Fools Gold

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Was amazed by this one! One thing I really like about movies is the sense of seriousness and the fact that movie behaves accordingly to that level of seriousness. This is one of those movies which doesn’t take itself very seriously and it shows! You can see that the actors had a good time making this one. So if you love a good romantic action comedy with a VERY thin storyline then look no further ;)

Street Kings

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

After seeing the cast members and the trailer I was quite keen to watch this one. And.. well.. I was really quite disappointed. Although the story has some funny plot twists, the storytelling wasn’t that good. Loved the acting by Forest Whitaker and Hugh Laurie but unfortunately they couldn’t lift make up for the bad storytelling..

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

The new Indy movie! And what a movie! I really enjoyed every minute of it.. Think that Steven and George did a terrific job at creating the same atmosphere that the previous three indy movies had. Although the story had some similarities with the just recently released National Treasure movie (with the Inca’s and the city of gold stuff), despite that that movie stands in the shadow of this new Indy :) So nothing else to do than recommend to everyone who loves the old movies to watch this one as well..

The Kingdom

Monday, May 19th, 2008

I had this one on my watch list for ages and finally I had the chance to watch it and damnit.. I really wished I saw it earlier! This is a really good movie!

The movie is about an terrorist attack in an American compound within Saudi Arabia and a special team of the FBI who wants to investigate it to try finding a who was behind this attack. Now there are some political games being played between the US and Saudi Arabia and things are not as simple as they seem.

The intro of the movie tells everything about the relationship of these two countries and as you would have guessed it’s very tense.. 

Semi Pro

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Well I’m a big Will Ferrell fan, so I couldn’t wait to see this one. But this movie is really really bad.. most of the times I love the really bad ones but this one even I couldn’t handle. Damnit Will! :(

21

Monday, May 19th, 2008

True story about a couple of MIT students who are lead by their college professor to count cards to make a fortune with blackjack (hence the name ‘21′ ;)) in Vegas.. Nicely filmed, good acting (especially Kevin Spacey and Jim Sturgess) and a good and appealing story!

War Inc

Monday, May 19th, 2008

How should a war look like when instead of the government, a big private corporation runs the show? Well it happens to Turaqistan ;) Now I’m a big fan of the Cusacks (John and Joan) and Dan Akroyd so watching the trailer was enough to get me excited. And most important I love the politically incorrectness of the movie, while touching the things that are going wrong in the world today it does so in a very ‘Soutparkish’ way.

Bank Job

Monday, May 19th, 2008
Movie about the classic bank robbery (although I’ve never heard of it, but then again I’m dutch so who can blame me) in the early 70’s in London. Really like the style of the movie and ofcourse it features Jason Statham plays so pretty cool shit! :)

Horton hears a who

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Finally a decent movie from the Dreamworks studio since Ice Age en Shrek! “Horton hears a who” is about something we all wondered about when we were young (at least I did ;) and that’s about the fact ‘what if the world we are living in is just something very small like dust and or a germ and there is something else out there who looks at us as if we were dust or a germ’. Although I favor the Pixar animation movies, I must say that I was really suprised by this one!

Vantage Point

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

When I saw the trailer I was really psyched to see this movie and this weekend I finally had the opportunity! Dennis Quaid (also one of my favorite actors), Forest Whitaker, Matthew Fox and Sigourney Weaver feature in this movie so can’t be that bad eh? ;) The story is about the American president is being shot in Spain live in front of a huge crowdt and television so the whole world knows what is going on. It’s being told in fragments of roughly 20mins each from a different perspective every time.. making it a very gripping and intense movie to watch! It looks like you are watching the same scene over and over again but every time with another version of the truth.. very well done! :) Some cool plot twists make the movie even more dramatic and it makes you wonder about what’s going on in the world right now..
