In A Pinch

Steve Kaycee has been on a tear (especially in 2023, 2024 and 2025) with writing multiple blog entries in a single week and doing so for multiple weeks.

However, he has grown tired of constantly converting fairly new blog entries into non-menu website pages, as he feels that A] Doing so doesn’t give such blog entries the proper exposure that they deserve and B] The constant impromptu pre-writes take their toll on him more and more.

But luckily, the impromptu pre-writes have (and will continue) to dwindle, as will the early non-menu website page conversions. And of course, with the latter being said, this page comes into play once again, as Steve Kaycee has a blog entry that he started on July 7 and finished on July 8, with it being him unveiling 18 movies that he had in reserve for the assessment/re-assessment roster.

You can see it below.

“Flickasbord, Volume 171”

This month has been a rapid return to the Flickasbord series, as I have put forth four such entries since Thursday, and I’ve already netted a couple of HCP (Hard Copy Pending) movies in “Heads Of State” and “College Musical”. And given that I’ve been saving a list of 18 movies amassed for addition to the assessment/re-assessment roster, this entry will make number five.

Let’s begin.

First up, let’s stay with those 18 amassed movies, as I have chosen them on the basis that each one of them can uniquely compliment a current Top 18 Flickuum movie. And of course, that uniquely specific basis isn’t the only reason that I chose those 18 because in addition, they each have a specific trait that makes them assessment-worthy. And since they are 18 still mysterious movies, I will divulge their names via the typical chart format below:

MovieWhat makes it assessment-worthy
The Last SummerIt features Halston Sage.
LaggiesIt was the Keira Knightley-led A24 movie that kept getting overlooked.
Open RoadThis might be the second “post-From Prada To Nada” success for Camilla Belle.
West MichiganThis movie features breakout star Sydney Agudong (Lilo & Stitch) in her very first movie.
Hot Summer NightsThis movie is another branch off the A24 tree and it gives Maika Monroe a substantial role.
Ali G IndahouseMy cousin told me that Rhona Mitra is the best part of this movie, thus it will be assessed on that opinion alone.
SplitsvilleThis movie had me at Adria Arjona.
A Million Miles AwayThis movie had me at Rosa Salazar.
Honey Don’t!This is the perfect chance for Aubrey Plaza to get redemption for both “My Old Ass” and “Megalopolis”.
Justice League: Gods And MonstersI noticed this movie having praised heaped upon it in a Watch Mojo video or What Culture video, thus planting a seed in my head to assess it.
Young GunsVarious videos of John Randle telling the story about this movie are why it movie will finally get assessed.
On Swift HorsesThis movie can be a good complimentary one to “Back To Black”, along with it having both Daisy Edgar-Jones and Sasha Calle.
OpusThis is the third A24 movie in this group, thanks to both Ayo Edebiri exploding since “Bottoms” and the presence of Amber Midthunder.
At Her FeetThis movie is the second notable “non-Lilo & Stitch” movie to feature Sydney Agudong.
BushwickThis movie has slipped through the cracks for nearly a year, yet it continued to have staying power for finally becoming assessment-worthy. Plus, it gives Angelic Zambrana a substantial role.
ZodiacI’m catching “Spartan” vibes with this movie and it has finally emerged to join this group, due to the aforementioned “Spartan” being up for re-assessment.
Greedy PeopleIt features Lily James.
Cold MountainThis movie is littered with big names, including 2024 best actor winner Cillian Murphy buried deep on the call sheet.

Alright, so now that I finally divulged all of those movies, it’s time to shift gears from what I had amassed nearly two weeks ago to what I discovered yesterday, which was another one of Anna Camp’s recent movies will finally be accessible to assess. And as to what movie is, well it’s “Nuked”, which has vibes of the gruesome twosome, known as “Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World” and “It’s A Disaster”. But unlike those two movies, it’s not one of those “panic p_ _ _, end of the world” type movies that will leave you on a fucking cliffhanger, as it’s instead about nuclear catastrophe coming towards a house full of people, including the aforementioned Anna Camp. Of course, I want all of the characters to survive, so I will have faith that the Deena Kashper-directed movie will wipe the floor with that aforementioned gruesome twosome.

And finally, I always have at least three items in every Flickasbord entry because having just two gives each entry an unfinished feel to it. So, with that being said, I really had to put on my thinking cap for this paragraph until I looked at my list of undocumented assessments to discover that one of those “young people with a medical condition” type movies was among the undocumented. And as to what that movie was, well it was “Everything, Everything”, which has that same mixed emotions movie vibe that’s also in the trio of “Midnight Sun”, “Five Feet Apart” and “Clouds”. And given that the second of those three movies will be evaluation number 1,411 in late-December as a sign of supporting Justin Baldoni, the Stella Meghie-directed movie has been added to the roster for an assessment that will occur sometime between now and then.

Well, I have some more firepower for The Flickuum and I’m inching closer to that fourth Varsity vs. JV style battle of 25 more movies graduating to Tier 5. But I’m going to have to be damn near perfect before Wednesday since I want 50 Tier 5-ready movies by then.

Until the next time.
