Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
A true pleasure,
It's amazing that some people think this is not a good movie. It's a wonderful movie. I just gave it a 10 star rating cauz some people give it only one star so i have to get the average up, cauz this film deserves an 8.5 average rating. Some great acting, but more important, a nice 'cut the bullshit' attitude that I loved. An honest, warm, lovely movie that made me laugh and cry. Sometimes i was afraid to be disappointed but the movie always catches back its wit and spirit just when it needs to. I could have some comments on some things, but the movie was too good to give to much importance to those. Just loved this one. I read some reviews on this site of people that didn't like it or think it's an OK Sunday afternoon movie. Well some people didn't believe the world was round, and some people believe that the war in Iraque is a good thing... so well.... it's just a freakin good movie! A winner
V for Vendetta (2005)
Art reveals the truth
This movie is one of the best I've seen lately. It uncovers all the lies, all the bullshit we hear day in day out. Sometimes the emphasis on symbols in the movie was disturbing me, till I realized that this movie is a symbol itself. I don't understand I didn't hear more about this one at its release. Must have been very busy at the time with other things, or I didn't pay too much attention at the press when it came out, or was it the press that didn't pay too much attention to this movie? Looking up some reviews of magazines of meaning it seems more the latter, having looked up a review of the magazine that appeals to the target public of this movie. They describe it as a nice little comic movie. Disgusting to read this after seeing it: this movie makes you think about serious things going on now, everywhere. It carries a message of hope, a message I needed to hear instead of all the lies over and over again till it seems that everybody believes them. This movie showed me that other people too can see the lies... even make a good film about it. Rating as movie 9/10.... as a message 10/10. Oh yeah and if you're the conservative, war-loving gay-hating, muslimshooting... type of person. Don't watch this movie: it's not meant for you... you'll just give it a bad review which it doesn't deserve. To everybody else: A MUST SEE!
The Devil's Rejects (2005)
A dangerous movie for the stupid among us
It's not a bad movie, keeps you nailed at your seat, doesn't get boring. But I was getting an nasty feeling about the way the characters enjoyed killing. The fun the family had in killing innocent people was dangerously contagious. This movie almost made me go out, buy a gun and start killing people. (of course i would never do it). The problem is that this movie is making violence look like a good thing. The way the family loves being cruel, the way they laugh about it, the stupidity of their victims, actually all the fun and no moral at all, gave me a dangerous feeling. Luckily there was a pay-back time and you could see how they could suffer as much as their victims did before. You could also see how a 'good man' could turn into the same kind of murderer. And that's maybe the point of this actually really good and 'gore' horror movie. Everybody got it, just depends how you grow up and what happens to you in your life. Still a sick movie, but nice to see some 'real' revenge. But my advice to stupid people who like violence 'DON't WATCH THIS MOVIE', you could end up killing somebody.
The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
(Almost) VERY GOOD
Am not a die-hard horror fan, but I've seen a lot of them. This one is in my opinion almost very good. Some things were quite ironic, reading the worst reviews on this site, i saw that a lot of people didn't get them, and gave the movie a bad review for that. The beginning is not as boring as many other horror movies. I have no problem with the tension being built up, didn't have the feeling I had to wait to long for the action. I would have given this movie an 8 or a 9 if they had not made the same disturbing little "mistakes" as I see in many horror movies. But maybe even that were a little jokes(?). One of the things I hate is that when a group of people is getting murdered: Why ???? DO They always go away on their own, normal sane people would stick together. But recalling how the movie went on, I can forgive that. But if you almost kill somebody KILL him again, I hate it when they are getting up again and continue doing some nasty things. But again, seemed almost like a kind of wink. So it's (not)exagerated, must be the influence of the genre. For a horror movie it is really nice, some real emotions in it. The two 'big boys' in the movie are not doing much. The 'director' must be a democrat. :-) And for once the child, the baby, is not making the movie incredibly annoying, but doing the opposite, father-child part, nice! Good movie
Fantastic Four (2005)
Just some easy no thinking FUN....
Such a low score for a funny movie. This movie, is brainless popcorn-fun. But at least I had a good time watching it. Made me laugh a couple of times. Not too many boring moments. And the fantastic four are some nice people. Kind of liked them i must say. Not like the other guy, spider man, pfff so boring. Oh and Jessica Alba is running around naked... :-), only that makes the movie worth watching it. They should make a sequel of this one. I would have given it a 7/10, but i gave it an 8 cause this score of 6/10(now at the moment on IMDb) is really not enough It deserves more than that. It's not a big, great movie. But after a hard day of work, it can be good to switch of the brain a little. And this movie worked fine for me.
Killing Zoe (1993)
doubled my heartbeat
Saw this movie twice. First time was a about ten years ago, when I was still a teenager. Almost forgot about it, but when i saw it again I realized this movie really shocked me at that time, and I even must admit that it still does. It starts off kind of slow, but that's just a tease for what's about to come. Don't watch this if you're weak at heart, not that it is that explicit, but the violence is kind of brutal, no sentimental bullshit, no mercy. If somebody ever asks me to rob a bank, I definitely say no. I almost wanted to give this a 9/10, but mmm, the first part should have been just a little more intriguing. Once they're in the bank, oh man!
