The Ultimate Move Quiz Answers

1. B. Three Thousand Years of Longing
When Sugar Lump, the lead concubine in Ibrahim’s harem slips and falls, her naked tuchis smashes the bottle where the Djinn (Idris Elba) had been imprisoned for over a thousand years. The Djinn thanks Ms. Lump by granting her three wishes, one of which doesn’t work out so well for Mr. Djinn who isn’t a fan of items being put back into bottles.

2. A. The Fabelmans
When young Steve Spielberg’s Jewish family moves to Northern California, he is greeted at school with antisemitic taunts. However, deeply religious Monica takes an interest in Steve and invites him into her bedroom which is filled with crosses and Jesus figures. At first, young Steve is a bit apprehensive, but once Monica assures him that Jesus was a sexy handsome Jewish boy just like him, he becomes very comfortable with Jesus as he “prays” with Monica.

3. A. Marcel the Shell with Shoes on
Marcel is a one-inch shell in search of his family. Lesley Stahl is willing to help. I am hopeful that Marcel can land a role in the upcoming Paddington Bear movie because the two of them would be best buddies and box office gold.

4. A. Knock at the Cabin
I do not like camping. I will not sleep outside. I will not sleep in a tent. And after watching this thoroughly enjoyable thriller, I will not sleep or go anywhere near a cabin.

5. C. House Party
While Lebron James is away at a meditation retreat, cleaning company workers Kevin and Damon decide to throw a blowout party at his mansion. Unfortunately, things get slightly out of control when the neighbor’s koala bear gets high and Lebron returns from his retreat early. Fortunately, Lebron decides to forgive after reading a special poem from Kid Cudi.

6. A. Ghosted
Netflix showered Jennifer Lopez and other stars with mass quantities of money and then challenged them to make the worst movies possible. Jennifer complied with Shotgun Wedding, but put a little more effort into Mother.

7. C. Tetris
Who knew that this game’s origin story was such a spy thriller?

8. A. A River Runs Through It
A River Runs Through It
won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography.

9. A. A Man Called Otto
Tom Hanks stars in this uplifting tale of a man who tries to commit suicide by hanging himself, by carbon monoxide poisoning and finally by throwing himself in front of a speeding train. After reconciling with his neighbors, he dies of a heart attack. Oh, he also beats up a clown in a hospital waiting room.

10. C. My Octopus Teacher
The Octopus in this documentary crammed a ton of adventure into its short one-year life. Incredibly, we get to witness it all though amazing underwater video that features shark battles, playtime with other fish and even an amorous adventure with a fellow Octopus.
