The Numbers Station 2013
Despite some tens moments during the film in the end the whole product remains a bit shallow. Is Cusack getting old? Liked Malin Åkerman .

Jack the Giant Killer 2013
Huge CGI monsters ... running over a grass field. Grass doesn't get plowed. Enough said!

The Marine 3: Homefront 2013
Decent action flick with WWE Superstar The Miz as his first lead role. I think he did good. Decent acting around the lead role too. Did find the bad guy's motive a bit fishy.

Inescapable 2013
Secret police was kind of soft, not very convincing. Well known cast, script and plot did not really provide them to produce a good film.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 2013
A decent popcorn movie. Famke Jansen plays a nice witch, didn't care much for the other witches. The lead duo is a bit to into 'now' with all their 'modern' gadgets, weaponry and fighting style. The gore is more laughable then scary, like I said, popcorn movie.

Parker 2013
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Broken City 2013
It's like an extend episode of Blue Bloods ... with a different cast, only longer. I kept looking at Russell Crowe's hair, it looks like the hair of Donald Trump. Did watch it in one go, so it has some appeal to it.

Hansel & Gretel 2013
Modern take on the ancient fairytale. Of course we know the ending therefore no surprises.

Django Unchained 2012

Jack Reacher 2012
Jack Reacher is someone you should know nothing about ...
Having overheard a friend talk about 'Jack Reacher', I wasn't expecting much but ended up really enjoying it. On the surface it's a pretty standard action-thriller (which I happen to like), but what makes the story work are the elements of detective-noir thrown in the mix (think of 'The Pelican Brief' here). Oh ... and if someone offers you a hat ... ! -
Het Bombardement 2012
De mix van voice over, historische fragmenten en Rotterdamse taferelen spraken mij wel aan. Het ontzettend snelle acteerwerk van Jan Smit en enkele andere acteurs irriteerde mij, wat jammer is want andere acteurs in de film kwamen wel tot goed spelen. Rotterdamse dialogen altijd +1.

Zero Dark Thirty 2012
Kind of like a 'Homeland' movie. Slow paced at times, compelling towards the end.
