Broken vow(s) isn’t just the name of a movie, as it’s also a totally apropos way of me violating my self-imposed vow of one blog entry per week. But when the ideas keep raging on in my mind, I much rather put them to paper instead of letting them linger to the point of possibly being forgotten.
Let’s begin.
First up, in Tier 9 of the Land Of Infusion page, I have specific movies with asterisks next to their names, with that symbol serving as a way to denote movies that I want to assess yet they do not have confirmed release dates. Among them are the Mike Colter-led movie “Ship”, the upcoming Guy Ritchie movie “In The Grey”, Melissa Barrera’s presumptive 13th Flickuum movie “The Collaboration” and the Justin Baldoni-produced movie “Code 3”. And of course, with all of that being said, the latter of those four movies is now confirmed as accessible to assess, as it will be released theatrically two days from now and in a theater that I go to on a regular basis. So yeah, an asterisk has finally been removed, thus that movie has been added to both the assessment/re-assessment roster and my 2025 theatrical tour.
In Volume 185 of this series, I hinted at the eventuality of “Purple Rain” being added to the roster since it’s as deserving of an assessment as “8 Mile” getting a second re-assessment. So yeah, I guess I can thank Eminem, and me wanting to relive the nostalgia of assessing/re-assessing the latter movie as the first building block of this entry.
I thought that I was done with pardons and exemptions after the posting of Volume 185. But after the latest wave of progress in The Flickuum Project, as well as other factors, 17 more movies each get one last chance to join the group of 2,461 overall guaranteed Flickuum movies. And since it’s a group of pardons/exemptions, they will all be presented in the typical chart format. Check it out below:
| Movie | Why it has been pardoned or exempted |
| Airheads | On the basis of Adam Sandler movies, is “That’s My Boy” that much better than this movie? |
| Waiting For Guffman | If “A Mighty Wind” can be re-assessed, then this movie should be as well. |
| White Girl | The versatility of Adrian Martinez makes this movie worthy of a re-assessment. |
| Changing Lanes | This movie could outrank “Boiler Room”, but the ending needs to be re-investigated, in order for that possibility to happen. |
| Born In East L.A. | This movie can work well with either anything Saved By The Bell related or “The Bounce Back”. |
| Catch .44 | The road trip aspect of this movie makes it worthy of a re-assessment. |
| Doom | The aspect about the dogs in the lab needs to be re-investigated. |
| Mad Dog And Glory | Uma Thurman is a smoke show in this movie. |
| Ransom | The recency of the evaluation for “The Man Without A Face” is why this movie has been pardoned, as both movies are Mel Gibson movies. |
| Cold Pursuit | The playing both sides aspect of this movie makes it somewhat similar to the 2007 movie “War”. |
| Pineapple Express | This movie got an unfair shake in its re-assessment. |
| Snake & Mongoose | The presence of Ashley Hinshaw makes this movie worthy of a re-assessment. |
| Held Up | This movie could outrank “Boiler Room”, as both movies are Nia Long movies. |
| Bros | Due to both “The Wedding Banquet” getting re-assessed, and the roster addition of another Justin Baldoni-produced movie, this movie deserves a re-assessment. |
| F Marry Kill | This movie has aspects that need to re-investigated. |
| The Gutter | This movie could be a jump-starter for The Project. |
| The Tiger Hunter | The presumably dead tiger wagging its tail during a musical number doesn’t come off as egregious. Plus, the ending needs to be re-investigated. |
Two movies, which have long slipped through the cracks, both finally get proper documentation, as both “My Girl” movies are those two movies. Honestly, I don’t know how those two movies got very overlooked for all this time, but that question mark is now a moot point, as both the song and/or the fact of Anna Chlumsky being known for both installments occasionally gave them staying in my memory bank, to the point that they will no longer be slipping through those cracks. Now let’s see if the aforementioned Anna Chlumsky brings her Flickuum total to five, as she is already on pace for three overall guaranteed Project movies.
Between the evaluations of “World Trade Center” and “Boiler Room”, Dane DeHaan has been featured in seven Flickuum completions, which is a very rapid clip for him. And given his knack for getting himself in quite a few Flickuum movies, I began to wonder which other movies did he appear in, thus I surfed his movie credits on iTunes and discovered the interesting title of “Two Lovers And A Bear”. This was then followed by me discovering that Tatiana Maslany was cast opposite of him, thus my wonderment leading to another reminder for this entry. Yes, it (this movie) has been added to the roster and could add to his total of 10 overall guaranteed Flickuum movies, as the plot also makes it worthy of an assessment. Stay tuned.
I like a lot of the work that Lake Bell has put forth, but I was extremely disappointed with “Man Up”, as I didn’t like her accent in that movie and the execution in that movie was poor. And while that movie was going to be an additional Flickuum movie for her at best, I kind of want some redemption after re-assessing it, thus I doubled up that bid for redemption via adding both “Ghost Of New Orleans” and “Black Rock” to the roster. And should both movies pass their assessments, well then she will have 13 overall guaranteed Flickuum movies.
And finally, the suspense is almost over for what the other Justin Baldoni-produced movie is, as the addition of “The Wedding Banquet” to my Paramount+ queue had the similar results feature right under that movie’s information. And with that being said, I think you know what movie that I’m alluding to; that’s right I’ve added “A Nice Indian Boy” to the roster, as I want Zarna Garg to have a chance at Flickuum lore. Plus, it could serve as yet another unlikely Flickuum jump-starter, as there is an increased demand for such movies. Stay tuned.
Well, after that weird mental fog that I was going through for nearly two full days, I got back to my Flickuum-completing ways, by first restoring “I Feel Pretty” as evaluation number 1,321 and subsequently getting three more evaluations completed after that one in nearly 17 hours. And while there haven’t been any occurrences of 50F designations upon successful assessment/re-assessment since this most recent Saturday afternoon, I feel that that will change shortly after this entry posts. It’s just a matter of what Flickuum related direction that I go in next.
Until the next time.
