Welcome to (the re-installed) Sneak Leaks, the page in which we leak information (via blog form) about movies that could potentially join the current movie assessment/re-assessment roster.
So, with that being said, he is blogging about the rising Flickuum stock of Emma Mackey.
You can see the entry below.

“Flickasbord, Volume 228”
Ever since last week’s bizarrely scheduled consolidation domination Nog Report, progress in amassing completed assessments/re-assessments has been wildly inconsistent, as A] It took me two days to finish the fourth re-assessment of “My Giant”, B] I broke up my assessment of “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack Of The Clones” into two sessions, C] Last week’s theatrical outing of “Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come” resulted in it getting an HCC designation in Tier 7, D] I assessed/re-assessed six movies this most recent Saturday, and two thirds of them are in elimination protocols, E] That kaleidoscope style sex scene in “All I See Is You” is yet another example of having Blake Lively ramrodded upon us, F] Certain aspects of “Corporate Animals” were just so damn irritating that I asked myself, “Why the hell did I re-assess this movie for both a second time and third time this year?”, and G] I amassed another moratorium movie via “They Will Kill You”. Yes, the win rate since last Friday wasn’t what I wanted it to be, but I’m coming into this entry on a somewhat high note, along with amassing a crop of new assessments and four potentially promising retreads.
Let’s begin.
First up, this weekend is the Final Four, so it’s only fitting that I come up with a final four of pardoned movies, hence the four potentially promising retreads. And as to what those four movies are, well they are 1] Why Do Fools Fall In Love, due to my liberal treatment of music biopics, 2] Showgirls, because I’d like to see one of Elizabeth Berkley’s anti-Jessie Spano characters at least one more time, 3] Like A Boss, because it could outrank both of Salma Hayek’s “Bodyguard” movies and 4] Bent, due to the presence of Grace Byers. Yes, each of those movies has at least one thing that irritates me, but the potential could far outweigh that irritation each time, thus four more movies could redeem themselves like “The Flash” did a little over two weeks ago. Stay tuned.
Next up, the 1,492nd Flickuum evaluation featured Emily Wickersham via the movie “Glitch”, which I thought would outrank my other evaluated movie of hers in “I Am Number Four” a.k.a evaluation 1,288. But the former movie felt neck-and-neck with “Love And Hostages” a.k.a. evaluation 1,454, and after the eventual evaluation of “Remember Me” and the likely evaluation of “Gone”, it appears that she won’t have any more movies left for me to evaluate at all. Or so I thought, as I noticed a movie, entitled “How I Got Lost”, pop up in the iTunes version of her filmography when I went there to find the runtime of the aforementioned 1,492nd enshrined Flickuum movie. And not only did that movie pop up via that app because in addition, it had her high up on the call sheet, thus I added it to the roster. Now let’s see if that unintentional result materializes into yet another Flickuum addition.
It’s rare that an actor or actress amasses a perfect track record for The Project yet Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has managed to do just that with four enshrined Flickuum movies, a Tier 2 movie (The Greatest Showman) that doesn’t have a designated wait time, two movies that are currently competing March Madness style and a Tier 5 movie that ended up being my last theatrical outing of 2023. Yes, a grand total of eight Flickuum movies for him and it could be nine if “Candyman” passes its assessment. But why stop there, as he is way too cool to not have double-digit Flickuum movies, thus both “The Vanishing Of Sidney Hall” and “Sweetness In The Belly” have been added to the roster. Now let’s see if he can make it a perfect 11-for-11 in amassing Flickuum movies.
About six months ago when I was looking for a “post-The World Made Straight” movie for Steve Earle, I noticed another movie, entitled “Leaves Of Grass”, in his filmography yet overlooked it, simply because it was “pre-The World Made Straight”. But after seeing the names of the other people involved and liking the look of the movie poster, I wrote the title down on my reminders for this entry, followed by adding it to the roster. Now let’s see if this movie can grow into yet another Flickuum one.
So many actresses are a breath of fresh air, compared to Elaine Lively’s brat of a daughter, and I can name about 100 of them off the top of my head. Among them is Emma Mackey, whom is trending upwards via my decision to re-assess “Emily” later this month. And because she is trending upwards, I’ve decided to add her two “envelope-pushing” movies in “Eiffel” and “Hot Milk” to the roster. Now let’s see if she can turn two Flickuum movies into six, as “Ella McCay” still remains assessment-pending.
2023 and newer movies being mentioned in a Flickasbord entry remains a regularity, as trailers and iTunes yielded me nine more such movies. And as to what those nine such movies are, well you can find out via the typical chart format:
| 2023 (Or Newer) Movie | Why it has been added to the roster |
| Obsession | Seeing the extended trailer of it gave off “Keep Watching” vibes. And that’s a good thing, as that movie is a Tier 5 movie and this one could outrank it. |
| Wild Horse Nine | Period piece CIA movie, co-starring Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich? Sign me up! |
| Corporate Retreat | This is the second movie with “Corporate” in its title. But given my theatrical luck with new movies since March 4 of last year, I feel that this one will be a major step up from “Corporate Animals”. |
| Desert Warrior | Based on this movie’s trailer, I thought it was for the yet to be released “Hannibal Barca” movie. But I saw a completely different title pop up on the screen, thus I resigned myself to the fact that it wasn’t for that yet to be released movie. Regardless, the trailer was entertaining throughout, thus it’ll be going in place of “Michael” during the April leg of the 2026 theatrical tour. |
| Kill Me | Allison Williams is a perfect 7-for-7 in amassing Flickuum movies. And given that this one could outrank “Regretting You”, she’s going to make it 8-for-8. |
| Magellan | Given that this entry mentions 1492, albeit of a different kind, it’s only fitting to include a biopic about another famous world explorer. |
| The Long Shot | Chronologically, Adrianne Palicki’s last Flickuum movie is currently “S.W.A.T.: Under Siege”. And while nothing else of hers will high-point over “John Wick”, she needs something more positive coming after the 1,197th evaluation, thus this one has been added to the roster. |
| Queens Of The Dead | Katy O’Brian has been a powerhouse since mid-March 2024 via “Love Lies Bleeding”, and that has translated into four additional Flickuum movies for her. And given that this movie is a zany bonkers horror-comedy, it could be a fifth additional “post-Love Lies Bleeding” success for her. |
| One Spoon Of Chocolate | This is the second Rza-directed movie, in which Shameik Moore is number one on the call sheet. But hopefully this one makes The Project, as I did not like “Cut Throat City”. |
Netflix-released movies have been generally successful in making The Project, as “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” was 101 (soon to be 102) evaluations ago, and “The Rip” is making me re-think what Ben Affleck’s top Flickuum movie should be. Of course, more such movies were up for assessment/re-assessment before this entry was written and now you can add “War Machine” to that equation, as Alan Ritchson battling a giant two-legged robot looks entertaining as all out. I think I might assess that one either this afternoon or tomorrow afternoon.
Other than “At Midnight”, Monica Barbaro has been dependable in putting forth Flickuum movies, as the other five movies of hers that I have assessed/re-assessed are each well-positioned in making The Project. And like most actresses that are not named Blake Lively, she’s yet another breath of fresh air, to the point that there’s no such thing as too much of her in The Project. So, with that being said, I found another movie of hers to assess, with it being “The Cathedral” this time around. Of course, she’s not undefeated in movies of hers making The Project like Allison Williams and Sasha Calle have been, but I’m willing to bet that the actress, whom portrayed Joan Baez, will amass number six with this one.
And finally, surfing iTunes back in late-January amassed “Twisted” to the roster, only for me to completely overlook the fact that Lauren LaVera is in that movie. But she did stand out to me nonetheless, so I surfed her iTunes filmography and noticed that she appeared in the second and third installments of the “Terrifier” franchise. So, given that and the fact that Art The Clown needs to be a part of Flickuum lore, all three installments have been added to the roster. Now I got three perfectly legitimate excuses to clown around.
Well, things have been slow on the moratorium front, as mentioned in the first paragraph. But given what could come in bunches between now and this coming Thursday night, dual occupancy in Tiers 7 and 14 could come at a clip similar to February 2026. So, with that being said, it’s time to stop being overly reliant on pick-and-choosing and just pin my ears back yet again.
Until the next time.
