Night Of The Comet

Note

Survive the Night, Embrace the Fandom

In an '80s apocalypse, two valley girls dodge zombies and mad scientists, all while seeking hot guys, sporting rad fashion, and wielding Uzis. Equal parts horror, humor, and hopelessly retro, it's a cult classic cocktail shaken, not stirred!

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.
