It: Chapter Two Review: An Ambitious, Worthwhile Sequel
This is ambitious horror filmmaking, and in a lot of ways, I fully admire its ambitions. For me, the film’s sloppiness defines its overall quality.

Reina, a strong and determined woman, discovers that her husband Ramiro and her best friend Angela have betrayed her. Not only are they involved in a secret relationship, but they are also planning to take control of the business she helped build from nothing. After a violent confrontation, Reina believes she has ended their threat and walks away from her past. However, she soon learns that both are still alive and expanding their power in an attempt to dominate the territory. Forced to return, Reina enters a ruthless conflict where pride, power, and revenge collide. In a world where betrayal has lasting consequences, Reina must confront her past and prove that pain can be transformed into strength.

For one widowed father and his five kids, an extraordinary gift will change their lives forever.
A few episodes in, I realized the most prominent theme of In The Long Run wasn't culture, race or even finding independence--but the idea of belonging.
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.
Life may find a way, but is it worth testing its fierceness and how far it will go?
The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.
