Warning as this review has a bit of a spoiler.
I Carry You with Me is a rare film that’s both intimate and epic. A beautifully poetic film that spans decades and countries in telling a love story between two men, Iván and Gerardo. The film is a hybrid, somewhere between documentary and drama as it depicts the decades long love story. Read more
“Zola” is based on the “Grand Literature” of these Modern Times. In other words, the movie is based on a Tweet. More like a Tweet avalanche of story beats posted over an epic weekend. It told of a “girl’s trip for fun and sun” to Tampa. Except that the fun and sun turned into debasement and debauchery. It went from Pole Dancing to Prostitution.

Just about everything you see in 12 Mighty Orphans you’ve seen before and you’ve seen done better. Read more
“The Hitmans’s Wife’s Bodyguard” goes back to the starting point, which is the previous movie called “The Hitmans’s Bodyguard”. So there was a Hitman, who once made a Hit on the Bodyguard’s client. This ruined the Bodyguard’s career and reputation. Then the Bodyguard was called on to protect that same Hitman. Also the Wife of the Hitman was involved and the story went absolutely bonkers. It was quite an R-Rated Romp with a Ruckus Resulting from these Ridiculous Rascals.
