Movie roundup

May 2nd, 2006

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 [...]

Tsotsi (8.5/10)

March 29th, 2006

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 [...]

Rumor Has It… (5/10)

January 25th, 2006

Trust me, Rumor Has It, doesn’t have it – at all. Jennifer Aniston, well, as David Brent would say – Next ! And Kevin Costner is ok, but the script is far from interesting enough to hold my attention for longer than 5 minutes. I normally would have skipped this film, but sometimes you just [...]

Memoirs of a Geisha (8/10)

January 23rd, 2006

Well this film has been nominated for both Bafta’s Golden Globes and will probably also be nominated for Oscars. It’s a big production, but I have to say it is so beautifully [...]

Brokeback Mountain (9/10)

January 7th, 2006

Brokeback Mountain I have been thinking about what it is that made this film so special. Well the fact that it is about a lovestory between 2 cowboys in the USA is quite original. And controversal, and as far from mainstream as you can get. All good ingredients for an interesting film. And their love [...]

I found The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a bit boring. Maybe you should not compare the film to the Harry Potter movies, but if you do, Harry Potter is a lot more interesting to watch. Probably because the Narna story is a bit slow. And the sound was very [...]

King Kong (7/10)

December 18th, 2005

King Kong : Cute monkey I had no expectations whatsoever for this film. And I didn’t even like LOTR, which wasn’t Peter Jacksons fault, I just thought the books were a bit boring. But having seen the trailers of King Kong, I decided to go and see it. So here are 5 things about Peter [...]
