Silent Therapy 

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 Magician's Elephant has a strong multicultural cast and a heartwarming story about bringing two long-lost siblings back together

The film seems like an extreme interpretation of the conspiracy theorists that exist in real life. And then, there’s the twist.

At 2:17 a.m., every child in a third-grade class wakes up, leaves their home, and disappears into the darkness—except one. The next day, teacher Justine Gandy discovers that Alex Lily is the only student left, while the rest have vanished without a trace. Did Justine have something to do with it, or is a far more sinister force stalking the town, targeting not just children, but anyone in its path?

As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch. 

Based on the fairy character from previous movies, this fantasy movie gives viewers magic.
