위민 토킹
This was my second movie of the day with a pretty heavy theme and excellent and convincing performances in a quite sober setting. Some interesting topics are discussed, and it is shown that there is no black and white in life. A truly amazing movie that leaves a big impression but that most probably isn’t for everyone. Need to read the book now!

Wow…I’m still processing. Brendan Fraser delivers an incredible performance,I just don’t have the words to describe it. You really feel his character’s pain, he’s so genuine and likable, despite his flaws, you can’t but feel empathy and love. Everybody in the movie theater was sniffing. Hong Chai was incredible too, really genuine as well. A heart wrenching must see movie.

Though there are reviewers who liked the acting, especially compared to other Dutch movies, for me the acting didn’t feel natural, it was still very much “ acting” (except for Rutger Hauer of course, excellent performance). On top of that the story doesn’t represent what truly happened (I didn’t know that beforehand). It did manage to pique my interest though so I’ll be reading some books on the kidnapping and on Holleeder’s life. 0

How I loved Whitney Houston, her voice, her songs. I experienced quite a lot of goosebumps in the day, listening to her music. And how shocked I was when I heard of her death…so young… So yeah, obviously I shed quite some tears watching this movie, also because of the great acting, Tamara Tunie in particular. I truly felt her pain. Naomi did an excellent job as well, though for me she was slightly less convincing. I have to admit this might be due to a wrong image I have of Whitney, but I just felt less sympathy for Naomi, perhaps because to me her expression is…don’t really know how to express it, less open and warm…? But obviously a great movie nonetheless, I keep thinking about it. 0

Though I can’t remember much about the previous Charlie’s Angels, apparently I liked it (gave it 7/10). Maybe the movie was truly different from this one or I was in another “fase” of my life… This one just wasn’t really for me. I loved the tv series and it kind of hurt watching this so called funny, over the top movie…

Watched the first half yesterday, it was so so. Not particularly original or entertaining. But today I decided to watch the second half nonetheless and I’m happy I did. It was funny, sweet and entertaining. Laughed out loud a couple of times (making my cat jump) and loved the sweet ending. Maybe I would’ve given it 7/10 stars had I watched it in one go, but I loved this second half so much, I have to give it 8/10. Edit: on second thought, changed it back to 7/10 0
나일 강의 죽음
A dramatic mystery or maybe even better to classify it as a mysterious drama/romance.
I’m going to be honest: if I hadn’t read any Agatha Christie’s Poirot and if I hadn’t watched any episode with David Suchet portraying Poirot, I might’ve liked this movie (a little bit) better. Although I do agree with the reviewers who have stated that the setting feels “out of time”; it’s all too modern.
But above all, Poirot as well as Bouc feel totally, completely, utterly out of character. And wow, that hurt, really bad….
And then there’s Hammer whose acting I’ve never liked; nothing feels natural, it all feels fake, you just see him acting instead of living it.
So yeah, trying to forget this is a Hercule Poirot, I’ll be generous and give it 5/10.

Loved this movie! As a fan of old fashioned cozy British murder mysteries I couldn’t but love this comedy-mystery/mystery-comedy. A whodunnit about whodunnits with some mystery, some humor, some great actors, nostalgic atmosphere, nice film set design and great editing. Very enjoyable and entertaining!

An atmospheric mix of horror, drama and romance. Loved the storyline showing both youths’ internal conflicts about (not) being a good person while trying to live their lives and just survive. Liked the overall movie but not the end. It was like all of a sudden I was watching a whole different movie… Too bad!

아마겟돈 타임
A lot (of real life issues) going on in this movie and as a result nothing really gets fleshed /worked out very well. Or at least, not as well as it could’ve been. It’s still a good movie with important topics though.
There’s this family, supposedly rich, at least in the eyes of the MC, but in reality not well off at all. A so called close family according to some reviewers (based off on them eating together) but in reality not really close at all. A so called ill behaved little brat, until we find out he’s being physically abused and may have a learning disability (which apparently makes him a let down to his parents). And there’s the MC’s friend dealing with racism and everything that comes with it.
Problems, which indeed do not occur only in this family or just incidentally (as some reviewers have pointed out). Unfortunately there are a lot of families facing all kinds of problems. There are a lot of people having to deal with racism too. So does that mean those aren’t suitable as themes for a movie? Is the message that this movie is trying to portray “Life is not fair”? Imho: no and no. As Hopkins says: “It is hard, but you have to keep fighting! You can’t give in/give up.” I believe thát is the message.

Very fun movie, interesting plot/theory, likable characters, decent special effects. Yes, of course suspension of disbelief is required, as is with most of these disaster/save the world movies but the over the top moments didn’t make me roll my eyes but rather they made me grin. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Very interesting and engrossing documentary with a good setup. Remarkable are some of the comments from people with apparently no empathy at all. Though maybe those are all from people who didn’t watch the entire documentary. It’s so easy to say “It would never happen to me”, until it does. Seen it so many times… The end broke my heart: 5 months in jail and back to living his old life…. 0

Gripping movie and well acted. It’s definitely a movie, and the story centers around Sara, with the side characters being exactly that: side characters. But they are side characters which support the MC’s story and there own traumas touch on Sara’s, helping them heal as well. Usually I’m complaining about a movie being too long, but not here. Maybe not a perfect movie, but very well done indeed.

Thought I’d would be another Perfect Housewives but it had a nice twist and posted some interesting questions so definitely enjoyed it. Just the end didn’t make much sense as Alice had already been there, apparently without Jack knowing, so that could/should’ve led her to the exit already…

게드전기: 어스시의 전설
Watched the movie after reading books 1-3 and was surprised how much was changed. This doesn’t have to be a problem (like Ready Player One) but in this case it felt like it was missing something. My buddy watchers think it missed context and background information. Though I’m not sure, that might be it. Enjoyed it nevertheless, but can’t give it more than 6/10 stars.
