Hello Again!

Today, I thought to share a short list of movies currently occupying my TBW (to be watched list). What movies are you looking forward to settling down on the couch for going into the next year? Here's the top six films on my brain today.

Get Away (2024). A Nick Frost horror comedy. You may recognize this name/actor from his roles beside Simon Pegg. He also starred in the television show Truthseekers, which you might know as one of my previous recommendations here on ADMCreations. This time, Frost co-wrote the film and stars in it. He plays the role a husband on a family vacation turned upside down by a weird town and a serial killer.

I have no idea if it will be a hit, but I at least expect a few surprises and laughs.

Mufasa: The Lion King (2024). Does anyone else remember how interesting it was for the remake of The Lion King to feature realistic animals back in 2019? Well, I do and I thought it was pretty neat. That said, it looks like all the hype paid off because a sequel has been made. This one, obvious given the title, highlighting the story of Simba's father, his adoption into a royal bloodline and journey to be King.

Gladiator II (2024). The second installment to Gladiator (2000), it's hard to believe that it's been twenty-four years of waiting to see if anything else was on its way. I wonder how the second film will play out as we travel back to the Roman era. If nothing else, we can ezpect a good character death, right?

Freakier Friday (2025). Here's another Disney film of a different variety. If you grew up in the 90s, there's no way that you haven't watched the initial film Freaky Friday (2003). Did you know that Lindsay Lohan's character was originally supposed to be a hard-rock, goth character? Maybe Lohan knew what she was doing back thenm wanting to change those elements so it was more relatable. I still can't imagine that original role for her. Anyway, now she and co-star Jamie Lee Curtis are returning for a round two. It's hard to imagine what kind of trouble they will get into after twenty-one years. Anyone else noticing a torturous trend with movie sequels lately? If it's a trap for all of us who grew up with these movies then maybe we should resign ourselves to our fates just through 2025. Haha.

Now You See Me 3 (2025). Another sequel and one of the most anticipated movies on my list. I enjoy the character dynamic, the play on a sleight of hand, and the creative graphics from this film series very much. They probably thought that we've forgotten all about them__Had you fallen prey to their illusions? If so, no worries. I'm reminding you to look out for the third installment going into the next year! I just wish we didn't have to wait until next Novemeber to see it.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025). The other movie I'm most looking forward to watching right now. If we're close, you'd know that I love any reason to turn off all the lights on a regular basis, but it's so much better when it's for a good horror movie. And considering the previous films, I'm truly hoping for this one to step it up and give us something worth goosebumps. Even more given that the real couple whose investigations the moives were based on have now both passed away, it's my hope that this next filml does them justice and turns out better than the last, which I was a bit disappointed by.

If you're interested in any of the movies from this list, maybe you should refresh your mind with a re-watch of any series so you're not stuck staring confusedly at your screens, missing all the good details and mess up your experience.. It's just a friendly suggestion, and hey, considering that there's a wait for half the list you've got plenty of time.

That's all from me folks! Thanks for reading!
