Looking forward to Conquest because it's the movie from this series I've most forgotten.

laurel and hardy way t out west very very funny Cassie's cant stop Laughing make her tears of laighter

Cassie has said "Collateral" will be her April PPOTM...just wanted to get that out here in writing...haha.

I can't believe you're doing Cold Mountain. One of my favorite movies. It's such an incredible film, but it never got it's due. The only explanation I can come up with is that the love story is not believable. Otherwise, it's a masterpiece. I absolutely love Renee Zellwegger's character. She deserves an Oscar for her role.

I love Enemy of the State. I can’t wait to see your reaction.

Maybe Cobra Kai

I hope JFK wins! Such an enthralling film with tons of intrigue, drama and suspense.

I hope ‘JFK’ wins! That is such an enj

For targeted 50's Horror polls, I put these (14) in a random generator. Good selection I'd say. This is ready to go Cassie, Lol. Poll A Curse of the Demon (1957) Horror of Dracula (1958) House of Wax (1953) The Crawling Eye (1958) The Mummy (1959) The Night of the Hunter (1955) Poll B Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) The Blob (1958) The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) The Fly (1958) The Thing from Another World (1951) Them! (1954)

Glad you all had such a great time! I'm going to watch the reaction to ‘The French connection’, as I'm French, I don't want to miss it! Otherwise I saw this week “Under Suspicion” with Liam Neeson, not a bad movie!

Such cute pics of you and the family on vacation, good for you Cassie, and may I just say that you look absolutely beautiful in that red dress, love it! Hate to break it to you, but "Conquest for the Planet of the Apes" is not the last one of the OG's, it's second to last! "Battle for the Planet of the Apes" is the last one, so in total there are 5! I'm looking forward to seeing you react to the prequels/reboots, they're awesome! I've seen "Cold Mountain" once, it's an interesting movie, I've never seen "Enemy of the State"! At least one of us had a good week, work has really been kicking my rear end, I ended up popping my shoulder the other day, YEEEOUCH!!! As for any movies I've watched lately, I actually went ahead and re-watched "Iron Will", I enjoyed every minute, reminicing of my father and I when we watched it when I was a kid with our pet dog Hoser, and then I cried my eyes out at the end lol! Trust me Cassie, you and Carly will enjoy that movie and I still hope you'll react to it someday! I'll be re-submitting my Pick-A-Flick "Cutthroat Island" very soon, I'm not giving up on that one until it wins lol! Hope you and the family have a good weekend, love and support always and God bless y'all🥰😇🙏🤗😁😉👍✌🌹

Good Call Callmewheels!! I think i recommended "Cold Mountain" to Cassie in YT comments after C&C enjoyed "The Patriot". both are brutal u.s war period dramas, but i thought both sisters would enjoy Cold Mountain more because of the love story element. anyways, enjoy everyone!

i think she should watch all 5 and watch battle for the planet of the apes for completion sake

Cold Mountain is grim but really really good

You are going to love Cold Mountain

Great to hear that guys had an unforgettable trip. Not too many great basketball films but remembering Lusia Harris - The Queen of Basketball. She had an incredible life and professional career. That giggle and smile was so endearing. This is a great mini-doc about her https://youtu.be/vPFkcoTfr7g?si=ndLVWNxJk19WZjA0

The kids definitely get their heart shaped heads from your Husband. JK, looks like a great trip. With you never having seen Now And Then (something that I would have assumed you may have seen as a kid) I am wondering what other Coming Of Age movies from the 90's you haven't seen.

Looks like you guys had a great time in Mexico! I haven't seen Enemy of the State in a while. It was one of those movies back in the day when it came on tv no matter what part of the movie it was you would sit down and watch the rest of it, at least at my house. And I doubt you'll watch it but I just finished the latest season of Vinland Saga and dang was it good. It definitely has the potential to be my favorite anime when finally finishes in like 5 years.

I asked ChatGPT and it Seems that Gene Hackman Wasn’t in “Cold Mountain” (2003). BTW; During the reaction video for “The French Connection” Cassie had a “Break”, and I was fulling expecting her to come back from the Break with a full Bronze Tan, Corn Rolls, and a Big Salty Margarita; and just finish strong in all her Canadian-Mexican Splendor. Anyways, can’t hardly wait for “Enemy of the State”; and Cassie’s reaction to Echelon ET AL.

Due to my Officer and a Gentleman PTSD, I feel the need to make it absolutely clear to Cassie that Cold Mountain is NOT a rom-com. Given our previous high profile debacle ("Richard Gere's the rom-com guy, right?"), the presence of Rene Zellweger (Bridget Jones), Jude Law (The Holiday) and Nicole Kidman (Far and Away) in the same movie may lead her to believe otherwise and lessen her enjoyment. If this occurs even one more time due to inadequate foreshadowing, I will be severely dischuffed.

I’m so glad you had a good trip and your family have fun. I hope you feel better. You’re always getting sick. I hope you start feeling better and staying better. Could you guys maybe watch Mad love and wind River. Also, maybe you could start Wednesday and The Last Of Us season 2comes out in April.

For the March Madness thingy, please expand out and pick randomly from the Top 500.

Glad you had fun. When you first said you were going to Mexico, I have to admit, I almost commented on not drinking the water but I didn't want to jinx it. Thanks for sharing the photos, your oldest boy is about to be taller than his momma!

Lovely family. Glad you had a good time. Side note; idk who is recommending these movies, but most of these movies are not good "react to" movies. I'm sure you can tell by the low view numbers as well.

the Family Looks lovely ... And don't worry about the length of JFK it's gonna go by in an instant and you're gonna love it... You look lovely as usual... Cold Mountain very good book so-so movie

Great photos of the family, Cassie! Glad you got some time to relax! God bless.

Cassie is not giving us her usual beaming smile in any of those pictures. I'm concerned she's been out skateboarding with her son and is waiting till she gets back to the States to visit the dentist. 😢

Originally for March Madness I was going to say random picks by genre from the top 50, and I was going to ask if the horror genre was going to included (which it should be) but then I realized that there are no horror movies in the top 50 due to the static nature of the list. Any chance of expanding beyond just the 50? Let’s have some fun and make it the top 500. Or go really crazy and make it the top 5000! Anyway if you’re set on 50 for genre picks then I say just go with the top films paired with the top teams and clear out some of the deadwood that has been stuck there for years.

Looking at those family pictures it looks like scenes from a movie: Cassie Popcorn in the Planet of Love! Cold Mountain is a great Drama. It will be fun to see some more Gene in a thriller. And count me in for one last OG Apes flick. It might not be a great Friday night movie, but it would make one cool Saturday afternoon matinee or even a Saturday morning watch. Just don't take it serious. As for future movie picks, all I want is Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming. I don't ask for much.

Great family pics. Sounds like you drank some of the water there. Excited about March Madness this year my school St Johns is finally in it again. Maybe they face BYU at some point.

Glad you had a good time. Great pics.

J.F.K theatrical Vs. director's cut has been discussed; Perhaps a poll is in order to see which versions are available to most people?

Great holiday snaps and great lineup! Cold Mountain 👍 Enemy of the State 👍 Apes 👍

Those are great family photos. The family vacations are always great times! I am a bit of a traditionalist and would recommend pairing the top rated movies with the top rated teams (rather than a random draw). However, it should still be a good time with either option.

Wow your kids really are the spitting image of their father 🤣

Welcome Home! I really liked the randomness of drawing movies to pair with each Basketball team in March Madness and hope you decide to do it that way again this year.

How do you always get sick? You're cursed...

Welcome back, Cassie! Where do we go to submit our pick-a-flick? With March Madness coming up are we still going to have a competition amongst the other Patreon members and the winner gets to choose a movie for you to watch? All set for Conquest of the Apes, and Enemy of the State will be a fun watch. Take care, Cassie! All the best!

"I honestly can't wait to be back in bed watching a good flick with all of you." Count me out. Way too crowded! :-) "On YT it will be Beneath Apes" Again, count me out. Get those darn dirty apes off me!

Drinking game for JFK: Take a drink every time Cassie recognizes a face, but doesn't know the name (or where she knows them from). So many people in that movie.

It looks like some great films are coming up. I understand why you can't show your children, but you have a beautiful family. I remember spending every summer from the age of 5 to 20 with my parents and grandparents and my younger brother, who was 4 years younger, and my sister, who was 6 years younger, at our summer home on the Atlantic Ocean, and those are some of my best memories. Now that everyone in my family is dead and gone, memories are all I have. Every chance you get, spend it with your family, making memories; trust me, you won't regret it.

Definitely looking forward to seeing the new series with you, starting with "Rise", but there was one version of the older series that IS worth watching, before jumping directly to the "reboot" (as I understand your intentions). That was "#6" in the series, the 2001 "Planet of the Apes", with Mark Wahlberg, Kris Kristofferson and others. A budget of $100 million and total gross of $362 million, whereas the movie you have listed here, "Conquest of Planet of the Apes", had a budget of only $1.7 million, and grossed only $9.7 million. I.e. the Wahlberg version had a budget 59 times as great, with revenues 37 times as great, as "Conquest", so it would seem funny to watch "Conquest" and not watch "Planet" (2001) ?? As for chronology, Wikipedia says: "It [Wahlberg] grossed $362.2 million worldwide, becoming the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2001. Despite its financial success, Fox chose to cancel the sequel, and later rebooted the film series in 2011 with 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' ". So that is how we get to "Rise" out of the original series. Again, another good reason to watch the Wahlberg version.

I love how in the one photo everyone except grandpa got the memo about the hawaiian shirt/dress. Grandpa defiantly refuses to wear one

Welcome back. Glad you all had such a great time. Enjoy the time with your kids. You blink and they are grown. Looks like a week of great movies. I think you will enjoy them all. Keep up the great content.

I gotta admit its funny reading Cassie using gangsta rap slang like "OG". Its like hearing the innocent young mother you met at church talking about the hood.

I’ve been watching. Dark winds on Netflix. It’s pretty good I’m enjoying it.

Cold Mountain…it’s been a while…. For something I enjoyed watching lately? Saw the movie Queen of the Ring on Sunday night (there was only 3 people in the theater, myself included) and it was quite good! You can tell I’m a wrestling fan 😂 You can blame Jim Cornette for that (I learned a lot from him). Looks like you enjoyed yourself in Mexico along with the whole family! I miss Florida already from last year and I hope I can go next year so I can see the Tigers for a Spring Training game…speaking of sports, the Pistons are in, the Red Wings are falling apart, the Tigers are getting ready for the baseball season, and the Lions….we’ll see what happens. MSU on the other hand, basketball outright conference regular season champions! Go Green!

Can't go from Beneath the Planet of the Apes to Conquest of the Planet of the Apes without watching Escape from the Planet of the Apes in between. It helps to explain how the talking apes came into existence.

Lovely photos! Glad you had a great time.

As far as TV recommendations.... if you have Hulu I highly recommend Paradise. Episode 7 in particular is not only the best hour of tv I've watched all year, but if you put another half hour/45 minutes onto it and released it in theaters it would have been one of the best action movies of the last few years.

Great pics, Cassie! The backdrops are beautiful! I’m glad you all had a great time, despite you catching a stomach parasite 😣. Getting away for awhile and decompressing is so necessary, but as Dorothy famously said, there’s no place like home. Looking forward to the March Madness festivities! I enjoyed it so much last year, especially because it gave me my long anticipated reaction to Mr. Holland’s Opus! However you decide to match the movies up with the teams is fine with me. It will be exciting regardless. Looking forward to Conquest…it is one of the better OG Apes movies, but also because it brings you closer to watching the reboots…they’re SO GOOD!!

Question if you don't mind answering, if not all good too! - Did your dad used to have blond hair when he was younger? I got my curly blond hair when I was younger from my grandfather. Not that I quite understand it, but I just find it so interesting how genetics with hair color works.

I've read that 75% of the time we spend with our kids in our lifetime will be spent by age 12 and 90% by age 18. So cherish every moment and every vacation you can! I'm glad you had a nice vacay in Mexico. What a good looking family and your kids look like "mini-mes"

Gene Hackman was in Cold Mountain??

Cold Mountain should be a great reaction.. the other two will be new to my eyes.

Aww thanks for sharing the photos. I actually legit like hearing/seeing about people's vacations. Don't know if that's weird or not. But I appreciate it. Just saw Cold Mountain again over the weekend, and it's definitely a solid movie but way more brutal than I remembered. Very much a war-time type of movie (US Civil War). Renee is especially good in it. Glad you enjoyed Now and Then. Thought you might. For March I personally think 1 seed should be 1-25 most requested, 2 25-50 most requested, 3 50-75 most...etc. Or maybe even 1-50, etc. Let some of those further down the list have a shot. Could also pair well with the Cinderella thing from the tournament.

Looking forward to Cold Mountain. I like that movie. Looks like your oldest will reach your height before long -- after a growth spurt or two.

That's your mom, Cassie? 😂💗 She looks just my own mom did back in the day!

Since St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon will there be another St. Patrick's Day Movie Poll?

You guys all look great, everyone looks like they had an amazing time, and look at how big the kiddos are getting! Enemy Of The State is fun, so I'm looking forward to that. As for March Madness, you should go as random as possible. Could be fun to go top 400 maybe. Really get some random movies on there. Maybe match movies from the top 200 to go up against movies 201 to 400. Heavy Hitters against underdogs? Or maybe draw from the first 100 for half of the teams against 400-499 for the other half of the teams.

Wow! Those kids look just like their Mom! 😋

Get well soon Cassie 🤞🙏❤️

Isn't Saxon just the most annoying nepo baby of all time!? But I can't help but wonder what happens next on TWL

OMG! Your Mom looks GREAT, so happy 🥰. Glad to have you back! (Do your parents have a Pina Colada soda!?!) I'm a huge fan of ticking off that Top 50 list!!! Git to get to the good stuff once in a while! #LuvYaMeanIt

The only film this week that I am really interested in seeing is CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, of which I think it is wise that you're making that the last of the OG sequels you react to (the following one, BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, is awful). When You jump forward, you will see how much this particular entry is an influence on the reboot trilogy. The other two films (COLD MOUNTAIN and ENEMY OF THE STATE) I have seen before and was not particularly enamored of, but maybe I'll give them another try to see if they have improved at all in my eyes. Really can't wait for JFK. I realize that it's 3.5 hour running length is intimidating, but I promise you that It will not feel long at all. That film just crackles with such energy and intensity that it will fly right by. It's innovative use of flashback and exposition It's sure to hold your attention and it has some of the best, most innovative editing I've ever seen in a major motion picture. It is electrifying filmmaking that astounded me (as it did most everyone) when I first saw it in the theater as an adolescent. As I mentioned in my comment on the courtroom drama poll, it was a seminal film in my development as a cinephile and it is still a personal favorite of mine. Definitely take its historicity with a grain of salt, but he prepared to be thoroughly entertained and intellectually challenged at the same time. Looking forward to that reaction.

How about another Basketball movie poll since ‘White Men Can’t Jump’ was a success last year? There are some good ones left: ‘Blue Chips’ (1994) ‘Above The Rim’ (1994) ‘He Got Game’ (1998) ‘The Way Back’ (2020) ‘Hustle’ (2022)

Love the rosy cheekbones

How about the top seeds for each division match the top request for each genre, but everything else is randomly picked?

Enemy of the State is also an awesome Gene Hackman movie!

So bummed you couldn’t get The Conversation in before Enemy of the State… The whole reason Gene Hackman is in Enemy of the State is THE CONVERSATION. Same photos are used, he wears the same outfit, his workshop is pretty much the same…. Basically a sequel without the rights to say as much.

Nice photos! Looking forward to your March Madness PS: “The Searchers”

And to think we were so close to you finally watching collateral.

This is going to be a good weekend....!!!!!! Three bangers. Yes...including Conquest
