Dexter (2006)
I just love this series!
I've just seen the finale of season 5 of Dexter and man...! What a series! This is writing at his best! I just love Michael C. Hall plays his part. His does it so well, it completely let you forget that he played the role of David in Six Feet Under (my favorite of all time-series!). And all the characters in the five seasons are really wonderful, but I especially liked Julia Stiles. She's playing her part very nice!! Lithgow in season 4 does his part only as he can do and it works fine for me! Can't wait 'till he returns! (he must return!!) Here in Holland "Dexter" airs on a non-commercial canal en mostly about 23.00 h. at night. Nobody in Holland heard of this series, unless they watch in online or on DVD. And that's a pity... I can't wait until season 6.... Keep on the good work!
De storm (2009)
Such a bad film!
I hate this film. It's really awful in all his aspects. The acting sucks, the story sucks, the script sucks, the end sucks, it is a really bad bad movie! Alsot he title doesn't make any sense: De Storm. The first ten minutes of the film is about the actual storm, then the film tells a story about a mother (who acted the worst!) in search of her baby and that for 86 minutes long. Call the movie then: The Search or The Baby. I've never seen a good film produced by Johan Nijenhuis, and I really hate him. He thinks the audience is deff, dumb and blinde and writes and produces bad films and series. I think Nijenhuis is the baddest thing ever happened to Holland. So I say: Nijenhuis, you can do better, or get the hell out of showbusiness! Amen.
Six Feet Under (2001)
It's excellent!!
The Dutch presenter Paul de Leeuw braught me to this series. A bit sceptical I bought the first season and from then on I was hooked. It's an excellent series: the characters are well written and played by all the players, the plots of the series are great and the humor is to die for. I especially liked the role from the mother; the episode where she's on XTC is a classic already. Then the second season came and the mother is still my favorite character. But then Claire is also very exiting. I became more hooked at it then whenever which series. (even "24" !!) When I saw the finale in season 5 (and I'm not going to tell you about it, see it!!) I cried for at least 15 minutes! This is my ultimate series and I love love love it! It's the best series I've ever seen and I think it's gonna be a long time before one overrate this. Thank you HBO, Alan Ball and all the players from "Six Feet Under". You will be remembered all my live....
The Aviator (2004)
DiCaprio is one of the best actor's in the world at this moment.
I saw yesterday this film and I was very surprised by the acting by the lead role, DiCaprio. I've seen all of his movies and I think he is one of the best actor's in this world for this moment. He can play really everything. I like him the most in his role in "What's eating Gilbert Grape?". I think that role was stunning. He deserved an Oscar for it, but didn't. And even this film gets five Oscars, none of them were for Leo. I think he deserved it. Although he is a bit childish to look at, I think he is very believable in this role. But then again, the film is not one of Scorcese's best, so maybe he's too good for this film.... Anyhow... I liked this film. It claimed me for over two hours en I really enjoyed watching this movie.
Angels in America (2003)
I think Meryl Streep can play anything...
I've just saw this film on DVD and I think it's fabulous. It's nicely done. The subject isn't the lightest object in the world... This film brings the object with so much care. Al Pacino is great, Meryl Streep can play anything for my part, the woman is marvelous, Emma Thompson is great, everyone else plays their part so very good... It's frightening... It's not a simple movie. Not something to watch on a Saturday evening with your friends, in my opinion. This one you have to watch on a rainy Sunday-afternoon, in your pyama's on the couch. It's a long sit: six hours, but it's worth it!! HBO just did it again. I've seen many HBO-thingies (Dav one is Six Feet Under!!!) and they are all very good. When they keep on making films like this and series like my Dav, then I keep on loving HBO. Thanks to everyone who makes this film possible!!
Saw (2004)
This is really a great movie!!
I've seen a lot of films in my life and horror is one of my favorite flavors, but there's a lot of crap on the market. This is not crap! The feeling that strikes you is right from the beginning of the film. Two men chained in a cell with a dead body in the middle, you just want to know what is happened to this men! And then the story unfolds for your eyes, but the ending is never suspected!! I thought it was a really great, original movie and after just seen "Dead End" (who also surprised me) I never thought I could get surprised twice a year, but it happened! The sound on the DVD was really great and creepy and a real surprise was Danny Glover! If you like a creepy, scary evening, rent or buy this movie! It's worth your money!
Cabin Fever (2002)
Underrated is the word...
I was very surprised when I saw the rating for this movie. This is a horror-flick that is HORROR with capitals! I liked it very much, it's bloody, it's weird, it's sexy and most of all: it's scary. It has a good soundtrack. Okay, the story is crap, but what's new in horror?? And what does the young boy means?? I don't know and I don't bother to know. I've seen thousands of horror-movies in my (short) life (I'm 35 at the moment) and I think personally that this is new, never done before. Something else. I liked it, have I said that? When you don't like horror-movies; don't watch it then! Then it's a bunch of crap, but if you love horror-movies.... Then enjoy!
May (2002)
It's macaber...
I've bought the DVD for just Euro 9,00 on the Internet and I've seen this film yesterday and I liked it. It's a macaber little movie, well made, well played and believable! May is a girl, born with a lazy eye, and you see the youth of her; a very controlable mother, who gives her a doll, but she's won't play with it! The parent is creating a very disturbed child. Later on in the film the gore is fantasticly build up to a climax. I'm a great film-fan, own about 2000 films, and May suprised me. When you love great suspense-horror flicks, go see it. When you don't, don't see it! It might give you some idea's....
Loenatik - De moevie (2002)
I just love this film!
It's great, it's funny, it's emotional, it has a good plot, it has everything a family-fun-film must have!! The only thing is: it is in Dutch, but I am Dutch, so that's no problem for me, but for the rest of the world. This film should be subtitled for the rest of the world, so the rest of the world can laugh!!
Kolobos (1999)
I've liked it!
Not a bad movie at all. The acting is overall not bad either, the music is allright. The only thing I didn't like was Kolobos itself. He didn't scare me at all, but that's the only thing that lacks about this movie. OK, it's horror, so don't take it to serious, but if you want a scary evening or night: this film is it!! It's original, it's full of gore and I like it! I've bought it for Euro 2,99 on DVD with original Dolby Digital 5.1 sounds, so it's great value!!
Ginger Snaps (2000)
It's "Heavenly Creatures" meets "An American Werewolf in London"
I've seen this film yesterday and I thought it would be a monster, but I was really surprised. I thought it was "Heavenly Creatures" meets "An American Werewolf in London", without the humour of the last one. For a horrormovie this one scares you. The photography on the beginning of the film is full of gore. It's disgusting, I think. Yet another surprise in my huge (1800 +) filmcollection!!
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
The third one is great!
I have seen this film yesterday and I must say: I laughed hard! What a satire, I loved it. In the openings-scene there a so much famous actors and actresses and a famous director is doing some dancing! Micheal Caine as the father is hilarious and to be short: I loved this movie, it's great!!
