The Super Mario Galaxy Movie: 8-Bits Forward, 8-Bits Back
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic I know it’s a bit silly for a 25-year-old father-of-none to be anticipating The Super Mario Galaxy Movie for as long as I have been, but what can I say? I’m a kid at heart, and that includes at the cinema. With the introduction of Rosalina, I would be at the theater opening weekend whether the product was…

Project Hail Mary: Amaze Amaze Amaze!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Project Hail Mary (2026) Phil Lord, Christopher Miller This review is going to be really long, so strap in. It’s been about four hours since I got out of Project Hail Mary, and I took those four hours to really let my thoughts about this film marinate—I also ate dinner and watched some March Madness. Admittedly, I’m pretty tired as I begin writing this review, so there’s…

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie: F is for Friends Who Make Absolute Cinema
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) Matt Johnson Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was the third film of my historic film-watching weekend, and it was the one that popped up on my radar the latest. It’s 4.4 rating on Letterboxd was striking, to say the least, and the trailer looked funny, so I drove all the way to Denton to see it—that was…

Avatar: Fire and Ash: A Dazzling Retread
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) James Cameron Story time! I was originally going to go to my local Regal to see Avatar: Fire and Ash, but Reddit convinced me to see it in IMAX 3D. Then I changed my showtime from 6:15 to 2:00 because I got out of school early, only to have the movie start, get one minute in, and then have the screen malfunction…

David: Getting Closer to Godliness
David (2025) Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes In an effort to take the pressure off of my fantasy football team on this playoff Sunday, I headed to the theater for an early screening of David, which I’ve had on my list for a while if only out of desperate interest. I’m not a big Angel Studios fan, but with the studio hyping it up so hard and believing it could take…

Zootopia 2: The Film Bad Guys 2 Told You Not to Worry About
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Zootopia 2 (2025) Jared Bush and Byron Howard After an insanely long and treacherous day of travel back to Fort Worth, I was ready to sit back and relax in my happy place and finally take in a great animated movie in 2025. Thankfully, that’s exactly what happened, and I was more delighted than I thought I’d be by Zootopia 2. I didn’t watch Zootopia for the first time until…

Sketch: Horror for Kids…and It Works!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Sketch (2024) Seth Worley Sketch was the first film of my whiplash-inducing double feature today, paired quite impeccably with Weapons. I’m sitting in the theater prior to Weapons right now writing this review, actually! My primary motivation to see Sketch was to hear Cody Fry’s first theatrical score, and while it was certainly one of the good qualities of this film, I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t the only good one.…

The Fantastic Four: First Steps: Super Style, Substance, and Score!
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Matt Shakman While I am growing a bit tired of having to drive an hour to the IMAX theater in Dallas on a traffic-laden Thursday night, I’m only becoming more enamored with my IMAX experiences, namely because we keep picking absolute bangers to go see. This includes The Fantastic Four: First Steps—one of two 2025 superhero movies whose trailers all those…
