Flickasbord, Volume 234

Given that today’s site news report will have a cluster of items in the bullet point format and via multiple paragraphs at that, I decided to write this entry as the lead item for the report, because who wants to see a site news report with that type of repetitive eye sore? Besides, there are three more movies that have slipped through the Land Of Infusion cracks, so might as well document them now.

Let’s begin.

First up, surfing the Pre-Order Now section of the Apple Store has brought forth another movie that stood out to me. And as to what that movie was, well it was “Olmo”, which is a Mexican-American period piece movie that has a Wonder Years coming of age vibe about it. So, given that, along with the fact that Mexican-themed movies have continuously injected life into The Flickuum Project, it has been added to the roster.

Next up, my weekend began with obsessively studying the camera technique of two specific scenes in “Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire” a.k.a. evaluation 1,577. And man, what a test of sanity that was. Anyways, this paragraph isn’t about that movie, as it’s instead about its director, Adam Wingard, and the two movies that I guess I have to see before his upcoming one, which is “Onslaught”. And as to what those two movies are, well they are “You’re Next” and “The Guest”. So, given that one of his movies is now in my rankings, a second one (Godzilla Vs. Kong) likely being enshrined sometime in between August 25 and December 26, and my high expectations for the aforementioned “Onslaught”, well he could have five overall guaranteed Flickuum movies before the calendar turns to 2027.

And finally, evaluating “Bennett’s War” three days ago, I thought to myself that Allison Paige (the lead actress of that movie) kind of looks like Alyson Hannigan, which somehow put “Date Movie” in my memory bank, followed by me thinking of the actress (Valery M. Ortiz) that played the parody version of Jennifer Lopez in that movie. All of that then made me realize that the latter of the three actresses does not have a Flickuum movie nor one up for assessment, thus I have added “From A Place Of Darkness”, due to her being the top-billed actress in that movie. Now let’s see if this Boricua beauty can finally get a Flickuum movie 20 years after the aforementioned “Date Movie” squandered its opportunity.

Well, this is the fourth Flicksbord entry that I have written in nearly a week and like those last three entries, this one lives up to bringing more infusion to a Project that is never short on it. So, with that being said, it’s just a matter of which movies in this continuous logjam can A] Follow in the overall guaranteed footsteps of both “Love, Simon” and “The End Of Oak Street”, and B] Join the special group of rankings that was just extended by “A Sunday Horse”.

Until the next time.
