Given the strong unlikelihood of getting from 1,057 completed Flickuum evaluations to 1,070 completed Flickuum evaluations between now and when I wake up this coming Monday, I’ve decided to finally to write volume 70 since I had some material floating around in my mind for a little while now. So, with that being said, let’s begin.
First up, on the heels of me evaluating “Coming 2 America” yesterday afternoon, I began to contemplate assessing “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F”, as A) I’m a fan of the entire Beverly Hills Cop franchise and B) I think the fourth Axel Foley movie could outrank the movie that became my 1,057th completed Flickuum evaluation. And sure enough, that contemplation will be a confirmation this coming July 3, as that fourth installment will be released on that day via Netflix, thus another movie that could make The Project before the New Year’s Day 2026 deadline.
As a reviewer of movies, I feel like that I always run out of “big name” movies to assess since I always struggle to think of any unseen ones off the top of my head. But after discovering in an episode of “Jeopardy!” last week that the Paul Newman movie “Slap Shot” was the answer to a clue, the memory of someone recommending that movie to me came back, thus I have decided to add it my roster of assessments/re-assessments, especially since it was filmed in a city that is forever tied to my family history. Now let’s see if the Paul Newman-led movie can get slapped into The Flickuum net.
Had I not decided to deviate from my 1,057 to 1,070 plan, I would have ended my long drought of evaluating a Bruce Willis movie, as a part of that plan was to evaluate “Acts Of Violence” for 1,058. But fatigue had other plans for me, thus it’s unknown when that movie will be evaluated. And while I honestly wish that I could be at 1,060 right now, the fact that I had that Bruce Willis movie on deck made me re-remember the fact that The Smeghead cited the convoluted nature of the movie “Color Of Night”, with that nature consisting of alternate versions and alternate endings, thus making me confused about what version is the through-and-through original one. So, given all of that confusion, I decided to add the 1994 movie to the Movies That Mega Tat Refuses To See page.
And finally, my Flickuum total of five Camilla Belle movies could all be enshrined come sometime this month, as “From Prada To Nada” is the only such movie of hers that I haven’t evaluated and I plan to evaluate it right after “Desperado”. However, I’m not ready to possibly end that era that quickly, thus I have decided to add two more movies of hers in “When A Stranger Calls” and “The Ballad Of Jack And Rose” to the current roster of assessments/re-assessments since one of those movies or both of them could be what extends that particular era. Plus, it would be really cool for one of her movies to battle movies that have Nadine Velazquez, Melissa Barrera, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Marisa Abela and Eiza Gonzalez March Madness style.
Well, let’s see how far that I can get in resuming Flickuum evaluations because I want that 1,100 milestone four weeks from tonight and I will figure out some sort of way to achieve that goal. It’s just a matter of line-up flow.
Stay tuned.
