Interview | Paranormal Expert Christopher Chacon On "Ghostbusters: Afterlife"

Recently I was given the incredible opportunity to join a roundtable discussion with world-renowned paranormal expert Christopher Chacon to talk about Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021).

During the roundtable we spoke about what he believed films like Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) got right and/or wrong about the World of the paranormal and how it's investigated. You can check out our roundtable below.

Although my time speaking with Christopher was brief, it was an incredible experience. Especially for someone like myself, as a lover of all things paranormal.  The only regret I have is, in my COVID brain fog I forgot to ask him about any literature he might recommend to anyone who might watch Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) and think that they'd like to learn more about paranormal investigating and ghost hunting.

Movie Trailer | Vandal

Recently I was sent the trailer for Jose Daniel Freixas’ feature directorial debut Vandal (2021), which will be available on digital and on-demand November 16th, and it looked too interesting not to share...

Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Website | #VandalMovie

1091 Pictures announced today they have secured the world rights to Jose Daniel Freixas’ feature directorial debut VANDAL. The thriller is an EXILIUM production, and stars Daniel Zovatto (Don’t Breathe), Otmara Marrero (“Connecting…”, “StartUp”), Beau Knapp (Southpaw), Juan Pablo Raba (“Narcos”), Richard Schiff (“The Good Doctor”), and Frankie J. Alvarez (“Looking”). The film will be available to purchase or rent beginning November 16, 2021.     

VANDAL is the story of the young leader (Zovatto) of an infamous graffiti crew in Miami who experiences love, loss, and the consequences of his actions as he comes of age, struggling to justify his obsession with illegal street graffiti.     

“Graffiti has been a part of my life since I was 10 years old. I grew up through graffiti with so many highs and so many lows along the way. As a filmmaker it has been one of my earliest dreams to make a film that authentically depicts the lives of graffiti artists from the perspective of Miami, and represent my Hispanic culture. I am eternally grateful to our cast and crew for bringing their energy, creativity, and talent to deliver what I believe is one of the greatest films about graffiti ever made. I am equally grateful to 1091 Pictures for believing in this film and helping spread the message and magic of graffiti and street art around the globe. We know Vandal is in great hands with the team at 1091 Pictures,” said Director Jose Daniel Freixas.     

Greg Maurice, Director of Content Acquisition for 1091 Pictures stated that  “VANDAL showcases an authentic and unique perspective of the graffiti world. Both The Godfather of LA graffiti, Kelly ‘Risk’ Gravall, and Atlanta graffiti legend, Dax Rudnak from the Dungeon Family, approved of the true experiences graffiti artists encounter through this film. Jay Dee's selection of an inclusive, award-winning crew including Gregory Tripi, Caleb Heyman and Oscar-winning casting director, Yesi Ramirez, was the perfect combination to authentically highlight the world of graffiti, something most people see but know anything about."     

VANDAL is directed by Jose Daniel Freixas and written by Freixas, Paul Taegel, Derek Mether, Andrew Bozalis, and Tony Gonzalez. The film is produced by Freixas and Tony Gonzalez. Executive Producers are Rob Weiss, Kelly “Risk” Graval, Marco Vicini, and Tony Gonzalez.     

Upcoming projects for Exilium include a film adaption of The Corporation: An Epic Story of the Cuban American Underworld by New York Times bestselling author T.J. English, which will star Benicio Del Toro with Leonardo DiCaprio attached to produce and a forthcoming T.J. English book The Last Kilo: Willie Falcon and the Cocaine Era That Seduced America in the works. Upcoming projects for the cast include Daniel Zovatto in HBO Max’s “Station Eleven” and Otmara Marrero in the upcoming Netflix series “Florida Man”.

Directed by: Jose Daniel Freixas 
Cast: Daniel Zovatto, Otmara Marrero, Beau Knapp, Juan Pablo Raba, Richard Schiff, Frankie J. Alvarez, Dax Rudnak, Ralph Rodriguez, Angeline Appel, Manolo Gonzalez-Vergara, Veronica Gessa 
Run Time: 01:38:34
Rating: NA

Personally I am obsessed with graffiti and other forms of street art, so I definitely will be checking Vandal (2021) out because that world and lifestyle is so interesting to me. I think street artists don't get the credit they deserve, and I don't view them as vandals.

What do you think? Do you enjoy graffiti and street art? Do you think you'll give Vandal (2021) a shot? Lemme know!

Movie Trailer | Being The Ricardos

The teaser trailer for Amazon Studio's upcoming movie Being The Ricardos (2021) came out yesterday, (Which hits theaters on December 10,  2021 and streaming on Prime Video starting December 21, 2021) and because I grew up with my sister being a HUGE Lucille Ball fan (Like some much so I bought a handmade doll of Lucy when my sister found out she was having a girl, as well as a couple of children's books about her), I obviously had to post about the trailer.

Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Website | #BeingTheRicardos

During one production week of “I Love Lucy” — from Monday table read through Friday audience taping — Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem) face a series of personal and professional crises that threaten their show, their careers and their marriage, in writer-director Aaron Sorkin’s behind-the-scenes drama.

Written & Directed by: Aaron Sorkin
Producers: Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, Jake Lacy, J.K. Simmons, Nina Arianda, Tony Hale and Alia Shawkat
Run Time: 125 Minutes
Rating: NR

I'm not going to lie, I don't know how I feel about this one... I try to stay positive with movie trailers but like I said above, my sister is a huge Lucille Ball fan and because of that I've watched A LOT (And I mean A LOT) of I Love Lucy (1951-1957), as well as a bunch of other television shows and movies that Lucy has been in throughout the course of my life. So, I'm kinda leaning towards feeling meh about this one. That being said, I know I'm going to end up watching it with my sister while we're home in December. Hopefully the movie will surprise me because at this point the trailer just makes me want to go to Hulu and watch all six season of I Love Lucy. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

What about you? What do you think of the trailer? Let me know what you think of this first look at Being The Ricardos!

BONUS - Watch Lucie Arnaz (Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's daughter) discuss her thoughts on the film.

Movie Trailer | Cinderella

Recently I was sent the trailer for Amazon Studios' upcoming release of Cinderella (2021), which will begin streaming exclusively on Prime Video on September 3rd, 2021, and because I have a Cinderella obsessed sister and I've seen/read so many different versions of the Cinderella story, I thought I should share it will all of you...

Official Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | #CinderellaMovie

From Kay Cannon (Pitch Perfect), Cinderella is a modern musical with a bold take on the story you grew up with. Our ambitious heroine (Camilla Cabello) has big dreams and with the help of her Fab G, she perseveres to make them come true. Cinderella has an all-star cast including Idina Menzel, Minnie Driver, James Corden, Nicholas Galitzine, Billy Porter and Pierce Brosnan.

Produced by: Leo Pearlman, James Corden, Jonathan Kadin and Shannon McIntosh 
Starring: Camila Cabello, Idina Menzel, Minnie Driver, Nicholas Galitzine with Billy Porter and Pierce Brosnan
Run Time: 113 Minutes
Rated: PG

As someone who is very familiar with Cinderella and has seen/read so many different versions of the fairy tale from all around the World, I think this seems like a cute take on the tale. Plus I love Billy Porter.

I'm really looking forward to this being released next month, so I can watch it with my sister and Mimi. 

What about you? What do you think? Are you going to give it a shot or are you just going to stick with another version? Lemme know!

I'm not going to lie, I really want to see Cruella (2021) and I've been waiting for my sister to tell me to come over to so we can rent it on Disney+.

I've had a couple of friends see it and they told me it was worth a watch. So I'm excited.

What do you think? Have you watched it? Do you want to watch it? If you want to watch it and haven't yet, what platform are you waiting to watch it on? Lemme know!

Trailer | Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell

Recently I was sent information about Netflix's upcoming documentary Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell (2021) and because we love Mr. Christopher Wallace in my house, I had to share the details with you...

In the wake of the Notorious B.I.G.’s landmark induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and ahead of what would have been his 50th birthday, Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell offers a fresh look at one of the greatest, most influential rappers of all time by those who knew him best. Made in collaboration with Biggie’s estate, I Got A Story To Tell is an intimate rendering of a man whose rapid ascent and tragic end has been at the center of rap lore for more than twenty years. Directed by Emmett Malloy, this intimate documentary features rare footage filmed by his best friend Damion “D-Roc” Butler and new interviews with his closest friends and family, revealing a side of Christopher Wallace that the world never knew. I Got A Story To Tell is executive produced by Sean Combs, Voletta Wallace, Mark Pitts, Stanley Buchthal, and Emmett and Brendan Malloy.  

Director: Emmett Malloy 
Producers: David Koh, Wayne Barrow, William Green, Aaron L. Ginsburg, Terry Leopard and Daniel Pappas  
Executive Producers: Sean Combs, Voletta Wallace, Mark Pitts, Stanley Buchthal, Emmett Malloy and Brendan Malloy 

Honestly, Justin and I will be watching this Monday night. Like I said above, we love The Notorious B.I.G. and I think it's a great way to remember him with the anniversary of his death coming up on March 9th. I can't believe it's been almost twenty-four years since he passed. It make me so sad that he was taken away from this world so young. He was such an incredible talent. That all being said, I hope that everyone with a love for music and hip-hop watches this documentary because I looks incredible to me.

What do you think? Are you going to watch it? Were you or are you a fan of Biggie's music? What's your favorite Biggie track? Lemme know!

Best of enemies. Worst of Friends.

One of the most beloved rivalries in history is reignited when Jerry moves into New York City’s finest hotel on the eve of “the wedding of the century,” forcing the event’s desperate planner to hire Tom to get rid of him, in director Tim Story’s “Tom & Jerry.” The ensuing cat and mouse battle threatens to destroy her career, the wedding and possibly the hotel itself. But soon, an even bigger problem arises: a diabolically ambitious staffer conspiring against all three of them.

An eye-popping blend of classic animation and live action, Tom and Jerry’s new big-screen adventure stakes new ground for the iconic characters and forces them to do the unthinkable… work together to save the day.  

“Tom & Jerry” stars Chloë Grace Moretz (“Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising,” “The Addams Family”), Michael Peña (“Cesar Chavez,” “American Hustle,” “Ant-Man”), Rob Delaney (“Deadpool 2,” “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”), Colin Jost (“How to be Single,” “Saturday Night Live”), and Ken Jeong (“Crazy Rich Asians,” “The Hangover,” “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”).  

The film is directed by Tim Story (“Fantastic Four,” “Think Like a Man,” “Barbershop”) and produced by Chris DeFaria (“The LEGO Movie 2,” “Ready Player One,” “Gravity”).  

It is written by Kevin Costello, based on characters created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Serving as executive producers are Tim Story, Adam Goodman, Steven Harding, Sam Register, Jesse Ehrman, and Allison Abbate. The creative filmmaking team includes director of photography Alan Stewart, production designer James Hambidge, editor Peter S. Elliot, and costume designer Alison McCosh. The music is composed by Christopher Lennertz.  

A Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Animation Group presentation, a Tim Story Film, “Tom & Jerry” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film is rated PG for cartoon violence, rude humor and brief language.

This is a standard Rafflecopter giveaway. In order to be one of the three (3) lucky winners you must follow this blog on Bloglovin' and leave a comment telling me if you like Tom or Jerry better.

TV Trailer | Waffle + Mochi

Recently I was sent the synopsis of the upcoming Netflix series Waffle + Mochi (2021 - Present) which is being produced in part by Michelle and Barack Obama. And because I basically fell in love after watching the trailer, I had to share it with all of you.

Official Website | Instagram | Twitter | #WafflesAndMochi

Once upon a thyme, deep in The Land of Frozen Food, lived two best friends named Waffles and Mochi with one shared dream: to become chefs! The only problem? Everything they cooked was made of ice. When these two taste-buddies are suddenly hired as the freshest employees of a whimsical supermarket, they’re ready for the culinary adventure of a lifetime. With the help of friendly new faces like the supermarket owner, Mrs. Obama, and a magical flying shopping cart as their guide, Waffles and Mochi blast off on global ingredient missions, traveling to kitchens, restaurants, farms and homes all over the world, cooking up recipes with everyday ingredients alongside renowned chefs, home cooks, kids and celebrities. Whether they’re picking potatoes in the Andes of Peru, sampling spices in Italy, or making Miso in Japan, these curious explorers uncover the wonder of food and discover every meal is a chance to make new friends. Waffles + Mochi is an exciting invitation to get kids and grown-ups cooking together in the kitchen and connecting to cultures around the globe. 

Format: Single Camera (Live Action)
Episodes: 10 x 20 minutes
Showrunners: Erika Thormahlen & Jeremy Konner
Executive Producers: Erika Thormahlen, Jeremy Konner, Tonia Davis, Priya Swaminathan, Barack and Michelle Obama
Production Company: Higher Ground Productions
Featuring: Michelle Obama
Puppeteers: Michelle Zamora (Waffles), Russ Walko (Mochi and Intercommy), Jonathan Kidder (Busy), Diona Elise Burnett (Steve the Mop and voice of Magicart), Taleia Gilliam (Shelfie), Andy Hayward (puppet swing), Piotr Michael (voice of Mochi), George Konner (voice of Intercommy)

C'mon, how cute does this show look?! I honestly cannot wait for it to start airing on March 16th so I can watch it with my sister and Mimi. I think Mimi will absolutely love watching it because she is always pretending to cook in her toy kitchen and is always asking whomever she is in the actual kitchen with if she can help them cook. Plus, I think my sister and I will really enjoy it too -- When we were little little there was no Food Network or Cooking Channel, so we would watch cooking shows on PBS and pretend to cook right along with Lidia Bastianich, Mary Ann Esposito, Ming Tsai, etc. So Waffle + Mochi would have 100% been right up our alley (It still is, we both still LOVE cooking shows).

What do you think? Are you going to watch Waffle + Mochi with a child in your family or on your own? Let me know!
