Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. ~ Proverbs 3:3 NIV

I didn't think we needed more Toy Story movies, and now I'm convinced we don't need any more, but the writing in this was immaculate, probably my favorite going back at least as far as film 2 (twenty-six years ago) and possibly even 1. The moments of emotion feel well-earned and never syrupy. (100%)

I liked the new Star Wars movie, "The Mandalorian and Grogu," quite a lot. I never watched the show but never felt lost. The story was a bit thin, but 'unsophisticated' can still be fun, and even the "hey remember this from the movies" bits remained subtle and never insulted my intelligence. [90%]

Readily one of the strongest improvements of a sequel, and one of the best implementations of 4DX motion simulation, that I've seen in years, "Super Mario Galaxy" is an energetic mix of rambunctious, sometimes intense action and surprisingly heartfelt if random character/family dynamics. [95%]
