  1. @Xillix and everyone High School Musical 4: Reunion is finished.
  2. Thinking Night School does $35M, due to lack of comedies outside of CRA, strong marketing and potential audience underestimation. Smallfoot, I think about the same as Clock as it plays to a more younger audience than Clock. If reviews stay at 70%, maybe $30M OW.
  3. @Xillix Move High School Musical 4: Reunion to June 26th, and Johnny Test to September 4th
  4. @Spagheditary @Blankments I have no fear. I’ll review Jonny Jonny The Movie.
  5. Food Wars Tagline: “This Thanksgiving, Get Stuffed” or “Fast Fools” Studio: Infinite Studios Will Packer Production HartBeat Productions Release Date: 11/20/Y4 Genre: Comedy Director: Malcolm D Lee Producer: Will Packer Rating: PG-13 Budget: $25M Theater Count: 3,483 Format: 2D Runtime: 101 minutes Cast: Kevin Hart as Ronald Barber John Cena as Charles Harding Ben Schwartz as Rex Richards II Zendaya as Susie Kenan Thompson as Herb Al Madrigal as Gary Leslie Mann as Alice Hannibal Buress as Joseph with Tika Sumpter as Honey Barber PLOT: Ronald Barber is the proud owner and manager of Kicking Chicken, a small local chicken restaurant in a small town in Florida. His crew consists of the deadpan and rather high school sophomore lazy cashier, Susie, his “a bit too mellow” cook Herb, and his second in command, Gary. Business is okay for them, not great but not bad. However, Kicking Chicken’s number one rival is Charlie’s Pizza, their more successful pizza counterpart, which happens to be right across the street. The owner and manager, Charles Harding has a personal beef with Ronald as the two are the only fast food game in town and the two constantly attempt to undermine each other’s success (flashbacks show an elaborate series of undermining played by both Charles and Ronald, Ronald points out Charles’s new item Crazy Sticks are the same mozzarella sticks one can find at the grocery store, Charles ruining Ronald’s attempts to purchase new equipment for his fast food place by buying it ahead of time even if he doesn’t need it). One day, after losing some very important business to a wealthy family thanks to both the incompetence of Susie (who’s laziness and Squidward esque attitude causes problems) and Herb (who may or may not have been high) along with sabotage via Charles, Ronald and Gary march up to Charlie’s Pizza to give Charles a piece of his mind. Charles’s cashier/girlfriend, Alice gives the two a humorously hard time until Charles steps out of the shadows to gloat. Feigning defeat, Ronald orders a slice of their best slice of pizza and throws it at Charles’s face which escalated into a food fight between Ronald and Gary versus Charles, Alice and the rest of Charles’s staff members causing customers to get hit in the crossfire. The police end up being called and Ronald and Charles are both given fines. Ronald goes home to his wife, Honey, who’s pregnant. It is revealed that the two are barely pushing by money wise but Homey believes Ronald has got what it takes to make sure they’ll be alright. The next day, on his way to work, Ronald sees a throng of people nearby his restaurant. Overjoyed, Ronald goes to see what it’s about only to realize that it’s not for him but the newly opened fast food mega chain Burger Bosses. Ronald goes inside to see what all the commotion is about, and meets the owner of the restaurant, Rex Richards III, a cocky and ruthless owner. Ronald introduces himself to Rex as a restaurant owner nearby and hopes that everything will work out for everyone and wishes him luck. Rex comments that competition is no problem for him as both the opponents will be gone in a month. Ronald runs back to the restaurant and tells Susie, Herb and Gary to step up their game as they have new competition. We then cut to a week long montage of the Kicking Chicken crew stepping up their A game; Susie is a little nicer to customers, Herb isn’t noticeably high and Gary and Ronald are working their best but despite that, they’re losing business. Rex comes every now and then to gloat but no one is dissuaded. One day, Ronald sees a frustrated Charles at Kicking Chicken who offers a proposition. Charles reveals his pizza joint is also being squashed by Burger Bosses saying the two of them should team up to take down Burger Bosses. Ronald agrees but notes he doesn’t trust him. The two proceed to pull a series of elaborate ways to sabotage but they ultimately backfire or help Burger Bosses. Back at Kicking Chicken, Ronald and Charles get into an argument of what to do next until a high Herb suggests they suggest they steal the secret recipe. Charles and Ronald laugh it off but consider it much to Gary’s refusal. Charles and Ronald manage to come up with a heist plan but need someone with criminal expertise. Ronald remembers he knows a friend who might be good at that type of stuff. Ronald’s old friend from the hood, Joseph, the seemingly harmless guy whose to Charles shock is a master thief and expert hacker. Joseph agrees to offer his advice and participation but for a fee of course which Charles and Ronald reluctantly agree on. Ronald tells his crew about the heist, but Gary refuses not wanting a part of this and quits ashamed at his friend from stooping that low. Herb and Susie agree though to be a part of it, the former for a raise and the latter for a college letter recommendation. Alice also agrees to be a part of the heist. Joseph says that the best time to start at night but tells Charles and Ronald to do some recon first, but reminds them to be stealthy. The two use Charles’s pizza van which is painted over to avoid suspicion. The two take shifts watching the restaurant to see what and where in going on. The two also bond during why they both enter the food business for love of food and their dreams. The two narrowly escape as the employees get ready to go home. Ronald reveals to the group that Rex is the first to leave at about 11:00 pm, and at precisely 11:30 pm, the last worker heads out the back. Ronald wants Susie to distract him, while the rest goes in the front where Joseph disarms the security system, as he, Charles, Joesph and Alice go inside. Alice will break the lock to the managers room behind the kitchen while Ronald downloads the recipe on a USB drive. Herb will act as the getaway driver if things goes south. Charles asks when do they strike, and Ronald says since today is Monday, the night should be at the slowest out of all the day so they strike tonight. The crew drives out to Burger Bosses and go through their plan. Susie distracts the teenage guard through very sloppy seduction. Joseph attempts to hack his way through as the security system will go off in about five minutes not giving them much time and he’ll be stuck here. As they slip and slide through the kitchen due to the greasy floors, Alice breaks the lock and Ronald attempts to navigate through the computer to find the recipe which is hard since a lot of images are on the computer. Ronald manages to download all of them due to time but the alarm goes off, forcing them to make a hasty get away. Susie manages to slip away pretending not to be apart of it, promising to call. The police are call as Herb, who’s high as shit is actually a great get away driver, due to his trip, making a crazy car chase throughout the town. However, although they manage to get away, the van is totaled due to Herb’s trip gone bad. The gang rendezvous back at Kicking Chicken, and use the computer after sifting through all types of data including some porn that was on there much to the disgust of everyone, they find the corporate burger patty recipe which the patty is revealed to be both dog and cat meat, much to the shock of everyone along with some other crimes Rex has done including money laundering and battery. Charles immediately says they shouldn’t use the recipe and Ronald says they should tell the world, saying they will leak it tomorrow. The next day, Ronald wakes up to see Honey tell him someone is at the door for him, and it is revealed to be Rex. Rex wants to talk to Ronald in private, revealing he know what he’s done, stating that he’s hidden cameras in the managers room and Greg tipped him off. Rex offers him a proposition in order for his silence, Rex says he’ll let the whole Kicking Chicken crew, Alice and Joseph, a pass as well as a sizable loan to acquire Kicking Chicken and giving Ronald an enormous promotion but Charles would take the fall as he already did call the police. Ronald refuses but Rex says that Ronald has a child on the way and no child should have a dad behind bars. Rex also said he’s had a worker in disguise for him revealing that Charles was going to betray him. With no other options, Ronald agrees to his terms and Charles is arrested, who reveals that although he was at first, they became friends so he wouldn’t do that. Despite their problems being over, Ronald fells immensely guilty for what he’s done, and comes clean to Honey, who understands but whips her belt at him. Honey tells him to come clean but Ronald is unsure they’ll go far with that until Greg comes to apologize for his betrayal which Ronald accepts as Greg was trying to look out for him. Greg then asks Ronald when he did the heist did he save the files, saying they might still be on the computer. Honey also reveals she taped the conversation as well. The three then rush to the restaurant before Rex comes in the morning, retrieve the files and send it to the police as well as the internet. Charles is freed from prison although he and Ronald along with their workers and accomplices are under 1000 hours of community service for all parties involved, Rex winds up in jail for his crimes, Burger Bosses faces a huge lawsuit and the restaurant in town is shutdown. Ronald and Charles reunite their rivalry albeit on more friendly terms, with Charles forgiving Ronald not before starting a massive food fight in his restaurant.
  6. Dropping a Kevin Hart/John Cera filler today.
  7. From LAT: Hart and Haddish’s PG-13-rated “Night School” and Warner Bros.’ snowy animated film “Smallfoot” are both expected to gross a solid $25 million to $30 million in ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada from Friday through Sunday, according to industry projections.
  8. Wait a minute just read you can’t pick your own films, I’ll choose Brave instead on Can You Imagine?
  9. Damn. Johnny Test might have some competition.
  10. At the end of the day when reviewing you gotta do besides other reviews were way harsher for RK
  11. Okay but you got to wait until next Tuesday. Also are you reviewing films by month when you do Y4 reviews next week?
  12. Brandybrook I am still an avid watcher of Family Guy (though I admit the current seasons have sucked), American Dad is still great and loved Ted. However Seth has done a lot of shitty projects, Million Ways to Die in The West, The Orville (don’t @ me), The Cleveland Show, and Bordertown. Sadly, Brandybrook is in the latter. It basically combines the worst of modern Family Guy and the haphazardly message it throws at you. The story and humor is atrocious, and the characters are so fucking one dimensional it hurts. It’s an eyesore, and I pity who winds up watching it. That being said, the dumpster fire has one or two redeeming qualities: decent animation and a decent song. But that only is not worth watching. 1.5/10.0
  13. Extreme Dinosaurs This is basically a okay film. The Rock and Karl Urban does a great jobs as the film’s respective main protagonist and antagonist. The action can be fun and yes there’s a few moments that made me lack but this lacks the charm or originality or for the most part fun of some of Xillix’s other action comedy 80’s franchises based on mildly popular stuff to things you never knew existed (Street Sharks, He-Man, TTFABH.). It’s okay but it could’ve been something real fun. Hopefully the sequel is better. 5.6/10.0 - C On a side note, here’s what’s next: The SCP Foundation Brandybrook Oscar Pill Reboot Best Friends Forever Touching Spirit Bear The Hunchback From Notre Dame Flowers From Algernon
  14. The gif and meme trend is strong this year for reviews. I’m pleased.
  15. North Shore Cinema update —————————————————————— Venom is running 60.3% behind Ant Man and The Wasp ($29.81M OW), 62.1% behind Thor: Ragnarok ($46.27M OW), and 63.3% behind Spider-Man: Homecoming ($42.9M OW). Not going to lie these are shit presales especially if it’s starting early. Still see it being more walkup friendly but my guess is somewhere from $50M-$60M OW.
  16. North Shore Cinema update Smallfoot is running at the same pace as Wonder and 6% behind Daddy’s Home 2. This is a decent start but again not expecting more than $25M OW for this one. Smallfoot is also sharing Ultrascreen with Night School over the week. Night School I have no comps for but it has sold 43 seats which is strong for a comedy. Think it will be walk up based, thinking $30M-$40M OW.
  17. Just to help, if you’re interested, these are the list of films that have sequels this year minus Voltron and I’m assuming Voltron: Rise Of Lotor: The Odyssey: The Spoils Of War Pokemon: The Journey Begins Treasure Planet Amulet Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills TTAFFBH2 Crash Bandicoot American Dragon: Jake Long Our City Extreme Dinosaurs The Amityville Nightmare
  18. @4815162342 going into Mass Effect now. If I’m lucky you may get feedback tonight cause I’d rather get it done know cause I’m going to need a whole day for Voltron.
  19. @cayommagazine Infinite Studios is working on an animated Clone High adaptation with Lord and Miller to write, produce and direct.
