Hold Up!

🎬 I'm NOT your casual movie reviewer!

I don't do plot overviews or safe, spoiler-free summaries. For that stuff, there's Wikipedia.

What I DO: I share my raw, unfiltered experience and thoughts on movies and TV shows. That means MAJOR SPOILERS could hit you in the very first line of any review.

I talk about films the way you'd chat with a friend who's already seen them. No dancing around plot points. No vague hints. Just honest, spoiler-filled conversation.

You've been warned. Now let's have a real talk about movies! 🍿

Week 4 Announcement

Week 4 announcement artwork for 90's Japanese Crime
Weekly Theme Announcement

Welcome to Our 4th Week: 90's Japanese Crime

Hello everyone! Our lottery paper this week brings us Japanese crime movies from the 90's. Obviously, this theme was written on the little paper by me - Freddy.
Krasnaya is not very happy with what we got; she says that she gets sleepy when she listens to Japanese and has to read subtitles. I think the films selected by me are good despite never having seen any of them, and she might be surprised.

Join us and comment on the movies you've seen. Meanwhile, you can check our theme archive and find new cool movies to watch HERE.
Our blog is updated everyday at 21:00 (WEST).
