A Thousand Words (2012)
Wouldn't watch it again
The idea of the plot is kind of nice. But too many scenes feel too forced. The movie has no real flow. Yes, sometimes you laugh but fir my taste the line between funny and stupid is crossed too many times. Many things are illogical even considering the kind if magic that's happening. The outcome is very predictable and just because it has a good message attached to it, it doesn't make up for that lack of character development.
The Resurrection of Gavin Stone (2017)
Nice christian family entertainment
We enjoed this movie as a family. The plot is quite clichéd and esay to forsee. But the acting is good and there is some nice slapstick dialogue and a good natured humor which - if you are familiar with church culture - makes you laugh about yourself/your church culture in a refreshing way. It is a clearly faith based film centred around the message of love, forgiveness, grace and getting a second chance. Entertaining and family friendly. Not very compelling but not too cheesey.
GoldenEye (1995)
Had good memories of watching it but rewatching now, it wasn't that great...
Just watched this film again and I must say that I was quite disappointed. Of course, I am still a fan of Pierce Brosnan and his way of incorporating James Bond. But many of the other characters seemed to be quite "flat". Especially the femaile villain. Her storyline and her playing didn't feel like a real person. The action stunt are nice, even though not convincing at all. But given that the film is already 25 years old, I think they're great!
Focus (2015)
Nice film, entertaining and with many plot twists
I really enjoyed the film. Whenever you start to trust someone and you think you have figured out their motives the plot takes a different turn. The twists come unexpected and make this film really entertaining. In constrast to some other films, the twist are acted out as flashbacks or told in other ways so that the viewer can actually follow them. You do need to activate some brain cells but you're not left clueless or totally confused.
La casa de papel (2017)
Started off great, but now i no longer like it
Really got intrigued by the first two seasons. Now I'm into season 4 and don't like it anymore. It's at the same time boring and full of unnessecary violence, drama and many flashbacks. The character development is no longer reproducible to me. I no longer enjoy the series and that makes me sad, because it really started off as something special and enthralling.
Playing with Fire (2019)
Funny movie, great family entertainment
We thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. It was actually better than expected. Many times these kind of movies feel like they're too funny to be enjoyable anymore. But this one was quite nice.
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
Enjoy the ride
Spectacular movie, nice stunts. Just what you need to relax after a hard day. Hard day? Not really.... THEY are having a hard day 😊🤣👍.
Once We Were Slaves (2014)
Well done, nice background story
One can clearly see that it is a low budget production, but that small budget has come a long way. Nice authentic feeling background story, locations, costumes, etc. New approach to an old story from a different angle. Would habe loved it to be a full lenght movie since the character development was great and could have explored so much more if there were have been more time. Clearly this crew is talented and the film worth watching!
The Crown (2016)
Quality decreased in season 3
I really liked seasons 1 & 2, but the third season was much less enjoyable. The acting of the new crew did mot reach up to the performance of the first one. Also, the caracters often remained quite 'flat' and really hard to grasp.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Not my thing
It's well done and spectacular, but I couldn't really get into the story. All these beings, monsters, etc. made it difficult to focus. Well, it's just no my taste, I guess.
Castle (2009)
Funny, interesting
I like the the series a lot. It doesn't focus on the bloody crime scenes but more on the relationships. The smart and crazy nature of castle ist really entertaining. It's a light crime series that I preferrably watch when working out.
Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Great movie
Maybe a bit long, but really fascinating story and good acting.
After the Sunset (2004)
Oldie but goodie
Still love this movie :-)
The twists and turns are great and the dialogues hilarious.
Just that drug-dealer is a bit too much of bad taste.
The Chosen (2017)
Must see
This depiction of Jesus Christ is so touching. Unlike other movies about Jesus, the focus here is on the people he touched and this perspective touched the viewers life because he/she can relate so much easier. Also the stories and personalities of those people are so much more complex and have more layers than you usually get. This makes the film seem so much closer to reality. New perspective, very compelling. Love it!
