Smile 2 (2024) Written Review

 

Smile 2

Cast: Naomi Scott, Dylan Geula, Rosemarie DeWitt

Writer and Director: Parker Finn

*** out of 5 *'s

 

After a famous pop singer (Naomi Scott) witnesses her drug dealer commit suicide involving a really heavy weight.  Skye Riley starts to see things that she can’t explain or may not even be there at all in this sequel to the quote unquote hit movie Smile.  Titled cleverly Smile 2.  Not Smile Again,or Smile Too.  Keep on Smiling  would have worked fine, but no just Smile 2.

The Substance 2024 (Written Review)

 

The Substance

Cast: Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid

Writer and Director: Coralie Fargeat

 

Before the movie even began, we got a quick thank you message from Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley thanking us for watching this movie at AMC Theaters.  It set the tone that we are in for something different and unique.  But I don’t think mainstream audiences will ever be ready for an expierence like this but god damn am I ever happy it is here.
