Movie night

**Pillion** Harry Lighton's film follows a young man, Colin (Harry Melling), who meets Ray, a mysterious man who frequents a gay bikers' club. A spark of attraction develops between them, and as their sexual relationship deepens, an inevitably one-sided love begins to emerge. https://youtu.be/b0zJwQuLFuA?is=9em_AmkD-4AhZmqj **Is it worth watching?** 🟢🟢🟢🟢 * Alexander Skarsgård is excellent in the role, even better than I expected. * He provides a great contrast to Harry Melling, who is incredibly expressive. * Strong chemistry between the leads. * The BDSM aspect is handled quite well. * I really liked the ending chosen by the screenwriter; it worked for me. * Surprisingly emotional, largely thanks to Melling's performance. * It's less a story of sexual awakening and more a journey of romantic self-discovery. * A bold story to bring to the screen 👏. * Despite its explicit nudity, it never feels vulgar. 🔴🔴🔴🔴 * The ending and some of the characters' decisions may disappoint certain viewers. * The ending also felt a little rushed to me, though not enough to be distracting. * I think the film's marketing is somewhat misleading, which may work against it. * From a directing standpoint, it's simply okay 🤷‍♂️. **Freakier Friday** Twenty-two years after stepping into each other's lives, Tess and Anna discover that the phenomenon might happen again. Is this just another unnecessary sequel, or does it bring something new to the table? https://youtu.be/IyJzhtJEtoU?is=tq9wxeU2i3yppoXn 🟢🟢🟢🟢 * The cast seems to have had a great time filming, and it shows. * Jamie Lee Curtis is always a plus in any movie she appears in 😉. * Unnecessary, perhaps, but at least it's charming. It's an easy and enjoyable watch. * It really finds its rhythm in the second half. 🔴🔴🔴🔴 * I've never held Lindsay Lohan in particularly high regard as an actress, and this film doesn't change my mind 🤷‍♂️. * It contains all the expected clichés of the genre. * It follows pretty much the same formula as the original movie. * For the most part, the screenplay feels uninspired. * There are very few surprises. * The first half hour is pretty meh. * I can't say I was particularly impressed by the humor. * It probably should have been released directly to streaming.
