If it is the latter, then I am both relieved and hopeful that it too will quickly fade from my memory as well. If it is the former, there is nothing in this hacky and brutally bland piece of product that makes me feel as if I missed anything. I suppose I should confess up front that I do not recall anything about the original 2016 film, except for a moment in which a cartoon pig voiced by Reese Witherspoon briefly sings Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off.” This means that either I never actually saw the original or I did and, aside from that one bit, managed to completely escape my mind in the interim. So many films out there to choose from but after a few moments of idle speculation, our hapless protagonist is jolted back to their hellish reality and ends up uttering the terrifying words that I fear will be said far too often this season-“Okay kids, let’s go see “Sing 2.”” Raves for the lovely “ Licorice Pizza” certainly make that one seem enticing, for example, as does the combination of William Shakespeare, Joel Coen, Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand in “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” They might be curious to see how “ The Matrix Resurrections” reboots that franchise for a new age and if their tastes are a bit on the racier side, “ Red Rocket” might be just the thing. Picture, if you will, an ordinary adult-type person who has decided to spend a couple of hours over the holidays taking in a new movie and is going over the listings to see what is playing at the local multiplex. Christmas-themed horror stories are perennially popular so allow me to offer up a brief but terrifying vignette along those lines.
