It's a good movie and well performed, it'll entertain you for a chilly evening, but it's probably not going to become a classic icon

David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet
(2020 TV Movie)
A must see
11 October 2020
Ignoring this movie should be criminal.
Although visually this certainly lives up to the reputation Attenborough is known for, but unlike his previous works this movie will not leave you elated by the magnificence of Earth.
An example of good acting

A look into my grandparents' lifestyle?
21 June 2020
This movie is not well known in Belgium, but I finally watched it.
The interior of the apartment reminds me of my grandparents' old home, newspapers seemed to be huge back than and every bit of wood was dark.
The story: a single mom has her daily routine, including some unorthodox necessities, untill small things start to interfere. It's a very slow and lengthy movie, showing a lifestyle of almost half a century ago, while we're all aware it is still the way of life of many people..
We're not used to these type of movies, but it's quite "zen" to watch a vaguely familiar routine taking place that perhaps would have been practiced by my own (great) grandmothers... minus a few key developments of course.

Artemis Fowl
(2020)
Honestly it's like The Last Airbender all over again

The only good thing in this movie are the effects and the stunts.
Somehow it fails to be funny or exciting, even with the fast pace at which the story progresses... not even the selection of a few well established actors manage to save this movie, despite their best efforts.
Victoria & Abdul
(2017)
A good period drama about an unlikely friendship
18 April 2020
We don't often see the story of the supporting staff of famous people, but the unlikely story of the Indian servant to Queen Victoria, and the reluctant courtiers plotting to get rid of him, is certainly a nice watch.
Snow White
(1984)
A very alternative twist to the tale
28 February 2020
In a castle where scheming is required to not get the chop, a royal baby is born in very unusual circumstances... growing up to be a bizarre and overlooked royal maid.
Nothing about the story goes the way you'd expect, and the humor is probably too dark for a young audience to properly digest. Nevertheless, if you like 80's animation that's decently made and a tad on the gloomy side (the only pink in this movie I believe is from a bare buttox), with a good 90 minutes of proper story development, than this is surely movie not to miss out on!

Knives Out
(2019)
Murder? Suicide? Poirot? Clue? Did the butler do it? All (and yet none) of the above!
18 February 2020
A who-done-it that serves us 2 hours of delightful suspense as a pampered family are confronted by the apparent suicide of their patriarch... or is not everything as simple as they're all trying to make the hired private detective believe?
Not a single dull moment, a must watch for any fan of this genre!

Death Becomes Her
(1992)
My favorite "dark comedy"!
17 November 2019
I know this movie by heart, it might not have aged as well as we might have liked but the three main characters are excellently portrayed by Streep, Willis and Hawn!
Add to that a great story and an over-the-top theatrical staging and this movie will keep you entertained for over 100 minutes!
Clue
(1985)
liked Murder by Death? you'll love this!
23 October 2019
For the majority of the movie, you might risk a déjà-vu after viewing the similarly "Murder by Death", but the jokes and oneliners tend to be more polished in this movie.
The ending is slightly unconventional, but apparently that was due to a movie theater trick that doesn't quite work as well at home viewings, but still: this movie is a classic 80s comedy that makes a total spoof of the genre.
