Movie Rants

My love for movies is a great one; therefore, I've dedicated a bit of time to loving, hating and, above all, analyzing them in this corner of the internets. Don't be afraid to leave a comment, even if you don't know me. I don't bite, you know, and we may even start an interesting debate :3

The background is made by me from various posters and, if you're wondering - yes, I've seen all of the movies whose posters it's made from C: I also write book reviews when I happen to read something new...which doesn't happen too often but still: check out my awesomeness!

Note: no or minimal spoilers included. Big spoilers are flagged like this and don't take away from the review if you don't read them.

By year: 1981 | 1990 | 1993 | 1994 | 2001 | 2002 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2015

Other sections
PicReviews - sometimes, images are better than text.
Two-Paragraph Reviews - bite-size appreciation or bitching.
Soundtrack Spotlights - music that's not just music. It's magic.

Trope checklist, engage! See it here and laugh with me!

Check all that apply:
[ ] quiet, mousy, has-no-hobbies, unfashionable-but-slightly-hipsterish girl who eventually comes out of her shell
[ ] tall, dark and handsome guy
[ ] pure girl x hedonistic guy. Guy ends up kinkifying girl, girl ends up "spiritually purifying" guy.
[ ] guy works in a corporation, probably on the 40th floor, in a huge office with windows for walls and nothing blocking the view
[ ] guy is stinking rich
[ ] guy is interested in/excels in both business and the arts
[ ] guy either frowns or cocks one eyebrow (heh, "cocks")
[ ] guy's face appears more often than the girl's
[ ] at least 3 consecutive seconds of intense staring and double entendres
[ ] slow, sensual music building up
[ ] sexual tension out the yin-yang
[ ] guy goes shirtless at some point
[ ] girl is always covered up (clothes, sheets etc.) - 'cept that one time her back is visible for a split second
[ ] quick collage of images/snippets of scenes at some point
[ ] trailer goes on for a minute longer than it should
[ ] trailer reveals roughly 80% of the movie

A comment on YT: "All the women want to watch this, now my girlfriend is gonna be obsessing over this and im gonna end up getting dragged to the movies to watch this and then be compared to whoever the main guy is...again thank you for fvcking up my day"
Lmao.

Nothing can top Ellen Degeneres reading it, though.

Note that I haven't read the books, but I probably will. I hear they're hilariously bad erotica. ("secret gardens"? really?)
