosling's astronaut meets an Alien from another planet that is suffering from the same fate as Earth. The two begin to work together after a long process of trying to understand eac...

  Written and Dreicted by Maggie Gyllenhaal The Bride! is a very different take on the story of Victor Frankenstein and his monster. The movie outright tells yout his as the opening and various other parts of the film are narrated by the Author Mary Shelley (also played by Jessie Buckley) who explains that this version of the story is all about the motherf**king bride. And boy is this story about The Bride as Jessie Buckley explodes on the screen in a performance that absolutely insane in the all the best ways possible. Everything from her demanor and the way she moves and reacts is so good and further proves her excellence as an actor and performer. Christian Bale plays Frankenstein or as he is known in this story Frank. His performance is the perfect accompany piece of Buckley's bride as he brings the chaos, he brings a real sense of energy and physicality when needed.  The Bride! is visually class and showcases a time in New York and Chicago that really was heavy and bursti...

  Rose Byrne gives a career best performance as a woman struggling to cope with life, her sick daughter and a whole lot else in a movie that is very unsettling and arguably more terrifying than many most horror releases in my opinion. The story follows a woman named Linda who tries to navigate what is a very difficult situaiton in her life with her sick daughter, a husband who is never at home and on top of all that an apartment that literally falls apart as her roof collapses. Mom and daughter end up staying at a hotel but it's not ideal as the daughter is attached to a machine that is allowing her to eat through it. Varuous stints in and out of hospital also only add to the extreme severity of the issue. Life is a nonstop struggle for Linda and Rose Byrne plays it flawlessly her heightened senses of dread, stress and wanting to be the best are really pushed to the forefront making this movie a fascinating watch to unfold. It's so uneasy at times and so tough to just sit throu...
