I watched it, and I love reading your reviews, but god didn’t award me with writing skills and both you and Con do a wonderful job in reviewing those. I watched all movies so far! This one is a 3/5 for my taste. Starts amazingly well, and starting from the fight between them it loses interest. It was a good choice, I had never seen it and it is a movie that is worth seeing and least once in your life. 

See, I liked hearing your opinion :) 

You don't need to write any more than that if you don't want to.

My nomination comes from my SkyQ box (set top satellite de-coder). For last month's films I wanted to check how easily available they were. So I asked SkyQ if the film I was considering, Bitch Slap, was available via Sky's pay per view or other service it is connected to. Not surprsingly it wasn't available, but it made an alternative suggestion, "Why not try Romantic Comedy". I don't think it understood what type of film Bitch Slap is. But anyway that is my nomination

Romantic Comedy

This is the XDBX FILM CLUB....not XDBX WRITING CLUB!!!! we aren't here to judge each other's writing skills, my brothers and sisters!! We are here to watch and share!!! I try and keep my thoughts short but then I just start writing what im thinking. Sometimes, I do take notes, so that helps me at the minimum, to have something to say about a part of the film I liked or disliked. I mean, there are no wrong reviews and no wrong opinions. Take my Halloween (2018) review, I hated that film, but if anyone else liked it, I sure hope my review didnt stop them from posting about why they liked or even loved that film, and I would have to respect that and thankfully, I love the craft, so I always find something I like about it. 

So please, people...you dont have to post some structured or formatted review like Lime and I do. Borrow the Good, Bad, and Ugly format I stole from someone else if you arent good at putting your thoughts on the page. Also would highly recommend to take notes of moments that stood out so when the film is done and you dont get to coming around to reviewing for a few days, you wont forget most of what you watched or how you felt about scenes. This is happening to me with A Serbian FIlm review, I waited so long that I have to rewatch some of it to remind me of how i felt because I wasnt writing notes when I watched it.  

And I will be watching THEY LIVE!! tonight, i have it all set up and ready to go. Sadly, I had to work today or I would have watched it this morning. I like watching my XDBX film assignments in the morning.

My August genre nomination is:  Danny Boyle Films

happy danny boyle GIF by The Academy Awards

@Smurf we are taking August genre nominations!!! So you can submit one of your own, if the genre is already voted for, its no problem, it will just get multiple chances to win on the wheel. Once the genre is selected, then you can submit a film in the category that has won.

I'm definitely slacking on the film club front but I'm definitely NOT losing interest. Summer is not the best time for me as I'm alone all day with the baby and I have a ton of TV shows to catch up on :D 

But I'll try to fit at least one movie each month. Promise ! 

My pick for august is

Fantasy ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♂️?‍♂️??️⚔️?️????

Jeff Schwarzenegger, the 50s western actor?

maybe Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of a former californian politician? But that is only one movie...

 

 

sidenote: "Rock What You've Got: Secrets to Loving Your Inner and Outer Beauty from Someone Who's Been There and Back", by Katherine Schwarznegger... Feels fake right?

Roger that. Spin Sequence Set For Tomorrow.

Lime, I think Danny Boyle has a film in each of the genres submitted except Arnie. :D And I just realized that the film DC suggested I watch, Twin Town (filmed in Swansea) was also directed by Danny Boyle!!! That movie is hilarious!!!
