The Wandering Earth (2019) – Review

The Wandering Earth Review

During the past month it was impossible to visit any of the big movie sites without reading the new about Avengers: Endgame shattering various records about the money it has made. Most film news is about American movies, but did you know that The Wandering Earth, a Chinese movie, which is now available through Netflix also managed to set some interesting records? Its box office made it the second best Chinese movie ever, at a global level it’s third for this year and it also has a place in the top 20 of highest grossing science fiction movies ever. And still few people know about this movie, which is really weird. But for the average viewer movies aren’t about the money they make, but about its content. Is this disaster movie, which plays out on a cosmic scale, worth watching? Continue reading →

Dirty God (2019) – Review

Dirty God review
Na American Honey or Rosario Dawson in Kids or Jennifer Lawrence. They were able to act natural in front of the camera and make a lasting impression. It requires a very good eye from a director or someone in casting. Vicky Knight plays the lead role in Dirty God. She had never acted before and for a long time declined the offer to play the lead role in here. After the director kept persevering, she finally agreed and managed to portray a strong character in this film. Continue reading →

Avengers: Endgame (2019) – Review

Avengers Endgame review
After my wedding last week and short honeymoon, Avengers: Endgame was the next big event on the calendar (I have to admit that I, only for a moment, thought about heading to the press screening a day after the wedding, but decided that would probably be a bad idea). A film that isn’t only the sequel to Avengers: Infinity War, but also a title that Marvel has been working towards for the past eleven years. A sort of end to an era, just as film lovers felt about Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and other franchises. Although it is not the last Marvel film, it does largely feel like the last chapter in a series. After more than twenty films in this series, the fans have come to know and love these characters and Endgame takes them almost literally through the entire MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Is it one of the best superhero films? Continue reading →

The Highwaymen (2019) – Review

The Highwaymen review Netflix
Bonnie and Clyde from 1967 is seen by many as a classic film. The film with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway is seen as a revolutionary film that changed the direction of Hollywood. I saw the film a few years ago for the first time and I have to admit that I didn’t think it was that special. Maybe I should give it a second chance, but I didn’t connect with it and gave it a 6. Criminal Clyde Barrow and former waitress Bonnie Parker commit bank robberies together, were seen as celebrities at the time and over the years various films have been made about them. The story about a man and a woman who go into crime together apparently appeals. But every story has multiple sides and the new Netflix movie The Highwaymen shows how two police officers are chasing the duo with the aim of eliminating them. Continue reading →

The Mule (2018) – Review

The Mule review
Clint Eastwood is an actor who is woven into the DNA of film. With his iconic characters he has immortalized himself and behind the camera he has shown what he is capable of. He is now 88, but he is still making films. In this latest film, in which he also plays the lead, he delves into the world of Mexican drug cartels. Continue reading →

Love, Death & Robots (2019) – Review

Love Death & Robots review
Although a load of new content appears on Netflix every week, I generally take the time to watch what interests me. I add it to my viewing list when it is announced and I often see it a few weeks after it has been released. However, last week was a week in which I could not wait until the releases of Triple Frontier (review will follow), season 2 of The OA and this series, Love, Death & Robots. With Tim Miller (director of Deadpool) and David Fincher as executive producers and a science fiction approach, I was very curious. I had not seen the trailer and I was totally unprepared for what I would experience, but when I started watching, I couldn’t get enough of it. Continue reading →

Mile 22 (2018) – Review

Recensie Mile 22
Within the film industry there are certain combinations of directors and actors who seem to be almost inseparable. Martin Scorcese and Robert de Niro or Leonardo Di Caprio, Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, Billy Wilder and Jack Lemmon or Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune. These are collaborations in which the two seem to reinforce each other. Director Peter Berg has that with Mark Wahlberg. The two previously made Lone Survivor,Deepwater Horizon and Patriots Day. All films that are based on real events. However, this is not the case for Mile 22, which is entirely fictitious Continue reading →
