  The Blues Brothers 1980

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by Tim Timmermans 02 Apr 2021 10

  "We're on a mission from god."

  For me 'The Blues Brothers' is (and always will be) 2 hours and 20 minutes of pure happiness!
  The music (and guest appearances) by James Brown, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, Cab Calloway and Ray Charles.
  The insane car chases, stunts and crashes.
  It's all amazing and covered in comedy gold!
  I'm not a fan of musicals, but 'The Blues Brothers' is an exception for me. I start tapping along right away when the musical bits start.
  My easter holiday started today and it felt appropriate to kick it off with a rewatch of this masterpiece!

  Hagazussa 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched by Tim Timmermans 09 Jan 2021 5

  This amazing directorial debut by Lukas Feigelfeld is really slow paced, but also very beautiful, esoteric/trippy, atmospheric, suspenseful and very dark in style.
  And that is just what I like!
  For an hour and 40 minutes, I was sitting on the edge of my seat and was amazed by the visuals and the sounds.
  There's some gore, but not that much and a lot of things aren't explained, but I feel this just adds to the mystery of the unknown…

  Braindead 1992

  ★★★★★ Rewatched by Tim Timmermans 26 Sep 2020 9

  "Your mother ate my dog! -Not all of it..."

  Dark humour, a blossoming romance and nasty family members that just won't stay dead. Still the epitome of b-movie zombie gore!

  Ghostbusters 1984

  ★★★★½ Rewatched by Tim Timmermans 31 Jan 2022 3

  "Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?"
  "What has that got to do with it?"
  "Back off man, I'm a scientist."

  First conceived as another adventure for Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, with them battling supernatural beings through space and time, 'Ghostbusters' could have been "Ghost Brothers". I'm a big fan of 'Blues Brothers' and would have loved to see something like that, but unfortunately the untimely death of John Belushi made this impossible.
  While 'Ghostbusters' isn't "Ghost Brothers", it's still…
