    We Will Go

    ★★½

    Hmmmmm 

    Sorry I was thinking about my intro. 

    It got the potential to be a good film but never reach that goal. Some great lines here and there, few good shots. But the overall is quite average. Color grading completely suck sometimes, some shots look like Deadpool and Wolverine (yeah I’m going to mention this one every time I don’t like something.)

    ★★★★★

    On Thursday, I was talking with a pal about how fantastic and underrated is Memento. Two days later, I sent him a photo of me rewatching it. His answer : « Oh man, first time watching? »

    He’s got this condition… Just messing with you, he was drunk as fuck.
