The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

 I'm gonna have to watch this movie again. The nerd in me now wants to play the games, and I have no idea why I never played the games in my youth and why the heck I sat there watching my guy friends play these games but now....now I gotta play them. This movie was just fun, and after visiting Epic Universe and going around Mario World and getting coins and just enjoying the heck outta my day, this movie makes so much more sense. I learned that Yoshi eats things. I learned that Mario is the brave one and Luigi is not. I learned that Princess Peach likes Mario and he needs to recognize that. I learned that Peach has a sister named Rosalina. I learned that Bowser lies. I learned that Rosalina has a bunch of kids (I do NOT want to know how!) I learned that if her children had just paid attention and listened to her in the first place, this would have been a real short movie. And I learned that Princess Peach didn't need Mario, she didn't need help, but she was so grateful to work as a team. I loved that. I like Chris Pratt as Mario. Jack Black was just stupid as Bowser and I bet he had a blast in the recording studio. Donlad Glover as Yoshi??? whhatttt? That's amazing! Glen Powell as the heroic Fox McCloud was pretty good. He had that Han Solo/007 vibe for me. But there was a lot of action (and a dinosaur?) and all the little things from the games definitely makes me want to play it myself. I really hope my guy friends see this movie because they'd know everything in it.

Wake Up, Dead Man, A Knives Out Mystery

 Wow! Wow and wow! This was my 2nd favorite next to the original "Knives Out". A priest is re-assigned to a place he never could have been prepared for: the devil is alive and well in the church, on the grounds, in the people and in the plans. Josh Brolin plays Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, the local head priest and "God" to most folks. They don't jump unless he says "how high." There are only a select number of parishioners that stick with his word, as the rest of the congregation is slowly run out by his sermons. But there's a deeper mystery here and Josh O'Connor, who plays Jud Duplenticy, wasn't supposed to be there. A sermon happens, the Monsignor falls, and there is a murder in the church in front of witnesses. So who did it? Or was it more than one person? Or did one person make it look like it was more than one person? So much is going on in this story and then...cops show up. Geraldine Scott, played by Mila Kunis, calls up a professio...

Holidate

 hehehhe ok, I honestly just put this movie on to have something in the background while I was cooking dinner. Lo and behold, my husband sat down on the futon and started watching it and laughing uncontrollably. This girl has a mom trying to get her into a relationship, any relationship. And she's got an Aunt who loves any male at all. The leading lady, Emma Roberts, who plays Sloane, runs into Luke Bracey, who plays Jackson Pieretti, with one of the sexiest Aussie accents ever. These two agree to be each other's dates every holiday. And I mean EVERY holiday in the U.S. But Jackson states he's not interested in her, not seriously, and so Sloane goes along with it. But what happens when some else is interested in Sloane? And what happens when Jackson sleeps with someone else? Does it matter? They aren't in a relationship. They're in an agreement. There is so much fun profanity in this movie and so many fun little scenes, I was pleasantly surprised. Aunt Susan, played...

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

 Just on a whim, I decided to put this movie on as we ate dinner. Within 10 minutes my husband and I were laughing. The music was good, reminiscent of the 80s "Beverly Hills Cop" soundtrack, the cameos were fantastic, everyone a little older now, and there was a lot of excitement and adventure. The beginning of the movie shows Axel in Chicago, being himself and getting into trouble. But he always comes through for the boys in blue. But over in California, someone gets into trouble, someone is threatened, and his friend, Billy, calls Axel to let him know. Usually, Axel will just give advice or listen or both, but when it's his daughter, Axel heads out west again. But who is threatening his daughter? And why? And will the trio get back together again to solve a new mystery? And can they all stay alive? It was a great trip down memory lane and a wonderful introduction to new characters as well. Those who enjoyed the first movies will love seeing Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, Ju...
