Well, I’m four days removed from pardoning Movie-Ocrity/Dishonorable Mention movies. But other than “Super”, the pardoned movies that I have re-assessed proved to me that they are what I thought they were, thus opening more pre-Dream Scenario space on the roster.
Let’s begin.
First up, I never thought that I would get an opportunity to assess the Megan Fox movie “Good Mourning”, due to it being suppressed from all digital rental apps and streaming services. But thanks to IMDB listing that movie as being available via Paramount+, that opportunity is a reality, thus completing the amount of her movies that I was intending to round out for assessment/re-assessment nearly two months ago. Now let’s see if the seven movies of hers that I have added to the roster will all join the seven movies of hers that have punched overall guaranteed Project spots.
Next up, Aaron Pierre finally put forth an eventual Project movie via him lending his voice to “Mufasa: The Lion King”. And while that movie will likely go down as his best Flickuum movie, he’s way too cool to have just one Flickuum movie, thus I have added his two live-action movies “Foe” and “Old” to the roster. Now let’s see if at least one of his live-action movies will join the most recent Disney movie in The Project.
When it comes to Disney live-action remakes, I have been pleasantly surprised, as I liked that version (2017) of “Beauty And The Beast” and that version (2019) of “Dumbo” (currently ranked fifth of 1,202) hasn’t lost against any movie (398) that was evaluated after its evaluation. Of course, I almost became totally dismissive of the upcoming live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch”, only to find that that movie will be under the direction of Dean Fleisher Camp, whom gave us the fantastic “Marcel The Shell With Shoes On”. So, given that that aforementioned remake is happening on his watch, I have decided to add it to the roster.
The afternoon/evening of this most recent Wednesday was a total gut punch, as the sitcom style format ruined the movie “The Portuguese Kid”. And as to why it was a gut punch, well Aimee Carrero was feisty and a total smoke show in it. But unfortunately, she couldn’t save that movie. Yes, it’s very rare to find Project movies that feature her, thus why I have very high expectations about her upcoming movie “Code 3”, which I’ll be putting a Google alert on, so that I know both how and when it can be accessible to me.
Ever since the first Melissa Barrera-Jenna Ortega “Scream” movie came out, I’ve noticed horror movies coming out of the woodwork, to the point that I have mixed opinions about all of that. And what I mean by that is for every horror movie that has the aforementioned Melissa Barrera, there are far too many horror movies like the over-rated “Speak No Evil”. And of course, that’s not all because in addition, I constantly see trailers for new horror movies that I’m disinterested in to the point that it feels like figurative overkill. But fortunately, I am not feeling that way about “Heart Eyes”, which had a kick-ass trailer that I saw leading up to my theatrical assessment of “Presence” two days ago. So, with that being said, kick-ass trailer equals addition to the roster. Now I just got to carve out some time to assess that movie theatrically.
And finally, a movie about a rebellious tattoo artist possibly getting with a prim and proper pre-med student? Sign me up because as a heavily-tattooed individual, it’s about time that there’s more representation about tattoos in the movie industry. Yes, I have “The Invisible Man” in The Project, but I have a feeling that Nick Cassavetes’ latest directorial effort will outrank the Rod Steiger-led movie.
Well, some progress has finally been made in amassing overall guaranteed Flickuum movies, as A] Re-assessing “Nosferatu” made all the difference in my decision about making it an overall guaranteed Flickuum movie, and B] The James Gunn-directed movie “Super” really came together for me during its second re-assessment. Of course, that two-game winning streak was followed by six assessments/re-assessments of futility in “Friends & Family Christmas”, “Under The Skin”, “The Blackcoat’s Daughter”, “Disconnect”, “Broken City” and “Flower”. But given that I have prime (no pun intended) opportunity to find Flickuum-worthy movies between now and my evaluation of “Death Wish” tomorrow afternoon, I’m confident that I’ll experience some more of the former.
Until the next time.
