So in the hope of offering a movie a day with a brief take – I’m going to have a bit of fun along the way.

You see, much of my online presence has been a bit muted lately. I still cover TV/Movies and all things entertainment industry on air and with some print publications…but for some reason – i just haven’t taken a lot of time for myself and my online meanderings where I can be a little more unstructured.

I have a million ideas for this site, and what I do, but ever since 2019 have had to pace myself a bit for a number of reasons.

But enough about me … there will be time for that later. More on the personal on my Facebook page.

Last night I got a chance to see Blackpink World Tour (Born Pink) on the big screen and it was truly special.

My daughter had just celebrated her birthday (she’s 20 now) and Kpop music has been her thing
recently. So I knew the band’s music quite well and I’m happy to report this was a quite fun concert film. Playing virtually all of their hits, mainly recorded from their tour’s final show from Seoul the band provided fans with a little over 90 minutes of fun, dancing and maybe a tear or two. 

I’m much too old to be a BLINK (what the band calls their fans) – or am I?

My daughter doesn’t think I am. How You Like That? I had a great time at the show.

On the downside, this wasn’t as crisply edited as the film that featured another Kpop group Aespa from earlier this year and it didn’t go into much of the personal stories from the artists, it was a pure concert film. Since most US fans couldn’t make their handful of concerts that were on this tour, it’s a great way to check them out.

And for those who don’t know, they sell out STADIUMS, not just arenas or concert halls. Some may be the lack of shows but the popularity feels on the level of Taylor Swift worldwide and that’s kind of ironic as Taylor’s concert film really opened the door for other concert films to come to theaters and not just a television outlet. That is amazing and I can’t wait to see more of those artists that can only play the largest venues and have the high (many times well earned) ticket prices be available to smaller markets for $25 or less through the big screen experience.

I’ve rambled enough, but if you the phrase “Blackpink in your area” and hear yourself saying just “Blackpink, Blackpink” you might Ddu-Du Ddu-Du well to see this effort before it leaves theaters during its limited run. BOOMBAYAH!
