Elvis
(2022)

Entertaining but not great
It was indeed an average entertaining movie.

I don't understand though why Tom Hanks speaks english like a polish guy, sometimes like a german or sometimes like Hercules Poirot with a french accent...really weird 😆

Kolonel Parker was dutch from the Netherlands as origin and a dutch person that speaks english is very specific in sound.

A lot happened and at the same time it didn't feel cohesive. Can"t exactly put my finger on it. I missed something, it felt a little bit superficial.

Although the acting of Elvis and his mother was great.

All and all...not to shaby...it gives a good overview of how we he started, the bumps he encountered.

The Invisible Man
(2020)

Liked it
I liked it a lot. Very enterraining and the right amount og suspense.

Ideal for a cozy night on the couch.

Acting was not too bad. Some scenes were too dark though.

Greenland
(2020)

Nice movie evening. Story...not only destruction
Certainly not an epic movie but overall good and entertaining.

There is a storyline that keeps the attention drawn. A disaster movie that is nog only focused on the destruction and I loved that.

Stay Close
(2021)

I liked it! 👍🏻
It might not be a 10 but it was actually quite good! I expected the worst because of the reviews. The story was interesting and enough turns and characters. Give it a chance and judge for yourself.

Lost in Space
(2018)

I totally loved it!
This is a great series. Visually and story wise. A lot of action/drama. I don't understand the bad ratings. Maybe I didn't have any expectations at all...and I started watching without bias. For me this series is highly entertaining, visually absolutely gourgeous and the story line is captive, although a bit cliché...But that is the case with a lot of movies or series.

I find the series to be credible..what I mean is that the costumes and the rest is not so far off that it is just not realistic anymore. It could be a story about the reality in for example 20 years. All and all superb story

Tulip Fever
(2017)

If you like period drama, do not listen to the negative critics!
I loved it...I really did. It is slow paced, what I absolutely like. The costumes where beautiful and detailed. Also the scenery was well done and gave an atmosphere of how it used to be.

Worth watching...not the best...but really enjoyed it!

The Mist
(2017)

Do not blindly accept the negative comments, judge for yourself! I liked it!!!
I do not understand all those hysterical negative comments, especially about propaganda and politics and so on.

I was hesitant to give it a go because of all the bad comments. Sadly Ihad to browse to the last reviews to hear another sound. And boy, Im I happy I did that! Based on some more intelligent and sound comments I started to watch it. And I like it...a lot!!!

Is this a top notch series? Nope...Is this worth a 10? Not at all... But it was good...much better then a lot of people will let you believe here. It grabbed me fast after a few episodes, and it really tickled my curiosity.

I like the story thread and for me it is exiting and interesting and has the REAL King feeling.

And also it is slow paced...I love slow paced in this crazy world. It raises a couple of profound questions on life, on good and bad, on manipulation.... For those who like flat horror monster stuff with a lot of blood, this is not for you! It is for those with broader minds and enough of imagination and capacity of self reflection. I do give it a stern 7 score...It could have been just that tad better. But a 7 in my book is a real good score. Give it a chance and make up you OWN mind!

American Gods
(2017)

I totally digged this!
Really, I don't understand some reviews. This is different, surprising, great atmosphere just BRILLIANT The first episode we reacted like: weird, but goooood, but weird :-) After that one we were hooked! This is not for the mainstream crap viewer although! A witty mind that understands certain type of humor and can spot it is required. Besides that is an interest in certain gods very handy. Or just open your google so you can check from time to time. Amaaaazing series!!!!

Self/less
(2015)

This movie was really really good...
To me this movie was the way I like them. A good story combined with the just amount of mystery and action. I do not understand why the critics or some users didn't like it. It was highly entertaining and I was not bored for one minute. Of course it probably isn't the mainstream blockbuster kind of movie people like. So it is not for everyone maybe.

Is the story really Original? No, but for a good movie it hasn't to be..The questions the theme raised are interesting too..All and all I really advise this movie if you are looking for a good Saturday evening movie with a slight dose of suspense, which makes this film very digestible.I hope you will enjoy the movie yourself. It was worth while....

Extant
(2014)

I totally love this series!! Don't understand the overcritical comments....
I really do not understand the bad comments that I read here. In my opinion some people are too overcritical en sifting mosquitoes (as we say in Belgium).

It is highly entertaining, with a good dash of mystery and a story that can keep me interested and fascinated. In some comments I read that it is not original and done before. Well that goes for a lot of movies or series. I love the fact that it is not too fast paced,and that there are different story elements.

Well, I guess tastes are different. Normally I am very picky with my movies and series, so I do not see anything wrong with this. Quite the contrary!

Try it and just enjoy the ride!!
