Pizza Movie: All Crust, No Pepperoni

I have always believed there are two types of high-school experiences. There are the ones you see in movies, where everyone is always cool, effortlessly social and somehow always at the right party. And then there are the rest of… Continue Reading →

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Feels Like a Power-Up That Wears Off Too Fast

There’s something kind of wild about watching your kid get hyped for a character that’s been around longer than you’ve been paying taxes. My daughter wasn’t even a thought when Mario first started stomping on Goombas and rescuing Princess Peach,… Continue Reading →

Film Masters’ Monster Mayhem Collects the Classics
