A movie to remember
Touching and impressive movie about unfillfilled dreams, both the complexity and simplicity of growing old, and the love of a son for his fatherFrozen

Already a classic
A gem. Loaded with great moments, beautiful songs, heartfelt emotion and it looks stunning. My boys ranked it number one, despite their general disapproval of anything princes-related.RockmeNow

Beautifully animated modern fairytale
This one has the whole package: incredible graphics, lovable characters and convincing storytelling. Though I am not a big fan of main characters singing in movies like this, it did not disturb me too much....1917
Two soldiers are ordered to leave the WWI trenches and head into German territory to deliver a crucial message
Wittenberg

Unique and terrific war movie
Part of me wished the 'single shot' peculiarity wasn't part of the hype, because you start paying attention to it and get drawn out rather than into the story. But it still contributes massively to a unique vibe and flow of this terrific war movie.Poor Things
A scientist revives a woman, who then explores the world and herself through the eyes of a child

An irresistably bizarre and unqiue movie
A wildly bizarre but incredibly rich movie, that is beautiful to look at, features amazing characters, is surprisingly funny and is simply unlike anything else - without being arrogant about it.A Dark Song
Grieving woman isolates hersef with an expert to perform a dark ritual so she may see her diseased son one more time
Wittenberg

Elevated and unique horror
I love the concept of how they are real, fallible human beings meticulously trying to get this ritual to work over the course of weeks, getting more frustrated, breakable and delusional in the process. The supernatural elements are subtle and open to interpretation. Fantastic.Dunkirk
On the rescue efforts to save thousands of soldiers are trapped in Dunkirk in WW2
Wittenberg

A superb movie that makes you anxious to get off that beach too
Has a unique atmosphere, with a focus not so much on horror but more on the continuous ominous threat. The imagery on seas, land and in the air is outstanding, and I must also mention the extraordinary music that makes you tremble with fear for almost the entire movie.Whiplash
Ambitious young jazz drummer is pushed over the edge by a conductor with extreme teaching practices

Incredibly intense and tighyl shot
For a moment or so, I thought I noticed some story/character things to whine about. But the brutal, loud, incredibly tightly shot and exhilarating combat scenes made me forget all about that. Also proves that there's still merit in the 'rooky joins the team' story.Star Wars: The Force Awakens
A map to the location of vanished Luke skywalker causes good and bad to hunt down one another, and a new giant new planet killer device lurks.

And the saga continues!
This incredible movie fully lives up to the expectations. Prepare to be sucked into the star wars universe right from the start. The storyline of the initial 3 star wars movies is partially re-used with the offspring of the initial characters in the lead. Nevertheless, I enjoyed every minute of it!Wittenberg
30-12-2015
A great, big bad continuation of a great movie
A wonderful blast that looks and feels fantastic, and adds some nice designs and elements to the Star Wars universe. The story though, felt more like an ode to the originals rather adding a lot to it. Building an even bigger deathstar thing was cheap.Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Human survivors of a global virus outbrake need access to a dam, but this is the realm of the apes
Wittenberg
31-07-2014
Strong and proud
This movie is like the apes in it: strong, proud, majestic, thrilling and mystical. Very well balanced stuff. My only gripe is that the apes started talking too much with needlessly accurate grammar. The little words and hand signs were more impressive.The Good Dinosaur
In an alternate universe, where dinos weren't extinct and humans are the pets, the two of them are destined to embark on an adventure to find home
Wittenberg
28-12-2015
Gorgeously rendered survival and friendship story
Contrasting with the somewhat simplistically drawn dino's, the details and shattering beauty of the scenery is unreal. This, combined the wonderfully weird animals and a heartfelt and profound (albeit not quite original) story, gives a grandiose animation movie.Star Trek into Darkness
The pursuit of a terrorist into Klingon space gets the Enterprise into trouble

Ladies and gentlemen: a sequel that's better than the original
It's got the same visual style but vastly more beautiful and elaborate. It's got the same synth-music but it is thicker and more intense. It's still a slow mover but more engrossing while doing so. It's got similar story elements but it's deeper. So like, it's better!The Dallas buyers club

The most audacious and genius movie ever, but does that mean enjoybale
Clearly we have another Nolan gem on our hands, in terms of visuals, music and the mind blowing story. Initially I wondered if the complexity was just too much, getting in the way of enjoyment. But as it starts to digest in days after, you begin to grasp the sheer genius and audacity of this.Jacob's Ladder (1990)

An unsettling study on the layers of reality
One of those movies where you wish you could intervene and wake up the main character from his dream-in-a-dream-in-a-dream-in-a-nightmare.The Witch (The VVitch)
Exiled to live at the edge of a forest, a deeply religeous family is terrorized by a witch which causes them to turn on each other as well

Effective through authenticity
It's not necessarily scary like jump scare horror, but the outstanding depiction of the Puritan life and language, together with restrained but terrifying witchcraft make for one of the better horrors of recent times.Sunshine

Beauty and class can outshine anything
This amount of loopholes and illogical elements in the plot would have crippled most movies. But Sunshine is so beautiful, classy and exciting that it outshines them easily. I also love the self aware, scientific-ethical attitude of the crew.Avatar

An epic mix
Like me, Cameron has a passion for nature, magical creatures, peace and harmony, but also likes hardcore scifi ships, mechs and guns fighting a macho testosterone war. Somehow it works together, in a beautiful, lively and stunning epic that also manages to connect emotionally.Kung Fu Panda 2

Still goosebumps
It is literally and figuratively a bit dark at times, but it still reaches the very high standards of it's predecessor. Funny and exciting on the one hand, but very touching and heartfelt when need be. It has not one but several scenes that give a grown man like me goosebumps - every single time.Time Lapse

Hats off to the minds that can cook up a story like this
A mind boggling story that continuously left me balancing on whether I was aboard or not, and had me drawing diagrams the next morning. And as if the story weren't complex enough, their is still room for an additional twist at the end too. Very clever.Blonde

Beautiful bad trip
I was not particularly interest in her backstory, and expected a long biography with loud fifties music to claim authenticity. Instead, this turned out a highly artistic, dreamy and beautiful bad trip that I found very gripping and mesmerizing. Suitable for non-fans.Die Hard

Comfortable uncomforable sex
With mixed feelings of embarrassment and compassion you are allowed to observe these wonderfully open, honest en tender sessions. These actors deliver an amazingly fragile performance and the movie keeps everything light with a good sense of humor as well.The Eyes of my Mother

Up with Tarantino's standards and trademak style
A bold, daring and violent way to address slavery, full of Tarantino-style endless chit-chat and under-the-skin tension that somehow keeps you on the edge of your seat. I thought Django himself was overshadowed and flat, but then again I am not a big fan of Foxx.Oppenheimer

A fascinating drama disguised as an adrenline action ride
A very intense and splendidly shot, acted and directed movie. But part of me thought Nolan was cheating, by presenting what is essentially a drama as an pumping action movie, using all of his film-making prowess. There was a dissonance beween what was actually happening and how it was presented.Memoria

Wittenberg
11-11-2022
A shocker with depth
Jack's methods are not slick, but somewhat insecure and clumsy, which only adds to a the morbid sensation of watching going about his work and dragging around corpses. His constant dialogues with his conscience (?) and the peculiar use of stock footage elevates this movie from just being a shocker.Kubo and the Two Strings
Stop motion animation about a young boy who enters a ghostly realm to flee from dark enemies and prepare for a confrontation with his grandpa, who is after the boys eye.

A wonderfully bad trip
To think that someone made up this story, somehow decided it was finished, and concluded it was ready to make a movie out of it is even more baffling the the movie itself. But here it is, and I am glad it is. A wild ride, bizarre, disorienting but also skillfully made, intriguing and unique.Inside Out

One of the most unique, brave and original movies ever to come out of a major animation studio. A collage of symbolism en abstractions that is still child-friendly and a great experience.

Very distrubing and very well done
Why do people make movies like this? Why do I watch it? Why do I rate it favorably? It's hard to understand, but somehow it made sense.

So people were complaining this had no depth, but were fine with Avengers? Screw that.
