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 9 Wrap-Up

Xavier Dolan Week

Hello dear visitors!
Phew! I made it. I was able to survive 5 days straight of Xavier Dolan movies. πŸ˜‚

This is a director that definitely doesn't suit my taste. Still, the guy managed to make a movie that I really like and would recommend anyone to watch it. That's Tom at the Farm. I hope that Xavier watches more hitchcockian movies and brings people some other thrillers with his usual themes. I'm adding Hitchcock to our movie raffle because of him.

I also enjoyed I Killed My Mother, mainly because it reminded me of my own relationship with my mother. I think this is a very honest movie that deserves a watch.

It's Only the End of the World is OK, there isn't much going on. I would call it a fast forgettable movie.

The Death & Life of John F. Donovan is absolutely dreadful. A crap movie, no debate possible.

Matthias & Maxime I did a light homophobic (no harm intended) review and didn't rate it. It's not my place. I think Xavier Dolan forgot the straight guys out there and made a movie exclusively for an LGBT audience. 

Anyone reading my reviews on these gay-themed movies, I ask you not to be offended. I'm a straight guy and I might feel uncomfortable with some stuff, but you got my full support. Just go out there and do your stuff and be proud of being more courageous than most people.

I'm also having my revenge soon on Krasnaya by having a Steven Seagal week here at Cine It. πŸ˜›

Below we have these week's movies ordered from best to worst.
