Hello All. I know it has been almost 4 months since I posted, but I'm back.🥳Unfortunately, after my favorite Holiday (👻Halloween👻). 🥲I couldn't even post my Halloween stuffs.😔 I'll just have to make up for it another year! Anyway, let's get right to it, shall we? Today, I've got Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Day on the brain--with a little dash of Christmas (we will get to that in a moment). I'm an American so, of course, we are all used to Thanksgiving here, but I think it is strange to celebrate Thanksgiving without remembering that Native Americans were the reason that we should have been thankful in the first place. For their sacrifices, their humble nature, and their willingness to teach the very people who would one day bring about much of their ruin. Of course, we should also celebrate their survival and their innovative minds that furthered America as we know it today. I mean, could one imagine modern day America without rubber, suspension bridges? Without corn? I think not. Considering that I have Blackfoot (my grand parents on my father's side of the family) and Cherokee (great grand parents on my mother's side) Native blood coursing through my veins, I feel like my lack of thanks for their roles in my freedom and life today is shameful. I realized that America has a way of continuing to drown out those aspects of my culture and identity just as much as these as a Black person. My Black heritage, however, has very little to offer me besides my parents, and three out of four grandparents. I cannot pinpoint the tribes that gave me the other part of my blood and unfortunately, all of my grandparents and greats passed young. This isn't an uncommon occurrence for Black families in America, but it makes me all the more grateful for knowing a single thing about the rest of my familial line. Still, thinking about this both frustrates and humbles me. To such a point that I have started to incorporate more of this history into my life. But it was also in this time that I was making peace with my inner storms and the like this month that something else happened. Christmas bells, chestnuts roasting on open fires, Mirah Carrey's "All I Want for Christmas" (which is apparently getting its own animated film), and Santa Claus began making their appearance before November turkey and Native dances. Can't we have feathers before ornaments around here? The stuff is everywhere you turn. In the stores, flooding social media..what an endless cycle before its time. And all of this after I have hardly processed the end of Halloween chocolates, scary movies, and hocus pocus decorations😩. The audacity of Christmas . I mean, C'mon . On the bright side, this is the only time of the year that the amount of hot chocolate I drink on a regular basis isn't scrutinized. In summer people think I'm nuts. October through November? Everyone's just riding the wave. Haha. Still, let's all be a little mindful for the end of November, yeah?

Hello Again Everyone! The perfect solution for today's gloomy day just might be a much needed movie Monday . Don't cha think?I'm just going to assume you agree. Haha. So, lovelies, here's a list of some comedies that everyone should give a watch at least once in their lifetime. Even better if you are able to enjoy them over and over again just for a laugh. That said, it's possible that you might find yourself full of several additional emotions given a few of these suggestions. So, if you're looking for buckets of fun, here's a list of comedies for all Adm Fam and visitors with a taste for the eccentric. Pootie Tang (2001). If you don't recognize this film then clearly your mom or dad never let you sit in front of the television with a bowl of cereal to watch a movie about the power of a belt on repeat and it shows. Haha. Lance Crouther and his braided ponytail gave my siblings and I quite a few laughs and I found myself chuckling just the other night as scenes from this movie crossed my mind. Undercover Brother (2002). A similar comedic ride to Pootie Tang in my mind, also watched on repeat, this one was a different but very ethnic choice for my family. With many playful jabs at an exaggerated Black American experience it is worth the watch. I loved their outfits and the platform shoes from the very first time I saw it. Besides, no matter how weird it got, everyone should recognize comedy gold when Eddie Griffin, Dave Chappelle and Neil Patrick Harris star in the same film. Murder Mystery 1 & 2 (2019/2023). When I first readied myself to watch the first film, and knowing the controversy surrounding Jennifer Anniston and Adam Sandler, I was a bit weary of what it would be like. Especially as I have never found Jen A to be partcularly funny on her own. A pleasant surprise, although not without its symbolism, awaited me. The two of them played off of each other well even if their role as a couple lacked much chemistry. All in all, film one and two, are worthy of being on the list. Since we are mentioning Sandler, who generally does quirky comedy well, Happy Gilmore (1996) and Click (2006) should probably get a mention too. Guns Akimbo (2020). I liked how unhinged this movie was for no reason, and it was nice to see Daniel Radcliffe bring a character with guns for hands to life and definitely a change from the last time he put a proper smile on my face since his villain role in Now You See Me 2 (2016, part of a film series if you've never seen it). Shaun of the Dead (2004). A zombie movie that hits all the right buttons and remains totally unforgettable throughout the passing of time much like Dead Snow from 2009. No eccentric comedy list can ever by complete without mentioning Simon Pegg. He's not just a distinctive actor in weirdly enjoyable actors but in comedy overall. Run Fatboy Run (2007) and Hot Fuzz (2007) also starring Simon Pegg should automatically get a rewatch just to bask in Pegg's light all over again for old time's sake. Defendor (2009). Woody Harrelson is no stranger to the screen, but it is something particularly funny about him playing a man who wants to be a superhero without super powers and no particular set of skills to do it. It's too bad he wasn't part of the Kick Ass film franchise. Free Guy (2021). Yet another actor that just can't be left off the list. It was a whacky movie but oh so fun. Ryan Reynolds playing an NPC irradicating his own reality? Need I say more? Actually, yes I do. Just go watch a bunch of Ryan and you'll find some joy. How nice is it that this guy is in the business? *On a side note, I really really need Ryan Reynolds and Simon Pegg to star in the same action comedy just ONE time! I could almost swear it would heal like half my life's trauma all at once. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). It's an injustice to call this one just another comedy. It is a true experience with all the bits that make art beautiful. Let's keep an air of mystery here. It'll probably be a keeper for you too. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). A low budget film but an absolutely priceless Brittish comedy that can hardly be summed up. King Arthur (loosely) on a drunk spiral to unknown depths? Haha. My old high school teacher Mr. Koric gets all the credit for introducing this one to me over a decade ago. Some movies aren't made to be forgotten.

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!
