The Sheep Detectives8.0May 14
Biggest surprise of 2026 so far. Probably my favorite live-action family film since the first two Paddington movies. [Wrote about it this week.](https://michaelcarvelli.substack.com/p/mortal-kombat-ii)
Apex5.0May 14
Squanders what was a pretty promising premise about midway through. Add it to the list of generic Netflix thrillers I'll struggle to remember in a month. [Extended review](https://michaelcarvelli.substack.com/p/bonus-features-read-this-so-you-dont) as part of today's newsletter.
Balls Up3.0May 13
Just genuinely what are we doing here? [Mini review](https://michaelcarvelli.substack.com/p/bonus-features-read-this-so-you-dont) as part of today's newsletter.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie6.0May 12
A little step down from the first. Animation still looks great, but just so stuffed with characters and stories to follow that it doesn't find much depth to connect with. [Extended review](https://michaelcarvelli.substack.com/p/bonus-features-read-this-so-you-dont) as part of today's newsletter.
