The Dark Knight (2008)
Great film, even bigger hype
Alright, this is a good movie. It has breathtaking action, a great villain, a dark atmosphere and even some kind of a story. But after having seen it for the second time I think its still a bit over-rated. At least my oh-so-high expectations had me leaving the cinema with a hint of disappointment. Moral dilemma's sure are there, but they seem rather shallow after reading such ecstatic reviews. I hate to admit this, being a Batman fan since 'Batman Returns' came out. I think the whole hype around this actually spoiled my viewing pleasure. My advice is; if you're planning to go see it, don't expect too much. You'll like it better. Although the whole movie certainly isn't flawless, Heath Ledgers Joker steals the show, and is, along with the spectacular driving scenes, one of the main attractions to the film. I hope Chris Nolan is willing to make another one. It'll give me the chance to ignore all ads and reviews and love it just as it is... I really want to!
Les Misérables (1998)
What a surprise...like a little gem!
I really liked this movie. Usually, I'm not so fond of movies situated in the past, but this one really grabbed me. Maybe that is because I didn't read the book before (I want to read it now! You say it's even better? I want some proof!) Well lets see; GREAT acting, GREAT actors, GREAT story... To me, Geoffrey Rush now seems to be one of the greatest bad guys in film ever. Great acting, again. But this story is really about bad versus good. Its moving to see the best people get the worst, and eventually...(can't tell really, that would be a 'spoiler' right?!) But you gotta watch carefully sometimes, Mr. Bad Guy reveals his true motivation of his hunt in something like a split second ... Try it, even if you don't think it'll be much... I bet you'll discover this to be the little gem you wouldn't have it expected to be.
Vanilla Sky (2001)
An underestimated, fantastic, intelligent movie!
I'm sorry if my english fails sometimes, I'm dutch so forgive me.... Why do I find this movie at the romantic comedy's in my local video shop? Is it because of its cover that looks so 'romantic'? Well, don't let the cover fool you. This movie is really one to watch, especially when you are into movies with a sort of mystery in it. And the plot stays hidden very well, during the movie. Its a surprise! Don't get frustrated by all the strange things that happen on the screen of your telly, in the end they explain it all. I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, actually I don't rate him very high for his acting skills. But in this movie, well, guy, this is good. He is fully believable in this role! You really did a great job, Tom! Lets not forget about Cameron Diaz and the lovely Penelope Cruz for their part in this movie, they make it all much more than just another romantic movie.
Well everybody, as you can see I recommend this movie very highly, and I think you do as well. Go get it!
Rent a Friend (2000)
A typical dutch, bad-acted comedy
Everybody seems to think that this movie is funny and well-acted and stuff. Let me assure you: it is not! Just because it is a little better than the average dutch movies, doesn't mean that it is a GOOD movie. I saw it after reading all this reviews at IMDb. All those actors look like if they are acting in a soap-show. Yeah, it's all about that, but it is not meant to look like it all the time... So, don't watch this movie, it's a waste of your time, if you want to see a dutch movie, watch LEK!
Earth: Final Conflict (1997)
Best scifi series ever
Ok, everybody agreed on what was the best season. The first. And killing off Boone was a bad desicion. Also killing off others was bad. Blame the directors and writers for it. Bad boys. BUT. I still think this is the best scifi series ever! Sorry guys I can't help it! I see that the quality of the series was decreasing after the first season. Still it's easy to accept Liam as the new main character, if you are over Boone. He is really... mysterious. The thing that shocked me most was when Lilli was written out of the story and how. That was something she didn't deserve! And what do we get? Some blonde chick called Renee, with absolutely no character! But these Taelons stay mysterious, and you stay wondering about theyre true plans till the end. True Suspence. The conversations between Zo'or and Da'an are sometimes brilliant.
I understand that, when you jump in on an episode from the 3th,4th or 5th season, you may not understand this show. But when you watch from the beginning, you just cant break loose!
The acting is great, the special FX are marvellous, the music is beautiful and the plot intriguing. Gotta see this, guys!
