Steve Kaycee has been on a tear (especially in 2023 and 2024) 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 wrote on March 2, with it being him deciding to add an Emily Baldoni movie to his assessment/re-assessment roster.
You can see it below.

“Flickasbord, Volume 142”
Usually when I make an addition to the assessment/re-assessment roster, I document such activity in blog form. But I haven’t done that lately with nine of those additions, due to my pointless obsession of the attempted close-out for “Red Tails” taking the steam out of my writing. But after making a major adjustment to The Flickuum Project two days ago, I feel rejuvenated about both my writing and what remains for the 2025 leg of The Project.
Let’s begin.
First up, let’s start with those nine additions that weren’t documented immediately in blog form, as A] I added “Daniel’s Gotta Die” to give Carly Chaikin some “post-Last Moment Of Clarity” redemption, B] I added “The Amateur” because it looks like something that can outrank both “Death Sentence” and “Peppermint”, C] I added “Hell Of A Summer” because it looks like one of those pleasant surprise horror movies, D] I added “The King Of Kings” because I’ve been wanting a new movie from Oscar Isaac for quite some time now, E] I added “Bob Trevino Likes It” because it looks like a movie that allows John Leguizamo to show us something new, F] I added “Batman Vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” because it could be the best chance of the latter getting representation in The Project, G] I added “Song Of The Sea” because it reminds me of “Ponyo”, H] I added “Elvis” because one of my best friends mentioning it to me one day planted a seed in my mind about it and that seed has eventually sprouted, and I] I added “Just Add Romance” because I want a mulligan for Meghann Fahy after seeing that stupid closing credits scene in “The Unbreakable Boy”. Yes, I know that’s a long one-sentence paragraph with one period and even with all of those commas, but I got something else even longer coming up in this entry to the point that that something else requires the chart format, and I don’t want to over-rely on the chart format this time around. But to finish up about the crux of this paragraph, I feel like all nine of these now blogged about additions have what it takes to join the group that was both started by “Wildcats” and last extended by “Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark”.
I use asterisks a lot to make certain denotations, such as upcoming movies that are nowhere near being accessible for me to assess. And of course, with that being said, I have used the single asterisk denotation in Tier 9 to denote “Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse”, “The Collaboration”, “The One”, “Ship” and “Killing Winston Jones” as such upcoming movies. And now you can add “Code 3” to that list, as United States release information for that movie remains clandestine. Maybe I should create a Google alert for when that movie will be released in this country just like I did with “Your Monster”, which is my fourth favorite Melissa Barrera movie.
Justin Baldoni isn’t the only Baldoni with a rising stock in The Project, as it turns out that his fantastic wife, Emily, is an actress. So, given that, I went ahead to add a “non-It Ends With Us” movie of hers to the roster, with that movie being “Coherence”. And not only is it a movie of hers because in addition, she’s the top-billed name in the latter movie’s cast, so it has to succeed to justify her rising Project stock. Stay tuned.
And finally, I did a final once over of the non-webpage version of the Movie-Ocrity/Dishonorable Mention rankings to see if any more of those movies were deserving of pardons. And as it turned out, 30 of them were and for various reasons at that. So, with that being said, you can find out those 30 movies and their reasons via the chart below:
| Movie | Why it’s been pardoned |
| The Chamber | The plot of “Trial By Fire” reminds me of this movie. So, if that movie be assessed, then this movie deserves a second re-assessment. |
| Out Of Sight | Despite this movie not having anything to do with Jackie Brown via both movies having Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton), I would like to see Jennifer Lopez as Karen Sisco at least one more time. |
| Working Girl | Harrison Ford amassed three 1980s that one of my roommates highly recommended to me. This movie is one of those three. |
| Life Of The Party | I want to re-investigate the bizarre romantic dynamic involving four of the principal characters in this movie. |
| The Perfect Date | Matt Walsh plays a much more pleasant character in this movie, compared to the one that he played in “Hits”. So, with that being said, this movie deserves a re-assessment. |
| Our Family Wedding | This movie has history with “Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs”, thus it deserves a re-assessment. |
| Repo Men | This movie is most likely a package deal with the aforementioned “Our Family Wedding”, due to both movies being Forest Whitaker movies that were released in 2010. |
| Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon | Movies that were assessed during the summer of 2017 made the most of their subsequent re-assessments, such as “The Day After Tomorrow” and “The Bounce Back”. This movie deserves that same opportunity, based on Asian-themed movies having a successful track record of making The Project. |
| The Bone Collector | This movie is just too much of a big name to be completely dismissed from Project consideration. |
| Queen & Slim | This movie is a 21st century version of Bonnie And Clyde, and it could outrank the 58-year-old movie. |
| Life With Mikey | This movie is way too whimsical to be completely denied from being a part of Flickuum lore. |
| Babylon A.D. | If “The Last Witch Hunter” can be re-assessed, then this movie should be as well. |
| When In Rome | The way Alexis Dziena wears the kitchen apron alone makes this movie worthy of a second re-assessment. |
| Rebound | The late Tara Correa-McMullen deserves to be a part of Flickuum lore, and this movie is the only way for that to happen. |
| Fallen ‘17 | This movie had the misfortune of being assessed three days after the DVD viewing of “Wedding Plans”, which was/is the final episode of Saved By The Bell: The College Years. |
| Vampire Academy | The ending of this movie might not be as open-ended as I had originally thought. |
| Blindspotting | This movie is worth a second re-assessment, based on the presence of Janina Gavankar. |
| Burn Your Maps | The birth of a baby goat really turns this movie around. |
| The Kite Runner | This movie got unfairly compared to “The Boy In The Striped Pajamas”. |
| Texas Chainsaw | This movie is essential to the entirety of the franchise. |
| Thorougbreds | This movie could outrank “Thirteen”, which was the 649th enshrined Flickuum movie. |
| Sorry To Bother You | This movie gives off a tone that is similar to the aforementioned “Blindspotting”. |
| Immaculate | This is the result of Sydney Sweeney exploiting “Madame Web”, as she used her earnings from that movie to help finance it. |
| Lucky Number Slevin | This was the first incoming movie that kicked off the ouster of “Money Train”, “Jack”, “Blood And Wine”, “Selena” and “A Bronx Tale”. Plus, it’s also the one that kicked off the 2008 (and beyond) reconfiguring of The Project, which included the return of four of those ousted movies. |
| A Lot Like Love | Ashton Kutcher doubles down on 2005 romcoms, but with the radiant Amanda Peet this time around. |
| The Little Rascals | This movie paved the way for “Good Boys”, albeit a totally sanitized version of the 2019 movie. |
| The Little Rascals Save The Day | If the movie above can be re-assessed, then this one should be as well. |
| The Great Gatsby | Leonardo DiCaprio has a knack for thriving in period piece movies, and this could another one of those movies. |
| The Book Thief | Something tells me that I’ll regret not having this movie in The Project. |
| Burning Man | The presence of Bojana Novakovic makes this movie worthy of a re-assessment. |
Well, the cap space for available “pre-Dream Scenario” spots is -11, thanks to 31 of these 40 documented movies. And given the risk of an overage post-Dream Scenario, I’m going to have my work cut out for me in deciding which movies are totally deserving of overall guaranteed Flickuum spots and which movies I can do without.
Until the next time.
