For me personally, this was a very interesting movie. I hadn't heard of this event before because I was a bit too young when it happened I guess. The Wallstreet world is very interesting and complicated, and I find it to be quite Intriguing. This movie is a bit of an inside in this financial world, even though it's not a very positive story.
The storyline itself was very well done, and so was the acting. Robert De Niro was brilliant, you could see that he got frustrated once someone asked him about his work, because he was keeping this huge secret for everyone, and it started taking its toll. He could be so friendly to people, but then he would just snap to the people who are closest to him. De Niro did a very good job.
I don't really understand why they decided to go with the "we-tell-the-story-through-an-interview" type of storyline because I didn't really know who the woman was that interviewed him, and we didn't get to know a lot about her or her work. So that's still a bit vague for me. Apart from that, a very interesting and well-done film I would for sure recommend!
I don't think I have ever been in love with a movie, like I'm in love with La La Land. From the first few seconds, till the very end. This movie had me and didn't let go. My english vocabulary is not good enough to express my love, heck, my dutch vocabulary is not good enough to express it. This movie is everything.
It is beautiful, happy, magical, romantic and I could go on for a little while longer but I won't. I wasn't expecting it to be this musical-y, but I mean, I love musicals so I'm not complaining. I think this is a great "musical" because there isn't non stop singing, so people who don't like musicals might like this one because it's more "subtle". I can only imagine how much practice went into all those dance routines and don't get me started on the impressive piano skills Ryan Gosling showed us.
Something that really impressed me as well was the way they filmed everything. It's a very creative and different way, which I really enjoyed and think makes this movie a great inspiration for those who love film and camerawork themselves. The build up and flashbacks and stuff were really cool as well. Yea I really enjoyed that. Also, the storyline, which does so much for a movie, was so great.
This is normally the part were I talk about the actors, but seeing that there were mainly only two actors and they were both amazing (I do think tho, that Ryan Gosling his character wasn't a very challenging one for him because we have seen him in roles like these before. Mixing it up with all the dancing, singing en piano playing though, you got something quite different and I loved it), I'm going to skip this part and say that you should watch this movie, do nothing more, just watch it, enjoyed it and love it.
I really really really loved this movie. Honestly, I really really really loved all three movies. This one truly, once again, lived up to all my expectations. It looked beautiful, it was funny ( I cried of laughter at one point), I loved seeing all the characters again. It was just great. In the end, it got quite emotional for me personally. I tried very hard to hold back my tears but I let one slip, so I was happy my 3D glasses helped me cover up my tear filled eyes. I will miss these movies very much and be sure to watch them all again very soon.
Just realized that I pretty much only talked about my emotions but I also want to say something about the storyline. I think this movie had one of the best storylines of all three. I witnessed a growth in multiple characters, which is something I really enjoyed. I hated the bad guy, which hasn't happen in this trilogy yet, so that's pretty great. Loving all these emotions, to be honest.
So, if you haven't noticed by now, I loved How to Train Your Dragon (all of them) and HIGHLY recommend you watch them all :-)
After being out of the spotlight for a long time The Horseman make their comeback, ready to bring one more bad guy in. Although it doesn’t really go as planned once they get interfered.
I looooved the first Now You See Me. I was blown away by how much I enjoyed it. I love all the magic tricks and I just want to see more and more. The way they made such a spectacle of the shows really gave me goosebumps, I enjoyed it so so much! So I was very happy once they announced this one, although it was a bit of a disappointment compared to the first one. I mean, the shows were still really cool and the way they made all the plans work, it was once again fascinating to get to know about. It just wasn’t like the first movie. As I said before I adore the magic tricks, but in this film it just got to a point were I thought “nah brah, this is just not possible. There is no way you can do that” (referring to mainly the rain part). That was a bit disappointing. I really enjoyed their last trick on the bad guys though.
All the actors did a very good job. We got Lizzy Caplan as Lula, a new character, and she. is. funny. I didn’t like her from the start but once I got to know her I really enjoyed her character. Also want to take my time to praise Woody Harrelson, I love that man, he’s a genius. His double role was so funny!
This movie was, personally for me, not the first one, I was a bit disappointed. Nonetheless, I am excited for a new one (if there is coming one, but I hope there is).
For someone who hasn't seen that many shark movies (read: has only seen Jaws), was The Meg action-packed and quite enjoyable. The movie itself was pretty to look at. The underwater environment was created beautifully, as well as the shark. That's a good thing because the buildup to the first "shark glimpse" took pretty long, which made the beginning of the movie feel quite slow. So the images of pretty fish made up for that. I would have loved to learn more about the shark species "Megalodon" but they didn't go into that, at all. But then again, it is an action movie. And let me tell you, this movie contains a lot of just that. It was to be expected with an actor lineup that contains Jason Statham. I really enjoyed his performance as Jonas Taylor. This might have been the first movie where I actually saw him smile. I really enjoyed Shuya Sophie Cai's performance as Meiying as well. She did a great job.
I feel quite sad that the shark had to die in the end. Just wanted to add that to the review.
I can't wait to watch more shark movies. So if you're reading this and you know some great once I need to check out, let me know :-)
I really really loved Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! I might even prefer it over the first Mamma Mia. It hardly ever happens that I prefer the second movie over the first movie, but here we are. I liked seeing into the past and learning how the events in the first movie came about. That together with the amazing new cast, it was just great. The movie found a perfect way to let us into the characters their past, but also their future. I always love learning about characters or events in movies and I feel like I never know enough. I want to know, quite literally, everything. This movie gave me a lot of insight and perhaps that's the reason why I loved it so much.
Another reason is the cast, how couldn't it be? They are all so talented and portraited the characters perfectly. It was so fun to see younger versions of the characters we already know and love. Let me start off with Jeremy Irvine (the younger version of Sam), Hugh Skinner (the younger version of Harry) and Josh Dylan (the younger version of Bill). They were brilliant! Jeremy Irvine practically sounded like Pierce Brosnan and Hugh Skinner moved and presented himself the exact same way as Colin Firth does. I was quite blown away by it, so great. Josh Dylan was just the perfect portrait of the dude you wish to fall in love with during a summer break. The honest truth, right there. The "original cast" is just grand so I won't blabber on about them too much. Lastly, I want to talk real quick about Lily James. The girl can sing! I loved her from the first time I saw her in Downton Abbey, so it's great seeing her going places. Also, I loved her wardrobe in this movie! Which made me think, wouldn't Lily James make a great big sister? I would love to have her as a sister. She's cool.
Even though Donna did share a bed with a lot of guys in a time span of about half an hour, I overall really enjoyed it all. It made me want to go to Greece really bad, and it was filled with fun little things like the guy at the ferry who checked the passports to Cher's dramatic entrance and the unexpected romance with Fernando Cienfuegos . I loved it and can't wait to see it again! Which will be next Saturday, ha, I'm unstoppable.
PS. Didn't you just love the end scene where they did "Super Trouper"? It might have been one of my favourite moments in the movie and it was practically the end titles, haha.
I just stepped out of the theatre and I'm ready to write this review for you all. So, let me start off by saying, this movie is nothing like the other Star Wars movies. I was expecting something like Rogue One, but as soon as they started making jokes I knew it was going to be something different. I liked it though, I did. It was action packed, quite funny and a bit romantic. I dig it. The action scenes were probably my favourite thing about this movie, those were very well done.
Alden Ehrenreich did Han Solo proud. I didn't really know the actor before this, but he's good! Sometimes it almost felt like I was listening to Harrison Ford. It was great to see him and Chewbacca together en find out how their relationship started in the first place. I really enjoyed seeing them bonding and all that. Woody Harrelson never ceases to amaze me, to be honest. He is a brilliant actor if you ask me. I felt like his character stayed a bit in the background throughout the movie but I think Tobias Beckett sure made an impact on Han. Talking about making an impact, let talk about Qi'Ra (probably the coolest way to write Kyra). First off, I adore Emilia Clarke. I think she's a great actress and she's absolutely gorgeous. I had to get used to the idea of her in a space movie but she did very well. Her character is still a bit of a blur, to be honest, but I think Qi'Ra could be an interesting character to explore further. Donald Glover as Lando is perfectly cast. They truly did a great job. My brother said, "I thought he was the son of the original Lando". I think when people say that, you've done a pretty great job. I liked L3 as well, she was a bit much sometimes but she brought some humour to the movie.
Overall it sure was a fun movie to watch. It all looked very beautiful and the special effects were great. The only thing that bothered me was some of the creatures they created. I think they could've been "more real". I don't know if that makes sense, but maybe you notice it too when you're watching the movie. It could also just be me, I don't know, it confuses me a bit. I really liked getting a glimpse of Chewbacca's story and a closer look at the Millenium Falcon. That's one great ship with way too many buttons, isn't it?
I enjoyed Solo: A Star Wars Story and I'm going to rate it with a solid 7. I'm pretty sure there's more where this movie came from so I will be waiting patiently till then.
Where do I start? I am so excited to write this review. I probably should have brought something to write things down while watching the movie. There is so much happening in this and I want to discuss it all! I'm going to try to write this review spoiler free.
I felt like crying so many times during this film, not out of sadness but out of pure happiness. I wasn't planning on mentioning this to maintain a bit of "cool", but it is worth sharing to let you know how happy I felt about this new Star Wars movie.
The opening scene, it was brilliant. A great way to start a movie! You immediately get introduced to these immense ships, this beautiful environment, a few of the known and loved characters, it was action-filled and it was funny! The Last Jedi had me there and than and didn't let go till I had to pee (it's a very long movie), and when I returned it had me again till the very end. There is a progress in every character's storyline, it was fun to see them all grow in their own way. Especially Finn. I couldn't really place him in The Force Awakens, but in this movie, he really went out there to make a difference and to help his friends and allies. Rose Tico, she is a sweet and brave character. I enjoyed the part where she and Finn went to visit a planted I didn't know yet and she saved those beautiful creatures Yea, I really like her. Which brings me to a character I first didn't really like to be honest, and that is Vice Admiral Holdo. It felt like she wasn't doing anything, at all, and that frustrated me a bit. Now that I'm writing this, I think that Rian Johnson might have given her that kind of "mystery" with a reason. I mean, in the end, we all loved her, right? At least I did. Poe Dameron, I have loved this character in The Last Jedi and felt like he didn't have enough screen time. This movie makes up for it all, I think getting to know him a little better was one of my favourite things, character wise. And then, Luke Skywalker, what a champ. I really enjoyed hearing what he had been up to and what changed him into the man he was in this movie. Seeing him and Leia together was so good as well. I loved it. Rey has become quite a grown-up, serious character as well, hasn't she? She is such a strong female lead. The connection between her and Kylo Ren was so interesting to see. I didn't expect that to be there, and I think they are very alike. Their connection was very brief and very beautiful. I really look forward to what is going to happen next with those two. Kylo Ren always feels like the guy who just can't get it right, ever. A bit like General Hux, who thinks he's brilliant while he's actually not that brilliant, which makes him quite funny, which is also quite sad. Bringin me to the last character I want to discuss and that is the Supreme Leader. First, is it bad that I had no clue who he exactly is? If it is, and you want to explain it to me, feel free to do so because I like to know. Right now, I wasn't very impressed with him, to be honest.
There are a lot of beautiful new planets and fun new creatures. Especially on the island that Luke was staying at. The nuns who take care of the small village are so funny, and the Porgs. I mean, they are the cutest things. I hear that opinions about them are all over the place, but I cannot, not like them. I'm weak. The storyline was very well written and it really went somewhere, it had a purpose. Which makes this movie so much more interesting and indulging. Every single person who worked on this did one helluva job. It's brilliant.
I wish I could have discussed a bit more scenes but I can't do that without spoiling quite a bit. I tried to discuss the characters as spoiler free as possible, which I failed to do, but I feel like these spoilers aren't major. You can read them if you want. I want to end this review by saying I probably forgot to mention a lot of things, I miss Han, I'm a bit sad that almost the entire original cast is gone, I can't wait for the next one and I think this one is better than The Force Awakens aka GO WATCH IT
(James Corden, I saw you)
Thor made one helluva comeback let me tell you that! This movie was absolutely brilliant. It was exciting, it was beautiful, it was fun and it was so entertaining.
The storyline was really good, there were a few parts that were a bit creepy/scary but they did a great job at keeping everything rather "light". The whole thing fell into place perfectly, it was solid and it just had a very nice flow. The acting and choice of actors, again very well done. (heads up, I'm probably not going to say anything negative in this review) I loved that they added so many new characters to this movie. But I also loved seeing all the familiar faces. Tessa Thompson was such a strong female, I adored her, she is so beautiful. Cate Blanchett did a great job (but when doesn't she?) as Hela, very scary. Benedict Cumberbatch his small appearance was one to remember, so funny. One of my favourite parts was the address he stayed at, I mean that was one great wordplay. Really, I could go and call out the whole cast because I think they all did such a great job. Jeff Goldblum, very funny. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Mark Ruffalo, they all were amazing. I can't get over it. But I'll stop talking about it, for now. (Matt Damon, I saw you brother, I saw you)
The soundtrack was so good as well, the song that came on when Thor started fighting. Such a good song. I half expected Wonder Woman to appear on screen everytime it started, but still, such a cool song. Probably making it that ma jam.
This movie was so beautifully made, and it was so funny. All the people who worked on it deserve every bit of praise they can get. This might be one of my new favourite Marvel movies. If you haven't watched it already, I recommend you to run to the nearest theatre because you won't regret a minute of it.
I really enjoyed this Spider-Man film! Might even be one of my favorites. Tom Holland is, in my opinion, the PERFECT Peter Parker. I really enjoyed the storyline and how Spider-Man went out on his own to fix things, even though he had no clue about what he was doing, whatsoever. It was cool to see a, for once, not so flawless superhero. He makes mistakes to get where he wants to be, and I think it's cool that we got to see that for once. Peter Parker his friends and fellow students were cast very well in my opinion, especially Zendaya. I have no idea what she did or why she's in this movie but she is brilliant. Michael Keaton played yet another good part, but when doesn't he? I'm a bit disappointed in aunt May, mainly because of the age I guess, but also in Tony Stark. I thought he was acting like a bit of a meanie towards Peter, but if you think hard and deep about it, he was kind of a "father-figure" to him in this film, and that he did do quite well.
So, yeah, overall a fun movie, one I surely enjoyed. Even though it did feel like this movie was made for a bit of a younger public, I give it a solid 7,5 and really do recommend you to watch this.
This movie is a form of art I haven't seen in quite a while. I was on the edge of my seat with a pumping heart from the beginning of the movie till the very end. Christopher Nolan and his whole entire team did nothing but an absolutely amazing job on Dunkirk. It was impressive and it was powerful.
I haven't watched many "war movies", mainly because I usually don't really enjoy them. But this one is worth the watch. It's not only amazing cinematography, directing and acting, this movie is a whole experience on its own. I don't think I've ever felt more a part of a movie as I did with Dunkirk. (I watched it in IMAX so there's a lot of screen. It might have something to do with that, but still.) The camera work was exquisite, it brought drama as well as stability when there needed to be. Hans Zimmer has truly outdone himself. My pumping heart was mainly because of his amazing music. Don't get me started on the actors. Showing us all that you don't need a script filled with many lines to make a brilliant movie or to show how good an actor can act. Heck, I think if you can play a movie like this one, you for sure are a great actor. I know people are giving Harry Styles a lot of praise for this movie (seeing that it's his first proper role) and I with them, he was amazing. But I don't want to forget about all the other actors. Fionn Whitehead, Jack Lowden, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh all artists in what they do, no doubt. Mark Rylance was a rock in the ocean for everyone, giving us all hope and showing that not all people are as bad. His character was a beautiful person. Aneurin Barnard and Tom Glynn-Carney really stood out for me as well. They were both strong individuals with their own minds who did what they could for survival, not only for themselves but for the people around them as well. Before I stop my (once again) too long actor praise I just want to say: Tom Hardy. What a legend.
I'd like to end this review with the same words I started it. This movie is a piece of art, something you truly experience and not just watch, something you're a part of. I really, really recommend you to go watch it. It will be worth your while.
I want to start this review off by saying how impressed I am, every time I watch a Despicable Me/Minions movie, with the creativity that goes into the story and animations. I love that there are even jokes going on in the background. With these movies, the sky is the limit, and it shows. They come up with the most hilarious and creative things to make to storyline more fun. I really appreciate that in a movie. Having said that, I must be honest and say that this movie in not my favorite one in the franchise. It was more action filled and their target group is a bit older for this movie then it was for the ones before. Resolving into sometimes maybe a bit too cruel jokes. (for example, in the beginning, the minions come by in a submarine of some sort but by doing so killing a fish. Doesn't sound that cruel or anything, I know, but you have to see it first, lol)
I love the minions, so if you ask me they could have had a bigger part in this movie. They make me laugh like a mad woman, to be honest #noshame. I loved the storyline where Lucy "learned" to be a mom and bonded with the three kids. Talking about the kids, Agnes, I can't, she is the cutest, seriously.
It's a fun movie that you for sure should watch if you enjoyed the other Despicable Me's, I laughed and I enjoyed it, but in my opinion, it doesn't top the previous once.
Cool movie to watch, kind of unexpected in the beginning but turns quite expected the further you get into it. There is a "big" twist in the end but I guess you figured that out a bit before they let you in on the "big twist". Apart from that, a good movie, with a good script. I liked the camera work when they switched to something upside down or to the place Louis was while in his coma. Very beautiful locations and a good cast. I was pleasantly surprised by Aiden Longworth who plays Louis Drax. I wasn't sure whether to love or to hate him, to be honest. I'm basically in love with both Jamie Dornan and Sarah Gadon so not much to complain about for me there. I must say that Sarah Gadon her acting stood out for me. She did really really well. Someone who also surprised me was Oliver Platt as Dr. Perez. I can't remember seeing him in any other movie before, but I think he is a pretty good actor. The casting for this movie altogether was very well done. Aaron Paul as Peter Drax was a brilliant choice (you'll get that once you watch the movie), his face just fits the character so well.
Not my favorite movie but if you enjoy thrillers with kind of messed up people and twists, you should watch this for sure.
I was very excited for this movie to come out, and I must say, it met all my expectations. I enjoyed it soooo much! Let me start off with one thing that really stood out for me. That was the camerawork. Absolutely brilliant if you ask me. From the beginning where they filmed from the backseat of Jason his car to the very end. It was truly great.
I never saw or knew anything about the Power Rangers except for their suits so I'm writing this without knowing the old ones. I think this is a great way to introduce us to the Power Rangers and get to know them on a kind of personal level. Also, it's very fun to see how they got there. To see that "superhero's" aren't always flawless and all that. They had struggles and I thought it was pretty cool that we saw those struggles and we saw how they handled them. However, I do feel like the part before they start fighting for real is kinda long. I wouldn't have minded if they cut that a bit shorter. I love the diversity of the characters and the actors. They are all strong individuals but do work amazingly well together. I don't think the characters really grew throughout the movie, but I get that because we were just introduced to them. That is something I really like to see in the second movie though if there is ever going to be one.
The animations were great, I loved the camerawork. The storyline, although a bit slow, real great (also as an introduction to the Power Rangers) and the characters are amazing. (great casting!) I really recommend this movie, you won't regret it.
I had so much fun watching this movie! It truly is a piece of art if you ask me. Great cast, great script and all the animated stuff looked absolutely perfect.
First of all, I want to say that there was a character growth between the first movie and this one I hadn't expected. For one I feel like all the characters "found" themselves, they were more confident of some sorts. All the emotions between them and the friendships were very strong, which you could really feel/see. So I'd say that's pretty cool to start off with. The script was basically perfect. I laughed a lot and made a lot of "naw" sounds as well because I just can't with baby Groot, I mean people come on, I'm weak, he's too cute. Do you know who's also pretty cute? Star-Lord. HAAAA. Yup I said it. Chris Pratt is the perfect fit for him. Drax might have been the funniest character this movie if you ask me. I absolutely love him. Put the beautiful and powerful Zoe Saldana as Gamora and Karen Gillan as Nebula next to that and all is well with the world. Also want to bring up Sean Gunn, Michael Rooker, Pom Klementieff and Kurt Russell. This whole cast is just amazing. As I said before all the animation was perfect. The worlds they created were so beautiful but so are all the ships. It's gorgeous, I can't add much more too that really.
I really really recommend this movie and just The Guardians of the Galaxy movies in general. I think these might be my favorite superhero movies. I'm still laughing at the part where Peter is looking for tape. That might be a spoiler but now you can look forward to it.
I've heard so many different opinions about this movie, which I totally understand because it's just not for everyone I guess. I must say though that my opinion is quite positive. I found Fifty Shades Darker to be an enjoyable movie. I started this film with the question "How am I going to watch this for two hours?" but it ended before I realised it.
First off, let me say, I am a sucker for all things romantic and I think the Fifty Shades movies are that as well. It's all quite a cliche (another thing that I love) and in some cases that comes with a not so great storyline. Fifty Shades Darker is one of those cases. What made this movie an good movie, in my opinion, are the actors and the camera work. The only actress that was a bit of a disappointment for me was Dakota Johnson. She was a great Ana in the first film but I feel like she decided to put a lot more of herself into Ana which kind of bothered me. I was pleasantly surprised by Eric Johnson, whom I've only seen in Hallmark movies. Jamie Dornan is always great so, don't have much more to add to that, ha. The camera work and all the sets were great tho. Grey's apartment, I mean, yas.
Yup. I enjoyed it and I'm probably gonna watch it again someday. #noshame
It took me quite a long time to get into this movie. It has a rather slow build up. But it is worth to go through. Do you know Gillian Flynn? Well, if you love her you most certainly are going to love this movie. It's the same type of thriller, filled with wonderful twists and turns you never expected, and then when you're at the very end of the movie and everything falls into place, ugh that's so good. I love that part.
Let me start this part by saying how absolutely amazing Emily Blunt her acting was. I think this is one of the best parts I have seen her play. Very well done. Rebecca Ferguson was so good as well, I really disliked her character. (that's a good thing) (to be honest, I was pretty sure her character killed Megan) I could name all the other actors as well, but the acting was in general pretty great. One more thing I want to say: Haley Bennett has a very pretty face.
I really enjoyed The Girl on the Train. I could understand though if some people don't because it starts out kind of vague (my parents didn't like it at all so we stopped at 20 minutes and I finished it by myself, ha). I can safely tell you, it's worth going through. This is a movie which makes you filled with speculations and excitement to find out what actually happened.
Assassin's Creed has such a cool concept. Maybe the coolest I have seen in a while. I personally don't have a lot of experience with the games, but I found the movie to be pretty entertaining. Still, it was not the greatest movie ever. It has been a week since I've seen it and I'm still not sure why not, tough.
The actors were great. I really like Michael Fassbender, everything he does, he does so well. I had to get used to Marion Cotillard her character Sophie Rikkin but she did pretty great as well. I could name all the actors but there is no use because the acting was just really good in general. Not much else to say about it really. Something else in this movie I want to praise is the editing. Especially the shadow-movement-thingy that happened when Cal was in the machine. That was so cool.
I think I preferred the storyline in the 15th century over the present time. That might have had something to do with why I didn't fully love this movie. But still, not sure that that's it.
Great concept, great actors, great editing, there just was something missing and I'm not sure what. (it really frustrates me that's why I keep repeating it, ha)
Passengers has action, a spacecraft, some science but above all it has romance. I personally didn't see the amount of romance coming. I thought that I was going to watch a full-on action filled science fiction movie but that turned out a little different. Still, I don't think Passengers is a bad movie at all. I just had to adjust a bit to it.
The camera work and I assume green screen material was very well shot/made. It didn't look fake at all. The movie is basically built around Chris Pratt his character Jim and Jennifer Lawrence her character Aurora, both very well done. But I guess that's what you get when you put two, if you ask me, great actors together. I think Michael Sheen as Arthur was really good too. He didn't do a whole lot but I really enjoyed his presence in the movie. (does that sound weird? Probably a bit).
Not the storyline I was expecting but very enjoyable nonetheless. Quite a long buildup to the action part and perhaps not the strongest ending, but hey, it's a happy one. I think the acting is what made this movie a real good one.
I would like to end this review with the following words, for you all to enjoy and remember: Chris Pratt's booty
Thank you and goodbye.
The creators of Star Wars has found a way to keep us all wanting more. I finished watching Rogue One and I was ready to watch it again or just simply watch every movie again. I am that excited.
At first I wasn't really sure about it all. Seeing that everybody told me it's a whole different story from the "normal" Star Wars movies (I highly disagree there because it literally fits perfect between film 3 and 4) and I didn't know how to feel about Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso (I know, it's bitching about something not worth bitching about, but I did it anyway). I think getting the right actor for the role is so imported. It could make or break a movie. I had my doubts about Felicity but I'm taking them all back because she was so so good. Her looks fitted in perfectly. Although I do feel like once she started talking the amount of "cool" dropped a bit, perhaps because her accent is so perfect, but I don't know. I felt like it just didn't really fit once she started talking. (I'm sorry)
I always like it when I watch a real cool movie with tons of actors I don't know. I didn't really know Diego Luna, Donnie Yen, Wen Jiang or Ben Mendelsohn before Rogue One. I'm sure not to forget them now because they were all great. I liked Mads Mikkelsen as well because he is one of my favorite actors and he is amazing, that's all. (Also, small shoutout to Forest Whitaker for being cool). I enjoyed the camera work as well. It was all beautifully filmed and in the beginning there were a lot of shot containing the environment and not only the actors. That gives a lot of breathing space and I think is a great way to build up the movie towards the action filled parts.
Rogue One did a great job at telling its story, with beautiful camerawork and great actors. It got me all hyped up about the Star Wars universe again and I can't wait to see more.
Is it just me or is Ben Affleck dropping great movies like a madman? I think The Accountant for sure is one of those. It very a very interesting story and Ben Affleck plays his part of Chris Wolff very well. Although the storyline sometimes felt a bit slow and I personally felt like there were missing a few things in some parts. I found it to be a really good movie nonetheless. There were a some really great twists in the end, which I really enjoyed.
I haven't seen much of Jon Bernthal his work but I was so pleasantly surprised. He's cool. J.K. Simmons was once again great, I do feel like he doesn't really play a lot of different characters, he's still great at what he does. Cynthia Addai-Robinson was something different. I've seen her mostly doing these really though characters, and it was refreshing to see her play Marybeth Medina a little bit more vulnerable. Now I'm going to speak out a probably unpopular opinion, which is that Anna Kendrick just isn't my favourite actress. Not saying she's not a good actress. But you know, I'm not really feeling it. Saawrry.
The movie started off with some great shots (like closeups and move-ins) which I really enjoyed. So the camera work was great, so was the acting and the story was good. AKA I recommend this.
(and I just really like Ben Affleck.)
Once again Disney brought us a beautifully created and fun movie. Full of love, jokes and inspiring characters. I enjoyed it as much as I basically enjoy every Disney movie. I always like seeing how "realistic" and even more beautiful they make their newest movies, there is always improvement. It was fun to see something from a different culture. I don't think there are a lot of people who know about Hawaii and all it's myths and hero's (Not sure if Maui is a real thing over there, but would be cool if he is). Got a bit confused about the name of the movie though. The internet told me that there's a reason why "Moana" is called "Vaiana" over here, but I didn't really understand it. I like both names so I'm not complaining, but I must say, it's a wee bit confusing.
The music for Moana was great. I know Lin-Manuel Miranda was a part of the music team, and although I felt like some songs resembled some Hamilton songs, I adored it nonetheless. I really recommend this movie, to grownups as much as kids. There are a few scary-ish parts in there (some people had to leave the theater with their kids because they found it rather scary), but a part from that it is absolutely wonderful.
Oh how I missed this show. I can't get enough of it, I'm not kidding. The thing is that I want everyone to watch it, but not many do because they don't like the classical music aspect in it. Which is a pity because apart from the, in my opinion, beautiful music it is so funny and exciting as well. I just want to know what is going to happen next with all the characters. The thing is, I like all the characters. There is not one I dislike, which is something that doesn't happen very often.
I think Gael García Bernal is such a great maestro. He really is a character, a bit strange but so loving and loveable. Also, very funny. He made me laugh out loud quite a few times this season. Lola Kirke her character Hayley (better known as Hai Lai) was, in my opinion, a great inspiration this season. You really saw how she jumps head in to reach her goals and get to live her dreams. Not without difficulties of course. She really has become a character to look up too.
I can't wait for next season and I'm going to try again to get my friends to watch this, they have to, it's too good not to.

I've got these books standing on my shelve, but haven't come around reading them yet. So I decided to watch the movie first. I must say, it is pretty magical. Which makes me even more exited about reading the books. The world Tim Burton created was apart from very beautiful, very fun and quite scary. Although I think they kind of made up for the scary part, by making Samuel L. Jackson his role as Mr. Barron very funny. I admit that once I saw the "Hollows" I got some creepy flashbacks to the time I watched several Youtubers play Slenderman.
I really enjoyed how much fun they made this movie. It gave me a bit of a Harry Potter-y/Narnia-y vibe. My mom said it reminded her of The Spiderwick Chronicles. I enjoyed all those movies and I enjoyed this one almost as much (Harry Potter and Narnia are hard to beat). So, getting back to the point where I was telling about how much fun this movie was, I really liked the "peculiarities" of all the children. Making them all so unique and a joy to watch. I always like seeing Asa Butterfield in movies, it was one of the first movies I saw from Ella Purnell though. The only thing I can say is that I loved her. Oh and, I wish I had her eyes (I'm serious but now that I think about it, it's kind of funny) (must have watched the movie to get that) (I'm sorry if you haven't watched it yet and you don't get my super funny joke).
Let's get back to Tim Burton real quick. I personally think he has made greater movies in the past, but this one sure wasn't bad, at all. It is hard to top such an impressive curriculum vitae if you ask me. That's why I think this movie is kind of "snowed under". Which it shouldn't be because it was great and very enjoyable. That was a great "not getting to the point" way of saying that you should watch this movie because it's fun, and they better make some follow-up movies because I want to see what is going to happen next, and not just read about it.
Newt Scamander arrives in New York with his suitcase containing very fantastic beasts. Once something involving his suitcases goes very wrong, the American wizard world is being faced with more then one challenge.
I am very new to this world, seeing that I only saw all the Harry Potter films last week. But once I watched those I immediately understood the love for these movies, the books and the whole wizard world. I was super exited to go see this movie to continue my "stay" in the world. Although I enjoyed the Harry Potter movies a bit more, I really liked this one. Everything looked so beautiful and the acting in the movie was so great. I adore Eddie Redmayne and I think they made the perfect choice. Newt is such a fun and smart character. I felt like he kept doing things that were very unexpected for him as a character, and I can't wait to see the change I predict he is going to go throughout in the following movies. To be honest, Tina wasn't one of my favorite characters and she sometimes even annoyed me a bit, which is to sad because I think she could be pretty cool. Jacob and Queenie for sure are two of my favorite characters and really, I can't wait to find out what is going to happen to them and what is going to happen with Jacob in general. Someone who also gave quite a interesting performance is Ezra Miller. He was such a character, wasn't he. He made me feel a lot emotions which doesn't really happen often. I think if an actor can do something like that, it's kind of magical.
I really enjoyed the storyline and the darker turn it made. I am very eager to find out what is going to happen in the next few movies. I really like to see more of Grindelwald, seeing we don't know a lot about him.
One of my favorite things in the movie is for sure Newt his suitcase. They made a whole new world inside of it and the creatures as well, they all looked so beautiful and were so creatively thought out, not only the way they looked but also the special things they can do, I loved it. I would highly recommend this movie to everyone. It's also quite nice that you don't really have to have seen Harry Potter, this way everyone can go see it. Now, I will go find as many J.K. Rowling books as I can and read them all while waiting patiently for the next movie.
This movie wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Although the acting and sceneries were absolutely perfect, the storyline was a bit disappointing. I got a bit bored and there was a bit to much singing for my liking. Those two are the only things that kind of bothered my throughout the movie.
So having said my dislikes about this movie I can focus on all the good things. First of all the filmsets and clothing were so so beautiful. The characters were all very lovable as well, they all fitted together making the perfect balans. Meryl Streep did a stunning performance as Florence Foster Jenkins. All her emotions were just right and the balans between playing a very strong women but from times the opposite of that was so well done. I never get tired of watching Meryl Streep do her thing. Someone who also very much surprised me was (you guessed right) Simon Helberg as Cosme McMoon. I only knew him as Howard in the Big Bang Theory so I really enjoyed seeing him in something different, and he was so good. Although I needed almost the whole movie to get used to the way he talked, his acting was perfect. After the movie I found out that he played all the piano pieces himself, which impressed me even more! Yup, I really enjoyed him in this movie. I know Hugh Grant has a very important part in this movie as well, and don't get me wrong he did great and he is an amazing actor, he just didn't really impress me this time.
Florence Foster Jenkings her story is apart from a lot fun also very inspiring and although I don't think I will be watching this film again, I really recommend you watching just for the joy of it :-)
This wonderful film tells the story of a girl called Sophie and her great friend who goes by the name of the Big Friendly Giant. Together they are out on an adventure which involves catching and bringing dreams, but most of all, making Giant Country safe and friendly again.
From the moment I saw the first trailer, I have been exited about this movie. I was planning on watching it earlier but couldn't find the time. My excitement and anticipation grew and so did my expectation. This movie lived up to all of them, and not only a little bit. This movie was purely amazing. So magical, so beautiful and so much fun. I adored it. I watched it with my family and it has been quite a while that we watched a movie that all of us enjoyed. The story is so creative and well written and they did such an amazing job bringing everything to life. It amazes me every day again, how many great things can be done with animation nowadays. I will never stop praising it. I can only imagine how much imagination Ruby Barnhill (who playes the roll of Sophie) must posses, acting around, I guess, a lot of blue. She did amazing. Mark Rylance as well! I loved how much the BFG actually looked like him. The way he talked, all the words were so funny. A real pleasure.
The whole movie was just such a joy in general. I think it also tells us quite a imported story about standing up for ourselves and not to be afraid of asking for help. This for sure is an amazing film not only for kids, but for people of all ages.
After a terrible accident Pete ends up in the woods, only to make a very interesting new friend...
This is what I would call the perfect family movie. I have two young nieces who are basically scared of everything that happens in movies, and this is the first film that made me think "hey, I could totally watch this with them". It's a very nice and quite "friendly", that's how I would describe it. The visuals are absolutely amazing, Elliot looks so real. I can't figure out how they get it done so well but I love it. It took some time for me to get used to Elliot his appearance though, it sometimes felt a bit like he was part dog, part dragon. Also because I was imagine a friendly "Smaug" so a fluffy Elliot was a whole lot different, but I was diggin' it in the end fo sho. Oakes Fegley his performance as Pete was so good as well as Bryce Dallas Howard her performance as Grace. Those two really stood out for me in this movie, so they deserve the praise. (Oona Laurence and Robert Redford were really cool as well) I really liked the storyline, although it was all kind of predictable and I must say, a bit simple, I really enjoyed it. The only thing that bothered me a bit about this movie was that it felt like everything was taking quite long, it's kind of a slow movie but very enjoyable nonetheless.
I can't wait to watch this with my nieces because I'm sure they are going to love it :-)
Although I feel like this movie didn't really make a huge difference within the Bourne series, I must say that I enjoyed it very much. I can't figure out why Jason Bourne is such a likable character, but what I do know is that this movie worked because of his likable-ness (is that a word?). I really liked Alica Vikander her character as well. Heather Lee was quite hard to figure out, and I would be very interested in getting to know more about what is going to happen to her, her career and her "relationship" with Bourne.
Something that keeps me watching these movies is that I really want to know more about Jason his past, and I think this movie gave us a great insight about a part of his live we didn't really know a lot about just yet. I enjoyed the storyline a lot, although it wasn't spectacularly different from the rest. I forgot how many "chasing-Bourne" scenes these movies had, I felt like this movie had a bit too much of it and that is probably the only thing that I kind of disliked.
This may not be my favorite Bourne movie, but it was very likable and seeing the end of it, I sure hope that there is one more movie on it's way to make a fine ending to this great series.
Mike and Dave don't have the best reputations when it comes to basically everything, but especially family parties. When their little sister Jeanie is going to get married their parents give them one ultimatum. Come with nice dates, or don't come at all. They are up for the challenge, and meet Alice and Tatiana. Only to find out later that the two girls are not exactly who they say they are.
This movie lived up to my expectations in every single way. I laughed so hard throughout basically the whole movie. I loved it. I feel like this wasn't one of your usual comedies as well. It perhaps has to do something with the storyline, I liked it. Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick their characters were surprisingly different from what I imagined they were going to be. Adam DeVine was his great funny self again, not really surprising but very enjoyable. I've never seen Sugar Lyn Beard before, I needed some time getting used to her character but she was so great. The main question I have been asking myself is why don't I see Aubrey Plaza in more movies? She is so cool.
What I really like about comedies is that if you don't just focus on the main actors but also the people and things around them nothings seems to be quite right, I think that that's extremely funny. so yea. I really recommend this film. I loved it. I'm going to watch it again.
