Movie 1: Hamlet
This is a modern, present day adaptation of the Shakespeare classic. Set in London within a wealthy Indian family. The acting is superb, especially Riz Ahmed who plays Hamlet. The cinematography is excellent and the soundtrack (although loud and at times very loud) works well with the dialogue and visuals. This is a very well done rendition. If you can see it with closed caption subtitles, that would be most helpful. No streaming information available at this time.

Movie 2: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
We weren’t particularly interested in seeing this movie. 2026 has been a poor movie year so far, so with nothing left to see, we went. Having said that, it was entertaining enough and the animation very good. Not exactly sure what it’s about, but if you are a Super Mario or Nintendo fan, you’ll enjoy this. Somebody is enjoying it because it’s the number one grossing film so far this year, with a worldwide take of $629 million.

Movie 3: Thrash
This is a Netflix horror film that is actually pretty good. Small South Carolina coastal towns are nearly devastated by a category 5 hurricane. After a levy breaks, in come the sharks patrolling streets, houses and neighborhoods for anyone alive. Not particularly great film making but entertaining anyway. And it’s currently the number 1 movie worldwide on Netflix.
SPECIAL NOTE: As mentioned above this has been a sad movie year thus far, but on a brighter note we’ve seen Project Hail Mary three times. And we have a good friend who has seen it seven times and planning more! We’ve rewatched several really good 3 globe movies on Netflix, including Lou, Mother, Birdbox, Straw and The Call.
