Thor: Love and Thunder (★) Zijn er nog Marvel films die niet de hele tijd over-the-top moeten gaan? Deze film is Guardians of the Galaxy in een Thor-jasje. Af en toe grappig maar niet echt mijn ding. C’mon C’mon (★★★½) Een heel mooie film met één van mijn favoriete acteurs, Joaquin Phoenix. Hij speelt een […]
I’ve been a bit dissapointed with the quality of series on streaming platforms. My solution to that: return to great cinema. Here’s ten great movies that were released between 2000 and 2020, in no particular order. Ponyo (2008) – Directed by Hayao Miyazaki Maps to the stars (2014) – Directed by David Cronenberg Boyhood (2014) […]

The big releases of this year were all delayed. I would love to see Dune and the new James Bond. Streaming services that were already on the rise became a primary way of viewing series and films. I find myself juggling subscriptions to Streamz, Disney+ and Netflix to see what I want to see, on […]

I check the cinema offering every week and to be honest, these days the offering is a bit disappointing. Oscar season has ended and not a lot is being released anymore. Cannes just happened but usually those films only land in the cinema much later. So, to get my movie fix, I mostly resorted to streaming this month. You can […]

These are the films I’ve seen in cinema in April 2018. Avengers: Infinity War ★★1/2 After the boringness of Black Panther I wondered for a second what I was doing at another Marvel screening, but I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Pro-tip: if you never saw Age of Ultron and you’re not […]

It’s time for another film roundup. These are the films I’ve seen in cinema in February and March 2018. Phantom Thread ★★★ 1/2 PT Anderson’s best movie in a while. I am definitely going to watch this one again. I’ve seen every Oscar nominee for “Best Picture” besides Darkest hour and this one one should have won […]

As my last film of January I saw The Shape of Water. This is a fantastic movie that is just pure cinema. Some call it a fairytale, some talk about it being a metaphor for the “increasing modern-day non-acceptance of people outside the norm”. Honestly, what I see is Guillermo Del Toro doing what he […]

I was in a screening of The Post. The average age in the room must’ve been higher than 50… probably the people who were alive when all of this happened. This film has gotten some good reviews but it didn’t really do it for me. I didn’t connect with the film at all. There was good imagery and a great […]

Maybe it’s because I am now a recent convert to the Church, or maybe it’s because I am looking for excuses to get my steps per day up, but I’ve been going to the cinema so often, it’s a bit crazy. Just today, I cancelled my Netflix account in a vow to be more picky in what “content I […]

A few days I subscribed to the Kermode podcast. I listened to one very long episode and I already love it. They were talking about Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (★★★), and even interviewed the director Martin McDonagh. Last night I saw this film and I must say it was very, very good. It even surpassed Molly’s […]
