Intriguing until the last minute. Great cast and very nice camera work. Some scenes are already classic, like the Tesla's and the oil tanker. A bit too moralistic at times, but had a great time.

Hardcore Never Dies 2023
Jim Taihuttu and co have seen a little too many American crime movies. The trip to the era with the bad music is fun and the protagonists do a fine job, but the story is predictable and completely by the book. I appreciate the effort tho and it looks nice.

Aftersun 2022
What a brilliant way of telling a story. Keeping the viewer in the dark at first and releasing information bit by bit, which is also open to interpretation. Incredibly good and man, what an intense film. Father and daughter play amazing and what a film debut. I will be thinking about this for a long time!

Falcon Lake 2022
A dreamy coming of age film, that feels so sweet and uncomfortable at the same time. Shot very atmospherically and with beautiful music. Man, that ending...

Inside 2023
Wow, this is something else! Willem Dafoe at the top of his game in this masterpiece. The penthouse as a prison and as an allegory for man on earth and his relationship to art. At least, that's how I read it. And the art becomes a character and in a way becomes the protagonist.
Apart from that, it is a very good film, showing very ingeniously what a man does to survive. Full of metaphors and symbolism if you want to see it. Fantastic! Wanna see it again now and pay even more attention to the artworks. -

Bad Things 2023
A lesbian version of The Shining. Had some fun idea's and well executed scary images (the two joggers), but no. It al felt a bit to amateurish and chaotic. Nice watch though.

Fingernails 2023
Jessie Buckley is always good. Fingernails has an interesting premise, but it was a bit too dull for me to convince me. The fingernail parts were nasty!

I'm Perfectly Fine 2023
Short animation about an artist experiencing a burn-out because of all the deadlines, obligations and socializing. Very recognizable and cute film, but most of all: it looked amazing. The backgrounds, the art, all very inventive.

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life 1983
My least favorite Monty Python movie, but still a pretty good one. The first short film with the urban pirates is masterful, as well is the 'Every sperm is sacred' bit. And yes, I also love the restaurant scene with the big guy. Not everything is a succes but it's...Monty Python's Flying Circus The Movie.

The Gentlemen 2019
That's the Guy Ritchie we signed up for after Lock, Stock and Snatch.
Very funny and clever story.
