Review Time

Way before Mrs. Doubtfire and others we had Dorothy Michaels: briefly; we meet Michael Dorsey/Dorothy Michaels/other characters [Dustin Hoffman:] he is an performer that wants to work in any way possible, he even put on acting workshops and goes for any audition he can get including but not limited to theatre productions, but even his agent has to time, he has been blacklisted from Hollywood due to the fact broadly speaking he is difficult to work with; so he vows to get work and not only that, also finance and star in his friend's Theatre production. Jeff Slater [Bill Murray:] he is the romantic playwright, roommate of Dorsay/Michaels; he is very good at keeping secrets and will help him out from time to time. A little time later and with a little bit of luck Michaels finds herself on this highly successful soap opera called "Southwest General" it is a medical-based soap opera.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is best suited to be seen there is a drama project over a comedy and don't get me wrong it does have some comedy throughout from time to time, but drama is at its heart. The framework and pacing of this 116 minutes is good; but this film comes from the times when they use an obvious a noticeable presence of background music to create emotions and/or/both pacing; I know this is fundamental filmmaking and it will always be used in the filmmaking, but for back then I am just pointing out the usage and volume of it and from beginning to end this film is a little bit dry in its presentation; but then again there is an argument that this was how things were back in the 1980's, so I don't want to be seen as someone picking on something that represent a particular time in history, so I'm not picking on it, I'm just pointing it out really.

Character developments, performances and comedy; the character developments are least good and well grounded versions of what they were going for as in everyday people living their lives whatever that may be and from out of nowhere this woman Michaels goes on to affect everyone she comes in contact with in some way or another; this is very much a cast performance regardless of the size of the role everyone makes contribute something so there is absolutely in this wonderfully genuine authentic chemistry between this cast; yes I did just saying this is very much a cast performance which yes this is true... absolutely true, but putting this to one side for a minute; Hoffman makes this role/roles look and feel fluently effortless as they are parts of the same person, just different amounts on mostly everything, for the younger generations the comedy can be dry, yet again this may or may not have something to do with its time in history as in decade of release or/and good-natured with this one example of Michael explaining everything to his agent; basically a sum up of his current situation up to this point in the movie and throughout his agent has questions.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; after everything is said and done I have decided to award additional marked, based on everything I have discussed in this content, for a little while there is an ongoing sequence underneath the closing credits and man it does have awards to its name such as 26 Winners which includes but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 1983 Oscars Best Actress in a Supporting Role Jessica Lange as Julie Nichols/other character: she is a main cast character not only in this film but also the soap opera. 31 Nominees which also includes but not limited to from the same award ceremony/event Best Actor in a Leading Role Dustin Hoffman [altogether this film has 9 Oscar Nominees to its name.]

Related content: Average Extra of: Premiership Problem: West Ham vs. Arsenal Match Robbery: 10/05/2026: Part 4 [which will also contain all the other parts up to this point as well: Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2026/05/average-extra-of-premiership-problem_36.html

I have just realised: by looking at other people's content, what I have been hearing for the last almost 4 days has been mostly a hot steaming pile of garbage; this entire situation should have been relatively easy to clean up or clear up; originally I was under the impression that jocelyn for position as West Ham sent over the ball from their corner and then what happened with Arsenal's goalkeeper David Raya: was Phase 1 ; I come to realise it wasn't and yes I am now fully aware of the fouls from the Arsenal players on the West Ham players, I was aware of this beforehand, but I now have a clearer picture of the order of this incident/scenario.

The real Phase 1: is a foul on West Ham's Pablo by Leandro Trossard, so for all intents and purposes until this foul is cleared up it is almost irrelevant if Pablo has fouled the Arsenal goalkeeper. Where it is Trossard that begins this whole sequence of events by facing away from the football and has no intention of actually playing football: it is his intentional interference that causes the first foul, which then causes Pablo to foul/interfere with Raya and then you have Declan Rice fouling a West Ham player: I will say this one more time I know there broadly speaking more going on in this situation then I have put here.

But in my defence; I have put everything that we need to focus on in this scenario in the right political order and this is so important for the next section of this content and you will understand why I have simplified it.

So as another content creator pointed out; why in the VAR check discussion did they made reference to questionable tactics/behaviour by Trossard, but spend more time focusing on the foul on the Arsenal goalkeeper? And the follow-up question is and this is crucial; why didn't they not show the right order of events and just go to the foul on the goalkeeper consequently the referee Chris Kavanagh could be blasé about the Arsenal players because he doesn't actually see the full picture and in the right order; so how is he meant to make an informed decision, without seeing how things really went in the right order? Which based on this perspective, now makes him look as if he was hanged out to dry by his colleagues, don't get me wrong there is enough blame to go around here, but let's just say if I was him I would be taking off these colleagues from my Christmas card list that is for 100% certainty; which is now opening VAR to negligence really, because if we were to spend what two seconds thinking about it; the referendum question is meant to make a decision based on all and I will say that again ALL the information available to him or her or person at that time, but when he doesn't have all the information given to him which you should have then I feel quite comfortable suggesting it is negligence.

Because what they should have been discussing is firstly is it a penalty? Or do we allow the goal? And based on this conversation we say yes or no and then we move on to the following phases of play such as the foul on the Arsenal goalkeeper, discussion yes or no and move on.

As I said when I first started covering the story; they have made a right pig's ear of this entire situation, the more I find out about it, the more I just don't like how things are going down; when you have this level of incompetence over who could potentially win the premiership and who could be relegated; especially when you could be champions in Arsenal have been doing similar tactics on scoring goals may be double figures of attempts of using this method and far often than not getting away with it this entire season.

So hopefully there is an ongoing enquiry into how they are going to proceed for the rest of the season and what ruling has to be made, because regardless if Arsenal are champions or not throughout the rest of time, I will not see this Arsenal team for this season as champions, because like I said they deserve a massive asterix against this; as this is possibly the worst premiership season in premiership history ever and incidentally just for the record again my football team is not even in the premiership, but I do like my football and I will be saying this again/calling for it again VAR without question and 110% certainty needs to go before the beginning of next season, because a will tell you one last thing VAR is a detriment to football, because it has stolen enjoyment from the game and this is coming from somebody that some time ago his team was in league one, going through those dark days was so much more enjoyable than having VAR. 

I have seen him use in one way or another the world corruption how this whole entire situation has played out, with this ruling not being in effect for roughly somewhere between 18 months to 2 years, Arsenal scoring so many goals using this method and now a similar situation happening up in Scotland with Motherwell vs./and Celtic where in a nutshell Celtic won due to an award of a penalty 3-2 on Wednesday 13/05/2026: when it wasn't: VAR needs to go for sure: it is failing at its purpose, so why are we allowing it to be used in our world of football; when I hope people are starting to realise that, before VAR there was some kind of weird comfort in it just being down to human error to why a decision was made, but nowadays it is down somewhere between corruption and/laziness in either way VAR can be thrown in the nearest landfill site.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effect/colourful effects/transformation/robotics/shooting/cutting/stabbing/torture/melting/burning

The son has come to release the father: briefly;  Bowser Jr. [voiced by: Benny Safdie:] he is Bowser's son and the Prince of the Koopas, as you will see he is highly skilled in his own right, but for now he has come to the Mushroom Kingdom; but there are two pesky plumbers standing in his way; Mario and  Luigi [voiced by: Chris Pratt and Charlie Day:] they are twin brothers that are plumbers, but at this point in time they are guardians of the Mushroom Kingdom

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 99 minutes film is straightforward in every sense of the word and it moves along at a good pace with some exposition in the character developments on more than one occasion with in one case this anime style exposition in their character developments; which is excellently done and lots of fun as well

Art, action and comedy; predominantly the art is very quick to see as in one way or another there is a lot happening; but before we dive into that they need to get something off my chest Yoshi [voiced by: Donald Glover:] he is a dinosaur type creature; that has a massive tongue like Gene Simmons [lead vocalist for the rock band KISS:] but if Yoshi chooses to swallow he can turn things into eggs and/or depending on what  Koopa Troopas shell colour; he holds in his mouth for a short amount of time; it can give him a special skill; like if my memory is correct if he ingests a red shell it gives him one round of a fire shot on firing. But back to this film; there is one sequence I really didn't like in this sequel and it comes to us into part; Yoshi walking into this sequence/with the camera behind him and then a moment or two later flipping the sequence where he is running towards the camera. I know what they were trying to do and that was to give a more immersive experience, but it just came off really clunky and tacky.

But other than that we have a lot to work with the planets aspects are fantastic, they have all been given their own personal touches; such as  Princess Peach and Toad [voiced by: Anya Taylor-Joy and Keegan-Michael Key:] she is the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and he is a right hand Mushroom; they are on a mission to rescue somebody: but they are currently in this casino backdrop; where relatively early on we have this smart and elegant dimensional shift done by one step of Princess Peach: now this is how you do a more immersive experience dimensional shift where our two are faced with taking on some Ninji or later on an action sequence using elements of the first generation Nintendo being fused with modern animation or feather/cape from Super Mario World 1990 from the Super Nintendo and watch out for this information robot; he is unintentionally annoying but it comical genius.

Character developments and voice performances; broadly speaking first of all; the character developments are by and large solidly good; but I am sorry that character developments of Bowser, the King of the Koopas and ruler of the Dark Lands [voiced by Jack Black;] is currently being held prisoner in a little castle in the Mushroom Kingdom; but I digress; his character developments are atrocious and moronic; as we have Bowser at one point making reference to the fact he is never been there for his kid, much later on he says to Mario basically we had our time and now I am back. So in essence the script writers have flushed what could have been an excellent character development arc for this sequel down the nearest waste pipe/portal; I know for the people that have seen this sequel it is a very small part of the film; but they did the first part when he made reference to the fact he has never been there for his kid, so all they had to do was finish it off with Bowser saying; you know what Mario, I have never chosen Jr. until now, so if that means I'm back... so be it I am back baby.

I mean it would have been an excellent character arc, it would have given Bowser character growth using the outlay of coming-of-age which in turn would have given Mario a wrinkle of growth as he can respect to that level  Bowser's choice, but like I said they pretty much flushed this avenue down the nearest waste pipe/portal, so as it relates to Bowser we are pretty much back to the start of his character growth journey. The voice performances; returning voices are more settled into their familiar roles as you would come to expect with this sequel, the new cast members; slot in fluently well and can't wait to see what they have installed for them next, but I cannot stress this enough I would say on seeing this film twice now Bowser is in danger of getting left behind as it relates to his character developments, which by the third film could end up sticking out like a sore thumb.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; as you can see it does have some problems in one way or another including I decided to take a mark off as the thing with Bowser it just irritated me so much, but then again it does tick every box on what a Super Mario Bro's animated film should be, but as I have previously stated it does have that outlay old linchpin approach to another project and if you don't know what this expression means in a nutshell; it many do the groundwork for a future project with introducing or moving characters around or essentially getting everything ready for another project in the future, so I mean I have heard some people say essentially there is much happening, there is but without giving too much away they are hopefully just getting ready for a future project and yes there are two closing credit scenes; the first after the first bunch of ending credits which are artistically excellent and the second is right at the end of the closing credits

This just gets so much worse for the Premier league and  PGMOL: I have now seen the footage and I am disgusted by it; they spent the vast majority of the time analysing why the goal should be disallow for West Ham United, but when it came to questionable behaviour on West Ham players by Arsenal players; at best and I am being very generous here they got about 30 seconds or less of consideration with the referee: Chris Kavanagh saying “I don’t think there’s much in that at all, I’m happy with that.”

So my first question is why did it take so long? Because there was nothing and I repeat nothing out of the ordinary based on this season's refereeing decisions? Second question why are you now using a ruling which hasn't been used for roughly 2 years? Third question; why hasn't any of the Arsenal corners been under this level of scrutiny and I mean 5 minutes; I hope they are very much aware they are setting a very dangerous standard, meaning every goal matters right? Every game matters right? Every job in football matters right? I mean 3 points is the difference between winning and losing or some manager losing their job or some stadium staff losing their job because the football club, can't afford to keep them right? Fourth question; I hope there is an ongoing investigation to why Kavanagh very quickly waved away any possible penalty for West Ham? Fifth question it has been alleged that Kavanagh was said to be confused by what he was seeing, so if this is/was remotely the case, why give him this crucial decision to make? Sixth and suspicious question; why was Kavanagh given the duty to referee this match? When it has been alleged that he is an Arsenal fan [now I know other content creators have shown evidence which I am also about to use; tweet from 2009 from his platform saying and I quote "I love how arsenal play"]

So forgive me I am a little brain damage actually I have a lot of brain damage... So did anyone else want to question if this was even appropriate for him to referee this match and because I am trying to keep this content professional, I am not going to even take the low road, all I am going to say is he should have never been down to referee this match regardless of what happened.

So based on current information; we have two choices; 1. Replay match or 2. Scrap VAR: because it was created apparently to clear up confusion and not add to it; it clearly doesn't do anything apart from take away the fun, it clearly divides fans more and more to the point where we are just angry; that Arsenal have been doing this kind of thing all season long and yet when another club does it against them, then we enforce the rule and as I have been dictating this content you have other football fans pointing out the other fouls that Kavanagh dismissed and calling it corruption which I strongly agree with.

Because you can speak to any football fan minus Arsenal at the moment and we are asking for one, just one thing... consistency which is another thing which VAR has failed spectacularly to provide; so to finish off this content; to resolve this issue I am calling for VAR to be scrapped from the start of next season, because now I have seen behind the curtain I don't like what I see and as I have already referenced it has failed spectacularly, I'm not kidding you to appease everyone I am strongly saying VAR needs to go, and very finely this is a call to all football fans stop saying it was the right decision, because if we were playing in another season, where we were all playing by the same laws I would say yes; keeping in mind I just said if we were playing by the same rules including being physical with one another.

Believe it or not I am desperately trying to bring this content to close, but I have just found out this:

"The Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel found referee errors denied penalties to opponents in Arsenal's 1-0 victories against Everton, Chelsea, and Brighton this season, potentially worth six points in the tight title race where Arsenal lead Manchester City by five points. Yet league data reveals Chelsea, Bournemouth, and Newcastle benefited from more net errors in their favor. Arsenal supporters counter with memories of harsh red cards last season, while the Gunners stay unbeaten in 10 after their latest 1-0 win at West Ham, keeping every decision under intense scrutiny as the race continues."

I need without that even though this is in my content I didn't dictate this and I do take responsibility for it; I'm just saying this is where we currently are at the moment.

This entire situation is making a Premier league look a complete joke: to the point where I'm getting so fed up with it, because minus the Arsenal fans obviously, because what I have seen every since this incident is there a complete lack of maturity and deliberately winding other fans up [which I have already received some myself, but I have chosen to ignore it now,] where it is now getting to the point of spilling over, so if you receive anything like death threats eventually you only have themselves to blame... I hasten to add incredibly quickly if this does become reality I do not condone this behaviour either.

But the main focus of this content is the following; I have just seen a clip of Sky Sports football pundit Jamie Carragher [on Monday Night Football: 11/05/2026; qualified this situation as essentially "pushing the boundaries."

So my thinking is; when you have to qualify things using this style of language is usually implies; try not to get caught in a situation verbally, so hypothetically if this was a court of law; I would be hounding him on this usage of language, because it is slight acknowledgement that this isn't clean and tidy in the rules of the game, so by definition by his own acknowledgement if it isn't in the rules of the game, it is qualified as breaking the rules; better known as cheating.

But to justify his opinion, he shows some of the footage that apparently in his eyes are not the same, then he goes on to show footage from three years ago in a Leicester match with Arsenal or vice versa that was the same, yet again if this was in the court of law, I would be hounding him for his usage of this method, based on it smells of desperation.

My point being if you have to qualify; if you have to qualify your perspective/opinion with not completely certain language, with footage from other matches then this is deemed as clutching at straws and if he is working so hard to justify it; it yet again highlights that this goal shouldn’t have been overturned; if it takes this amount of effort and resources to do so then the goal should have stood.

But my point throughout this ongoing situation is if they are going to disallow this goal, I want as a football fan all of the other goals the Arsenal have scored from corners this season checked, and checked again each goal taking five minutes each, because okay as I keep saying we have moved on from this goal or disallowed goal, if that is in the rules of the game so be it, but like I said if you have to qualify things using the language of  "pushing the boundaries" then that is a cheap and may I just say a nasty get out clause.

I am now at the point of; you know what would solve this problem?: Play the match again, I have already had someone laugh at me for suggesting this, but what else can we do? Everyone knew going in to this match of the stakes were involved and the referee unit absolutely choked, where you have for all fans and pundits and everyone else sharing their opinion; broadly speaking okay if there was a disallowed goal how about this? How about this? How about this? Okay we accept it was a foul, how about when Arsenal did this? How about this one? How about that one?

So yes my idea is completely crazy and unheard-of, but you tell me how we are going to get over this unprecedented situation? Where of course Arsenal and anyone connected to them just don't care, well if that is what you want to be remembered for good for you... But for me personally this has been a complete shambles and Arsenal have brought the game into disrepute this entire season, so when you have people like Piers Morgan saying all calling this squad the greatest in football history; he is clearly poking fun surely? He can't be serious... Because The Invincibles squad [2003-2004: which is the last time they won the premiership title with dignity, respect and justified winners of the premiership:] would run rings around this modern squad; because this modern squad can't function without Bukayo Saka or/and Declan Rice as The Invincibles were fortunate to have a squad of players that would fit in and in some cases just go out there and work for the result and actually play football instead of choosing to hit the ground.

Mark Halsey [ex-premiership referee] I am paraphrasing he brings up the entire point of this discussion and there is the level of inconsistency; for me this is why we are continuing to have this hot topic debate, which at the end of the day puts one club closer to winning the premiership title and the other closer to relegation and what if West Ham get relegated by one point? For the rest of eternity this almost Arsenal championship winning season will be clouded in controversy.

The premiership and Arsenal are individually or together making a rod for their own back for next season and I keep warning people okay you may go on to win the premiership this year; how about next year? How about three years from now? Meaning football fans don't forget and every Arsenal corner will be heavily scrutinised from now on until the end of time and finally I really do agree with Paul Scholes: when he makes reference to; this could be the worst team to ever win the premiership title.

I like how the rest of the football community: get it and the vast majority of Arsenal fans or anyone remotely connected to Arsenal just don't get it or want to get it. Meaning okay you want to disallow the West Ham equaliser for a foul on the Arsenal goalkeeper: David Raya. From the rest of the football community to Arsenal fans; where has this ruling being for somewhere between 18 months to 2 years? If you don't get it yet allow me to explain, we are not just talking about this situation, we are talking about multiples situations and as I referenced in the connecting content one of the main reasons that the Arsenal fans don't want to discuss things as adults or being unbiased is because they know they have profited the most with 17 goals using similar or identical tactics, where the football community has slightly moved the question on to okay this allow that goal, now how about the 17 goals Arsenal have scored this season?

Because over just the last 24 hours I have seen other content creators asking reasonable questions about this goal for Arsenal or that goal for Arsenal, based on seemingly the standardbearer of the West Ham disallowed goal

For me Professional Game Match Officials Limited have royally screwed up, because they have put in place this massive grey area of what is and isn't a foul and for a long time now Arsenal have been exploiting that grey area, as things stand allegedly West Ham will be going to talk to the PGMOL as they should, because it West Ham get relegated based on one point, then questions will have to be asked and also like to referenced in the connecting content by hook or by crook Arsenal have found a way to win the premiership good for them... but based on this turn of events if they go on to win the league there will be forever this asterix against this premiership title win, because of the 17 goals that showed or shouldn't have been allowed based on a rule that hadn't been enforced for a large time and then, conveniently when it mattered, but don't get it yet every decision or every opportunity of a decision matches regardless of where a club is in whatever league and for those Arsenal fans massively celebrating possibly winning the league, let me remind you; you are making a rod for your own back for years to come.
