Indiana Jones 5 is the Only Roller Coaster I Would Ride

We really enjoyed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, it was nostalgic and a little melancholic for me. Since I feel it’s Mr. Ford’s last time as Indiana Jones.

On the bright side, I could see the character of Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), taken the mantel in any future film based on the adventure theme. It was nice to see familiar faces like, Karen Allen and John Rhys-Davies.

Our other crew, checked out The Super Mario Bros. movie. Check out what JimmityCritic (11yrs), had to say below.

It made me cry cuz it was that good and I wish that the Mario games could actually be the way the movie is made because there was a lot more free roaming and it would be a lot more fun. The storyline is easier to follow in the movie, then in the video games  

I feel that some of the villains for example, King boo was under used.  

I feel Bowser could have used his power star at the beginning of his fight with Mario but overall, he had a good storyline and his motives were clear from the start. 

This could be a good family movie especially when trying to find a movie to watch during family movie night because it has a lot of elements of comedy getting through struggles and a wonderful good vs evil storyline. 

Based on the world of Nintendo’s Mario games, the film invites audiences into a vibrant, thrilling new universe.

Synopsis: While working underground to fix a water main, Brooklyn plumbers Mario (Chris Pratt; Jurassic World and The LEGO Movie franchises) and brother Luigi (Charlie Day; It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) are transported down a mysterious pipe and wander into a magical new world. But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi.

Showcasing an all-star lineup who voice the iconic pop culture characters, The Super Mario Bros. stars Anya Taylor-Joy (Last Night in Soho, The Queen’s Gambit), Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Seth Rogen (Neighbors, An American Pickle), Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda franchise) and Fred Armisen (Wednesday, Portlandia).

Boasting an A CinemaScore® and 96% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes, the Nintendo and Illumination-produced pop-culture spectacular of the year comes home in a next-level experience, unlocking over 30-minutes of bonus content that is sure to delight all Super Mario Bros. fans. Available on June 13.

Disney’s Live-Action Reimagining of The Little Mermaid is Here!

We got to screen the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, and of course we didn’t know what to expect. And what a delight this film is, and it is visually stunning. I right away gave it, two thumbs up! 

If you remember the animated musical classic, and loved it! I think you’ll enjoy this version also. Halle Bailey is perfect as Ariel. Her voice is amazing, when she sang “Part of your World,” you had a room full of movie critics breakout in spontaneous clapping. There was lots of good laughter through the theater, especially when Daveed Diggs (voice of Sebastian) and Awkwafina (voice of Scuttle) were on screen. Especially during the rap they did together. Which was one of the highlights of the film.

Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, was fantastic. The whole cast were enjoyable to watch. It includes Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Jacob Tremblay (voice of Flounder), Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, and Javier Bardem as King Triton.

Synopsis: The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life–and her father’s crown–in jeopardy. 

The film is directed by Rob Marshall with a screenplay by David Magee. The songs feature music from Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman, and new lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

There’s a brand new soundtrack for Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” is available now to Pre-Save, Pre-Add or Pre-Order here.
