Hold Up!

๐ŸŽฌ 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! ๐Ÿฟ

About this Blog

About the Critic

The mind behind CineIt Blog

Freddy from Cine It isn't just a movie reviewer. He is the movie reviewer. The world's greatest, actually. Some say his opinions are so insightful that Hollywood directors secretly refresh his blog, waiting for validation. Others believe his words hold the power to make or break a film's legacy. Martin Scorsese once nodded in approval (probably).

With multiple (self-awarded) honors in cinematic critique, including the Golden Popcorn Quill for Excellence in Movie Rambling and the Prestigious Couch Potato Award, Freddy has dedicated his life to dissecting films with unmatched precision and an unshakable sense of humor.

Occasionally, guest reviewers join him, but let's be honest, they don't quite match his level of genius. They try. Bless them.

Mr. Director, got a movie you want reviewed? Want Freddy's legendary insight on your favorite film? Shoot an email to freddyscineit@gmail.com but only if you're ready for the truth.

The Real Story

All joking aside, CineIt Blog is simply the product of a genuine passion for cinema. I created this space to share my thoughts on films across all genres, from mainstream blockbusters to obscure independent productions, bringing a conversational approach to movie criticism.

My goal is to make film discussion accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether you're a casual moviegoer or a dedicated cinephile. Through theme weeks, curated lists, and honest reviews, I hope to help you discover films worth your time and engage with cinema in new ways.

I truly appreciate you visiting, and I welcome your suggestions, comments, and film recommendations at freddyscineit@gmail.com.

Cinanima Festival - 9th November

My Last Day at Cinanima (With Eva) For my second and, ridiculously, last day (lol) in Espinho for the 49ยบ Cinanima Festival, I took my daughter Eva to the Family Screening. This one was called "Mini Micro," a selection of short animations put together by Casa de Animaรงรฃo, held on November 9th at the Centro Multimeios.

But for now, I'm just doing my own little competition here at Cine It. ๐Ÿ˜› So, here's the full list of the shorts we saw, ranked from my favorite to my least favorite. ๐Ÿ“… A Quick Note By the time I'm posting this, the festival is still running (it ends on November 23rd).
