Hollands hoop (2014)
You reap what you sow...
Fokke Augustinus was born in the Top of Holland but is working as a psychiatrist in prison in the West of the Netherlands. As his dad dies in Groningen, where there is plenty of space, hardly anybody living and -above all- hardly any mobile phone connection (running gag), he inherits the farm. He decides to go and have a look and -even more- stay there and starts to get things running in the Dutch outback...
And with it comes another story where he will be a would-be killer, drug dealer and most of all a spin doctor using growing pot as a financial boost. In ten episodes his life is changed completely as well as the life of his oldest son. His wife did change her attitude towards their relation. He has another job from now on and he has his influence on the development of the area (does he?).
Doing illegal things attracts weird people, although the weirdest of them all follows him from his previous employment.
Expect the unexpected. Don't fear, but embrace the worst! As mentioned earlier: it's a kind of Dutch "Breaking Bad", but on a more down to earth budget en really funny Dutch pedestal.
A Knight's Tale (2001)
Nowadays, this is a perfect kids movie
It started dumb (as stated before): we will rock you (electric guitar) in the middle ages. And then we were fighting! Looked good: swords and spears. My 9-yr old was watching too: it was like runescape, less than Winx Club: no worries! Real life-for-life fights, no blood, no deads!
And then (spoiler) father meets son after 12 yrs. My big son went down to tears, crying. So for me and my family this movie is NO PROBLEMO, 12+, NO! just parental guidance (sex-warning? what are we talking about: NOTHING happened; and seeing two people in bed is (i guess) just a normal thing for mums and dads (no XXX involved).
And then this was really big fun! Perfect timespending! Go see it!
A true movie about a heroic man, true friendship and love!
Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)
Great pictures on a perfect story
Being an atheist after being raised as a catholic, this is some nice way to review those old stories. My kids liked the movie as is, and wanted to know more about the story behind it. So I think this is a great to interface with them.
True believers may disagree. My kids do not.
Loverboy (2003)
It looks so true that it must be true, at least it looks so true...
This film is about an issue which is quite often in press here in Holland: Maroccan Loverboys (hence the title) gets nice blond dutch chick to be a prostitute. She does not mind and things go from bad till worse... And then she finds out, but it's not... The movie gets better through time... Nice waist of time though.
Familie (2001)
Gee, it's my brother, sister, mother. dad...
Grandfather plans a small holiday in the snowy mountains. This movie is just covering arriving there, and the first night. It appears that grandmother is dying of cancer very soon.
Things should be said by now: We don't love each other (within this family)! That's when "l'aventura" starts.
A must see! If you like alcohol, you'll like this movie. If you like talking, the same. If you have problems with your close relatives, probably this will show you why and how.
The story is no fun, but worth looking at. Absolutely no fun, but done in a excellent way!
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Superbe movie, great action, giant thrills... The way it should be done!
1. Too bad, it doesn't have an ending (now)
2. Too bad, I read the book, so I know what will happen
3. Too bad, some things are really exagurated (NL: overdreven)
4. Too bad, (?) The Shire looks like Tubby-world. Oh-oh. And then there are four of them: not named Tinky-winky, Dipsy, Lah-la, Po...
4. Perfect: like IndianaJ-movies it's full start (forget about the telly-tubby-hill), full speed action, great sceneries.
5. Perfect: graphic fill doesn't bother (until the credits roll): it looks like it is supposed to be: the ultimate adventure!
6. Perfect: It's like the book. (OTOH in a kind of movie like this maybe it would be better not to know how things will end).
7. Perfect: It's a one-evening movie. Seeing another one after this the same night, will spoil your experiences.
Too bad, we cann't see the full project now (it's a full-length movie OK, but not a full story).. Waiting for it (due in 2! years)
What will the future bring in the next 2 years? Having this movie on 1 or more DVD's? Paying less then 2 (persons) times 3 visits? I bet the cinema likes these kinds of movies. (Perhaps due to the new euro (€): It hurts... OTOH: things may cost... It's well spend!
Take the Money and Run (1969)
One of the better Allen's
This one is really great. Like Virgil, I also like cellos and love women. And whenever there is money at stake, please do count me in... Although this one has not such deepness as Manhattan, it surely is funny to watch and has a lot of one-liners that still will do...
Treacherous (1993)
Waste of time...
This movie is about a boy who stopped racing cars, owns a huge hotel and has money problems now. Loansharks will be eating him in one week.
Then his ex-lover shows up. She brings a man with 2M cash. The ex messes up the new relation for the boy and makes love to the bad guy. Her 2M-friend gets killed, but the money can not be found...
So far. This movie is a complete waste of time. All males are only 25 years of age or so. All females are dropped out models. The movie is very incredible, the story is very thin. The only positive point is the beautiful car of the boy (a Volkswagen Karmann?)
