Theme Week Wrap-Up (Week 9)

Theme Week Wrap-Up Week 9 Wrap-Up Hello dear visitors! Phew! I made it. I was able to survive 5 days straight of Xavier Dolan movies. πŸ˜‚ Top Pick of the Week Tom at the Farm (2013) The only movie of the week that fully worked for me and the one I clearly recommend. Ranked Board Below we have this week's movies ordered from best to worst. #1 of the Week Tom at the Farm (2013) Our Score: 79/100 The only movie of the week that fully worked for me and the one I clearly recommend. Hitchcockian tension from a director who doesn't usually go there — I hope Xavier watches more Hitchcock and brings us more thrillers like this. I'm adding Hitchcock to the movie raffle because of him. #2 of the Week I Killed My Mother (2009) Our Scor...

Week 9 Theme Announcement

Weekly Theme Announcement Welcome to Our 9th Week: Xavier Dolan Special Hiya everyone! So, this week's theme is dedicated to Xavier Dolan. This is what we got in our raffle, a director chosen by Krasnaya... obviously. Krasnaya chose this director because of the movie Mommy (2014) , which we watched back in 2016, and because she wanted to piss me off. Check our review here . I think we're going to see a lot of gay stuff and listen to music that makes my stomach hurt. I would like to make it clear that I'm not homophobic; adults should do whatever the hell they want to do sexually with other HUMAN ADULTS . I'm also fine with them being married, being on TV, raising children, whatever. BUT, I don't like to see male homo "stuff" in front of me. Sorry gay dudes, you are usually very attractive people, but when you are doing your sexual stuff with others, I make a grimace. I can't help it...
