The Iron Lady (2011)
Beautiful, just beautiful
I watched this movie without any expectations. I think that's the reason I was able to see what the makers were trying to do. Don't jump to conclusions when you see the title, don't decide before hand what you want to see in this film. Just watch...
You see a woman, a very strong woman, from a period when women weren't supposed to be strong. You see her stand up for herself, and fight, and actually achieve things! You see an old woman looking back on a turbulent life. You see a loving wife saying goodbye to a husband she has lost many years ago, but she wasn't willing to let him go. She wasn't really there when he was. Now he is gone and she can't let him go.
She remembers her failures and her successes. She remembers her love for her country, and her families love for her. And she accepts who she has become.
Tears were streaming down my face. Just beautiful.
Lucifer: Quid Pro Ho (2016)
Oh. My. G... err...
Wow, what a magnificent episode! Just watched it twice, and I'm still psyched! In this episode the story gets a whole new twist, IMHO. I'm loving it!
The amount of trust in each other that both Chloe and Lucifer show in court is amazing, and they finally realize what they mean to each other...or do they?!.
The viewer gets a slice of what's ahead, and I can't wait to see it! Apparently 'Dad' isn't as devious as He's appeared to be so far, and Mum...well, Mum... Then there's Amenadiel, who's showing a new side, and Mazikeen who seems to be getting close to Detective Douche.
There is so much tension in this episode that I don't know where to begin! If you haven't watched this show: watch it! If you have watched this show, watch it again!
The Bandit Hound (2016)
Nice family movie
I'm not a dog-person and I don't have kids. Still, this movie was fun and a nice way to spend an evening.
It's obviously a kids movie, but even though it's a simple story line there are plenty of layers and jokes for adults to keep everybody happy. The dog is dangerously cute with those big blue eyes, no wonder he gets away with stealing all kinds of things for so long. Nobody would ever believe a dog would steal, let alone one that cute (let's be honest, we all judge!) The two bad guys have a 'Home Alone'-feel to them, just simple humor that every kid will enjoy.
Only a 7, because of the simplicity of the story. Nice enough movie to watch, parents will probably rate it higher.
John Wick (2014)
Very smooth
I like action movies, although fight scenes usually bore me a little. Most scenes in this movie however, are very smooth. The men in suits make things look more sophisticated, the magnificent choreography is almost graceful. All in all, the fight scenes are beautiful and fascinating to watch.
The use of Russian is cool, gives the whole thing a rough edge. I love the subtitles, they have put in so much work to get that just right! The accentuated words make you 'hear' what words are stressed, even if you don't speak Russian.
The music is excellent. Strong, meticulous with a rough edge. Perfect for this movie.
The story is compelling, from the first second you're drawn in. I'm very curious for the sequel, Chapter 2!
Stargate: Atlantis: Vegas (2008)
Perfect
This is IMHO the very best episode of one of the best sci-fi shows there is. It's completely different from the 'normal' episodes, showing the skill of the writers, actors and director(s). The way of filming is different, colors are different, music is different, well known characters are somewhat different, making it a very acceptable alternate universe. One of the characters we know from a previous episode (Miller's Crossing).
I keep watching it, discovering something new each time. Great music too. It feels like it's a movie in stead of 'just' an episode. Would have been cool if was as long a movie! No better way to end a show than with something spectacular like this, only the conclusion of the story follows.
Perfect!
