The Dancing Queen sequence in the movie "Mamma Mia!" surprised me, even though I was already familiar with the ABBA classic from hearing it countless times on the radio and seeing it in other movies. The way it was performed in the film breathed new life into the song and gave it a fresh energy that left me completely captivated. As I watched the vibrant sequence unfold, I was swept up in its infectious joy and enthusiasm, which made the movie so enchanting.

Every beat of the music seemed to pulse with an undeniable zest, and the choreography radiated an electric enthusiasm that was impossible to resist. It wasn't just a dance routine, but a celebration of life, love, and the sheer exhilaration of being alive. At that moment, I couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness coursing through me, as if the sheer exuberance of the characters on screen had somehow spilled over into my own heart.

Looking back on the experience later, I realized that this sequence captured everything I love about "Mamma Mia!"—its unapologetic embrace of joy and ability to transport audiences to a world where anything is possible. Now, I wish I had watched this film with my mom and sister back in 2008 instead of "The Dark Knight" or at least watched both movies.

KIN: I also watched the 2021 first season of this gloomy Irish crime drama from RTÉ and AMC. It stars Clare Dunne, who's marvelous, and also has Ciarán Hinds, whom I'm always happy to see. Unfortunately, the show also forces me to look at Charlie Cox, whom I can't stand, and prominently features Aidan Gillen, playing an even more insufferable character than his usual, which is saying something; I can't say I was any too fond of Emmett Scanlan and his scraggly B.O. Plenty beard, either. The plot is an agglomeration of gloomy crime drama cliches too dull to be worth summarizing, executed competently but without a single moment of notable dramatic spark. I like Clare Dunne a lot, but her earlier stage roles in Phyllida Lloyd's all-female Shakespeare trilogy (in particular HENRY IV, where Dunne played Prince Hal as a kind of semiferal lesbian fuckboy) are far more edifying, and I'm not sure she's enough to make me want to sit through the second season.

This musical is highly recommended and a must watch! I love how they put a story in ABBA songs. I'm very obsessed with all the songs. I like everything👌. Dancing Queen and Super Trouper are the front tier. Though the storyline is not that great for me because many argued that they messed up in the second installation's timeline, like how unnecessary Cher's character was lol. I also believe that Amanda Seyfried's character could've done better. Meryl Streep was just a versatile actress. Colin Firth is my favorite in all of Sophie's fathers but Bill is the real father as per everyone's prediction. I'm also obsessed with Mamma Mia's theme/motif, the costumes, the people and the place, Greece😭, I really wanted to go there. I badly wanted to have a party or attend a party that plays Mamma Mia's soundtrack with unlimited food, haha SOON! I'm currently waiting in their third part, I really wish that it's not real that they're just going to add like three new songs, oh please add mooooreee.

'The Barbie and Oppenheimer (collectively known as Barbenheimer) phenomenon is currently the talk of the film industry. However, let’s go back to these movies’ predecessors whose success allowed Barbenheimer to happen in the first place.

On July 18, 2008, two films were released simultaneously – Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (this director’s movies have the best release-date partners!) and Phyllida Lloyd’s Mamma Mia!. Just like Barbie and Oppenheimer, both pictures went on to achieve immense commercial success.

The second installment of The Dark Knight trilogy has received critical acclaim, numerous awards and nominations, and fan love. The movie is still regarded as one of the best films of all time. Its box office numbers have only proved it further – Nolan’s dark superhero thriller has made $1.006 billion in theaters against a $185 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year.

While Mamma Mia! may not have been as huge of a deal at the time, it became an instant classic. The lighthearted musical rom-com has received mixed reviews from critics, but audiences have loved it. With a $52 million budget, the movie has managed to make an impressive $694.4 million.

How the times have changed, and yet not really. It is 15 years later, and a similar opposites-attract duo is dominating the box office and pretty much the Internet itself. Nolan’s Oppenheimer has reportedly taken home over $569 million, while Greta Gerwig’s Barbie has already crossed the $1.06 billion mark.

In 2008, people were seemingly more into the superhero genre and darker themes than soundtracked feminism and happy endings, judging by the box office. In 2023, audiences are choosing fantasy feminist satire over atomic biopics. Why, though?

Well, we’ve all heard about the superhero fatigue that has been settling in for years now, but more people have also been open to the conversation about feminism and are now even craving related content, hence Barbie’s popularity. Still, Oppenheimer is a great film even if it doesn’t rank first in ticket sales.

Hopefully, quality cinema will follow Barbenheimer’s success in the months (years?) to come.'
