Jupitermoon (2009)

‘The Bear’ Season 2 has all the right ingredients for both comedy and drama.

A young boy who runs away from home discovers friendship when he befriends a young dragon in this animated movie.

The film centers around two young women, Becca and Sam, who were once high school sweethearts until they reconnect in their town.

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes on the heels of its billion-dollar grossing predecessor, and seeks to do absolutely nothing other than repeat its success. In this, the film is eminently effective. If you have seen the previous film, you can expect something extremely similar in this package.  That is, a barrage of references to Nintendo intellectual property wrapped in a plot that provides the thinnest layer of emotional payoff for the characters.

The film didn’t have to be as long as it is. It just dragged on and on with scenes that had no substance. Every so often we get an action scene, and even those isn’t that fun.
