The Intern (2015)
An entertaining feel good movie that doesn't disappoint !
This movie is one of many feel good movies around. The great thing about it is the built up of the movie and the fact that even when you know the outcome it still keeps you drawn towards the screen.
Robert de Niro once again proves his allround acting skills. He mesmerizes you throughout the movie. You feel for his character and the position he's in. Having grown up with a mum working with the elderly day in day out, she emphasizes the importance (sometimes to much in my opinion :) ) of not neglecting them and the experience and influence they still can bring to the table. Seeing the movie unfold just makes you smile. The chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Robert de Niro is great and the support cast is really nice in my opinion. The 'gang' gives the movie the comedic and light touch to it, although Anders Holm didn't really stand out or gave his character that much extra, he was just there.
All in all good entertainment.
cheers
The 100 (2014)
Actually getting better !
Sure you can approach this show from a physics point of view and trash it all night long; how can they walk inside the space ship, how can they maintain oxygen for 90+ years, hello Geiger counter !!, etc. etc. However, if you do this you can basically QQ about every (sf) show, since they all have plot holes, exaggerated explosions and impossibilities
Considering its broad casted on cw, which has its main focus on younger audience, you know you won't escape the cheesy love triangles.
But in all fairness as the season is progressing the characters do start to grow on you. Furthermore the plot is slowly diverging and getting more depth to it, with a lot of plot lines available to keep the show interesting for a long time to come. Are the grounders alone (apparently not), are they really the bad guys. What will happen to the people in the Ark, and what happens when the hardliners get to the ground.
Conclusion : its not the best show ever but its definitely entertaining. 7.5/10
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Awesome but didn't need the 3 hours !
I saw the movie yesterday evening and i tried to go watch it without any expectations even though i've been reading a lot of reviews. I am from the Netherlands so all the swearing and nude stuff isn't that much of a deal to us ;). And in my opinion kinda exaggerated. The atmosphere in the cinema was great and the first 2 hours of the movie were great !! great performances. Leonardo DiCaprio shows ones again he's one of the big guys nowadays and able to carry a movie. Jonah hill shows he's outgrowing the teenflicks although he still is the funny guy. I would describe the movie as interesting, exiting, fun and with so much underlaying messages trying to describe a bubble-era in the financial world with the sky as limit prior to the crisis we've gone trough the past years.
Now for the downpart. I think 3 hours was too long. This movie didn't need the whole 3 hours to explain the story, be funny and a great movie. Pretty much after the boat scene it kinda starts to drag, this was also noticeable in the audience. less laughs, people got kinda bored at the end.
All in all a great movie but 2 hours would've been just as good.
first 2 hours : 9/10 entire movie : 8/10
Camelot (2011)
It's a good start !
The first two episodes are promising. So far the setting and clothing promises a nice foundation for a realistic representation of the time. In my opinion these kind of series depend on that the most ( when special effects or big battles look fake because of budget it loses credibility ) The nudity people discuss isn't to much in my opinion as long as it is there to strengthen the story and the characters.
The cast is good with some well known names and with a nice mysterious part for merlin so far. Arthur has yet to convince me since he's young and in my eyes not yet 'The King Arthur' you'd expect.
All in all a promising start. Lets hope they have a solid story for at least the season or maybe already a second.
