HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE OF MONDAY NIGHT FRESH

WHERE IS KLAUS?

Previously, Artemis Fowl (The Fowl Adventures) was able to gain the trust of Violet Baudelaire (A Series of Unfortunate Events) after teaming up with her to defeat Madame Morrible (Wicked) and Thomas Jefferson (Hamilton). Artemis is trying to get close to Violet since he discovered that she is being blackmailed by a mysterious group that are holding Sunny Baudelaire (ASOUE) hostage.

Klaus Baudelaire (ASOUE) has been noticeably absent in this storyline. For this episode of Fresh, it’s revealed that Klaus is also aware that Violet is being blackmailed and that Sunny is being held hostage. It’s also revealed that Klaus has teamed up with someone to help him take the blackmailers down…

The Tale of Tiffany Lust (1981)

La acomodada ama de casa Tiffany (la popular actriz francesa Dominique Saint Claire) rompe con su aburrida rutina diaria al concertar una cita con la prostituta Betty (la incomparable Veronica Hart), que intenta enseñarle los puntos cardinales del sexo lésbico antes de enviarla a un viaje de un día de autodescubrimiento sexual. El punto de partida es el picante programa de radio presentado por Florence Nightingale (una interpretación muy divertida de la legendaria Vanessa Del Rio), que ofrece consejos explícitos (por no hablar de demostraciones físicas) a su excitada audiencia en el estudio. Al imaginarse en un apasionado abrazo con la terapeuta sexual, Tiffany pierde la entereza cuando le toca a ella ser entrevistada, y sale avergonzada del estudio.

Este clásico “menor” de la Edad de Oro del cine para adultos ya debería haber sido revalorizado hace tiempo. Dirigida en conjunto por el reverenciado cineasta porno francés Gérard Kikoïne y el habitualmente no acreditado Radley Metzger (AKA Henry Paris), fue descartada casualmente por los críticos en su estreno inicial, pero la verdad es que se mantiene como un interesante híbrido de los estilos tremendamente divergentes de sus autores: una mezcla de elegancia delicada y sexo sucio. Aunque el ritmo a veces cojea un poco, hay algunos diálogos ingeniosos y brillantes, cortesía de Metzger, un maestro de la comedia elegante. La producción es sólida, con iluminación suave y fotografía profesional de Gérard Loubeau, un reconocido director de películas eróticas.

Imaginary (2024)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

Imaginary works only enough to make you understand why we keep getting movies with this premise every few years. It’s not scary or innovative enough to make a lasting impression, practically guaranteeing that you’ll forget it in no time.

Jessica (DeWanda Wise) and her new husband, Max (Tom Payne), move into her childhood home with his two daughters. There, young Alice (Pyper Braun) finds a teddy bear she names Chauncey. Soon, the two are inseparable and Alice starts telling wild stories about her new best friend. When Chauncey starts "asking" her to do bad things, Jessica wonders if the imaginary friend is more than imaginary.

From the premise, I bet you can deduce a lot of what this movie has to offer. Director Jeff Wadlow (who co-writes with Greg Erb and Jason Oremland) spells it out from the first couple of scenes. Jessica has recurring nightmares of being chased by a spider-like monster while her now mentally ill father, Ben (Samuel Salary) tries to protect her. These nightmares are set in her childhood home (a home she hasn't lived in for years) and in them, she appears as a child. Hmm. I wonder. While Jessica gets along fairly well with Alice, she’s constantly butting heads with her older stepdaughter, Taylor (Taegen Burns). It’s obviously so Alice can be taken away at one point, forcing her sister and stepmother to set aside their differences and come to her rescue. Imaginary clocks in at 104 minutes. That’s way too long for a movie whose first half is dedicated to slowly revealing that, indeed, Chauncey is sinister.

There’s a point about halfway through when Jessica brings Alice’s therapist (Verónica Falcón) into their home. There’s a twist about Chauncey that’s actually clever and pretty shocking. Now, the movie feels like it’s picking up, and it does… but silly moments, visuals and/or twists bring it right back down. For instance:

Chauncey has a monstrous form and it’s introduced in an effective scene. Taylor is alone in a room with a spinning night light that plays Chauncey’s jingle (a nice little piece by Bear McCreary). The light moving across the walls is in the shape of a bear. There’s a matching shape on the wall facing Taylor. The two will line up at any second. You know something bad will happen then. There’s genuine suspense that’s undone when we actually see Chauncey's grotesque appearance. I won’t necessarily call the monster design bad but all I could think of when I saw it was "What if we crossed the creature from Cellar Dweller and the Muppet Sweetums?".

There are nightmare versions of several characters at key points during the second half. Their designs are scary in concept but in execution, they just look silly. Coraline did it better.

Finally, there's Betty Buckley as Gloria, Jessica’s neighbor and former babysitter. At first, you think she’s only there to reveal something obvious about Jessica’s childhood but she’s got a bigger part to play in the story and in the end, it doesn’t make much sense.

After Alice mysteriously disappears, Jessica and Taylor learn that it was Chauncey's doing. The imaginary friend had Alice collect various objects to perform a ritual. The ritual opens a door to the Never Ever, Chauncey’s realm. They don't see it happen. They learn what happened from Gloria, who also gives a detailed explanation of what Chauncey is, what it wants and examples of it (or creatures like it) appearing throughout history. The explanation is unnecessary and there had to be a better way for Jessica to find out what happened but if Gloria wasn’t included, the film couldn’t have this lame twist that comes later on. Once she, Jessica and Taylor enter the Never Ever, Gloria reveals that she’s been conspiring with Chauncey and closes their exit so the three of them - and Alice - can stay in the Never Ever forever. Moments later, Chauncey devours her. If something needed to be trimmed, this was it.

Imaginary contains as many clever twists as it does groan-worthy ones. The premise has been done before but this take on it contains new ideas that could’ve carried it over the finish line if it was scarier. Alternatively, it could’ve been shorter by ditching some of the eye-rolling revelations or overcomplicated lore. I like the last scene, I like some of the musical beats and it’s got some clever moments but they don’t make the film worth your time, not when there’s another movie just like this one coming in a couple of years.

Fica Em Paz

Muitas vezes nos vemos em situações que ao nosso ver, se parecem impossíveis de se resolver, porque a vida tem suas dificuldades, e isso todo mundo sabe.

Mas o que muitas vezes nós esquecemos, é que O Senhor ainda têm o poder de fazer milagres.

No livro de Marcos, a partir do versículo 35 do capitulo 4, diz que enquanto os discípulos de Jesus se apavoravam com a tempestade e as ondas do mar entrando em seu barco, O Senhor Jesus dormia. Isso porque Ele sabia que Deus continuava no controle das suas vidas.

"Jesus despertou, repreendeu o vento e disse ao mar: "Silêncio! Aquiete-se!". De repente, o vento parou, e houve grande calmaria." - Marcos 4:39

Muitas vezes enquanto esperamos, o caminho vêm cheio de desafios e dificuldades. E enquanto você esta caminhando, saiba que O Senhor Deus ainda está ao seu lado. E no momento certo Jesus vem e acalma a tempestade.

Entregue suas dificuldades nas mão de Deus, peça por sabedoria enquanto a tempestade não passa e creia que Jesus está acalmando a tempestade que temporariamente está passando em sua vida.

Confia em Jesus e fica em paz, pois Ele não te abandona. Jamais! - Veronica Payne

Horror Movie Review: Imaginary (2024)

Blumhouse sure are spitting them out now, aren’t they? Which, as anyone knows, means diminishing results and while Imaginary isn’t a terrible film by any stretch, it is sorely lacking in imagination. It’s the epitome of dull and uninspired horror.
