Welcome to (the re-installed) Sneak Leaks, the page in which we leak information (via blog form) about movies that could potentially join the current movie assessment/re-assessment roster.
So, with that being said, he is blogging about the trailer of a movie that he saw, prior to his theatrical assessment of “Tron: Ares”.
You can see the entry below.
“Flickasbord, Volume 193”
Given the proactive revisions that I’ll be making to my goal of getting to 1,400 Flickuum completions between now and December 7 of this year, I’ve decided to use this day to write this latest Flickasbord entry, as I won’t totally know what each of the next 57 days will bring me. And given how much that I don’t want to leave any plentiful evaluation time to chance, I might be on an indefinite blogging break.
Let’s begin.
First up, I read something about an upcoming movie that has Chris Pratt, Rebecca Ferguson and Annabelle Wallis yet the release date for it was unknown at that time. But after seeing the trailer for it earlier today, I got confirmation for that release date, which is January 23 of next year. And of course, I liked what I saw of that trailer, thus it will be a part of the January leg of my 2026 theatrical tour.
During the almost six-month existence of the Garbage Claim page, the John Travolta movie “Gotti” was the only movie on that page until the Jessie Buckley movie “Men” joined it yesterday. Of course, that page never had enough movies to warrant a pardon until now, as the usage of vibrant green scenery in the latter movie is way more frequent than that outer space-esque color pallet in the Tier 5-bound movie “A Ghost Story”. So, on the basis of that vibrancy, as well as that movie having a “Get Out” vibe about it, it has been pardoned for a re-assessment.
Continuing on the topic of pardons, well six more have been handed out to movies that are on the Movie-Ocrity/Dishonorable Mention page, along with an exemption being handed out to a Tier 12 movie. And of course, to find out which movies that they are, simply view this latest chart below:
| Movie | Why it has been pardoned or exempted |
| Message From The King (Pardon) | A strong performance by the late Chadwick Boseman, and the presence of Natalie Martinez both make this movie worthy of a second re-assessment. |
| Comet (Pardon) | If a movie with an emotional cliff-hanger in “The Spectacular Now” can be re-assessed, then this movie should be as well. |
| Dare (Pardon) | This movie is neck-and-neck with the one that’s ranked directly above it, as both movies are Emmy Rossum movies. |
| Thunderbolt And Lightfoot (Pardon) | This movie is way better than “The Eiger Sanction”, and has the potential to work in a line-up that has a Nadine Velazquez movie. |
| I Like It Like That (Pardon) | The back-to-back evaluation format of “Desperado” and this movie won’t work in The Project, as the latter movie was 266 evaluations ago. However, it could be a movie that gets evaluated before either the evaluation, or a post-evaluation viewing of “Your Monster”. |
| Past Lives (Exemption) | Certain aspects of this movie need to be re-investigated. Plus, it’s yet another really well-shot A24 production. |
| The Meddler (Pardon) | This movie could outrank “That’s My Boy”, as both movies are Susan Sarandon movies. |
And finally, I had some time before my theatrical assessment of “Tron: Ares” began, so I quickly surfed the website of a former Etsy seller to see if he added any stock for both this past Tuesday and yesterday. And as it turned out, he did, although I don’t remember everything off-hand that he added. However, I did notice an uplifting movie about the Hispanic culture, entitled “Brownsville Bred” in his most recent stock. And of course, given my affinity for those types, which began well before I found out that I have Spanish ancestry, I’ve gone ahead and added that movie to the roster.
Well, the pursuit of the next movie to immediately grant an overall guaranteed Flickuum spot to, following the successful assessment of “The Smashing Machine”, remains ongoing. But that experience hasn’t been a total bust, as both “Tron: Ares” and “Flamin’ Hot” have been granted HCC designations, while “Men” could redeem itself via its re-assessment. And given that I’ll have a bit of a foreseeable runway in finding more overall guaranteed Flickuum movies, there’s a good chance that this post-Mark Kerr biopic drought will come to an end.
Until the next time.
