Bumba (2004– )
8/10
kid's show
11 May 2006
My nine=month's old son just loves this. He hardly ever sits still, except for Bumba. He really, really loves it. He even drools a little when it's on television. But I guess that's normal. For a nine=months old.

The show revolves round a yellow dressed clown and his friends. There's another clown, a bear, a rhino, an elephant, an Asian girl and I think there's a bird somewhere as well. Maybe a monkey. (You can't blame me for not remembering, I hardly watch it)

They all speak a Dutch=based gibberish language, but sometimes it's proper Dutch, for instance when referring to an apple, a voice will tell the audience of children that it is an apple (appel in Dutch).

It is all very colourful, and happy. A lot of "funny" sounds and musical instruments are used, and I think that it's a good children's show.

Resident Evil (2002)
7/10
rather good film
7 June 2005
Warning: Spoilers
I'm a big fan of horror, and I thought I would hate this film, as most adaptations from games tend to be b*llocks, but I found it very good. The story itself is quite meager, but hey, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre wasn't written by Tolstoj either. Action is good to very good, and tension is well kept throughout the film.

I'm not easily impressed by overwrought fighting or action scenes (e.g. The Matrix) but the scene in the hallway with the lasers is great.

Being fond of Romero's work, it was fun to see the zombies back in action. Especially the zombie-dogs (mutant, zombie, infected, whatever).

Don't expect grand insights, moving scenes on the subject of the human mind, or being moved to tears. This one is a roller-coaster, baby, nothing more, nothing less.

Hang on and enjoy the ride.
