Since James is close to basketball as it gets, he watched the movie. The movie had a budget of $4 million but earned as much as $20 million dollar, making it a hit. It is a coming-of-age romantic comedy that had mixed sections from critics and fans alike. However, James had to unwrap some critique on this move while also unloading a ton of laughter. 

The King has been watching a lot of classics these days. Just recently, he was watching Predator, which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger. This movie released in 1987 centers around where the protagonist Major Alan ‘Dutch’ Schaefer, played by Arnold, leads a paramilitary force to take down a technologically advanced alien who is hunting them. The suspenseful movie earned its laurels and earned close to $100 million, which is about six times the estimated budget.
