Big Releases For October





So another thing that I would like to start doing for the blog is address some of the biggest releases of the month and whether or not I intend on seeing the movies . I will also mostly speak on my prediction of its box-office and critical reception. So this obviously is the first post and I will do these posts monthly. Considering it's October, It should come as no surprise that most of these movies are horror (which I am not a fan of).





The Exorcist: Believer- October 6

I'm pretty sure the first time I saw a trailer for this one was when I saw Oppenheimer with my dad and I've seen promos for this ever since. I have no desire to see this movie as demon possession is not my thing. I do however think that it will do very well in the box-office as it is a sequel to a film that is considered one of the greatest of all time in terms of the horror genre and movies as a whole. The return of Ellen Burstyn, who was in the original Exorcist, will also help with the movie's release. In terms of critical reception, It's probably gonna do good, but obviously critics will immediately compare it to the original. And there are very few times when a sequel or remake outshines the original (repeat: FEW times, not never. Top Gun: Maverick for example was AWESOME!).






 Pet Sematary: Bloodlines- October 6

I have never seen a trailer for this, which might be a bad sign, but I don't know for sure. I also have no desire to see this one for similar reasons with the last one. This one will probably do fine at the box-office, but mainly because as I mentioned earlier, it's October and people will probably want to see horror movies, that and it's a Stephen King movie. This is also part of notable horror franchise, but a prequel to a remake. And what differs this from Exorcist is that the Pet Sematary franchise has always had mixed reception. While the remake is more liked than the original, it's not by that much. So I can't really count this as a factor in the movie possibly succeeding in the box-office.




 Killers Of The Flower Moon- October 20

The first time I saw a trailer for this was when I saw Mission Impossible with my aunt. We both thought it looked pretty good, mainly because it's Martin Scorsese and Leo DiCaprio, which is from what I hear, normally a winning combination. I can only judge by one movie, which is The Departed. While I didn't love it, I understand why it is critically acclaimed and I do believe it is well deserved. Despite this, I'm not too sure I want to see the movie do the slightly political subject matter. That and one of the actresses is a narcissist. Box-office wise, it'll do good because it's DiCaprio and Scorsese. Just not amazing because Scorsese movies aren't known for that. The movie already has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, so critical reception won't be a problem. Again, it's DiCaprio and Scorsese.



So that's all the important releases in my opinion. There are probably more, but I don't really care cause it's October. Thanks For Reading. BYEEE!

First Day Of 2024/2025 Awards Race

  It is about that time of year again where Hollywood gives out its most prestigious awards to most of the time the least deserving. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pay attention like always. But this year we will be shaking things up a little. Allow me to explain; Here's How This Works: Each year, I will have a target subject I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for each award show are announced, I will do a small commentary on whether or not the subject has a chance of winning. However, this year instead of focusing on just the target, I will also be focusing on those I think are frontrunners in different categories for the season as a whole, whether I'm rooting for them or not.  I will most likely say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS. The Awards: We will be focusing on 5 awards; -The Golden Globes -The BAFTA's -The Critics Choice -The SAG Awards and Of Cour...

Red One & The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I present to you, a Christmas Double Review. Red One centers on The Rock and Captain America trying to find J.K. Simmons (Santa) after he's been kidnapped. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever  is obviously based on the book of the same name and of course involves throwing a Christmas pageant with some of the worst kids in existence.  Red One This was a very strange movie. I don't hate it as much as others do, but I see why people hate it. I will admit there were some parts that were a little too ridiculous and I didn't laugh as much as I would've liked. Also, with all due respect to Kiernan Shipka, she was not a good casting for the main villain. Her performance just didn't work for me. She wasn't intimidating at all, and she still looks like a child. I'm sorry but I just could not take her seriously. But I also feel it had some heartwarming moments as well, particularly involving Chris Evans' character and his son. I wouldn't say this movie was good, bu...
