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! 🍿

#2 of the Week
Monday (2000)
Our Score: 72/100

Probably one of his best movies from his early years and really worth a watch for its quirky dark sense of humor.
Dancing Mary Review - Click Here
#3 of the Week
Dancing Mary (2019)
Our Score: 55,5/100

A really funny movie for me (Krasnaya didn't like it very much). It has lots of style and I found it very original.
Dead Run Review - Click Here
#4 of the Week
Dead Run (2005)
Our Score: 49,5/100

A very depressing movie without SABU's usual dark humor. 2005 was a weird year for him.

#5 of the Week
Hold Up Down (2005)
Skip This One

Should be completely avoided because it is really bad. The worst of the week with no debate possible.
