It seems everyone has been anticipating and talking about Director Christopher Nolans’s new film: Oppenheimer. Andrew has been so excited. As a World War II history enthusiast he couldn’t wait to see the story about the creator of the atom bomb. To be honest this wasn’t even on Julie’s radar, but she is always down for a good historical drama. We are both fans of the director’s previous work, and the cast seemed jam packed with talented folks. Let’s dig into what we thought…

Review: is "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" Super? (or Not so Much?)
As kids growing up during the early years of Nintendo, we are both very familiar with Mario and friends. We spent many hours conquering level after level, and saw the evolution from 8 bit to more advanced graphics. (We even remember a terrible live action movie at one point that was such a let down…) So, when we heard a new movie was in the works we were really intrigued to see if this one would do justice to a nostalgic childhood franchise. We were also excited to see how the story would develop and to see this video game on the big screen. Read on to hear both of our thoughts of the The Super Mario Bros. Movie…

Jurassic World Dominion Movie Review: Dino-mite or not?
As kids growing up in the 90’s, the Jurassic Park series had always stood out as a favorite. Andrew was especially a fan of the franchise. While it was hard for the second and third films to stand up to the original, when Jurassic World was released years later in 2015 we were in awe. Rekindling this iconic storyline with new faces and updated technology in the mix was great. We have been enjoying the latest story line and couldn’t wait for the epic conclusion of the Jurassic World trilogy of movies. So how was the ending to this iconic franchise? Read on for our thoughts…

Movie Review: Disney & Pixar's "Onward" a Magical Journey That Has it All
We are both really big Pixar fans so when we heard a new movie was coming out we were pretty excited. To be honest though, we hadn’t seen too much marketing about Onward or really know what this new story was about. When we were invited to an early screening we went in knowing not much more than this was a story about two brother on a magical adventure. We discovered this story had a lot of interesting facets. Read on to hear what we thought about this latest addition to the Pixar film family…

Is "The Rise of Skywalker" an Epic End to the Star Wars Saga?
Growing up we both were intimately familiar with Star Wars Episodes IV, V, and VI and practically wore out the VHS tapes. While we wouldn’t call ourselves super fans, Star Wars has always been enjoyable and held a special place in our hearts; when the franchise was acquired by Disney it just felt right to us. We recently went on a Star Wars movie marathon (thanks Disney+!) to gear up for the last installment. It was so enjoyable to watch films we hadn’t see in years and really get clear on characters and details. We were also reminded how “The Last Jedi” felt a bit mediocre to us. With plot holes and silly moments it felt a little fluffy, but it also felt like it was building for the final chapter.
We were excited to hear that for “The Rise of Skywalker” J.J. Abrams was back at the helm. But we knew he had his hands full to not only include nostalgia from all the movies previously, but also bring in new exciting moments, and tie up a lot of loose ends. When we were invited to an early screening of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker we felt a big build up of excitement and nerves. This could be the final goodbye to many beloved characters (including ones that had been around since before we were even born!)

Movie Review: Disney's "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil"
Maleficent has always been one of the most memorable Disney villains and we had really enjoyed when Disney developed the live action “Maleficent.” Unlike some of the other movies that stuck close to the original story, this movie offered a unique and memorable twist. When we heard that a sequel was coming out (by the way can you believe it’s been five years since the first?) we were excited to see where this story would continue. Last night we were invited to attend an early screening of “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”, read on to hear what we thought…
