Toy Story 5

Toy Story 5 is way better than any 5th iteration of a series has any right to be. Sequels really can keep being good if you give them time. This was a blast for the whole family. It's been a long time since so much of the humor in a movie hit just perfectly. Dads and moms were laughing just as much as the kids. An awesome movie.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.

Alita: Battle Angel

I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.

We hope this page was fun!
