Apologies in advance but we simply had to discuss the Will Smith incident again (plus Rebekah has an interesting theory she wanted to share). We also have quick reviews of You Won’t Be Alone & Marvel‘s Morbius before introducing you to the latest from Robert Eggers, The Northman (see that trailer below). Remember to find more movie reviews and free movie passes at JulieSaysSo.com.
We’ve got reviews for some big new streaming shows this week, like We Crashed, Severance & the second season of Upload. We’ll tell you if The Lost City is worth the ticket price and discuss whether or not anyone (except the nominees) cares about the Oscars this year. Plus, we have a look at the creepy new A24 flick, Men. Remember to find more reviews and free movie passes at JulieSaysSo.com!
I was positively giddy about the 2022 Oscar Nominations that were just released! If you happened to catch me on WFAA‘s Good Morning Texas, you could probably tell by the way I struggled to find my words (not my finest performance, folks). If you didn’t see it, click HERE to watch the highlights and low-points of this years nominations. Remember, you can still find several of the nominated films on streaming services and follow my social media posts for updates about added theatrical runs.
This weeks Julie Says So MOVIE MINUTE podcast covers some big new releases, like Ghostbusters Afterlife and King Richard, as well as the Netflix original Christmas movie, Father Christmas is Back. They also discuss some creepy holiday offerings you should add to your list, including the Elves series and Silent Night. Listen below and then check out the trailer for Silent Night, which hits theaters and AMC+ December 3rd.
Here’s a movie for the whole family that’s opening on Christmas Day. It’s Spies in Disguise from Blue Sky (the makers of Ice Age, Ferdinand and Rio), starring Will Smith and Tom Holland. Apparently Smith’s super-spy is turned into a pigeon while working with Holland’s nerdy technology officer and they have to work together to save the world. Well, the kids will love it and I have passes to see Spies in Disguise Continue reading →
When the first images of the new, live-action Aladdin were released in December, social media took one deep breath, then collectively shat itself. Twitter in particular went of the rails with gleeful vivisections of Will Smith’s “Genie,” comparing unkindly him to a post-diet Sinbad. You can read bits of that feeding-frenzy HERE, but the new Aladdin is actually getting good reviews. Sorry to rain on anyone’s “Everything Sucks” parade, but Guy Ritchie’s version of the Disney classic is being called “lavish,” “enjoyable,” and one guy even used the word “amazing.” You can read those reviews HERE if you don’t believe me, or you could just go see the new Aladdin EARLY and FOR FREE! Click HERE if you’d like passes to that free screening, then watch the trailer below. I even included a newly released clip of Will Smith singing “Prince Ali” to help you decide.

I was on Good Morning Texas today to talk about all the best movies December has to offer. Interested in seeing La La Land, Office Christmas Party or Sing? I can tell you if they’re worth your time. Want free passes to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Passengers, or Collateral Beauty? I can help with that, too! Just click HERE to watch the segment, then check out my Free Movie Passes page to see what’s available.
Will Smith is pretty excited about his co-stars in Collateral Beauty. He recently said, “If we are all judged by the company we keep … then I want this cast with me for life!” His excitement is understandable, with a line-up that includes Helen Mirren, Kate Winslet, Edward Norton and Keira Knightley. That’s two Oscar winners and three Oscar nominees, if you’re counting AND you include Will Smith. He plays an advertising executive who suffers a tremendous loss, then writes letters to Love, Time and Death as a way to cope. Imagine his surprise when they write back! So, would you like to see Collateral Beauty EARLY and FOR FREE? Click HERE to get your passes if so, then watch the trailer below. Oh yeah…this one is going to make me cry, too.
I got to see Suicide Squad with Rebekah Black and guest-critic, Tim Vasquez last night. Sooo, was it any good? Did it live up to that phenomenal trailer? Was Jared Leto a decent Joker? More importantly, did it wash the taste of the Godawful Batman v Superman out of our mouths? Listen to the podcast to find out, and while you’re here, don’t forget to snag some free movie passes!
We’re all still shaking our heads over the Batman v Superman disappointment we were hit with back in March. Despite that, I can’t help but get a little excited about Suicide Squad. I’m like that duck at the pond who keeps coming back to you, even when you’re just throwing rocks at it.
It’s hard to NOT get jazzed about Suicide Squad when you see Margot Robbie strutting around as Harley Quinn or you hear the stories about Jared Leto scaring co-stars as the Joker. He supposedly NEVER got out of character and even sent creepy things to them in the mail, like dead animals and used condoms. Scott Eastwood said, at one point, he wanted to call the cops on Leto. Plus, I want to see Ben Affleck play Batman again. He wasn’t my favorite part of Batman v Superman (that goes to Gal Gadot) but he came a close second.
We won’t care that it sucks if we see it for FREE, right? That’s why I’m giving away free passes! If you’d like to see Suicide Squad early and for free, just click HERE, then watch the trailer again. Omigod, QUEEN!!!
