In A Pinch

Steve Kaycee has been on a tear (especially in 2023, 2024 and 2025) with writing multiple blog entries in a single week and doing so for multiple weeks.

However, he has grown tired of constantly converting fairly new blog entries into non-menu website pages, as he feels that A] Doing so doesn’t give such blog entries the proper exposure that they deserve and B] The constant impromptu pre-writes take their toll on him more and more.

But luckily, the impromptu pre-writes have (and will continue) to dwindle, as will the early non-menu website page conversions. And of course, with the latter being said, this page comes into play once again, as Steve Kaycee has a blog entry that he started and finished on April 25, with it being six more additions to the assessment/re-assessment roster, following his second re-assessment of “Coriolanus”.

You can see it below.

“Flickasbord, Volume 162”

Well, I’ve reached another career milestone, as today marks the 162nd Flickasbord entry, which is the equivalent of an entire Major League Baseball season. And given that finding Project movies is as difficult as an MLB player trying to consistently hit for both average and power, it’s really fitting to reach this milestone. And given the constant futility between volume 161 and this entry, help is on the way via six new additions to the roster.

Let’s begin.

First up, I noticed a movie with some very cool DVD cover art when I was Plex-surfing recently. And as to what that movie was, well it was “Kaw”, which has a cool premise about a town being under attack by a flock of ravens. So, given both of those things, especially the latter being about ravens (I’m a Baltimore Ravens fan), I have gone ahead and added that movie to the roster.

Next up, New Line Cinema dives into the horror genre for the third time in 2025, as 3C Films reported on the upcoming release of “Weapons”, which features Benedict Wong. And given that I feel that he needs more opportunities in The Project, based on his talent, that movie has been added to the roster and it could be a theatrical outing in August 2025, as I only have two other such outings planned for that month. However, I could also wait for it to come to streaming, as that was the route that I chose for “Heart Eyes” the second horror movie that New Line Cinema released this year. Stay tuned.

Ever have a movie jump out at you yet you don’t know exactly where/how you noticed it? Well, that’s the case with “The Sky Is Pink”, which drew me in via a gorgeous East Indian actress. And of course, that assumption was correct, as that movie stars Priyanka Chopra (the gorgeous East Indian actress) and has a vibe that is similar to another 2019 movie in “Five Feet Apart”, the latter of which will be evaluated in late-June 2025. So, because of both of those aspects, I have added that movie to the roster to see if it can be the second Hindi language movie to make The Project, following “Kill” last year.

About nine months ago, Bianca A. Santos had the misfortune of having one of her subpar movies in “Stronghold” get re-assessed not too long after the successful re-assessment of “Two Times You”, the latter of which featured/features Flickuum fixture Melissa Barrera. However, that misfortune won’t deter me from assessing other movies of hers, as I like the dynamic of a movie of hers being in a movie-watching window that has both the latter actress and Nadine Velazquez, thus I have added “Invitation To A Murder” to the roster. But unlike “Stronghold” last year, I’ll assess that movie before both the assessment of “Sacudete Las Penas” and the re-assessment of “A Day In The Life”.

Not too long after hearing about the passing of Pope Francis, the movie “Conclave” reached nearly seven million minutes worth of screen time per multiple reports, which I guess shows the impact that the late Argentinian had on this world. Of course, I’m not one to jump onto trends, but given that I need a good Ralph Fiennes movie after the disappointment that was “Coriolanus”, along with the fact that I re-added another John Lithgow religion-themed move in “Cabrini” to the roster, I decided to add this 2025 Oscar nominated movie to the roster. Now let’s see if some of that eventual additional screen time for that movie translates into another overall guaranteed Flickuum movie.

And finally, a little over six years ago, one of my roommates told me that the Cate Blanchett-led movie “Elizabeth” is way better than “Shakespeare In Love”, the latter of which I re-assessed in August 2021. Of course, I kept forgetting about that movie, especially since this Project is both Velazquez-dominant and Barrera-dominant. But after constantly seeing ads for the movie “Black Bag” whenever I watch something for free on Vudu, that mention of the aforementioned “Elizabeth” got back into my memory bank, therefore it will be assessed before time runs out for movies 2022 and older on June 11, 2027.

Well, not too long after I wrote a bulk of this entry, I amassed two new overall guaranteed Flickuum movies in “The Legend Of Ochi” and “Good Burger 2”, the latter of which came together for me during my second re-assessment of it. Yes, it was only a matter of time, because there is no way that 1,284 (including The Legend Of Ochi and Good Burger 2) roster movies were/are all going to completely fail. And given how much quality remains on the roster, there’s a chance that there will be 50 movies with 40F designations within a week.

Until the next time.
