Just watched Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning on Paramount+. Not as good as Rogue Nation, Fallout or Dead Reckoning which is disappointing. But it gets better as it goes.

A ★★★½ review of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)
When this follow-up to Dead Reckoning and supposed finale to the Mission: Impossible film series as a whole first started, it had me worried because it goes a bit heavy on the corny side as we flashba...

Just watched Duck Soup. Still makes me laugh hard. Probably the best political satire Hollywood ever made.

This is not only the funniest Marx Brothers film but it also might be Hollywood's funniest political satire. Groucho Marx plays the leader of a country that is going to war. Which is a premise that ma...

Some people complain that The Super Mario Bros. Movie was too conventional, but compared to past video game film adaptations, it was actually kind of radical. The reason why is explained in this video.

Just watched Waking Life. It's refreshingly untethered by narrative convention and it's one of the few American movies that doesn't insult my intelligence, so I liked it.

First Kensuke Tanabe retires from Nintendo and now Hideki Konno is leaving the company as well! He helped design Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, he directed Yoshi's Island and Luigi's Mansion and he co-developed the Mario Kart series. A legend!

Resharing my review of The People's Joker because it's now free on Tubi. I watched it back in 2024 in a small indie theater on a rat-infested street. Which tells you everything about what kind of movie it is.
