As a big fan of Guy Ritchie, I’ve always loved how his films manage to blend really gritty action with genuinely funny, over-the-top humor – it’s become his signature style, almost a genre on its own.

Okay, so it’s been nearly three years since The Super Mario Bros. Movie absolutely smashed box office records, and now Mario and Luigi are taking their adventures to space!

In the grand theater of human folly, the same week saw Russia, that brooding colossus, clamp down on its crypto serfs with the fervor of a censorious monk, while Dubai, the glittering mirage of the East, threw open its arms to the derivatives dance.
