Two Super Mario Bros Films
I heard there would be a film about Super Mario Bros. I thought again. Yes, there was a film about Super Mario Bros. But it was live-action with John Leguzano and the late Bob Hopkins; the film didn’t do much in following the story of the game; in fact, too many, it was pretty sloppy, and here is why.

Fast X ;review
Has the Fast & Furious franchise earned a victory lap? That’s the key question behind an appraisal of “Fast X,” a film that brazenly plays like a Greatest Hits collection from a hit artist. Not only does it directly link to the massive, franchise-turning “Fast Five” in its narrative, but it constantly recalls other films in this series either through direct mention or action beats designed to recall similar moments in movies like “Fast & Furious 6,” “Furious 7,” and “The Fate of the Furious.” The script by Dan Mazeau and "Fast Five" director Justin Lin (who left the film after creative differences and whose absence is felt in terms of action choreography) is like a snake eating its own tail, often playing like a parody of the franchise more than a new entry that cruises on its own four wheels. Even as it’s spinning through enjoyably goofy action set pieces, most of them enlivened greatly by a fun performance from Jason Momoa, there’s a desperate familiarity to all of “Fast X” that makes it even more like reheated leftovers than it has before. This is reportedly the start of a trilogy that will close the series. Let’s hope they come up with at least one fresh idea in the next two flicks.

Love and Death
We are reaching the conclusion of HBOs mini series Love and Death. At this point Candy Montgomery has been charged with the murder of her friend Betty which she has confessed to her lawyer. Her lawyer has also told her husband what has been going on and we are about to enter the murder trial. This is the second to last episode in the series and so far it has been a captivating experience as well as just a joy to watch especially for the talents of Elizabeth Olsen. This is an incredible project for her, she handles the heavy content so well and I hope she gets to do something lighter and more fun after this.

Mulholland Drive's SENSE OF LIFE
In Mulholland Drive, the audience is presented with two different versions of one character: Betty and Diane, the heroine and the anti-heroine. The first one--who doesn't really appear until several minutes of the movie have already taken place and might only exist in a dream world ("dream place") or alternate dimension--appears innocent, young, and somewhat optimistic like a hopeful 1950s/60s teenager who wants to live an amazing life. The second version (Diane) seems bitter, older, and virtually hopeless.

The Mother Review: The New Jennifer Lopez Movie Struggles to Escape Cliches
In her new movie, “The Mother,” Jennifer Lopez plays an ex-war hero who comes out of hiding to protect her daughter. Unfortunately, the movie may leave viewers wondering whether it was written by ChatGPT. The film's plot feels derivative, and it relies heavily on tired movie tropes that have been used countless times before. Despite Lopez's efforts to stretch her range, the overall movie falls short of expectations.
