Love, Ludlow (2005)
what an unexpected surprise!
Love Ludlow is not your typical romance love story, It has all the ingredients of a indie love story with the quirky character and so on...
At first I thought it looked a bit low-budget , but after a while I good used to it, and this movie turned out to be very funny and enjoyable to watch.
The acting is fine, and it had some nicely shot scene's. The music fitted quite well, it wasn't overdone and the clarinet gave a nice warm sound which helped the movie.
All in all a movie suitable for everyone....

Enduring Love (2004)
Great thriller
Enjoyed it very much, it's the kind of movie you would watch on a drowsy Sunday afternoon.
It had a good story (wich is not surprising because it's based on a book) and the acting from Daniel Craig was impressive.
The beginning was really strong, it sucks you right into the story. The only thing I didn't like was the ending. It felt a bit rushed somehow. (I don't like Hollywood endings, just so you don't get the wrong impression)
The music and the cinematography where well done, I liked the look of the British landscape in this movie, and some of the parts in London looked good to.
This movie doesn't leave you with a depressed or numb feeling like some other thrillers do, I didn't mind.
It's worth a watch
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Better than the first two but not as good as the third...
Darker and more scary than ever... Potter is back in his fourth year at Hogwart's!
I wasn't bored a moment throughout this movie, The acting was adequate and the music was good. The thing i didn't like was how things seemed to happen so fast. No quiet parts.
That's what i liked about the third one, it had a good balance of action and quiet parts and had more character development, it felt much more personal.
There where some good moments like the dancing but I would have enjoyed some scenes in the dorm or in hogsmeade ( how do you spell it?)
One thing i did appreciate was that it followed the book very closely.
7 out of 10 from me.
11:14 (2003)
Fun to watch and quite a smart story but it's not great
I just saw 11:14.
I have mixed feelings about this one. overall the acting is good and the story line is fine. But it missed something, i can't describe it but some movies have great appeal to watch. this movie left me rather cold. there where some moments where it got better, but not enough.
I liked Hilary Swank's roll in this movie it wasn't a big role but the character she made was funny.
Patrick Swayze did not do as good as we are used from him but then, what can you expect for a movie this scale, the story was difficult to act on i think. His character wasn't played out as it should have been.
The rest of the cast did a good job.
The story is portrayed in the same way as pulp fiction. if they would have done the story in chronicle order the movie would be ruined, the movie entirely depends on this way of storytelling.
If it had something extra it would have been much better.
with it's 82 minutes it's just long enough to keep you entertained. Longer would be bad because there is not enough story for more.
A fun movie to watch on a Friday evening with some friends but for real serious movie watchers it's not good enough.
Melinda and Melinda (2004)
Woody's comeback!!!
This movie is like his classics, not as good but i think he is walking on a good path now.
The movie tells about two married couples who are not very thrustworthy to each other. you see them in two ways, the humoristic view and the dramatized view. The movie shifts between those perspectives. Allen's purpose was probably to give you a view how close drama and humor are to each other.
While Woody Allen is not in this, his so called replacement in this movie is Will Ferell, he does a good job portraying woody allen. The acting in this movie is convincing but not without any flaws.
It's worth a watch, especially for the ones who are fans of Allen's old work.
3 out of 5 stars from me
Mean Creek (2004)
I assure you will feel down after this!!!
Some movies are nearly unforgettable, like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, this is one of those movies...
It all begins when Sam is beaten by a boy called George. George is a overweight kid with social problems. When Sam's brother hears about the beating, he tells it to his friends and together they make up a plan to take revenge on George. They invite George on a boating trip and plan on leaving him naked behind. Sam decides to take his girlfriend Millie with him. During the boating trip they discover that George is a very nice person, they get regrets and want to abandon their plans. Marty (one of Sam's brother's friends) Is still in for the plan. That's when it goes terribly wrong...
From the beginning you can feel that there is gonna happen something later on, you already feel the sadness before anything is happening. The acting is just superb, by all the cast members. The movie was very realistic and naturally acted. it's the directing debut everybody want's to make. Of course some people will find it boring, but that's the public who like movie's such as XXX or other major action flicks without any real substance. You won't find other movies with the similar feeling going all through the movie!!

2010 (1984)
Not like 2001
I found the first one really good (2001) , especially for it's time, it was really very original and they didn't overdo everything, this movie has more of HAL the computer in it and that's about it, for people who didn't see the first part it is quite enjoyable but when you have seen 2001 you would be rather disappointed because it isn't a movie at the same high class, as a basic science-fiction thriller it's OK but it doesn't give you any original things, watch the first one again or hire this movie is my recommendation. 3 out of 5 stars
ps. did you hear the funny laugh from Scheider when he discovers on the computer about the course from the Discovery?
