I absolutely did not expect this movie to get a sequel. 😂

Now that #TikTok is gone in the U.S., hopefully BlueSky gets a bit more attention and actually pops off.

One can hope!

The Jimmy Butler situation with the #MiamiHeat reminds me of Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros.:

A great partnership until the end, which was ugly and quickly deteriorated, resulting in Nolan leaving and finally winning his Oscar.

Will Jimmy now leave Miami and win a championship?

A review of Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) Much better than the 2019 film, partly because there’s actual emotion we can see on these animals’ faces! A crazy concept, I know. 😂 But in all seriousness: Barry Jenkins helps elevate this movie a wh...

There’s no question #MufasaTheLionKing is head and shoulders above the 2019 film.

Yes! My season 7 review for #TheDragonPrince goes live on Monday at noon EST.

A ★½ review of The Substance (2024) Demi Moore gives a really good performance here! The story is definitely unique and a commentary on how vanity truly drives people insane. Looks ain’t everything! But outside of that, I don’t really g...

I know I’m in the minority on this one, but #TheSubstance was pretty awful.

Outside of a good Demi Moore performance, this story was a mess and the movie is overly long.

I don’t get the hype.

He should!

A ★★★★½ review of Flow (2024) I absolutely loved my time with "Flow," a gorgeous animated journey following one black cat who is trying to survive after a catastrophic flood. Along the way, this black cat learns what it means to c...

If you have the chance to watch #Flow, please give it your time because it’s spectacular!

A ★½ review of Emilia Pérez (2024) “Emilia Pérez” is truly a unique movie musical. I enjoy how some of the numbers are shot, and Zoe Saldaña delivers a good performance! I just…don’t think enough of the musical numbers hit for me. Ther...

#EmiliaPerez is a huge swing and miss, to me. I never got into a groove with the story and the musical numbers — while shot well — are a chore to get through.

Stinks that they wasted Zoe Saldaña in this one.

A ★★★★½ review of Conclave (2024) I loved “Conclave.” The tension was perfectly built from scene to scene, thanks to wonderful direction, a chilling score, great performances and an Oscar-worthy screenplay. I’ll be so happy if this mo...

I LOVED #Conclave!

This movie is fantastic and the tension is built perfectly.

It is 100% awards-worthy.

And it’s immediately in my Top 5 of the year!

#Moana2 smashed the #Thanksgiving Day #boxoffice record with massive $28M nearly DOUBLING previous all-time high of $15M by Frozen 2 in 2019! In fact, it saw the 8th biggest THU gross EVER! 2-day $85.5M start already bigger than entire 5-day opening of first #Moana!

100%

Happy Thanksgiving, Richard!

Really?! I’m surprised because this is at least a big enough title to warrant a ton of screenings. Or at least I assumed. 😆

I hope you all enjoy! I liked Encanto for sure, but Moana is much better, to me.

I never expected #Moana2 to have the same charm as the first, but I expected it to at least have charm.

The animation is gorgeous and Auliʻi Cravalho delivers a good performance!

But the story, music and editing fails this sequel.

Moana 2 really misses Lin-Manuel Miranda’s pen, too.

I’ve been waiting for a Conclave screener 😭

#Moana2

“Moana” remains my favorite Disney Animated Movie of the past decade, so let’s see if its sequel can produce some magic!

I’m thinking it’s their official account, but they forgot to label it’s for their Spanish-speaking audience.

Wild Robot! 🥲

I just got around to watching #DuneProphecy and…

Ep 1 didn’t grab me. Outside of the exposition dumps, there wasn’t a storyline that hooked me. They’re planting seeds of mystery with Desmond Hart, but everything else?

Eh..

I’ll give it a chance to see if next week is better.

Right?!

Woke up this morning to check the Netflix press site and --

Looks like they've updated the key art for Season 7!

Now, what could Aaravos be doing...? 👀

Soon, you say?! 👀

We’re ready, Justin!

A ★★★★ review of Gladiator II (2024) I enjoyed this movie more than I anticipated. After hearing about “Gladiator II” being in production, I groaned. Legacy sequels aren’t always my jam and I struggle to find reasons why studios/filmmake...

I groaned after learning about #GladiatorII. Legacy sequels aren’t always my jam.

In this case, it’s been 24 years.

But…

I have no idea how Ridley Scott kept me engaged in virtually every scene

I’m only here for Denzel Washington. 😂

You know, that makes me happy to hear you’re relieved I’m not over-the-moon excited after my screening. I’m nervous fans are gonna lambaste me in the comments because my opinion isn’t gonna be 🎶popular🎶
