Ted Lasso (2020–2023)
8/10
Still good
24 May 2023
A lot of magatrolls have their feelings hurt by this show apparently judging by the flood of negative reviews with always a 'I don't want to hear good things about things I always attack' -part in it. Their hurt feelings shouldn't fool you though. The show is still great. I guess it will be over after season 3, but it was a fun ride. Many interesting characters, issues addressed, jokes made. If you don't want to hear facts watch fox. If you're normal watch it. It won't disappoint. Hoping for a season 4, but the story seems to aim for 3. Somewhere it looked as if it was done, but that turned around smoothly.

The Martian (2015)
1/10
This is bad
11 December 2015
I really looked forward to this movie. High score both on IMDb and rotten, so all lights seem to be green....but the score has to be influenced by the studio as it goes almost every time with 'big' movies last few years. Mediocre or worse movies scoring like masterpieces :-(. Everything positive you read about this movie you can safely wipe from memory. Only two positive points: nice 'spaceshots' and a few moments of good acting from Damon. Too few to make the story believable or to really care about his character. It's what I would call a 100% Hollywood movie. Cliché-filled and therefor to forget asap...but then again that's just me.. you may like it.

Gravity (2013)
1/10
Amazing...
30 December 2013
For some time now Hollywood has no more ideas. Common knowledge. Once in a while I try a movie hoping the dry well has some water in it. Ratings on IMDb are governed by the studios (I hope wholeheartedly, because the horror of the ratings being the work of "us"..aaaargh): movies that should make a let's say 3 and wouldn't have been released years ago are now rated 8+. Makes you wonder? No, not really. I didn't know anything about Gravity before I went to watch it. Only the rating and well you never know..right? Wrong, you do know. The movie has a painfully thin storyline and has gruesome "acting". Trying to get deeper into the point the maker is trying to make is blocked by the inferior level of it all. I gave it a 1, only because a 0 isn't possible. The movie's cost was 100 milj...maybe pay the writer some extra next time and cast an unknown actress for the leading part. This movie would've benefited from it. A "movie" to be forgotten about in a very short time. Only remembered for the warning it gives you...don't fall for it..., but I'm sure I will, because you never know. Right?

Movie without a silver lining whatsoever
21 February 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I expected this movie to be really good. Something else than the usual Hollywood stuff. The beginning was in line with the expectations. Looked promising, but that soon disappeared and eventually it was hard to watch the movie at all, but I did it, sometimes looking away. Especially the scene were almost everyone is in the house of the parents and they are talking about the bet that went wrong and what to do next. This scene really went wrong and there seemed nothing to do about it, but close my eyes and look away. The movie really collapsed there. The remaining of the movie was exceptionally predictable. I even got the jury-score right. Afterwards I couldn't think of any reason for this movie to be made except making money. The 8 here/92% (!) on rotten must be on a scale from 0 to 100/1000. Safe yourself the trouble, don't believe the hype and skip this one. It's a mixture of scenes from a lot of movies which never becomes 1 movie.

The Master (2012)
8/10
Not for everyone
6 February 2013
I looked forward to this film not really knowing what to expect, but hey...it's an Anderson. I read a lot of reviews after seeing the movie and I understand why they go from 1 to 10. It's not an easy movie and therefor not for everyone. It was for me however...without a doubt. At the end of the movie I thought about what point I would give it and 8,5 was the first that came to mind, but felt that was too high. I give it an 8,2. The movie is filmed perfect and the acting is good. Not phenomenal, but good. The story is great given you watch the whole movie and don't' walk away (goes without saying...I know) and... and that's important...you get what it's about. Reading reviews opinions about what it's about differ, so just go see it and let the story lead you to your own conclusions. It's not a waste of time...far from it.

Wasn't as bad as I thought
6 January 2013
I didn't expect much from this movie given the reviews. A rating of 4 doesn't help my expectations however IMDb-ratings haven't got a reputation of being accurate all the time. The first let's say half hour didn't do much for me, but the rest of the movie was OK. OK, Sharon Stone is older now. I didn't see that one coming... . Acting was good, the story was good , kept me interested until the end. Conclusion must be this movie suffers from it being a sequel. When you aren't bothered by that it's a worthwhile watch. When you want to see the young and beautiful Sharon watch part 1. For the mature and still beautiful one watch this. For a nice movie you can safely watch both although the first is better.

Not bad at all

I watched the movie, because someone recommended it to me as a movie you should give a chance. That's exactly what it is. Reading reviews here some think there is an inconsistency in the behavior of two people. I also had that feeling, but thought it wasn't the case and just a feeling. I looked at the scenes were this could have happened again and can now safely conclude the movie is fully consistent. It's not a masterpiece, but in it's genre it's truly a nice ride. It keeps you thinking all the way through. Good acting, great scenery. Movies with story lines in which you don't know exactly were it goes right until the end are rare. This is one such movie.
