Disney's Freakier Friday

Oh no! Here we go again! Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back for another "Freaky Friday" in the long-awaited sequel to the hilarious mother-daughter body-swap comedy that had everyone laughing.

Disney's Freakier Friday

Freakier Friday, the long-awaited sequel of the hit 2003 Disney comedy movie that brings back Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis for another Friday they'll never forget. It's been over two decades since the mother-daughter tandem of Tess (played by Curtis) and Anna Coleman (played by Lohan) endured the body-swap mess. Anna now has a daughter and a soon-to-be-stepdaughter. When the inevitable happened again, how would the mother-daughter tandem deal with this new kind of mess?

This latest mother-daughter body swap misadventure is nothing like what happened in the first movie. Everything's gone HARD MODE for them, but despite the intense difficulty they're facing in this sequel, it's another proof that comedy's still alive, just as hinted at last week's Naked Gun reboot.

Packed with comedy, drama, family values, and classic Freaky Friday moments worth looking back on, this sequel to the hit comedy classic is another must-watch of the summer season. If you remembered watching Freaky Friday from your youth, here's your chance to return with the Colemans for Round 2. Nothing can prepare you for this.

Here we go again...

WEAPONS (movie)

Another month, another thrills-and-chills horror movie hitting cinemas. This time, it's from the studio that brought you horror movie favorites such as The Conjuring series and The Nun. The root cause of children mysteriously running away without reason will be told terrifyingly.

WEAPONS (movie)

Titled "WEAPONS," this twisted horror fairytale is directed by the creator of "Barbarian." The film revolves around the mysterious disappearances of students from Mrs. Gandy's class. One eerie night, at exactly 2:17 AM, the children woke up, got out of bed, went downstairs, opened the front door, and walked into the darkness—never to return.

It's unclear why the movie is titled WEAPONS, but one thing's for sure. In this horror movie, what's harmless can kill you. It could be either an innocent-looking ordinary object around the home or the kids from Mrs. Gandy's class that suddenly vanished on one fateful night. Whatever the reason, this summer horror movie should never go unchecked because of the terrifying moments you would expect in a movie like this.

As the saying goes, don't leave your personal valuables unattended, especially children. This horror movie serves as a stark reminder of what happens when kids run away without a reason. It's another certified "thirlls and chills" summer season movie you wouldn't want to miss.
