In addition to the third Foodie Call entry, there’s a 211 happening, as in the 211th Flickasbord entry. And given all the assignments coming my way after today’s Nog Report, what better day than today to publish this entry?
Let’s begin.
First up, back in the early 2010s, I noticed the movie “The Last Station” being visible on the front page of VideoETA (now defunct) multiple times and that movie jumped out at me, due to me just getting started in learning about James McAvoy’s career at that particular juncture. Plus, I keep guessing Tolstoy when Russian literature comes up (it did again last night) in Jeopardy!, and I know that movie is about that author, thus that particular episode (along with my somewhat recent evaluation of The Exception) finally made me re-remember it to the point that it’s now on the assessment/re-assessment roster. Now let’s see if all the rhubarb about that long stretch of forgetfulness is worth it or not.
Next up, a movie that I was planning to blog about last week, only for IMDB’s constant lagging preventing me from getting specific information, makes the cut this week, as I found out that the sequel to “Ready Or Not” comes out on April 10 of next year. And not only does it make the cut for this entry, because in addition, it makes the roster, due to the first installment being an overall guaranteed Flickuum movie since late-March 2021. Now I just need to wait for three-plus months in planning logistics for when to see “Here I Come” a.k.a. the sequel’s subtitle theatrically.
When it comes to big-name movies, well I’ve hunted down quite a few of them yet there are more that I still haven’t seen, such as both Steve Martin-led “Father Of The Bride” movies. But this paragraph isn’t about those movies yet they will likely be subject to Volume 212. Instead, it’s about both “Zoolander” movies, as my younger biological sister is surprised that I still haven’t seen the first one, let alone the second one. But since Ariana Grande has an uncredited cameo in the second one, as well as Ben Stiller-Owen Wilson collaborations being a Flickuum staple, I’ve finally decided to make both installments the latest additions to my big-name movie hunting list, which unofficially started when I finally decided to assess “John Wick”. Now let’s see if both “Zoolander” movies follow evaluation 1,429 into The Project.
For nearly the past two months, I feel like I’ve raised my ability in getting assignments completed to a whole new level to the point that it’s not outlandish for anyone (myself included) to say that I’ve been on a constant heater. And speaking of heaters, well this paragraph is about an actor, whose last name is pronounced that way (singularly) yet spelt differently, as I’ve added two Jon Heder two movies to the roster, since I’ve used movies of his to counter either Tiffani-Amber Thiessen or Nadine Velazquez multiple times. And as to what those two movies are, well they are “Mama’s Boy” and “Ghost Team”, due to them being perfect counters for both my rapidly approaching re-assessment of “A Day In The Life” and my Sunday night fun viewing of “Blood And Wine”. Now let’s see if these two Heders end up being Flickuum home runs or not.
Every time that I’ve seen an SNL Celebrity Jeopardy! skit, I can’t help but notice the exasperation of Will Ferrell breaking down a specific category in the most basic way possible. So, with that being said, his portrayal of the late Alex Trebek comes to mind when I think of Cuban-American actresses named Natalie and their last names starting with the letter “M”. Yes, I can make a game show category of both such Natalies (Martinez, Morales), as there are a ton of movies to choose from between the two. Of course, the former has a double-digit amount (12) of Flickuum movies, but the latter is on the verge (9) of double-digits as well, with “Happily” already being on the roster. And even if that movie passes its assessment, her total could possibly extend, as “Language Lessons” has also been added to the roster. Now let’s see if (more like when) the latter Natalie joins the double-digit Flickuum movie club.
In nearly eight weeks, I’ve amassed three Jennifer Lopez Flickuum movies, as Jenny From The Block has been resurgent in 2025. And given the marathon of assessments/re-assessments that will soon commence, another one of her movies has been added to the roster, with it being her collaboration with Viola Davis, entitled “Lila & Eve”. And given that an actress that I have found to be sexy (since I was 12 years old) is in a John Wick-esque movie, I expect that resurgence to continue.
Throughout the 100-plus year history of movies, there have been movies completely unrelated to one another sharing the same exact title, i.e. “Love Lies Bleeding”, with the Jenna Dewan version being released in 2008 and the more well-known Kristen Stewart version being released in 2024. But it’s rare for two movies with the same exact title being released in the same exact calendar year, yet such a thing happened in 2022 with the title “Beast”. Of course, I’ve already assessed the Idris Elba “Beast” movie, which actually ended up being the movie that was successfully assessed before the full-on assessment of “Saved By The Bell: Wedding In Las Vegas” occurred in early-October of that same year. But I never saw the Nelson Dilipkumar-directed movie of the same name, but I’ve since added it to the roster just so that I can eventually say that I saw both such movies. And should that movie pass its assessment, then I’ll have to use some kind of denotation for everyone (myself included) to tell both 2022 movies apart. Oh yeah, and since we’re on the subject of “Beast”, the 2017 movie of the same name (starring Jessie Buckley) has also been added to the roster.
And finally, “The Blackening” and “Weapons” join forces in a unique way, as a cast member from each movie (Jermaine Fowler appeared in the former, Justin Long appeared in the latter) will appear in a movie slated for a wide United States release on January 16 of next year, with that movie being “Night Patrol”. And given what I saw of that trailer during the wee hours of today, it’s going to make the 2026 tour without question. As a matter of fact, I might go see it in the theater where I saw the other two movies mentioned in this paragraph.
Well, unlike six days ago, successful assessments/re-assessments have come in bunches, as A] Prime has yielded me successful assessments of “The Bear” and “Bordertown”, B] My latest theatrical outing of “Five Nights At Freddy’s 2” extended my theatrical winning streak to 57, and C] A somewhat expedited fourth re-assessment of “Your Sister’s Sister” actually ended up being the re-assessment that finally punched a Tier 5 ticket for the 2012 movie. Plus, the Keke Palmer movie “Pimp” will be in my possession before the calendar turns to 2026, and “Los Frikis” passed its physical media test two nights ago. And given all the expectations between now and midnight Saturday, the success in bunches will continue.
Until the next time.
