Why watch this film?
Super Mario Bros. is the definitive leap of Nintendo's mascot to the big screen (after a terrible first attempt in 1993). Produced in association with animation studio Illumination (responsible for franchises like 'Minions' and 'The Secret Life of Pets'), the movie follows the basic premise of all Mario video games: the evil Bowser (voiced by Jack Black) invades the Mushroom Kingdom and it is up to the plumber (voiced by Chris Pratt) to embark on an epic adventure to defeat him. The animation is beautiful and there are some very successful script decisions (like making Mario's brother Luigi the "damsel in distress" and giving Princess Peach a more active role), but overall it is a movie that opts for very cheesy humor -the music choices are one of the main crimes. For some, it may be too hectic and not as memorable as it should be, given one of the most enduring characters of pop culture. Nevertheless, it's very fun, appropriate for all audiences and keeps intact the essence of joy of the franchise.

Adventure
Samson
After losing the love of his life to a cruel Philistine prince, a young Hebrew with Supernatural strength defends his people, sacrificing everything to avenge his love, his people, and his God.
The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar
After the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth, DETHKLOK frontman Nathan Explosion finds himself traumatized in a BRUTAL professional and romantic flat-spin all while he is tasked with fulfilling the prophecy and confronting the ultimate songwriting challenge: write the SONG OF SALVATION and save the planet. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia?
Richard: The Stork
A charming animation full of adventure and vibrant colors in a story about leadership and maturity. The film tells the story of Richard, a brave sparrow adopted by a family of storks, and his journey to find a lost jewel while leading a group of oppressed birds. The sequel maintains the essence of the original, while exploring themes of friendship and self-knowledge, with valuable lessons reminiscent of Disney classics.
