The Perfect Date

I was expecting something like Too All the Boys I've Loved Before, that wasn't it. I think because of that, I enjoyed it less. The cast was great though, that was one of the things that got me really excited. The storyline and the character development were both a bit disappointing. It was a fun and easy going movie, but don't expect too much from it.

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
Mortal Engines

I was soooo excited for this movie to come out! I love Peter Jackson his work and couldn't wait to see this. Let's start off with the graphics. They were everything we are used to when we think "Peter Jackson", so so beautiful. I think they might be my favourite part of this movie, to be honest. The characters are a close second though. You could relate to most of them which made it easy to form a bond (either love or hate). There could have been a bit more character development if you ask me (and as my friend said at the end of the movie "the biggest friendzone movie I've ever seen"). One thing I really missed while watching Mortal Engines was the history. I felt like they left out a lot of valuable and interesting information and filled that precious time with more action scenes. Which to me was a bit disappointing.

So, overall, a cool idea, a really beautifully made movie but lacking a bit of depth in the screenplay.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

My favourite thing about this movie was, 100%, the graphics. It was so beautiful to look at. The storyline itself had a very long buildup to the "action" part. Which made the moment of truth a bit snowed under in comparison to the rest (see what I did there). Mackenzie Foy was absolutely brilliant and Keira Knightley confused me a bit, but other than that, The Nutcracker has a great cast! Jayden Fowora-Knight really stood out for me and Jack Whitehall made me laugh quite a bit.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms gave me all the Christmas feels and I can't wait till it's that time of the year again (my favourite time!). This would be great to watch with your family and friends right next to the Christmas tree. Once again, the graphic really did the trick for me but overall it's a fun and enjoyable movie!

The Little Mermaid

I was expecting something like the original "The Little Mermaid", let me tell you, it's nothing like that. It made me a bit disappointed, but once I let go of the "original story", it was quite enjoyable. I love Poppy Drayton and William Moseley, so it was fun to see them do a movie together. I probably won't watch it again, but I'm rating it with a very solid 6.

The Meg
Overdrive

It was an okay movie. A "smaller" version of the fast and the furious movies we all know. Overdrive has a solid cast and the movie is filled with good looking cars. I enjoyed watching it and recommended it to my car lovin' brother, but I'll probably won't watch it again.

The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society

I truly enjoyed The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society. (I think that this is the first movie title that I genuinely can't pronouns). It is a story of love, friendship, war and ambition. The film location and the costumes were beautiful and the acting was great. Filled with characters you can't help but fall in love with. Some scenes are light and easy going while the next few scenes tell the saddest stories. This movie found the perfect balance between it all. Playing not only with your emotions but with your heart as well, if you ask me. I for sure am watching it again, as soon as possible.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again
Life of the Party

I really enjoyed Life of the Party! It was very original and super fun. We laughed out loud and we were just enjoying ourselves a lot to be honest. I really enjoyed the casts, Melissa McCarthy was brilliant as always and the sorority girls were a fun bunch as well. All very different characters. It was fun to see Gillian Jacobs playing a different character from what I'm used to. Maya Rudolph was hilarious, as always and I liked Luke Benward. I've never seen him before this movie, but he's cool.

Something I personally really liked was the fact that the "low point" wasn't too low. I don't like it when a comedy makes me cry, Life of the Party had just the right amount of "low" to still enjoy it and not break out in tears. It's just a perfect feel-good movie in my opinion.

So yea, I really liked it! As I said at the beginning, it's such an original movie and I would for sure watch it again :-)

Solo: A Star Wars Story
Coco

I absolutely adore this movie! It's full of adventures and hope and love and I just love it. It was so beautifully made. Every time I watch a Pixar movie they keep getting prettier and it all looks so real. Grandma Coco was everything. So beautiful. Don't get me started on the land of the dead with all the colours and lights. I really really liked it. The storyline was very exciting as well! Sometimes these movies are a bit obvious but this one had some great surprises in it.

I think Anthony Gonzalez and Gael García Bernal are such a good match! I really enjoyed their voices and characters together. I've been a great fan of Gael García Bernal since I watched "Mozart in the Jungle" and it's great seeing him doing something like this.

I can't wait for Pixar's next big movie because they somehow just keep getting better and better.

Pilgrimage

It was very different from what I expected and it's not my favourite movie but you can see they really put a lot of effort into it. All the different languages and the camera work. I really enjoyed that. Jon Bernthal and Tom Holland together was a great match! I think they both are great actors and it was fun to see their characters working together en protecting each other the way they did.

I was hoping to get to know more about Jon Bernthal his character since the army seemed to know him, so I was kind of disappointed with the movie ending the way it did.

It was an okay movie. For me, personally, Tom Holland an Jon Bernthal made it quite a bit better.

Love Beats Rhymes

It was better than we expected. The movie itself was pretty predictable but a fun watch. I enjoyed the storyline and the actors. The subject really interested me and I've never seen a movie explore rap and poetry this way.

I always get a bit confused when I see Hana Mae Lee talk in a movie, to be honest. All I see is her Pitch Perfect character. She is a great actress though!

I enjoyed the movie and it's an easy watch. If the subject interests you I would for sure recommend it :-)

Forever My Girl

I wasn't 100% sure about it when I watched the trailer, but I liked it. The storyline is very cheesy and cliche, but that's how I like my romantic movies. I did feel like the romance got a bit "lost" between the father-daughter reunion. Abby Ryder Fortson is such a cute kid but as Billy, she was a bit much. Sometimes so much that all you really remember at the end are her parts. So I would've liked it if they made the other actors stand out a bit more.

It's nothing special but it is a fun/romantic/feel good watch. If you're into the romantic and a bit cliche movies, I would reallt recommend this.

The Vanishing of Sidney Hall

Whenever I read a book that has a lot of impact on me, I can't just go and start reading a new one once I've finished it. I have to think about it for a while. You know that feeling? That's the feeling I got from watching this movie. It was intense but it was so good. I was confused about the switching between time frames at first but you get the hang of it rather quickly. The Vanishing of Sidney Hall had me under its spell from the very start, simply by putting a ton of questions in my mind and making sure those questions get answered throughout the movie. They don't drop all the answers at the end, you need to keep watching to get all the answers. Which I think was great.

I really enjoyed the cast. Logan Lerman and Elle Fanning are such great young actors. All the characters were so fascinating to me, they really are their own people. I loved it. I recommend this movie, I can't really say why, but I do. I really do.

Red Sparrow

The start of the movie was very slow but the part where Dominika learns how to manipulate was interesting. The second part of the movie went incredibly fast. Making me feel like I missed a few things. The most interesting part of this movie is Jennifer Lawrence her character Dominika Egorova. You never really know what she's thinking and what she is going to do next. Making the ending a great surprise.

The Russian accents weren't really doing it for me but apart from that, the acting was good. Joel Edgerton his character Nate Nash was such a sweet man. I really enjoyed seeing him and Jennifer Lawrence working together.

I enjoyed it but I probably won't watch it again.
To end this review I'd like to say: I want Dominika her wardrobe.

When We First Met

When We First Met is a fun and easy-going movie. I got a bit lost in the timeline but you pick it up again rather quickly. It has a great cast and I enjoyed the storyline a lot. So, yea, it's a fun movie, nothing too special, but very enjoyable.

Murder on the Orient Express

I watched this with a friend and my sister and we were all expecting someone else to be the murderer, so it was fun to see how it was going to end. For me, the storyline could have been a bit more exciting maybe, but all the actors did an amazing job! Such a big cast as well, I love it! One thing that really stood out for me was the camera work. It felt like they "slid" through the story and it made me feel like I was apart of it all.

I really enjoyed it. My sister said she wished more happened throughout the movie. So I guess it's not for everyone but I really enjoyed the speculation and the unravelling of the whole mystery. Also, the camera work and characters were a big plus for me. Personally, I recommend you give Murder on the Orient Express a go. Even if it's only to see Kenneth Branagh his amazing directing/acting skills.

Ingrid Goes West

This movie was a serious reality check for me and my friend. You never really realize how many people can see the stuff you put online.

I enjoyed Ingrid Goes West. The acting was great and the storyline was very interesting. The ending was kind of disappointing. There was so much more I wanted to know and they didn't really talk about the fact that what happened between Taylor and Ingrid is actually not okay (in my oppinion)

It's an okay movie, you won't miss out if you don't watch it, but it is an interesting storyline/topic.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

I was wondering how this movie was going to go since they modernised it the way they did. But it worked so well! I laughed, I was on the edge of my seat because of the excitement, and it was a really beautiful movie to look at. There is a slight chance that I loved this one more than the original. The cast was amazing, and the script was fast paced and well written. With just the right amount of adventure and jokes. I really enjoyed it and I would for sure watch it again!

Little shoutout to Jack Black. The whole cast was amazing but that man, he was brilliant!

The Greatest Showman

This was one of my most anticipated movies, in a long time. I was so excited, and still am! Absolutely loved it. I didn't want it to end. I had been listening to the soundtrack a few weeks before I saw the movie, and I must say, the movie is just as great as the soundtrack.

The cast was perfect, and it truly felt like they were a family. I find the story to be so inspiring and wonderful, I want everybody to watch it, and learn from it, and enjoy it, and love it, and dance to it, and feel it, and I just really really like this movie.

I am already planning my second visit to the cinema to see this.

A Family Man

I feel like this movie was too scared to really get into the deep, which made it less emotional than I thought it would be. Because of the lack of debt, this movie didn't move me as much as I thought it would. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. It kind of felt like a laidback drama. Which seeing the topic of the movie, shouldn't have been. It worked though. You don't really get to know the characters on a personal level, which is unfortunate, but it wasn't a real dealbreaker for me personally. This movie is a beautiful story that didn't get the chance to show it's full potential.

If you're into these kinds of movies I really recommend you to watch it. If you aren't into it and you decide not to watch it, you're not really missing much.

Pitch Perfect 3

I liked it! I was going in with some doubt because I didn't really know what they were going to do to keep it "fresh", but they did a great job! I loved the action that was included, and I laughed out loud quite a few times throughout the movie. I do feel like it's different from the first two movies, but the songs were great (I missed the big acapella mash-up though) and the cast was amazing as ever.

I am going to miss these movies but I love rewatching them, so that's what I'll be doing from now on :-)

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
The Glass Castle

The Glass Castle storyline was in my opinion quite interesting. The fact that it is a true story makes it even more interesting. It is fascinating to see how these kids were brought up, and although it has a lot of flaws, I also think it's quite beautiful. How they were seeing the world and learning by living.

The acting was brilliant, all the children in this movie are seriously good actors. I was impressed. They choice very beautiful sceneries to film, and the camera work was great. The part they filmed in the pool was done particularly well.

I might have expected a bit more or something very different from the movie, but it for sure wasn't a bad one. So I'm giving this movie a very solid 7, and you the recommendation to go watch it :-)

Thor: Ragnarok
Dirty Grandpa

It for sure made me laugh, but it also made me very confused about basically everything. Some jokes were just a bit too much for me I think, but some were brilliant, I have to give them that. I think the story underneath all the jokes was quite nice. I really like the relationship between Jason and Shadia, but also Jason and Dick. If you think about it, it's all quite sweet, but it was put into a jacked of dirty jokes.

I wasn't planning on watching it (even though in my opinion Zac Efron has been making brilliant movies lately), but then it turned up on Netflix and I watched it with a friend. To be honest, if you don't watch it you won't miss much. But if you want something easy going, quite funny and a bit weird, you should watch it. I'm giving this one a very solid 6.

The Wizard of Lies
The Big Sick

It was very different from what I expected, which made it a perhaps an even better movie. It was beautiful, funny and quite "easy going". It's not a very "light" movie though, I would say, but it is very enjoyable. It gave the viewer a right mixture between sad and happy. It makes you laugh, but it also makes you think.

Kumail and Emily were a great match, two characters who really made each other better and more enjoyable to watch. The storyline was very interesting and quite new/refreshing as well. I can't think of any other movie who tells about this subject. It is very original.
