Joey King
Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Brian Tyree Henry

Snakes on a train. Didn’t they do this, already? Oh, no, wait, that was on a plain. Snakes ON A PLAIN. This one is on a train. Yes, okay. Well, Brad Pitt is in it. That’s good, isn’t it? If you like him. You know, as an actor. I must admit that I don’t know […]

Road Trains: A Meaningless Rant About Truckles

The Instant Death & Disaster Show! Just imagine, if you will, the great Australian outback: mile after endless mile of absolutely nothing but dry red sands, and the occasional kangaroo. It’s hot. And empty. And vast. Through it cuts one, immeasurable ribbon of tarmac, leading from point A to nowhere, forever and ever. On it, […]

Director

Terry Gilliam

Cast

Christolph Waltz
Lucas Hedges
Melanie Thierry
David Thewliss
Lily Cole

‘You’re quite insane, Mr. Leth…’ They say that to really understand someone, you need to see inside their house. If the same thing goes for movies and minds, I think I like Terry Gilliam. He was once a member of the legendary Flying Circus of Monty Python, and since then wrote, among other things, the […]

Big Hair T. and the Fence-Licking Donkey

Watching Birds of Prey, that Harley Quin-movie from DCEU (yeah, I know… But it was on TV with nothing better on, so I thought…) while under heavy influence of some truly excellent weed and lots of cheap beer is (or so I imagine) a bit like attending a The Wall-concert from Pink Floyd, completely sober. […]

Squishier Things

Since it’s apparently that time of year again to get all squishy about family and ‘gezelligheid’ and all that shit, I thought I’d make a little list of my favorite end-of-year movies, in no particular order. Enjoy. The Hobbit Once, a long, long time ago in a universe far, far away, I rented a VCR […]

Synopsis

Neo-Tokyo is in danger. Anime to the rescue

Director

Katsuhiro Otoma

Cast

Who cares?

Some movies just blow you away. Whether it’s because of a great story, superb acting or stunning visuals (preferably all three, of course), there are films out there that just leave you staring, with eyes wide and an open mouth, in an almost childlike bewilderment. Avatar did that to me, as well as some entries […]

Jamie Foxx
Jason Clarke
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Richard Jenkins
James Wood

I love movies. I always have. All sorts of movies, from totally weird shit like Eraserhead from David Lynch all the way down to Harry effing Potter, I love ‘m all. The one category of films that brought me by far the most pleasure over the years is the Big, Loud, Dumb Action-movie. There’s just […]

Director

Daniel Epinosa

Cast

Jared Leto
Adria Arjona
Matt Smith
Jared Harris
Michael Keaton

Sucking blood This is totally insane, and probably nothing like any movie-review you ever read, or are ever going to read, but here goes. If my name was Morbius, I probably too would drink human blood. With that sort of name, I’d might as well call myself Dracula and move into a castle in Transylvania. […]

I have three gods in my pantheon: Jim, Jimi and Herman. (That is, for those of you that are not American: Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Herman Brood.) All pantheons all need a degree of lesser gods, so there are: Stephen King, Freddy Mercury, Bobby Fischer, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Elon Musk [EDITOR’S NOTE: What is wrong […]
