The Super Mario Bros. Movie, 2023 – ★★★★
It's pretty simple in it's premise but it has a good overall feel like "Mario". I particularly liked the occasional bits where it would shift into a "side scrolling platform view".
Also, plenty of classic NES and Mario Easter Eggs to watch out for, plus there were some unexpected Evangelion Easter Eggs. At least they really felt like they were intentional.
5-25-77, 2022 – ★★★½
I am watching this wondering why John Francis Daley looks so damn young then later found out its because this film was shot 15-20 years before it was released. Before he was in Bones for the most part.
Anyway, its an interesting autobiographical film about a kind of nobody level movie maker, which kind of gives it some weird endearing charm.
There is a line from one of the characters talking about old serial mini films, and how yeah, they look like crap, but you can tell everyone had a lot of fun making them. That feels really self reflecting here.
