When tech billionaire Slater King meets cocktail waitress Frida at his fundraising gala, he invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. As strange things start to happen, Frida questions her reality.. We caught up with director Zoë Kravitz and her ensemble cast on the Blink Twice red carpet.. Zoë Kravitz started writing Blink Twice under the original working title Pussy Island in 2017. Kravitz intended he keeping this title for the film but a negative reception from the MPAA, women, and theaters lead to her changing it.. Boa constrictors aren’t venomous so they couldn’t have made snake venom liquor from it.. Frida: Something horrible is about to happen.. Featured in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Channing Tatum/Sabrina Ionescu (2024). Paid the Cost to Be Boss (The Boss)Written by Charles Bobbitt, James Brown & Fred WesleyPerformed by James BrownCourtesy of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Music Inc.. Blink Twice is a fantastic example of a widely used recipe these days, which could be titled "How to Bore Your Audience Into a Brain-Dead State." Sure, the production and cast are solid, and the directing is decent too, but the story lacks momentum. Too many scenes are either a) redundant, b) overstretched, or c) both. The dialogues are mostly just, well, forget about it… That said, Blink Twice is not the worst movie ever, and if you’re a fan of the actors or interested in Zoë Kravitz’s career, you might want to give it a shot. But in my (most humble) opinion, if you’re craving a glimpse into the lives of the ultra-rich, you’re better off watching one of the many reality shows out there (like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Secret Lives of the Super Rich, etc.), which I admit I sometimes watch too – when I’m in the mood for a dose of shiny-sunny-candy-sandy land and want to put my brain on standby. Note: I realize those "reality" shows won’t give you much in the way of violence or murder (at least not yet), but considering that what feels like 98% of Hollywood’s output revolves around those themes, there’s plenty of content to satisfy that kind of sinister craving.
