Gotham United: Celebrating the Dark and Mysterious World of Batman Returns

Gotham's icy streets set the stage for a dark ballet: Catwoman's clawed elegance, Penguin's grotesque ambition, and Bruce Wayne's tortured nobility clash in Tim Burton's twisted winter wonderland. Good and evil blur in a snowstorm of secrets and shattered glass.

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.

Project Hail Mary (Movie)

Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
