Oh yeah the Fast franchise, forgot about that.

Incredible cash cow. I tried to watch the first one and had to turn it off. Not for me.

It gets super nerdy around 3 or 4. I watched the last one and it might as well have been Harry Potter.

When was the last big non-nerd blockbuster? Titanic?

I take exception to using blockbuster as the standard here given, none of the current movies being discussed are blockbusters. However, given your criteria we have to go all the way back to the vety last true blockbuster, Top Gun: Maverick.

Reboots are nerdy.

It's time to remake Highlander.

Just finished Cocaine Bear. It was decent but I thought it would be better. Then again my expectations were probably too high going in.

In theaters opening night, it was magical.

Yeah it was my intent to see it in theaters too but I didn't get around to it. I bet that would have enhanced the enjoyment.

Anyone watched the new mario movie? What age group we thinking for kiddos?

Our family saw it in the theater last weekend (ages 12, 13, 14, 39, 39). It would be fine for any age kid I think.

I thought the movie was pretty meh. It was one of those where the trailer was way better than the movie.

They change pretty drastically around 5 or 6 to a giant absurd spectacle. They're far more entertaining than the initial ones.

Peter and Wendy on Disney+ was pretty good if you have kids.

The Pope's Exorcist was better than what I had anticipated. I think you'll enjoy it if possessions and exorcisms are your thing.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was amazing. I was pretty sauced watching this one, but I think everyone will enjoy this movie. It's sweet, aesthetically pleasing and a lot of fun. Amazing cast, too. Like, a lot more big names beyond Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez which I wasn't expecting.

I will watch both when they become the cheaper rentals.

watched half of dungeons and dragons and enjoyed it.

Saw D&D at the theater a couples weeks ago, and it far exceeded my low expectations. It's a fun movie, and the movie is much better than its trailers. You don't need to be a DD nerd to enjoy the movie.

I think d&d looks really fun!

Quantumania was entertaining but really dumb. The amount of CGI was also a little distracting. Definitely bottom 3 Marvel movie for me so far.

We saw it, my 4 year old loved it. As an original NES/SNES gamer, i thought it was well done.
