    Where to Watch: You can rent or purchase this movie at most digital movie retailers. As of this writing, it’s not available on any streaming service.

    Any Bias? Yup, I love the Toy Story movies. I was definitely looking forward to seeing this one too.

    Review: Overall, I liked it. I thought it was better than Toy Story 4, but not better than the first three movies. The message in this movie was thoughtful and gives you something to think about. But, that’s a different topic for a different day. The animation was top notch as usual and so was the voice acting. Even though this was the 5th movie in the franchise, it never felt like it, meaning it did not feel like a cash grab type of sequel. Which is something you can’t really say too often for a long running franchise.

    I wholeheartedly recommend watching it. You won’t be disappointed, especially if you are a big fan of the Toy Story movies in general.

  • Masters of the Universe (2026)

    Info: Rated PG-13. To learn more about this movie, please visit IMDb: Masters of the Universe (2026) – IMDb

    Where to Watch: As of this writing, this movie is an Amazon Prime Video exclusive and is only available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.

    Any Bias? Some. I used to watch Masters of the Universe as a kid so I was a little interested to see how this movie would turn out.

    Review: This movie was fun to watch! Popcorn type flick through and through. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and honestly, that is one of the main reasons I enjoyed it. The cast looked like they were having a lot of fun but, I think Alison Brie had the most fun out of all of them playing Evil Lyn.

    Watch it if you’re in the mood for something silly that has pretty good action sequences. Just don’t expect too much.

    Any Bias? I loved the show and I was looking forward to the movie.

    Review: I thought the movie was entertaining and I liked it. Not sure why the critics were harsh. It wasn’t perfect by any means, but it was decent & it had its moments. I’d recommend watching it especially if you liked the show. There really isn’t too much more to say to be honest. So this review will be short and sweet.

    Info: Rated R. To learn more about this movie, please visit IMDb: The Odyssey (2026) – IMDb

    Any Bias? Yes. I’m a huge fan of Christopher Nolan’s movies.

    Review: There isn’t much to say here other than watch it. It was great! I just wish there was a 70mm IMAX closer to me so I could’ve watched it there.

  • Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025)

    Info: Rated PG-13. To learn more about this movie, please visit IMDb: Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) – IMDb

    Where to Watch: You can rent or purchase this movie at most digital movie retailers. As of this writing, this movie is also available to stream on Disney+.

    Any Bias? Yes, I am a fan of James Cameron’s movies, and I generally like the Avatar movies overall. I had decent hopes for the third installment that it would at least be just as good or better than the second one.

    Review: Honestly, this one was pretty good, and I enjoyed it more than the second one. It never felt like it was 3 hours long, it went by quickly. The pacing and story were good. Oona Chaplin did great as Varang, she really knocked it out.

    Story aside, it still amazes me how technically & visually impressive the Avatar movies are. I am just in awe anytime I watch one of them. The VFX in the third one is the best out of the three movies in my opinion. Can’t wait to see how James & crew top this one.

  • The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)

    Info: Rated PG. To learn more about this movie, please visit IMDb: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) – IMDb

    Where to Watch: You can rent or purchase this movie at most digital movie retailers. As of this writing, it’s not available on any streaming service.

    Any Bias? Yup, I grew up playing the games and love them. I’m a huge Mario fan!

    Review: While I enjoyed it overall, I felt like it was missing something. It’s like they failed to capture that Mario magic they captured so well in the first one. Some scenes felt forced and rushed in general. This is not a complete waste of time to watch, just don’t really expect terribly too much from it.

  • Mortal Kombat II (2026)

    Info: Rated R. To learn more about this movie, please visit IMDb: Mortal Kombat II (2026) – IMDb

    Where to Watch: You can rent or purchase this movie at most digital movie retailers. As of this writing, it’s not available on any streaming service.

    Any Bias? Yup, I grew up playing the games and love them. I’m a huge MK fan.

    Review: Just like the games, MK II was better than MK I (2021) in every way. The movie won’t win awards, but it was a fun watch! I enjoyed it. The actress who played Kitana did an awesome job. So did Josh Lawson as Kano, he stole the scene every time. I was a little skeptical when they announced that Karl Urban was going to play Johnny Cage, but he did great. Karl Urban in general is great, I just wasn’t sure if he was the right fit for this role. I was wrong lol Worth watching if you’re in the mood for a movie like this.
