Castingx (2005)
A unique and original thriller
A friend of mine told me about a movie he saw which he found very interesting. He knows I'm a big fan of this kind of thrillers. I must say I was very skeptical about Dutch people making an English film, but I wasn't disappointed. I'm also not a fan of Ellen ten Damme, but in this film her role was very strong. I liked the creepy atmosphere and the images. In the beginning it wasn't so easy to follow the story, but it kept my attention. The actor that plays Steven, the main character in the film is Dutch, but I only found this out at the end of the film when I saw the credits. Castingx is not the most easy film there is. If you like more mainstream Hollywood pictures, this is probably not the best film for you. If you wanne see something different, this might be something for you. John.
Langer licht (2006)
An awful film
I don't like Dutch movies, and this film illustrates why. They showed this film during an open air festival to celebrate something in Amsterdam North, the place where they shot this terrible film. The celebration didn't take long. Almost everybody left the place because the film was very, very boring. The actors did their best, but the storyline way too simple. Only a few people over eighty saw the whole film, but they were probably deaf or blind, or both. I don't think this film was in the theaters and I understand why. The only positive thing about the film is that it's only 83 minutes. I must say, it felt like three hours.
