New House Party film? Will it live up to the hype or will it crash and burn?

So when I initially heard about a remake of the 1990 classic House Party, I immediately dismissed it. 

Up until last week I still wasn’t sold, but after watching the trailer and doing a bit of research, I can say that I’m willing to give it a watch and go into it with an open mind.

House Party starts Jacob Latimore and Tosin Cole. It’s directed by Calmatic and written by Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori. 


Here are some reasons why I think this film may stand a chance to be good.


1. It has an ensemble cast and crew behind the scenes

2. New Line Cinema and Lebron James’ Springhill Productions are behind this film 

3. It’s rated R

4. Kid & Play seem to be in support of this project


Also judging by the trailer, there will be a few cameos, and surprise guests at this party😮I don’t have any expectations and I plan on going into this film with an open mind, hopefully with Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori (both writers on FX's Atlanta) behind the scenes they’ll find a way to give us some nostalgia while also connecting with the generation what was born far after the original's 1990 release😎 


For news and updates, I suggest following the cast and crew on social media!

REVIEW-Monogamish(2023)

Image
HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!! I’m so excited for all the new movies that are to come this year. With that being said, I wanted to let you all know about the very first independent film I watched on Tubi called Monogamish. Synopsis: Zane a successful real-estate broker, is asked by her husband if they could see other people and help their marriage succeed. What I liked:  As expected the production quality was good, acting was a little stale at times, but the cast exceeded my overall expectations. I loved the cinematography of this film, especially the aerial shots of the city. This film was directed and written by Marquand Ragland. Monogamish was my introduction to this North Carolina based director, and I must say he did a good job. Monogamish was a breath of fresh air as my first review of the year. Of course this film had its share of betrayal and backstabbing, but it was written very well and tastefully. What needed work:  Although I thought Zane's character was very relatable, I f

Review-NIGHT SWIM(2024)

Yesterday I got the chance to watch the new supernatural horror/thriller called Night Swim, but by the time the film revealed its main plot point, it had NOTHING to do with night or swimming. Night Swim was brought to us by the producers behind M3GAN and The Nun, which were also very underwhelming and overrated. Blumhouse is the company behind this, so my interest was peaked. I thought this film had great potential because it had two elements that scared the shit out of me….Water and The Dark. Can yall believe at my big grown age of 35 I can’t swim and am still afraid of the dark lol. In the cold opening of this film, we see a little girl who looks to be about eight or nine, she’s looking for a toy boat in the pool. She goes to reach for it, and I already knew she was going somehow to fall in, which she did. I wasn’t sure where they were going with this, but after her being pulled in and we get the title card, I knew they’d eventually circle back at some point.   After the title card w

2024 IS HERE! Recaps With Mae is BACK!

Did y'all miss me? Because I definitely missed y'all! 2023 I was all over the place and so busy chasing views on TikTok that doing film and tv reviews began to overwhelm me and feel like work. I tried a few gimmicks to get views but ultimately my content began to suffer, and I just didn't wanna do it anymore.  Starting in January my best friend, Neecey, and I started a podcast that was so fun, but came with many challenges.  We consistently got together every week for anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours to talk about our favorite horror movies. From January to September we covered the entire Scream and Child's Play franchise, the phenomenal Swarm series, Tales From the Hood, the original CandyMan from 1992 and its remake from 2021.  WHEW!  We stayed consistent even though life started life-ing, but ultimately we had to take a hiatus when we both got new jobs working overnights. We plan on getting back to the podcast since we have since gotten momentum on our F
