Antwerp, July 1 (Ians) A rampant Netherlands men’s side romped to a 6-1 win over reigning Olympic champions Belgium here, keeping alive their hopes of securing back-to-back titles in the Fih Hockey Pro League.
The victory took the Dutch to 32 points, the same as Great Britain. However, Great Britain can no longer win the league as they have the same number of points but fewer wins and no matches remaining.
The Dutch can still add to their points tally with one more match to come. Despite the defeat, Belgium can still sneak to the top, if they win their final two matches -– one against Spain and the other a rematch against the Netherlands.
The home side didn’t look nearly as threatening as they did in their drubbing of Spain a day earlier. Instead, it was the Dutch who came out firing. Before the first two minutes were up,...

Lausanne, Switzerland, July 1 (Ians) A red-hot performance from Belgium’s men saw any Spanish hopes of clinching a first ever Fih Hockey Pro League title going up in flames as the final mini-tournament of the season got under way in Antwerp.
The home side’s 7-2 victory saw the Olympic champions taking a step closer to Great Britain at the top of the table with three matches remaining. With Spain now out of the running, only Gb, Belgium and the Netherlands remain in the hunt for the men’s title.
Earlier in the afternoon, Germany’s women produced a clinical performance, demolishing the USA 6-0. The result means the Americans now only have three more matches to try and secure the three points needed to avoid relegation.

Bhubaneswar, Jan 27 (Ians) Defending champion Belgium defeated Netherlands 3-2 in the penalty shootout after playing a 2-2 draw in the regulation time of the closely contested second semi-final, to set up a final clash with Germany at the Fih Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup, here on Friday.
Netherlands and Australia, who lost their respective semi-finals on Friday, will play in the bronze medal match, which will be followed by the finals between Germany and Belgium on January 29 at the Kalinga Stadium.
In the second game of the day, Belgium faced Netherlands in the finals rematch from the 2018 Men’s World Cup. While Belgium retained a major part of their core from that campaign, only four Dutch players in the squad playing in the semi-finals were part of the team that won silver at the 2018 World Cup.

Bhubaneswar, Jan 24 (Ians) Defencing Champions Belgium remained on course for back-to-back titles as they reached the semifinals of the Fih Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 203, prevailing 2-0 over New Zealand in the quarterfinals at the Kalinga Stadium here on Tuesday.
They joined World No.1 Australia in the semifinals and await the winner of the Netherlands and Korea on Wednesday to decide a place in the final.
The Red Lions struck via Tom Boon in the 10th minute and Florent Van Aubel then doubled their lead in the 15th minute. The two strikes in the first two quarters proved enough as they defended stoutly to thwart New Zealand.
The talk before the game was the injury suffered by Alex Hendrickx leaving Belgium without their ace drag-flicker for the rest of the World Cup.
However, star forward Tom Boon allayed some of the worries by scoring the first penalty corner Belgium...

Bhubaneswar, Jan 17 (Ians) Defending Champions Belgium came back from a goal down to draw 2-2 with European rivals Germany while South Korea defeated Japan 2-1 in a clash of Asian rivals in Pool B action in the Fih Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023 at the Kalinga Stadium here on Tuesday.
With only two matches scheduled on Tuesday, the focus was on the clash between Belgium and Germany as the winner of the match would have topped the group.
Germany and Belgium have produced many entertaining encounters and handsomely delivered on that promise in the final match of the day.
The Red Lions, the reigning Olympic and World champions came roaring out of the gates and were the first to get on the scoreboard. Germany, who were slow off the blocks, gradually grew into the game and levelled the score before the interval.

Receiving a healthy domestic release in native Netherlands and released stateside by Ram Releasing last May, with limited festival play before it (it did show at the neighboring Razor Reel Fantastic Film Festival Bruges) this is a film that will indubitably be remembered as a quaint first-wave exercise in an increased integration of modern technology and cinematic streamlining as a way to increase audience participation. Dutch filmmaker Bobby Boerman’s sophomore film, App, is presented as little more than any number of dressed up J-horror narratives. That’s not to say there isn’t any fun to be had in what serves as the first film to utilize second screen technology, but it’s cheap and shallow fun, to be sure. The rather superficial mystery at the heart of the narrative takes a considerable back seat to the excitement of messages you may receive on your cell phone from the film’s app,...

With an app that triggers additional content during the movie, App is coming making its way to Us theaters and VOD today, and we have an exclusive clip for Daily Dead readers to check out:
“Anna lives with her best friend Sophie, and balances psychology classes with supporting her brother and his recovery following a traumatic motorcycle accident.

*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by Ram Releasing. Director: Bobby Boermans. Writer: Robert Arthur Jansen. Cast: Hannah Hoekstra, Isis Cabolet, Robert de Hoog and Alex Hendrickx. App is a Dutch language film that was just released in North America. The film is a smallish horror feature, which focuses on a malicious cell' phone app'. One protagonist's life goes into a downward spiral as technology rears its ugly head, everywhere. This feature asks an interesting question; how far has technology infiltrated modern life? But, the film is really more focused on delivering a standard horror feature. In the end, App is an above average feature, which blends genres and most horror fans will find something entertaining here. The story can be seen in the film's trailer. Essentially, Anna (Hanna Hoekstra) is a failing college student, who likes to party. At one of her celebrations, a mysterious...

App of My Eye: Second Screen Technology Gets Double Dutch in Gimmicky Thriller
A film that will indubitably be remembered as a quaint first-wave exercise in an increased integration of modern technology and cinematic streamlining as a way to increase audience participation, Dutch filmmaker Bobby Boerman’s sophomore film, App, is presented as little more than any number of dressed up J-horror narratives. That’s not to say there isn’t any fun to be had in what serves as the first film to utilize second screen technology, but it’s cheap and shallow fun, to be sure. The rather superficial mystery at the heart of the narrative takes a considerable back seat to the excitement of messages you may receive on your cell phone from the film’s app, tuned to receive audio cues as the film plays and display extra content that those without the app are unable to see.

Whilst encouraging those selfish enough to sit using their mobile phones in cinemas isn't something we usually adhere to at the Horror Asylum it seems that Bobby Boermans' new Dutch horror 'App' will be. The movie has been made along with an accompanying app, Iris, which is equipped with sonic technology that triggers additional content during the showing. Content that includes off-screen text messages between characters, an alternative angle in a scene, and more. J-horror sequel 'Sadako 3D 2' tried something similar last year which turned phones into vibrating, flashing and noisy little accompaniments to the main feature. 'App' stars the sexy Hannah Hoekstra, Isis Cabolet, Robert de Hoog, Alex Hendrickx and Matthijs van de Sande Bakhuyzen. Check out the poster and new trailer below....

Let's throw some focus to the Netherlands where a film called App is set to open February 2013. Audiences attending the film - moreover, those with smartphones - will receive an interactive experience "as codes and cryptic texts that the film's heroine receives will also appear on audience members' small screens throughout the theater," says Thompson on Hollywood.
Beyond the synopsis we've had translated, you can check out a teaser.
After a traffic accident in which her younger brother Stijn (Alex Hendrickx) is paralyzed, psychology student Anna Rijnders (Hannah Hoekstra) fully envelops herself in her virtual world. She is addicted to apps, social media and her smart phone. Student Sophie (Isis Cabolet) is her best friend and she has a relationship with Daan (Matthijs van de Sande Bakhuyzen). After a wild party, of which she can't remember much, Anna discovers that an unknown has installed a mysterious app on her smart phone,...
