Double Movie Walrus

    What is Double Movie Walrus?

    Double Movie Walrus, is a game where you will submit movies to the hosts, the movies will be watched, judged and ranked by said hosts from worst to best.
    The winner will be the player who accumulates the most points through 5 rounds of scoring.

    There will be 2 hosts, each judging 2 categories independently and 1 category together.

    The why.


    Mick: I like to watch movies, but feel like I haven't seen anything great in a while, I'm hoping for some gems I've never seen before that I never would land on in my life organically. I'm also interested in seeing what it is like to be a movie critic. But mainly Kolido told me I had to :P

    Kolido: As a movie lover, I tend to watch a lot, well at least when I get a chance. All too often I find myself saying that was a waste of my time. If my own judgement can't serve me well, why not put my viewing schedule in your hands. Watching movies, having fun, best of both worlds.

    What kind of movies are we into

    Mick: I like movies that make me feel, from happy to sad and everything in between I want it all and if its all in the 1 movie even better. I'm a fan of a good twist but bear in mind i've seen lots of the popular ones so they may not appeal to me as much on a rewatch. But I have a broad enough interest in most genres, straight out comedy's, horrors, war films would need to go above and beyond to score well with me. If you submit something with sub-titles and its not the best thing ever. I will find you and I will eat your face and not in the cool kind of way either.

    O and just in case I can't handle **** acting

    Kolido: It's probably quicker explaining what I don't like. Rom coms, comedies, and musicals are movies I would avoid. Probably dramas also. Now saying that, I could be surprised with any of those genres in one of movie. Genres I tend to watch mostly are horror, thriller, and mystery. As my categories will suggest, I a big fan the 80s, not just movies but most 80s pop culture. If you want really impress me, I love film noir, especially the classic period and I'm partial to a good western. Bear in mind though, I've seen most of the classic film noirs and the more popular westerns, thats not to say a rewatch will be a bad thing.


    Categories

    Mick

    1 Films based on a true story

    I'm not looking for a documentary, but films based even loosely around a true story can pull me in more then most.

    2 A film that stunned you emotionally

    Pick me a film that just left you using expletives for days after about how good it was and how much it moved you

    Kolido

    1 Back to the 80s

    I just love the 80s in general, but movie wise, its probably my favourite decade. So many greats to pick from, horrors, action, even comedies. I will have seen most of the famous movies but I dont mind rewatching. Pick your favourite and lets see if I agree.

    2 Hidden Gems

    I've been trying to find these for years, and have found quite a lot. Of course, I'm sure there are lots still out there. Don't worry if I've already saw the movie, it will not affect my judgement. But I would like to see movies here which are not Hollywood blockbusters and ones that not many know about.

    Together

    Just submitted my entries!

    Guys can I just say I really love that this about movies, I never really get the music walrus because as you know I’m musically challenged but movies are a big deal for me and I’ve enjoyed so much doing to research for these categories.

    I really hope you enjoy the movies and see and feel in them what I do :)

    In my search I’ve found eleven movies I’ve never seen before and now plan to watch so win for me! And I can’t wait to see what everyone else chooses and get some more to add to the list :D

    I know I’ll definitely remember a film or two now in the next couple of days and be raging I didn’t enter it but I didn’t want to take any longer for fear is not getting a look in :pac:

    I never participate in the music walrus, because I hate the idea of anyone judging my music. Bit of a music snob me!

    But this, I might give it a go, I'll try to get some movies in by 2moro, hopefully in time.
