Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One | Worth the Watch? - Episode 178
I love Mission Impossible and only saw them for the first time 2 years ago. Mission Impossible movies are remarkable for a reason. Tom Cruise, the Producer, with his new partner/director "McQ" have found a way to capture our attention and place us on the edge of our seats for over 2 hours at a time. But I was still nervous, and maybe you are too, because when you love something, you don't want anything to go wrong.
So did Dead Reckoning continue the Impossible Mission?

With control of the future and the world's fate at stake and dark forces from Ethan's past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan must consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts | Worth the Watch? - Episode 177
Anyone who has listened to me talk about movies knows I love the transformers movies, so anytime a new one is released I get excited and nervous, because I don't want to be the only one who likes it.
So can rise of the Beasts rise to the level of Bumblebee, or will it fall to the depths of Michale Bay madness?

Disney's The Little Mermaid (2023) | Worth the Watch? - Episode 175
The Little Mermaid has been a Disney classic for decades, and in the age of live action remakes this was one that was inevitable. However, Halle Bailey's casting was sadly surrounded in controversy. But this movie has it all for Disney's live action age - new "real" CGI, new songs, song remakes, new actors, and giant budget.
So, the question is - is it worth the watch?

Suzume | Animation Hall of Fav Volume 3
Makoto Shinkai is a director whose work I have come to love. It is hard to explain the excitement a new release from him brings me. But I was nervous after my disappointment with Weathering With you I didn't want to be let down again. So I went in with caution, and that caution was quickly forgotten as I was amazed by this film.
Suzume is a real depiction of our collective emotional vulnerabilities even if we don't want to admit it. We are feeling the changes of the world and want to preserve all that is good. Suzume tackles those feeling with it's amazing characters and story, with beautiful animation and an incredibly talented voice cast.
In short - I loved it.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Worth the Watch? - Episode 172
Who knew that videos games would be the saving grace of kids' movies? The Mario Bros. were two brothers were something I never expected to see on the big screen - especially this well produced (by Illumination of all things).
So, the question is - is it worth the watch?

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves | Worth the Watch? - Episode 171
This is without a doubt the biggest surprise of the year. A movie that I was not interested in at all, just going because it was new - to now become one of the things I am most excited about. I am not even a D&D player but Dungeons & Dragons has completely won me over. I'll tell you why - while completely avoiding any spoilers

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World | Animation Hall of Fav Volume 3
Animation Hall of Fav cannot happen without interruptions. When this year's season was delayed, I thought that would be enough - but it wasn't so here is a second attempt to start it up again.
Starting up Animation Hall of Fav with a trilogy of episodes from last year (2022) that were never released when that was interrupted.
This trilogy has been one full of great excitement and immense joy. I am thrilled to be finishing this trilogy with a movie I have never seen before. Can the concluding film live up to all that came before?
