I try to review every movie I watch starting from the day I registered on this site. Some reviews might be long, others might be nothing more than the rating. As a new member of this forum I'll explain few things about me and how I will review films in general.
I'm a Finnish man in my 40's so English isn't my first language. I often express myself in very direct and honest way which at times is, unfortunately, mistaken as hostility. When it comes to arts and taste in general I don't believe in any sort of objective values so 1) disagreeing with me is perfectly fine and 2) I don't have any issues bashing a revered classic.
I'm aware that I have a tendency to give rather low ratings on average. I've consciously tried to push myself towards using the full spectrum but I don't always succeed. This means that or better should always be considered as recommended and even might be worth watching. means I didn't finish the movie. All ratings are based solely on subjective enjoyment.

For each movie I'll mark if I've seen it before or if it's a new film for me.
N (or n) = seen for the first time
r = rewatch but last time seen is very long time ago so almost new
R = rewatch
RR = rewatch of a film I've seen multiple times
I try to put recommendations at the end of the review for films that are either similar or deal with similar themes and ideas. If you liked the reviewed film or its topic seems interesting you might wish to check the recommendations as well. Note that recommended movies aren't necessarily great but still interesting on some level. If there aren't recommendations I may add them at later date.
