🎬 The Devil Wears Prada 2 Review Is Up — Fashion, Drama & More Internet Garbage
The fashion world is back, and so am I with another completely necessary contribution to the endless world of internet scrolling.
I watched The Devil Wears Prada 2 and shared my thoughts on where the story goes, the characters returning after all these years, and whether stepping back into the world of Runway was worth it.
Was it fabulous? Was it a fashion disaster? Or somewhere in between?
You’ll have to watch and find out.

From Bubba to The Lawyer: How Did I Miss That?
Sometimes a movie sends you down a rabbit hole you never expected.
The other day I watched Is God Is, and you can catch my full review over at NielFlamm.com/videos. I went into it not knowing much about the film, and it turned out to be one of those movies that sticks with you.
But here’s what really caught me off guard.
The actor playing The Lawyer looked familiar, but I couldn’t immediately place him. Then it hit me…
That’s Bubba from Forrest Gump!
How did I not recognize him?
Then my brain started connecting the dots.
Wait…
He was Baby-O in Con Air.
Then it hit me again.
He was Sergeant Drucker in Heat.
Now, I’ve probably watched Heat more times than I care to admit. It’s one of my all-time favorite movies. And if you’ve never done it before, crank the volume during the legendary bank robbery scene. The sound design alone is worth it.
Yet somehow, after all those viewings, I never realized Mykelti Williamson was in the cast.
It’s funny how an actor can disappear so completely into different roles that you never make the connection. One day, he’s the unforgettable Bubba talking about shrimp. Another day, he’s a federal agent in Con Air. Then he’s part of Michael Mann’s masterpiece Heat. Years later, he pops up in Is God Is, and suddenly all those performances come rushing back.
He’s had a long and impressive career with plenty of other television and film roles, but for me those four performances—Forrest Gump, Con Air, Heat, and now Is God Is—are the ones I’ll remember most.

Have you ever had one of those “Wait… THAT’S the same actor?” moments? I’d love to hear your favorites.
Disclosure Day: Is It Worth Seeing?
I finally made it to the theater to watch Disclosure Day—16 days after its release—and I'm glad I did.
If you're a fan of big-screen science fiction, mysterious government secrets, aliens, conspiracy theories, and movies that capture a sense of awe and wonder, this one is worth talking about. In my latest movie review, I share what worked, what reminded me of classic sci-fi adventures, and why I think this movie should be experienced in theaters rather than on your couch.
No spoilers here... well, almost.

You might laugh.
You might disagree.
You might wonder how you ended up there in the first place.
Either way, thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you in the next review... or whatever.
I Thought It Was a Tom Cruise Tribute... Then It Took a Weird Turn
One of the unexpected highlights before my screening of Supergirl (2026) wasn't the movie itself—it was one of the previews.
It opens with one of the most recognizable movie moments ever:
"I feel the need... the need for speed."
Immediately, I thought, "This is going to be an homage to Tom Cruise."
The trailer starts with clips from his career, not just the blockbusters. It goes way back.
We're talking about movies like Taps, released before Risky Business. Then there's Risky Business itself, followed by All the Right Moves. I've seen both, and it was fun watching the montage remind me just how long Tom Cruise has been entertaining audiences.
As the clips kept rolling, I figured this was simply a celebration of one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
Nope.
I was completely wrong.
After a couple of minutes of walking down memory lane, the montage suddenly pivots into about thirty seconds of footage from Tom Cruise's upcoming movie, Digger, scheduled for release in October 2026.
Talk about a plot twist.
The footage itself looked... odd.
Not bad.
Just... odd.
The kind of trailer that left me scratching my head and wondering, "What exactly did I just watch?"
Then it hit me.
Maybe that was the whole marketing strategy.
Instead of opening with an unfamiliar movie that audiences might ignore, they first remind everyone why they've spent decades watching Tom Cruise. They build excitement by revisiting the films that made him a global movie star. By the time the new footage appears, you're already invested enough to give it a chance.
If that was intentional, it's actually a pretty clever piece of marketing.
Whether Digger ends up being a hit or a miss remains to be seen, but that preview definitely got my attention—and that's exactly what a trailer is supposed to do.

And Tommy... if we're really Scientology buddies in some alternate universe... thanks for the memories.
Movie Review: I Love Boosters
I finally found some time to watch I Love Boosters—but I didn't finish it.
In my latest movie review, I explain why I initially thought it was trying to capture a Wes Anderson vibe, why that comparison didn't work for me, and the irony I found in the film's message.
