Movie Walrus: LeVar Goes to the Pictures

How It Works:

Movie Walrus works similar to Music Walrus, where the host decides the categories and the players submit their choices via PM based on the same.

Then when the host has watched and scored the categories, there will be a grand reveal and points will be awarded, certain films ripped to shreds and others praised wrongly or rightfully so, because as with music film tastes are subjective, and I'm all over the shop in what I like and don't like (but not gonna give anything away... )

Why Am I Doing This?

Well for starters, I used to review films professionally back in the day so it will be interesting to do something like this. I also don't care about how much high praise everyone else gives a film, I was always honest in my reviews and if it wasn't for me it wasn't for me, and likewise I often praised films that were critically panned by others.

Secondly, I used to go to the cinema a lot, and would happily go on my own on the spur of the moment in the middle of the afternoon, but given the current global pandemic, I haven't been able to do that, so this will hopefully make up for that.

When I mention that I was a film reviewer and have an interest in films, people tend to assume I know and have seen all the films and especially the classics, but that isn't always the case, and as long as its a good one I'm always happy to re-watch a film I've seen before over and over again anyway, so don't worry too much about what I may or may not be familiar with when making your selections...

The Categories:

1. The Horror ; I don't scare easy, but I love a good Horror, Slasher or Teen Scream all the same, so that's all I want here, something that will hopefully have me cowering behind the couch and jumping at every little sound for days after, or at the very least sitting at the edge of my seat shouting angrily at the stupidity of the characters on screen.

2. The Comedy ; I'm sure I've probably mentioned my four years working as a Stand-Up Comedian (back in my early-mid twenties) here before, so needless to say I enjoy a good laugh, so hit me with your favourite comedy films for this one.

3. The Documentary ; I'm a sucker for a true (and often unbelievable) story, so documentaries tend to go down well with me, yet are often the hardest to get recommendations on, so show me what you got.

4. The Great Film with a Killer Soundtrack ; so in this one I'll be ranking both the overall film (the story, the acting, etc.) and the soundtrack, so there'll be more points on offer here than in the other categories. I definitely think an epic soundtrack can elevate a lackluster film and vice versa, but I really want the best of the best here, so both aspects should be great as far as you're concerned and I'm sure I'll definitely be disagreeing heartily with some of them, such is the fun of Walrus...

Sumbissions and Deadlines

Send me a PM with your choices (1 film per category, for those unfamiliar with how Walrus works) and please provide IMDB links to the film (just to make sure I watch the right one). Also make it clear which category you're submitting each film for to avoid any confusion.

I don't want to set any limits on how many people can enter, because that sucks, but obviously the more there is the longer it will take to get around to the reveal, and I want to get started straight away, so instead of a limit, it's gonna be a 48 hour deadline.

Get your submissions in by 1pm on Monday November 2nd

Best of luck, b*tches!
