I met up with 2 girls in the Starbucks on Leicester Square, and after some text communication about what we looked like, we found each other. We were going to see Prime. Prime was actually quite fun to watch, a real girls night out film, and if you love films like Love Actually you probably […]

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

X-Men: The Last Stand
I haven’t seen all X-Men films. I saw the first one when it came out, and wanted to see the last one, because of Ian McKellen. He is cool as the powerful carcrushing Magneto. And I happen to like slightly nerdish high tech films like these. It is […]

I read the book before the film, and I was glad I did. Without a little bit of background info, the film would have been even more confusing. I liked the first 75% of the book a lot, after that I felt the book faded out. I liked the last 25% of the film, the […]

Notting Hill Coronet - Cinema, London

The first time I popped up from Notting Hill Gate station, I was disappointed. I had expected to see the market, and the house with the blue door. And maybe even run into Hugh Grant, spilling his orange juice on my Love Actually t-shirt. But then, you might say I […]

Well you probably don’t want to hear more about elephants, so let’s talk about another favourite subject of mine : English actors. And don’t worry, it is not about him this time.
Confetti is the new British mockumentary that follows three couples as they battle it out to win the title of `Most Original Wedding […]

And you thought I hadn’t been in the cinema lately ?
American Dreamz
Did this guy really make About a boy too ? (Well done film, one of the few films where Hugh Grant actually shows he can act). American Dreamz is the worst collection of cliches and cheap jokes. Absolutely rubbish.
Lucky Number Slevin
I just don’t […]

V for Vendetta
Tagline: A shadowy freedom fighter known only as V uses terrorist tactics to fight against his totalitarian society. Upon rescuing a girl from the secret police, he also finds his best chance at having an ally.
To be honest, I had no intentions of seeing this film, I thought it was […]

Tagline : Six days in the violent life of a young Johannesburg gang leader (Tsotsi).
Now here is a beautiful movie : Tsotsi. This movie won the Oscar for best foreign film, and even though that isn’t a guarantee for anything, in this case it is well deserved. The story might be on the edge […]

Viktorrrrr …
Underworld Evolution
Why you might want to see it:
Lots of vampires drinking blood
Lots of people-become-a-werewolf scenes
Kate Beckinsale in a latex suit
Scot Speedman as a werewolf
And seriously beautiful colours, very blueish.

Sometimes you run into a movie, and it just blows you away. The Girl In The Cafe was one (oh really ? Yeah you didn’t know that did you) and today I saw Beyond the Sea. And if I didn’t already have a slight crush on Kevin Spacey, I certainly would have one now. Beyond […]

Good Night, and Good Luck heeft al een hoop prijzen gewonnen, is ook genomineerd voor een Golden Globe, en deze film maaide een hoop prijzen weg uit de tuin van The Constant Gardener bij het Filmfestival in Venetie . Helaas, en misschien ook niet helemaal terecht.
Maar filmtechnisch is ie mooi, in zwart wit, mooie close […]

Mrs. Henderson Presents vertelt het verhaal van Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) die na de dood van haar man een theater in London koopt en dit opent als the Windmill, een theater dat de geschiedenis in gaat als het theater met revues met naakte dames. Als een soort Engelse pendant voor de Moulin Rouge in Parijs. […]

Wat ? Elisabethtown ? Een film met Orlando Bloom ? Ben je ‘m vrijwillig gaan kijken ?
Ja ja ik weet het, maar ik was in London, en ik kon me niet echt concentreren op andere zaken. En ik had zin in een film waar ik niet na hoefde te denken. En heee Cameron Crowe […]

The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy - Marvin and Arthur Dent on Margrathea

I know you are waiting for my opinion about The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, the movie. So here it is.
Since this was a preview, there were people in bathing gowns, and on ever chair in the cinema there was a towel.
A towel… […]

The Girl In The Cafe is part og the Makepovertyhistory.org project.
And you can’t get away from it, this film has a political message too. Quite an important one.
If you don’t like that in a film, don’t worry, focus on the fantastic acting performance of Bill Nighy. In Love Actually I found him slightly odd, but […]
