Posted on March 16, 2022 by Jeroen Admiraal

Eternals (2021). A very long film about barely interesting superheroes. Some of the ideas and visuals are interesting if you don’t think about the story too much, but in the end it is just a randomised assortment of actors punching … Continue reading →

Posted on February 26, 2021 by Jeroen Admiraal

Well, one thing’s for sure. There won’t be a season 2 review. Firefly really is a western in space, complete with all the typical characters that you would usually see in a western. The gunslinger, the priest, the doctor, the … Continue reading →

I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020) Review

Posted on February 12, 2021 by Jeroen Admiraal

9.0/10 A Charlie Kaufman film so you know it’s going to be out there. An old guy imagines himself as a young man with a girlfriend who then wants to break up with him. How sad is that? It takes … Continue reading →

Posted on February 13, 2019 by Jeroen Admiraal

5.5/10 There was this amazing time in the late 1980s when a whole load of alien invasion films came out – but it was crazy, weird aliens or little monsters. I guess the alien visitor theme started anew with E.T. … Continue reading →

Robin Hood (2018) Review

Posted on February 9, 2019 by Jeroen Admiraal

Remember the 2017 film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword? It was a Guy Ritchie film and Guy Ritchie’s style is only suitable for films about wisecracking gangsters. His King Arthur film was therefore a horribly confusing experience. It was … Continue reading →

Waterworld (1995) Review

Posted on February 6, 2019 by Jeroen Admiraal

It’s a harsh world out there, with all that water. The first thing that this movie wants you to know is that Kevin Costner is the badass hero. He has the Coolest Boat, and he also knows the Ways of … Continue reading →
