Movie review burst #3
When Harry Met Sally Rob Reiner (1989) I will say this is not Rob Reiner’s best work. I enjoyed it as you get that nice eighties throwback. But in terms of rom-coms it’s definitely not among my favorites. When Marnie was there Hiromasa Yonebayashi (2014) I was genuinely touched watching this. It’s quite different from…

Movie review burst #2
Anastasia “Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia’s sexiest love machine” Don Bluth, Gary Goldman (1997) It looks very nice, I like the songs, especially the main theme that comes back several times. I also enjoyed the dynamic between the main characters. The superb animation makes it worthwhile, even if the villain is a bit of an afterthought. Hook “If…

Movie review: Begin Again
Begin Again John Carney (2013) I absolutely adore John Carney’s Sing Street, and my girlfriend recommended this one. It tells the story of a washed-up record label executive, teaming up with a young English singer who just broke up with her famous pop-star boyfriend, in a attempt to make a new record and take back…

After some weeks of inactivity due to illness and being lazy, I come back talking about four movies this time! What’s your number? – Mark Mylod (2011) I like movie genres. While it’s definitely not all there is, a genre has benefits.Having usually a set rules to follow, those rules can either be broken, played…

Double take: The Martian (2015) and Enemy Mine (1985)
A return of the double-take format, this time with a science fiction bonanza, a modern-realistic-slick-flick and an 80’s hidden gem. The Martian (2015) – Ridley Scott Missed it! It happened again. The year is 2015. I like going to the cinema. Ridley Scott is among of my favorite directors. I like science-fiction. I like Mars.I…

Mary and the Witch’s Flower (2017) – Hiromasa Yonebayashi
High praise for an incredible animation movie about a young girl, a broomstick, cats, flowers, and what else? Ah yes Magic! Ignorance is Bliss Sometimes I find my own behaviour very weird and inconsistent. I absolutely adore Studio Ghibli‘s work. I own almost all movies directed by Hayao Miyazaki.So I should have been aware of…

Robin Hood (1973)
Once again watching this classic take on Robin’s hood legend. The phony king of England I’m probably super biased on this one. I have seen it countless times when I was a kid.Nonetheless it’s still a great time watching it now. I like the songs, the animation is top notch. The visual storytelling is very…

Star Trek: The Final Frontier (1989)
They finally went too far out there. This could have well been the last voyage of the Enterprise. The boat didn’t go gently down the stream Okay, okay… What happened? I don’t know what to make of this movie.It’s really different from the previous installments. William Shatner (whom I dearly love) is directing, and I…

Now being somewhat of a grown up, Christmas has become a source of anxiety, the magic has gone.The need to buy…
