Or it's out of annoyance, because that's what this movie did to me. It annoyed me immensely. Not only because of the fact that the subject has been used already infinite number of times, but also because of the ambiguities and ridiculous situations. Apparently it's a remake of a famous French action film. However, this American version is provided with too much out-of-proportion incidents and exaggerated action scenes. It made the movie totally implausible.</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class=""></span></span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">It all starts with a robbery conducted by Vincent Downs (<b>Jamie</b> "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2013/06/django-unchained-2012.html" target="_blank">Django Unchained</a>" <b>Foxx</b>) and his partner Sean (<b>T.I.</b>). The loot consists of a huge number of kilos of cocaine. Unfortunately, this cocaine belongs to the illustrious casino owner Rubino (<b>Dermot Mulroney</b>) who promised the drugs to a certain Novak (<b>Scoot</b> "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2017/05/aftermath-2017.html" target="_blank">Aftermath</a>" <b>McNairy</b>). And trust me, these are folks you don't want to mess with. Although, in retrospect Rubino isn't so fearless as you thought he would be. He acts more like a coward and clearly doesn't know how to handle the situation. And although Novak really looks terrifying (apparently he suffers from sleepless nights, looking at those bags under his eyes) and can fall back on a wide network of connections, the only thing he does, is give orders so others do the dirty job.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class="">Anyway. The next big thing is the abduction of Vincent's son Thomas (<b>Octavius J. Johnson</b>) during which Vincent gets stabbed with a knife in the lower abdomen. This causes a lot of blood loss and pain. No wonder that advancing becomes hard for Vincent. But don't panic. During critical moments, seemingly he forgets about this discomfort (or else he's carrying a shitload of painkillers he can inject himself with). And let's not forget about the two clownish persons (they are a kind of Starsky and Hutch) from Internal affairs, who are aware of the fact that Vincent and Sean are playing the "dirty-cop" act after work. And finally, just to ruin Vincent's day completely, his wife (or future ex-wife) is calling him every 5 minutes, asking him if he found their son already. So you'll agree when I say Vincent is having a very bad day.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">Let's talk about the positive points first (that won't take long). Are you a fan of a cool action movies? Well, you'll appreciate this movie, because the action scenes follow each other at fast-pace. <b>Jamie Foxx's</b> role isn't comparable with the one he played in "<i>Django Unchained</i>", but yet he was convincing as the hard-hitting agent who tries to save his son's ass. Novak's intelligence level isn't very high, but his psychotic, insane behavior looked terrifying real. <b>Scoot McNairy</b> excelled and played the most successful part in this negligible film.</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span title="Tot zover de positieve randopmerkingen.">Well that's enough positivity. Now let's see if I can summarize the annoying parts. First of all, the fact that the action scenes look very cliché, isn't really a problem. But <b>Jamie Foxx</b> experiencing a sort of resurrection after each fistfight, was something that got on my nerves. I'm sure Christ would be jealous of man's endurance and miraculous healings. After every fight, Foxx needs to go on more dead than alive. But a few minutes later he's back bright eyed and bushy tailed, so he can face a next opponent. Next there's this casino owner who most probably has enough money so he can afford some personal bodyguards, but still seems to be easily intimidated in his own casino. That felt completely ridiculous. And it looked as if Bryant (<b>Michelle Monaghan</b>) was standing the biggest part of the movie at the casino entrance. Watching around with that sheep-like look and realizing the case is hard to fathom. The person who would win the prize for "Most corrupt Agent of the Year", was a bit too easy to guess. You could see that coming from half a world away. But the most unlikely event is saved for the end. You'll witness how the most unlikely person takes the most decisive action for closure. Ok, so the movie doesn't lack any action. That's obvious. But contentwise, it's laughable. "<i>Sleepless</i>" is an alternative choice for a sleepless night.</span></span></span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">"<i>Aftermath</i>" is the story of a tragic plane crash between two commercial airliners. As a result their are 271 lives lost. Among them the wife and pregnant daughter of the Russian foreman Roman (<b>Arnold Schwarzenegger</b>). Don't expect staggering images of the accident with explosive footage and anxiously screaming passengers. The only image you'll see of the incident is that of Jake (<b>Scoot McNairy</b>) in the control tower looking bewildered at his screen where the two symbols of the particular line flights disappeared. And a short fragment of the place where the wreckages crashed and Roman who succeeded in joining a group of volunteers who gather evidence and locate victims. No, the film focuses on the aftermath (hence the title) and the impact the accident has on the two people involved.</span></span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">At first, I thought the plane accident was the result of a plot and the phone was deliberately sabotaged. In short, I actually expected a suspenseful thriller where <b>Arnold Schwarzenegger</b> could give someone a piece of his mind. However, don't expect an action-packed movie. "<i>Aftermath</i>" is a slowburner in which dealing with loss and guilt are key. A film focusing on central themes as grief and self-pity after a traumatic experience. It's a thorough character study of two people whose life collapsed because of this tragic accident. But underneath these emotions that feeling of revenge simmers and you wait for that obvious confrontation between the victim and the one who caused all the suffering.</span></span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">The only thing Roman wants, is someone apologizing and simply saying "We're sorry". It's a collage with images of a mourning <b>Schwarzenegger</b> and <b>Scoot McNairy</b> who can't handle his fatal error. Their emotional state is the reason why they can't function properly. Roman hides away and is no longer able to perform anything meaningful. He spends his nights sleeping on the grave of his deceased relatives. Jake retreats into a cocoon of self-pity and reproach. It ends up in an unmanageable family situation and a short-term breakup initiated by his wife (<b>Maggie Grace</b>).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">Schwarzenegger once again amazes me with a character role in a drama. Earlier he demonstrated this in "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2015/08/maggie-2015.html" target="_blank">Maggie</a>". It's an actor who has his limitations and he won't be associated quickly with roles where one's character is more important than brutal violence. Here he proves that he can handle this as good as showing his impressive muscles. The latter is not so evident anymore, considering his age. Not only his face is grooved by age. Also, his butt doesn't look as tight anymore as seen in a shower scene. Clear evidence that even an infamous action-hero can't be saved from aging. But the moment he's sitting opposite some insensible lawyers who talk to him in a disparaging tone, Schwarzenegger shows again how intimidating and imminent he can be.

<span style="font-size: large; mso-spacerun: yes;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">I myself find it fascinating to philosophize about this. Is it a continuation of present life in another era? Or solar system? Is it another dimension? A parallel time line? A rebirth? A flash back or forward in time? That's what Thomas Harber tries to prove with a newly designed machine, two years after revealing his initial discovery. A sophisticated device capable of recording one's brain after death. The fact that the images are shown on an ancient looking television and that somehow this footage can be seen on a modern tablet, amazed me. I suppose Dr. Harber also watched the movie "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2015/09/listening-2014.html" target="_blank">Listening</a>" carefully, because a similar mind-reader device is also used in that movie.</span></span></div>

Especially when there are still important aspects unproved. Here the existence of a life after death is a proven fact, but where it's leading to is still unknown. With all the consequences this entails. And that's what Will (<b>Jason Segel</b>), son of Thomas Harber, tries to accomplish. He tries to convince his father to publicly state that his theory wasn't correct. Most probably that would end the endless number of suicides. He even compares the refuge of his father, a gigantic abandoned youth hostel, with a sect. A place where people who went through some failed suicide attempts, are taken care of. For them it's a new home where they try to give a new meaning to their life. With the help of an occasional pep talk from Thomas Harber himself.</span></span></span></span></div>

But it's the denouement that makes the puzzle pieces finally fall into place. Strange but true. Although it's in essence extremely romantic, they still succeeded not to make it a cheesy and corny ending. Besides the rather grandiose performances by <b>Jesse Plemons</b> (as the faithful son) and <b>Rooney Mara</b>, it's especially the atmosphere that impressed. The images used are a representation of the state of mankind : gloomy, depressing and dark. In other words, the movie won't make you happy. The empty ferry, the abandoned roads, yet another funeral and last but not least the apathetic residents whose miserable final (drastic) attempt to enjoy a bit of luck again, unfortunately failed. Redford and Segel fit perfectly in this movie, because they were rather dull and colorless as well. "<i>The discovery</i>" isn't a cheerful movie, but worthwhile to give it a go. Even if it's just because of the surprising and hopeful conclusion.</span> </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"> </span></span></div>

And no, it wasn't the cannibalistic feast that confused a bit. Or that distressing feeling that creeps over you when you think that your own children could be in a similar situation. For me, the final images of emaciated bodies touched me. I was just wondering how they could have accomplished this technically. And of course there's the ultimate question: what the hell was in that box?</span></span><br />

Gradually I got this feeling that I was watching a movie from the old days. A kind of "Where-can-I-hide-the-body" game. It made me laugh instead of making me scared. A Hitchcockian story that featured itself as a stage-play. Actually, this is the only story that's not really classifiable as horror. It rather shows how an individual experiences an embarrassing situation.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> "<i>Do not fall</i>" falls within the category "Familiar horror
subject", where a collection of petroglyphs are the cause that a number
of youngsters end up in a staggering nightmare. Their camping trip
somewhere in a desert doesn't evolve like they expected. The final story
"<i>Her only living son</i>" is the most diabolical story. It's more like a
"<i>Rosemary's Baby</i>" story, but this time the mother flees with her son and
tries to influence his destiny. A growing motherly instinct just to
protect her only son from ultimate evil.</span></div>

They are more of a demonstration of maternal fear when it comes to their growing kids. Isn't it so that every mother wants their loving daughter to have a magnificent birthday party? And that at all costs. And are there mothers who don't have nightmares about their children becoming anorexic or their sons turning their backs on them because of a harmful influence? This has been incorporated in these short stories (besides "<i>Don't fall</i>"). The biggest frustration in each of the four stories is the lack of explanation. At the end of each story, one stays with some pertinent questions. Indeed, what was in that box? Did David commit suicide in "<i>The Birtday Party</i>"? Who drew those petroglyphs and what was the meaning? Even the stop-motion film in between the short stories, was quite confusing.</span></span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span title="Wat waren die petrogliefen in “Don’t fall"?

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="">It wasn't highly original. It was very interesting though. Technically it looked really superb sometimes. The still-life pictures of cooked meals in "<i>The box</i>". The successful transformation in "<i>Don't fall</i>" given the limited budget. The gloomy and melancholic mood in "<i>The Birtday Party</i>" and the cruelty in "<i>Her only living son</i>". I only had this feeling that the stories contained much more content than they could show in such a short film. In short, the time span confined the brilliancy of these movies in a way.</span></span><span class=""></span></span> </div>

"<i>Remember This House</i>", this acclaimed,Oscar nominated documentary by Raoul
Peck seeks to complete what Baldwin might have written. With footage of
Baldwin's television interviews (when everyone, it seems smoked like a
chimney), his address to the Cambridge university student union and
excerpts from his writings, voiced by <b>Samuel L. Jackson</b>, the film takes
us through the build up to the American civil rights movement, the era
of activism during the movement itself and the aftermath which we are
still seeing today.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Baldwin, who died in 1987, would now be called
an African American, would then have been a black man and earlier
still, a negro, was a novelist, essayist, playwright and social critic.
However his book might have turned out, this film takes his many
personas and tries to use them all to create an overview of the black
experience in the USA. It doesn't always work. The country, the topic
and the man are all too complex too shoehorn into one documentary.
Baldwin also has a particular style of writing and speaking, not to
mention thinking. And that, at times, is the film's weakness. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYOGK2Nh8DaiUScSTKPAZuZWT4SonpiC7Wg11sDkH3FTxb7lgtM1Gd5cHpmCT0-UzoK8VCFZLIlbW18MXO4OKh2pCmjiuUOXz_7sLR2GxYZ37nWFUN6KtjcJVw5Xfiv_-Ei8VR1Y36D_o/s1600/Rehna.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYOGK2Nh8DaiUScSTKPAZuZWT4SonpiC7Wg11sDkH3FTxb7lgtM1Gd5cHpmCT0-UzoK8VCFZLIlbW18MXO4OKh2pCmjiuUOXz_7sLR2GxYZ37nWFUN6KtjcJVw5Xfiv_-Ei8VR1Y36D_o/s640/Rehna.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Baldwin
can have an acquired taste as writer and thinker. His mannered
presentation and intellectual distance can get jarring at times, because
they add an extra barrier between his experience and what you are trying
to understand through him. Two people at my press screening walked out
less than halfway into the film. The woman next to me fidgeted and
sighed heavily at various points and made to leave more than once
although she did eventually stay until the end. Baldwin's rather
detached style, however, can't take away from the tumultuous events he
lived through and the enormity of the historical relevance of the people
he knew; Dr Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Medgar Evers. Had the
film anchored itself around these three figures as experienced by
Baldwin, it might have been more compelling.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTreEEX8vDLx7WGLwNIhWLTXvHS3dvNitglCYlgJjVReA4CFhSAyEzfr-aKw4Ti-z256cCzhFpfvi15IHwIMTJuZ4uZ-K4dZXrWQtyMr59ec8ui6VQjXzY0HjzNkb35sNwVgLlUyVAo7g/s1600/Knipsel6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTreEEX8vDLx7WGLwNIhWLTXvHS3dvNitglCYlgJjVReA4CFhSAyEzfr-aKw4Ti-z256cCzhFpfvi15IHwIMTJuZ4uZ-K4dZXrWQtyMr59ec8ui6VQjXzY0HjzNkb35sNwVgLlUyVAo7g/s640/Knipsel6.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Baldwin is at his
most effective when he lets the emotion come through in his writing.
That's when <b>Samuel L. Jackson</b> brilliantly captures the essence of the man
and you are drawn most into what he is saying. Incidentally, this voice
work may well be Jackson's best work generally since "<i>Pulp Fiction</i>".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jackson
speaks over, among other things, clips from the adverts and movies of
the 1960s as well as earlier examples going back to the 1930s as Baldwin
analyses what he calls the “mirror stage” of culture that black people
went through in America in those years.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As children they watched the
movies of the day and cheered for the white heroes only to then see
themselves in the mirror and realise they, in fact, more resembled the
dark 'baddies' and Indians they had booed. This is when the film is at
its strongest. When it seeks to come up to date with photographs and
footage of President Obama and Black Lives Matter protests this doesn't
always work. The film becomes 'bitty' trying to link too many threads of
a complex situation into a cohesive whole. However, there is no denying
the force of the words and visuals from the 60s which Baldwin saw first
hand, lived through and recorded for posterity.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It would have been interesting to see what thoughts and analysis his unfinished work might have revealed.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Clearly
screenwriters believe that the way to a cinema goer's heart (and wallet)
may be through the stomach too. In the past few years we've had a
gluttony(!) of films where food, more specifically, those who cook it,
chefs, have been the main protagonist. "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2014/09/chef-2014.html" target="_blank">Chef</a>", "<i>The Hundred Foot Journey</i>",
"<i>Ratatouille</i>", "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2016/01/burnt-2015.html" target="_blank">Burnt</a>", "<i>The Chef</i>", "<i>Julie and Julia</i>" and "<i>No Reservations</i>" have all
centred around the life and dramas of cooks. <b>Michael Shannon</b> is
the latest actor to don an apron and sharpen his kitchen knives - in
this case for possible nefarious purposes in <i>"Frank and Lola",</i> which is out on DVD now.<br />
He plays Frank, a chef in Las Vegas who trained in Paris and dreams of
opening his own restaurant while grumpily serving up exquisite meals for
dinner parties held by demanding wealthy private clients.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However, his culinary skills begin to play second fiddle to his emotions
when he meets and quickly falls in love with Lola (<b>Imogen </b>"<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2016/08/green-room-2015.html" target="_blank">Green Room</a>" <b>Poots</b>), after
saying he doesn't easily fall in love. Lola is a troubled young woman
who is clearly hiding something beneath the artsy fashion designer
persona Frank first sees. When she cheats on Frank in an anonymous hotel
room on the Vega strip and explains it as being the result of an
abusive experience when much younger, Frank becomes embroiled in her
past as well as intense emotions he has hitherto not revealed. Is Lola a
glib liar messing with Frank's head or is the Frenchman from her past
playing him and her? Whether it's the golds of Vegas or the deeps
reds of Paris, the film is beautifully shot and lit. The glamour and
shine of the surroundings enveloping the glamorous, wealthy people who
inhabit them. But the passions of these people are dark and the film
wears it's noir palette well too.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Frank and Lola" </i>is
Matthew Ross' first feature as writer and director and it took him the
best part of a decade to get it made, moving the setting from New York
to the glitzier Vegas at the request of producers. The change works well
enough. The town and subject matter complement each other black and
gold tend to do. The film is ultimately about male jealousy, the
betrayal within love and the primeval desire for revenge which can
overtake the most mild mannered once passion is involved. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As a
director, Ross makes a more assured debut than as a writer. While he
puts in enough twists and turns to keep you guessing what might happen
next, the characters aren't compelling enough to care a great deal
about. Both Shannon and Poots do their best to imbue Frank and Lola with
the believability that a film like this, based around a relationship,
needs and although the writing doesn't always help them, they keep the
story going with their efforts.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The food isn't as central as it is
in other foodie films but a group of us were invited to have our very
own 'masterchef' moment when we attended to cook a three course meal at
the Underground cookery school in London, in honour of the DVD release
of Frank and Lola. It was a fantastic experience not least because we
got to eat the fruits of our endeavours at the end.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As we cooked,
Frank and Lola was playing on a screen in the background. It provided a
stylish and beautiful backdrop to a great evening.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Abe is an ambitious young journalist at an independent Chicago weekly.
He has a lead on a story that could make his career. Debra, a woman
claiming to work in national security, has a serious revelation to leak.
She insists on meeting Abe in a desolate place in the American West -
perhaps because it is near her undisclosed work site, or perhaps because
she will only reveal her information in absolute isolation.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I really like to watch non-traditional, artistic and mysterious films where there's room for a little bit of interpretation. Such a movie with different layers you ponder about afterwards. The problem with "<i>If there's a hell below</i>" (and no, it's not horror) is the fact that little is offered to ponder about. As uninformed as you start the movie, as uninformed you'll be at the end of the film. Truly an explanation of what's exactly going on, you shouldn't be expecting. To be honest, you end up with more unanswerable questions. And my biggest frustration is that I really wanted to know what Debra (<b>Carol Roscoe</b>) wanted to bring out into the open.</span><br />

As a "senior information processing engineer" it would have been better if she had searched a bit better through Abe's background, because In my opinion this guy wasn't fit for the job. She knew his name, social security number and who he called that day. You can say she has her reliable sources. But finding out that he's a pedantic smart ass who can't or doesn't want to estimate the seriousness of this case, probably was too much to ask. Debra wants to reveal something that concerns the national security. What implications this information will bring after revealing it and why Debra wants to do this initially, isn't explained thorougly. Something about a list of names and a hysterical plea about leaders who manipulate poor people to make sure people like Abe can have their necessary gadgets.

The information she's about to reveal obviously is very sensitive information. Before they know it, they are being chased by an unknown SUV. The biggest annoyance for me (beside the complete lack of information) was mainly Abe's behavior. When you're preparing for a secret meeting with someone from the inteligence service for several months already and you know she's going to reveal some highly sensitive information with far-reaching consequences, you should also assume this isn't without risk. Well, apparently Abe doesn't see it that way and looks at it as a typical fait d'hiver. Why else would he briefly take a look at the suspicious SUV? And he refuses to continue driving during a pursuit, because Debra can't or won't give him a detailed explanation. Plain stupid and quite annoying.</span></span><span title="En weigert hij verder te rijden tijdens een achtervolging, omdat Debra hem geen gedetailleerde uitleg kan of wil geven."></span></span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">"<i>If there's a hell below</i>" certainly won't be appreciated by everyone. It is fairly minimalistic and mainly displays stylistic images of a bone dry, flat desert landscape with Debra and Abe having some superficial conversations while driving through this landscape with an occasional stop. That's another thing I was wondering about. Why the hell did they meet in this region? It's impossible to hide for anyone. The only deviating elements were the two stories told by Abe and one of the pursuers. Although the film is painfully slow, there are some moments of intense tension.</span></span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">But I can tell you one thing. After the credits you will look in amazement at the screen, totally confused and full of questions that'll never be answered. I have no idea why it had to end like this. Were there hidden clues in the two stories about the caterpillars and turtles? Was it intentional of Abe to put false facts in his story? Couldn't he forsee that Debra knew the composition of his family? And how could Schafer know certain elements of that story? Was the story of the turtles a kind of parable? A hint about Debra? About her destiny? And what was the device Debra used in the beginning? Too many questions and no answers. Just guesses. For some, this will be the strength of the film. Room for interpretation. Well, it was a stylistic work of art. In terms of story however, it was a bit too enigmatic to me.</span></span> </div>

First of all because I'm not dying to see a movie with <b>Jennifer Lawrence</b> acting in it. Even if the antagonist is played by the charming <b>Chris Pratt</b>. And also because there were a lot of indications that this would be a typical romantic space story. I thought this would be the galactic version of "<i>Titanic</i>". Only that the spacecraft won't hit a banal iceberg and those two turtledoves won't be standing on the bow of the ship while embracing eachother intimately with a cosmic wind rustling through their hair. Or maybe a modern version of "<i>Loveboat</i>" (only the dwarf dressed up in a futuristic garb is missing). All in all the romantic drool section wasn't such a big of a deal. And to my surprise it was more a visual SciFi spectacle than a love story about two remaining passengers spending the rest of their days on a luxurious spacecraft.</span></span></span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span title="Om eerlijk te zijn was het eerste gedeelte zowel fascinerend als heerlijk humoristisch.">To be honest, the first part was both fascinating and wonderfully humorous. The spaceship looked impressive. The first images of the huge dormitory where all pods are standing in which thousands of passengers are sleeping an artificial sleep, were mind blowing. They are on their way, along with a few hundred crew members, to a better place to found a new colony. When a comet storm throws a spanner in the works, it's Jim Preston (<b>Chris Pratt</b>) who first wakes up. Unfortunately for him it'll still take 90 years before they reach their final destination. That's the beginning of the more humorous part. Not high quality humor, but still good enough for a few chuckle moments. The way Jim spends his free time and his entertaining conversations with Arthur (<b>Michael Sheen</b>), a robotic bartender, provide some funny moments. And all this takes place in beautifully constructed sets and breathtaking interiors. One thing is certain, they spared no expense when designing this gigantic spaceship.</span></span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span title="Eén ding is zeker, op een cent hebben ze niet gekeken bij het ontwerpen van dit gigantisch ruimteschip."></span></span> </div>

Time to provide Jim with a feminine counterbalance. That's when Aurora (<b>Jennifer Lawrence</b>) enters the scene. In terms of good looks, both of them belong together Tinder-wise. Them having beautiful children is written in the stars. Well, this is the beginning of the romantic chapter in which both start to scan eachother meticulously and carefully, start to know each other better and finally in terms of intimacy are a perfect match. Despite my fear, the romance part remained fairly limited. The only thing I noticed is that Jennifer Lawrence hasn't only grown what acting concerns. Either there were some hormonal changes or there has been a medical intervention. Something I noticed immediately. However, her acting part was rather limited. It seemed as if they gave Jim the most sensual female toy from the entire crew. Of course an obligated pool scene had to be included I guess. Allthough, it looked extremely spectacular (and no I'm not talking about the feminine curves of J. Lawrence) due to a malfunctioning artificial gravity. </span></span> <br />

Sometimes it made me think of "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.si/2014/01/gravity-2013.html" target="_blank">Gravity</a>" and "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.si/2015/11/the-martian-2015.html" target="_blank">The Martian</a>", but that didn't really bother me. You see, it's kind of a mixture of different genres. The most vulnerable part of the film is the limited cast (ultimately it's only Jim and Aurora you'll see). To be honest, nothing wrong can be said about their performances and indeed there's a chemistry between the two protagonists. The only thing I was disappointed about is the way the moral issue is swept under the table in a cheap and easy way. The moment this became a problematic and delicate subject, they increased the action and it disappeared into the background. What a shame because this moral issue was more interesting than the clichéd action section. Would he have done this to me, I would have kicked his ass into infinite space for sure. But despite this chapter full of moderate, predictable action and a romanticized ending, this movie appealed to me. I'm glad I didn't wait to see it on the small screen, but now I could enjoy its greatness in the cinema. And no, I'm not talking about J. Lawrence again!</span></span><span title="En nee, dan ben ik niet alweer bezig over J. Lawrence !"></span></span> </span></div>

</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ben Affleck</b> isn't exactly one of my favorite actors. Not that he's such a terrible actor, but he's such a smooth guy who manages to play in some outstanding movies every time. Movies that didn't leave an everlasting impression on me anyway. In retrospect, it's really a giant list I've seen him in, such as "<i>The Accountant</i>", "<i>Suicide Squad</i>", "<i>Batman v Superman</i>", "<i>Gone Girl</i>", "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.si/2014/01/runner-runner-2013.html" target="_blank">Runner Runner</a>", "<i>Paycheck</i>", "<i>Changing Lanes</i>", "<i>Pearl Harbor</i>" and "<i>Daredevil</i>" (absolutely his worst performance). The only memorable role he played was in "<i>Good Will Hunting</i>". Most probably it's due to the participation of Matt Damon and Robin Williams. He was also succesfull as a producer and directed the absolute masterpiece "<i>Argo</i>". With "<i>Live by Night</i>" he tries to be succesfull as leading actor and at the same time as a producer. But that's a bridge too far in my opinion.</span> </span> <br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1">The result is pleasing to the eye, but storywise it's all rather messy and hopelessly complicated. The multiple story lines follow each other in a terrible pace. The main thread is about the prohibition era and illegal trade of alcoholic beverages. Furthermore there are some side plots in which the main role is claimed by a female character. At first Emma Gould (<b>Sienna Miller</b>), mistress of a mafia boss. Then there's the sister of a Cuban business partner (<b>Zoe Saldana</b>). And finally, the daughter (<b>Ella Fanning</b>) of the sheriff from Tampa who's being rescued by Joe (<b>Ben Affleck</b>) after she pursuit her luck in Hollywood and ended up as an addicted prostitute. Afterwards she turns out to be a prophet of doom who boycotts Joe's plan to build a huge casino in Tampa.</span> <br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">Just like "<i>Argo</i>", this is an adaptation of a book by Dennis Lehane. In the past it's often proved that making a film based on a book isn't that easy. The big problem is to reproduce the details of a book into a movie. Usually as a result you get a jam packed film crammed with tangled storylines. The solution would be to split it up into multiple movies. But that's not really applicable to "<i>Live by night</i>". The most succesfull part is the way they portrayed this era by using excellent camerawork. A realistic view of America from the 20s, thanks to the magnificent sets, beautiful costumes and authentic props. Ultimately it's not a truly epic gangster film, but the chase with oldtimers at the beginning of the film and the explosive ending led to some impressive images.</span></span><br />

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">In my opinion the biggest problem in this not so bad film, was the acting of Affleck himself. And this has nothing to do with his talent as an actor but rather with his goody-goody appearance. Without a doubt many mothers hope that their daughter would hook up with such a perfect guy. Ideal son in law material, so to speak. But as a gangster he fails completely. Because of his likeable appearance his performance is absolutely implausible. Had they given this part to Michael Shannon for example, the tone of the film would have been harsher and more intimidating. You can safely say this was an ambitious project, but unfortunately it's a soft version of any leading gangster epic from the past.</span></span> </span></div>

<br />
Are you a recovering addict and you're offered to stay at "<i>Havenhurst</i>" as aftercare, you'd better make sure you do not slide back into your bad habit. The result is an eviction from this gigantic baroque looking building in downtown New York. A normal eviction would involve you packing your bags and closing the door behind you in an agitated mood. If your stay is terminated at "<i>Havenhurst</i>", the eviction is quite painful and final. But you can be sure of one thing. You won't fall of the wagon ever again.</span></span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The person who moves to "<i>Havenhurst</i>" is Jackie (<b>Julie Benz</b>), a recovering alcoholic who's responsible for the death of her lovable daughter because of her addiction. After she gets fired from rehab, she'll get a further follow-up in this luxurious looking hotel. Apparently, a whole bunch of ex-addicts are staying there. As said before, there's only golden rule in this building. The residents shouldn't start again with their bad habits. This is explained by Eleanor (<b>Fionnula Flanagan</b>), landlady of this shelter. A distinguished-looking elderly woman who clearly shows her sympathy towards the inhabitants and who obviously cares about their welfare. In retrospect, she appears to be mother of two less peaceful sons. Even a link is made with the notorious Herman Mudget (better known as H. H. Holmes, one of the first documented serial killers from the 1800s).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">In itself the film wasn't so bad but it wasn't really impressive either. It's a mixture of a few superficial ideas and concepts already used in other movies. The house is a maze of secret corridors and entrances in the walls, just like in "<i>House Bound</i>". The final destination of the victims and the denouement is again similar to "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.si/2017/01/the-hoarder-2015.html" target="_blank">The Hoarder</a>". The basement reminds you of "<i>The Texas chainsaw massacre</i>". And of course again you'll witness a little bit of detective work when Jackie realizes that some guests disappear without a trace. Unfortunately, there are also plenty of elements which aren't explained. There's the disappearance of Jackie's girlfriend Danielle (<b>Danielle Harris</b>). A brief event and a reason for Jackie to initiate an investigation at "<i>Havenhurst</i>". And her relationship with the helpful agent isn't explained either in detail.</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class=""></span><span class=""></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The biggest disappointment for me was the horror content of the film. You can't really call it horror because it isn't actually frightening. Gory scenes can be counted on one hand. There is only one explicit scene and it's also kind of implausible at the same time. And to be honest the physical strength of the killer who moves throughout the building via cleverly designed mechanisms, is a bit exaggerated. His new victims are hurled through the room as if they weigh nothing. At one point I thought it was a paranormal phenomenon with a superhuman strength. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And how is it that other people haven't heard that something was wrong? The walls are apparently paper thin so you can easily hear every suspicious noise or moaning. But apparently only Jackie can hear it. "Havenhurst" is no more than a thriller containing a gloomy mystery. A sort of horror for beginners. Unfortunately, there is not such a refuge in reality. Otherwise, more people would admit they have a problem so they are sure of a place in such a majestic building. Without a serial killer of course.<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span title="Zonder seriemoordenaar dan wel."></span></span> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When a successful New York advertising executive suffers a great
tragedy, he retreats from life. While his concerned friends try
desperately to reconnect with him, he seeks answers from the universe by
writing letters to Love, Time and Death. But it's not until his notes
bring unexpected personal responses that he begins to understand how
these constants interlock in a life fully lived, and how even the
deepest loss can reveal moments of meaning and beauty.</span><br />

<span title="Ik vrees dat “Collateral Beauty” weer zo’n film is dat het slachtoffer werd van een spiraal van negativisme in recenserende middens.">I'm afraid "<i>Collateral Beauty</i>" is just another film pulled along by a spiral of negativity among critics. Sometimes it happens that a certain opinion is being introduced and others use it as a guideline. Slogans such as "Atrocious cynical and tearful", "A tearjerker without value" and "Pretentiously hot air" appeared on my screen to my surprise. Admittedly, it isn't as peerless as "<i>The pursuit of happiness</i>". But it's not such a commercial nonsense as "<i>Men in Black II</i>" or as annoying as "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.si/2013/11/after-earth-2013.html" target="_blank">After Earth</a>". Maybe <b>Will Smith</b> isn't the perfect actor for a melodrama and you associate him with a more action-packed and lighter genre. Yet he could convince me as the grieving owner of an advertising agency. Everytime a sort of global crusade is being organized against a particular movie and I don't agree with the used arguments, I feel like throwing myself into the breach for it. The last time I felt this urge was with "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.si/2014/04/47-ronin-2013.html" target="_blank">47 Ronin</a>".</span></span></span> </div>

And contentwise there are plenty of elements so you could label it as a melodrama. But what was the ultimate message? Is the movie solely about suffering, sorrow and pain? Or was the message also about that glimmer of hope, overcoming personal demons and recognizing the real values that are important in a human life? Well, cynics will look at it in a disgusted way.

Their joint project is Howard, who leads a comatose and aimlessly life since the death of his six year old daughter (she suffered from a rare form of cancer). The charismatic appearance in the beginning of the film contrasts sharply with the self-destructive person who rides his bike against traffic like a kamikaze blinded by rage. He doesn't care about what will happen with the company he founded. Since months, his only activity there is designing a structure of dominoes. And after several days of hard work, he breaks it down by pushing the first domino. Is this self-destruction in a symbolic way?</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">The first step to join a support group for people trying to handle a loss, is an impossible step for Howard. The next thing Whit, Claire and Simon come up with is a plan to proove that Howard is of unsound mind and can't take any decision because it could harm the firm. That's when three amateur actors enter the picture. Brigitte (<b>Helen Mirren</b>), Amy (<b>Keira Knightley</b>) and Raffi (<b>Jacob Latimore</b>) will perform each as one of the three abstractions and confront Howard with his writings. That is, the letters he writes to the abstractions. In this way they try to provoke an aggressive or irrational reaction.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">Critics in The US panned the film mercilessly because of exaggerated dramatics and according to public opinion a disgusting preconceived plan of the other shareholders. Let me counter these arguments. Take any season of Grays Anatomy and you'll be drowning in a pool of artificial drama and sickening emotional nonsense (but this is probably due to my hatred for television series). And saying the plan of the co-owners is morally offensive, is a hypocritical statement. I'm sure in the US (and other major capitalist countries) strategies like this are being used on a daily basis, trampling other individuals without pity and pushing them aside strategically. And pointing at <b>Will Smith</b> while claiming he isn't capable to bear a serious film, is also jumping to conclusions. I can't stand <b>Keira Knightley</b> (a film with her in it, and my cozy couch is covered with marks of my fingernails). But that's no reason for me to proclaim the film is totally crap ("<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.si/2015/01/begin-again-2013.html" target="_blank">Begin Again</a>" is an example of that).</span></span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">"<i>Collateral Beauty</i>" is a wonderful film about grief and the consequences when losing a loved one. Admittedly it was a bit predictable. The connection between Madeline (<b>Naomie Harris</b>) and Howard was quite clear upfront. And the end was a bit too magical. But ultimately, I felt the film struck a chord and left an impression on me. <b>Will Smith</b> didn't succeed in moving me to tears as in "<i>The pursuit of happiness</i>". And the crying part isn't his strongest talent as an actor. But I still have respect for the person who started as a rebellious, yo-yo-yo rapping teen from Bel-Air. So beware of the bashing and look at it with an open mind.</span></span> </div>

Asher has been training for almost two decades to avenge himself on
Ivan, the man that killed his older brother, 21 years ago. And now that
his nemesis is out of prison, he gets his chance. But Asher's target
also happens to be his father.</span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">Raw, violent and ultra-gory. That's what "<i>My father die</i>", the remarkable debut of <b>Sean Brosnan</b> (son of the famous spy), actually has to offer in terms of content. An orgy of senseless violence. A revenge film avant la lettre. A bit like "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2015/07/american-muscle-2014.html" target="_blank">American Muscle</a>" where revenge was the central topic as well. The only difference is the style and look of this one compared to the previous. "<i>American Muscle</i>" tries to convey a seventies vibe, while "<i>My father die</i>" looks more stylistic. The use of black and white images in the beginning initially makes you think this is more than a typical revenge movie full of brutal scenes. Until the avenger starts his quest to put the suffering and injustice straight again.</span></span> <br />

Asher is in fact deaf, because his aggressive father Ivan (<b>Gary Stretch</b>) he has hit him rather harshly on his ears when he was young.

That's when Asher realizes he has to carry out a major task. Look for Ivan and kill him before this madman shows up at their porch. And that's the beginning of a long chaotic and violent trip through this poor part of the U.S. The first thing that struck me in this rather pretty vacuous film, is the strong and convincing acting of the main characters. Ivan is terrifying brutal. A bully who without a blink of an eye smashes someones brain because the person got in the way. He doesn't care wether it's a cop, a gangmember or a fragile woman he's knocking down with a devastating blow. An insensible, numb and ruthless fighter. His posture and appearance is of such an extent that you step aside when he nears you.

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, I still think Asher has inherited some of the genes of his father, because he has no compassion for those who don't want to help him find Ivan. A couple of shot off toes and wildly pounding with a shovel are the result. Because of his deafness and the fear of being called a retard when talking, Asher is deafening silent the entire movie. He doesn't say a word and he just makes use of sign language and facial expressions. Despite his sound free role, I thought it was a magnificent performance of this for me unknown actor. In addition, <b>Candace Smith</b> and <b>Kevin Gage</b> (as blood brother Tank) are certainly worth mentioning after displaying some brilliant moments.</span></span><br />

The storyline is rather weak and the whole story looks like a hodgepodge of random events with terrible brutality not being shunned. Unfortunately, the denouement is a bit exaggerated. It looked more like a modern version of a firefight in an old cowboy movie. I'm not really a fan of this kind of exploitation films about deprived slums where futureless individuals waste their time on useless and cruel activities. And certainly not when the used violence is completely senseless, aimless and indifferent. The film surpasses "<i>American Muscle</i>" easily and tries to acquire a cult status as "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2015/03/vanish-2015.html" target="_blank">Vanish</a>". I didn't feel like turning it off and that's a positive sign. I am convinced that Asher's last thought contained the following sentence "<i>It's better to burn out than to fade away</i>".</span></span><span title="Ik ben er wel van overtuigd dat Asher’s laatste gedachte de volgende zin bevatte “It’s better to burn out than to fade away”."></span></span> </div>

No calamities or hectic situations. It's a fragile picture of the choices people make to end their life voluntarily. A procedure that requires medical care and psychological support. A support Hannah (<b>Hannah Fierman</b>) provides by being present during the last minutes of a dying person. And preferably dressed up the way that person wishes. One last memory. A last craving. An intimate and happy farewell. One last hug and embrace.</span></span> <br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1">Not only does the film focus on the emotional aspect Hannah is facing, but also the legal aspect. Worldwide there are still many countries where euthanasia isn't legal, so these procedures take place illegally. This is also the case with Hannah. The result is that she has trouble in processing the grief. She has no outlet for her feelings and she can't tell her personal story to anybody. Not even to her mother. When she's being confronted with a legal fact, the illegal and anonymous nature of her activities, could get her in trouble. In legal terms, that is. Hence, the resulting confrontation with Vincent (<b>Robert Krakovski</b>).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"<i>Hold Me</i>" isn't exactly the type of movie you'd choose to enjoy a pleasant evening in front of your TV. It's a pretty sad topic. Nobody likes to be confronted with the loss of a loved one and subsequently saying goodbye in a serene way. Also, palliative departments aren't exactly the most happy places to reside in a hospital. Melancholia is omnipresent in this film. The soundtrack contributes to that as well. A superb fitting sound which reminded me of certain songs performed by Marilyn Manson where the same depressing piano tones are being used. Personally I thought the music was a wonderful addition. Normally I don't pay much attention to the accompanying music in a film. The fact it did struck me here, says enough.</span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1">Naturally Hannah and her mother (<b>Laura Kenny</b>) represent the most central characters in this production. At first glance I thought <b>Hannah Fierman</b> was the actress who played in "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2015/05/starry-eyes-2014.html" target="_blank">Starry Eyes</a>" the part of the resolute Sarah. Maybe that's why I expected a sinister turn somwhere (Well, that's what happens when you never read the summary of a film in advance). But frankly I found her acting performance magnificant at times. The transformation shown in a mirror where a loving, mischievous smile replaces her sad expression, was beautiful to see. Laura Kenny's acting performance was wonderfull as well. A worried mother who's only concerned about being a burden to her daughter, even when she suffers from a serious illness.</span></div>

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">The only downside I could find was the predictability. Early in the film you can feel which way the story is heading. And some of the performances weren't that spectacular. Some were rather stiff and forced. Despite these minor flaws, I thought "<i>Hold me</i>" was a fascinating film anyway. No doubt it will lead to extensive discussions about whether or not to perform euthanasia. Personally, I'm in favor to make it legally permissible. As long as the person concerned has taken a carefully considered decision about the matter. As individuals we didn't have much to say about our birth. Before you knew it, you were walking on the face of this planet. Nobody asked you if you felt like doing that. So why wouldn't you let an individual make a decision to step out of life with dignity and say goodbye to relatives in a human way? Yet again, this is just a personal, humble opinion about the matter.</span></span> </div>

That's what Jenai (<b>Maika Monroe</b>) and Riley (<b>Matt O'Leary</b>) experience when they spend their holidays in Iceland. Initially they behave like perfectly normal tourists. Admiring the natural beauty of Iceland while Riley takes pictures of it, with his old-fashioned-looking camera. The day they find out they are completely alone, it's the start of a fascinating journey on the one hand. But on the other hand it's also a disappointing story in which they undergo a range of human reactions. First they experience a confused and panicky mood in which they anxiously try to understand what's going on. There's no immediate, plausible explanation for the sudden disappearance of the population. No dead bodies or signs of destruction. No coverage of the phenomenon since all news channels are offline. No posts on news sites or e-mails. Human existence is abruptly ended somehow.</span></span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span title="Het menselijke bestaan is abrupt geëindigd op één of andere manier."></span></span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Then they switch to an euphoric mood, realizing that they can get anything they desire and have the place to themselves. They can pick out any of the abandoned cars and choose the house they like the most. After that, they start realizing they really are on their own and certain situations could be life threatening. The result. Irritation, self-pity, and frictions between the two survivors. Especially Jenai falls into melancholic moods. Most of all, she wants to return home. There's only one problem. They are stuck on this deserted island. She also struggles with the "Why?" question concerning their situation and whether all this has to do with a divine destiny. Riley however, sees this as a fresh start for humanity. An opportunity to build a new civilization with the two of them. It still looks like a tourist trip to him and he wants to make lots of pictures of picturesque places as possible.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I admit my thoughts always strayed to the key question "<i>What would I do in the exact situation?</i>". Try and find my dreamcar? Choose my dream house and plunder a local electronics store so I can equip myself with the latest gadgets? Total freedom. Indulging myself in everything I desire, without worrying about the price tag. A dream come true. I admit. Watching a movie is also a bit of putting yourself into a fictional situation. The only thing is, it shouldn't be in such a way that you lose the complete attention. And that's exactly what happened to me, while watching "<i>Bokeh</i>".</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps the biggest flaw of the film is the limited content. There isn't much interesting happening. Most of the film is filled with stunning snapshots accompanied by minimalistic piano sounds. If you've never been to Iceland and you can't imagine what it looks like, you'll certainly have a pretty good idea after seeing this film. It seemed as if "<i>Bokeh</i>" was sponsored by the Iceland tourist offices. Beautiful images of nature, full of glaciers, geysers and flower fields. No hurdles of zombies. No terrifying aliens who started an invasion to claim the resources of the earth. Ultimately, the film offers no explanation about the cause of it all. Like Riley and Jenai you'll still be groping the dark about this.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The only thing I was wondering is where the film title actually came from. Initially I thought it was an Icelandic expression. Turns out, according to Wikipedia, it's a term used in photography. The description is as follows: "<i>The aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens</i>". Now you can ask yourself what this is related to. Is it the way Riley makes his pictures? Or is it about the hazy content of the film? Another unanswered question.</span></div>

And not because of the demonic story itself. But because of the appearance of Jesse Hellman (<b>Ethan Embry</b>). A true metal-head who throws himself, stripped to the waist, on a canvas cloth with spray cans during the night. A prehistoric looking guy with lank greasy hair, gleaming because of his with oil smeared muscles. He tries to put the energy he receives from listening to squealing and howling guitars into his artworks. In a way he reminded me of Rob Zombie. The day the family Hellman (appropriate name!) decides to move into a sweet-looking little house somewhere in Texas, Jesse doesn't realize that the dark forces that are present there, will inspire him in a very different way.</span></span> <br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1">It's never really frightening so to speak. No paranormal events or sudden jumpscares that'll spook you. The eerie part is developed in a more subtle way here. The demonic character of a former resident who's either possessed by satanic forces or simply mentally disturbed, is the thing that makes for some scary and eerie moments. I'm talking about Ray (<b>Pruitt Taylor Vince</b>). A somewhat fuzzy and labile-like person. Not long after the Hellemans moved, this retarded person shows up at the door and claims that he needs to return to his former home, so he can produce a deafening sound on his red Gibson Flying V again. Noise he needs to produce in order not to hear those adjuring voices. Voices that incite him to perform disgusting acts.</span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span title="Voor een horror is het ook al niet bloederig.">Although it's a horror, it's not really bloody. You can imagine what dreadful murders are happening. And at some point when Jesse is painting again, you'll see fragments of red paint mixed with seemingly bloody fragments. But it's never explicitly shown. There are moments when you can feel the helplessness of a future victim. The powerlessness and the realization what's waiting for them, provide an uncomfortable feeling. Ultimately, you can ask yourself the question whether it's really Satan who's ordering Ray. Or is he just a mentally disturbed person who hears voices and is guided by them. More or less it's explained a bit by the preacher in a religious television program. Satan isn't only that metaphysical character with horns and a pointed tail. It's not only that mask that's being worn at Halloween or the character you'll see in a movie. It's an aggressive anti-Christ who lives among us and uses us to carry out his unspeakable deeds. In a less religious context it simply means the evil that proliferates in humans.</span></span><span title="In een minder religieuze context betekent gewoonweg het kwade dat in de mens woekert."></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">The story isn't very original, but the undertone of the film is fascinating. The fact that the film is filled up with brutal metal sound, creates of course an extra satanic dimension. Personally I still think it's absolutely ridiculous, but the association of Satan with metal is never far away. Well, probably there still are some blockheads who think that Ray's actions are a result of listening to heavy metal. Ultimately, the film balances between a psychic, demonic story, and the story of a serial killer who's guided by an evil influence. I thought it was fascinating enough anyway!</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class=""></span></span> </div>

That's not the case. It's rather a psychological drama in which processing a traumatic experience is the central theme. First we meet Stanley Winters (<b>Henry Douthwaite</b>) who during a military raid on a local pub, where I.R.A. members were discussing something, accidentally shot the young son of one of these members. And then there's Niamh O'Brien (<b>Lara Lemon</b>) who witnessed the death of her younger brother and father that evening as a young girl. Both are struggling with the past. Stanley stows away his military combat uniform after this incident and moves to the French Alps where he'll live with his blind mother (<b>Yvonne O'Grady</b>) in a remote mountain cabin. There he tries to find inner peace.</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span> <br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1">As Niamh discovers the real truth about the death of her father and brother, she leaves Ireland confidently and travels to the French mountain village. The further progress of the story seems to be evident. You can only guess what motives Niamh has to find those responsible. Is it to avenge her loss? A revenge because her life ended up in a series of depressions? Or is it because she wants to deal with the past and finally be able to leave it all behind? That the person who took care of her afterwards still has a dossier lying around about Winters, is an indication about the unlikely and the sometimes nonsensical events. </span> <br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">I liked the psychological aspect and thought it was interesting enough. Stanley struggling with his inner demons and using a female psychiatrist (who displays more uncertainties than her patient) to channel his recovery. Even Stanley's mother tries to get her son back on the right path so that he rediscovers the meaning of life. That's why she acts like a mother hen, the moment Niamh arrives. As a true matchmaker she tries to hook them up. She isn't aware of the dreadful link that connects the two.</span></span></div>

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span title="Wat was dan het minpunt van deze film?">What's the flaw in this film you wonder? The absurdity of the two idiotic Irish guys, traveling headlong to the French Alps. Ethan (<b>Jared Fortune</b>) , because he believes that he sees himself as the fiancee of Niamh and he finds it hard to bear that she's looking for another man. And then there's Logan (<b>Paul McGuinness</b>). He's just in it because he has probably nothing else to do. They arrive at the French village like two genuine Irish hooligans. Ethan confronts Niamh with the fact that she first had to consult with him. A bit later he clears off like a beaten dog after she made it perfectly clear to him what their relationship is about. The resulting response is so excessive that the credibility of the whole film is brought down. If these two skirts hunters have experienced many rejections in their homeland, I fear the female part of the population was decimated in number. I've always said that foam-free, warm beer is fatal for human brain cells.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">So despite the beautiful renditions of <b>Henry Douthwaite</b> and <b>Yvonne O'Grady</b>, "<i>Off Piste</i>" feels reasonably far-fetched. I understand that without the intervention of Etahn and Logan the complete movie would be kind of banal with just scenes of two traumatized souls. But as I said before, the motivation for their intervention is totally whacked. Even the ultimate action from Stanley is in terms of coincidence grossly exaggerated. Regrettable. Because eventually I found the underlying issue extremely interesting.</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span> </div>

Even though Daniel Radcliffe played this stiff character. I'm sure there was a deeper meaning behind the whole idea, but I still didn't feel like it. When I started watching "<i>Shovel Buddies</i>", without knowing what it was about anyway, I noticed this was also a flick with people running around with a death body the entire movie. And this thanks to the idiotic plan Jimmy (<b>Alex</b> "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2016/09/ithaca-2015.html" target="_blank">Ithaca</a>" <b>Neustaedter</b>) wanted to fullfill at all costs, as a last tribute to his recently deceased best friend Sammy (<b>Philip Labes</b>). And the plan is to make sure that Sammy is being buried while wearing his American football t-shirt, instead of being cremated. That's the quest Jimmy wants to carry out after receiving a snap chat from Sammy. That's today's youth. They continue to hold on to today's gimmicks until their final breath. </span></span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1">I must admit that the film irritated me enormously at the beginning. Mainly by the behavior of Dan (<b>Kian Lawley</b>). An annoying jerk whose posturing attitude and arrogance started to get on my nerves. I was hoping someone would slap him. Especially after his bluntly rude behavior at the funeral and the tactless and sexist remarks afterwards, I actually didn't like watching it anymore. Also the ridiculous, absurd plan was a bit too much. And I thought that policemen use a gut feeling. Sammy's father (<b>James C.</b> "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2015/04/coldwater-2013.html" target="_blank">Coldwater</a>" <b>Burns</b>) clearly didn't. Instinctively, he had to sense what those teenagers were planning to do. Well, not him. Later on he appeared miraculously at the right time and the right place. Probably years of experience caused this.</span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1">As the film progressed, the absurdity of the film took grotesque forms. At some point I just couldn't decide whether it was morbidly humorous or tragicomic. On the one hand there were funny moments like the image of a flabby Sammy sitting in the car. In a way that was hilarious. On the other hand, I sometimes thought it was somewhat pathetic and they made one stupid decision after another. The previous mentioned fragment with the four cheerful teenagers amusing themselves in the car while a corpse calmly sitting in their midst, was both terribly funny as embarrassing to see. They should have used "Bohamian Rhapsody" as soundtrack and it would have felt like a sort of "<i>Wayne's World</i>". </span> </div>

Just like the involved characters you'll be emotionally tossed around. The film is also stuffed with contradictions. Jimmy wants to fullfill his best friend's last wish, but at the same time it seems that Sammy really was a manipulative brat who suddenly throws a seemingly close friendship overboard, because his sister was doing the hanky panky with that particular friend. Even Dan's transformation from insufferable asshole into an compassionate, ordinary teenager who suddenly realizes that his behavior is intolerable, sounds a bit implausible.</span></span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span></div>

A ravishing appearance. Really that type of female beauty that breaks up real friendships. At least I added the option "Watch movies with Bella Thorne playing in it" to my to-do list. The initial idea of this film was quite original to say the least. Looking back at it, not only the burying of the corpse became a problem, but there also appeared to be a few personal issues between the characters. However, in the end these personal disputes were burried as well. Appropriate film title. Not?</span></span></div>

Most likely they kept this to themselves out of fear for reprisals. Anna (<b>Emma Thompson</b>) and Otto Quangel (<b>Brendan Gleeson</b>), whose name was Hampel in real life, may have had an aversion to the regime in the first place because their son had to join the German army. That's beyond dispute. The day they received a letter with the news that their son was killed at the front, is a turning point for both. Anna starts mourning in a serene way, while Otto's rebellious nature takes over and his plan is to write compromising messages on postcards and leave them behind at random places in Berlin. In this way he's trying to make clear to others that the country they are living in, isn't such an ideal place. Even if there's only one person who starts a silent protest as well, Otto still will be convinced that he has succeeded in his plan. Just look at it as a revenge for the death of his son.</span></span> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">"<i>Alone in Berlin</i>" isn't exactly an action packed movie and progresses slowly. All you get to see the whole movie is how Otto writes down in a patiently way his protest lyrics on a postcard (with kid gloves and in a different style of writing), the callous way these two resistance fighters interact with eachother and an investigating held by the young police inspector Escherich (<b>Daniel Bruhl</b>). Although I actually wondered which tactic the inspector had in mind so he could track down those who are responsible. All he did was looking endlessly at a city map of Berlin with a whole series of flags pinned on it. Each pin represented a found postcard. 285 Postcards, to be exact. And the only clue that Escherich has is the handwriting on the cards. A handwriting revealing certain characteristics of the writer. That's about it.</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class=""></span></span><br />

A marriage with no affection and passion anymore. Even the letter about the death of their son, elicits no signs of any emotion. Despite the superb acting, it was all pretty boring. Even the use of English with a ridiculous sounding German accent, felt forced. This was obviously a strategic move, so they could put two big names on the payroll. "<i>Alone in Berlin</i>" does show that not all citizens were ardent supporters of Nazi Germany, but this one-man action ultimately had no influence on the rise of Adolf Hitler as we've learned in history classes. Eventually it was nothing more than a voice in the wilderness. Had they used the needles that indicated the places where the postcards were found, and planted those in Hitler's ass, it would have been more painful than this </span></span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span title="Dus naast een nevenplot over een Joodse bovenbuurvrouw die probleemloos door de Quangel’s in bescherming wordt genomen indien nodig, is men alleen getuige van hun stille protest en de relatie tussen de beide langgetrouwden."><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class="">admirable</span></span> action.</span></span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This movie tells the story of Jude and Bobbie: a young couple that exist
somewhere between homelessness and the fantasy of their imaginations.
Though they masterfully con and steal in an attempt to stay one step
ahead of their addiction, they are ultimately forced to face the reality
of their situation when one of them gets hospitalized.</span><br />

Look further, because "<i>Animals</i>" doesn't fulfill these requirements whatsoever. What a tremendously depressing and slow film this is. A sketch of two hopeless cases living on the edge of society and whose desolate life only consists of commiting petty crimes in order to provide money for their basic needs : a daily dose of heroin or a line of coke. They drive around all day in a dilapidated car and try to kill their time with useless activities such as their daily visit to the zoo. The only thing you wonder after a while is whether or not their relationship is solely based on their stubborn addiction.</span><span class=""></span></span> <br />

This was also such a depressing film about the devastating effect of heroin and the certainty that those who used it would eventually die from an overdose. "<i>Animals</i>" didn't leave me unmoved either. Even though it sometimes felt more easy-going and you'll be spared from sickening images of withdrawal symptoms. Jude (<b>David Dastmalchian</b>) and Bobbie (<b>Kim Shaw</b>) have a whole series of scamming tricks they use regularly on innocent people, to get some money. And when they succeed in it, the money is gone in the shortest time. All spent on some precious bags full of white powder. And every time when they've used the drugs, they realize that life can't continue like this. That they should find a way out. This was the last time they used again. Especially when they bump into a couple of corrupt policemen who expropriate their hard-earned money and little bit of drugs. But when the first withdrawal symptoms appear, it's back to the same old routine.</span></span><span title="Totdat de eerste verschijnselen van ontwenning opduiken."></span></span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">I do like survival films, but not exactly this kind of survival films. Ultimately, this is nothing but a portrait of two people trying to survive. It was terrible to see how far they would go out of despair. They both realize all too well what state they are in. They even wonder how they've ended up in this situation. Two white Americans with a proper education and both reasonably intelligent. In the end they compare it with the stupidity of birds that keep flying into the same window time after time. So it's dismissed as just their own stupidity and that's that. So despite the awareness and sometimes rising urge to quit, the two of them can't make that crucial step towards salvation from this deadly shit.</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">Fortunately I don't have any experience with such drugs. Though other experiences are kind of similar to Jude's and Bobbie's hopeless addiction. The renditions of <b>David Dastmalchian</b> and <b>Kim Shaw</b> seemed to me realistic enough. Superb acting and wonderful to see how they shift between different moods all the time. Even the physical appearances of these two addicts changes in a convincing manner as they exhibit withdrawal symptoms. Jude is an intelligent young guy, but he's also unreliable and selfish. Bobbie usually looks like a real slob, until they are doing the call girl trick and she starts to dress up. At that moment she reincarnates into a wonderful and beautifull looking woman. The supporting roles are of secondary importance as they come and go. The entire film focuses on the two main characters only.</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="">Eventually, the whole film is just a series of fragments about human decay, despair and misery. And this interspersed with brief flashbacks (with drugs always in a leading role) and moments when the duo tries to get money. Until disaster strikes and then it goes straight to the denouement. And that's where this movie moved me. That specific moment proves that there's indeed still a close and intimate bond between those two. An endearing gesture. Perhaps a glimmer of hope for success. "<i>Animals</i>" is a moving film that contains a kind of twisted love story, showing how an animal instinct seizes a human being whose body screams for drugs. What a sublime movie!</span></span></span> </div>

Not only did it look great. It was also thrilling and action-packed. Unfortunately, the creators of this action-SF are huge admirers of "<i>Aliens</i>" I guess and based their concept a little bit too much on this blockbuster. Again, a group of hard-trained soldiers try to make their way through a war-ravaged metropolis while being harassed by non-human enemies whose touch is sufficient enough to make you fall stone dead on the spot. Even their sophisticated equipment is no match for these supernatural entities. The equivalent of Newt (the charming little girl with that tousled hair) is introduced as well. And of course, this group of soldiers serve one central person, Clyne (<b>James Badge Dale</b>), who has the key to the solution.</span></span> </span><br />

I'm not doubting the intelligence of Dr. Clyne, but the sudden insights he gains here and the naturalness with which he brings forward solutions, is adjacent to the unbelievable. And how he could upgrade the weapons into ultimate defense weapons by using material that was lying around, made him look like a real MacGyver. The scene in the power plant of Masarov wouldn't be out of place in some kind of PS4 game. Only, the final scientific explanation was beyond my hat.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="NL-BE"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class="">Apparently, Universal Pictures has produced this film and pushed aside the film because they didn't believe in a succesfull worldwide release in cinemas (disappointing cost-benefit analysis, most likely). Maybe that explains the rather spectacular effects and overall design. Fortunately, Netflix has taken over this not so bad SF and started broadcasting this on their channels, otherwise this film would have died a quiet death. Ignore the coincidences (like the huge camera Clyne has taken with him, even though he didn't know what was going on) and some stupidities, and you'll surely get to see a sound and spectacular-looking SF. I thought the armor and weapons of the advancing troops really looked slick. Not those plastic fake firearms you give your adolescent children as a gift for Christmas. And when the final offensive is deployed, you can expect some decent action scenes.</span></span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span> </span></span><br />

Feel free to look for this film and enjoy a decent, cyberpunk war story. And if you have knowledge of the Slovenian language, you'll notice that the Moldovan little girl isn't speaking Moldavian. She speaks Slovene fluently (If I wasn't married to a Slovene girl, I wouldn't have noticed myself). It's these small imperfections that prevents this film to be among the greatest science-fictions.

<span style="font-size: large;">The true story of Desmond Doss, the conscientious objector who, at the
Battle of Okinawa, won the Medal of Honor for his incredible bravery and
regard for his fellow soldiers. We see his upbringing and how this
shaped his views, especially his religious view and anti-killing stance.
We see Doss's trials and tribulations after enlisting in the US Army
and trying to become a medic. Finally, we see the hell on Earth that was
Hacksaw Ridge.</span><br />

Infantrymen are shot to pieces. Japanese soldiers are running towards a certain dead. Disemboweled bodies. A pile of mangled corpses.

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1">"<i>Hacksaw Ridge</i>" jumps back in time after this introduction. Back to the rustic rural life in Virginia where Desmond Doss (<b>Andrew Garfield</b>) grew up. His pacifism was sparked the day he nearly killed his brother after hitting him in the head with a heavy brick. But he wants to serve his country and voluntarily signs up for the army. His family felt as though they have been hit by a bomb (no pun intended). Especially his father Tom (<b>Hugo Weaving</b>) , an ex-soldier who survived the 1st world war. When it turns out that Desmond stubbornly continues to refuse to touch a weapon, his training becomes a series of harassment by fellow soldiers and the military command does everything to get rid of him. But a verdict is delivered by the court-martial, after an ultimate interference by his father, stating that he may serve his country without taking up arms. So armed with nothing but a pocketsized bible Desmonds he's off to the front. Hell on the island of Okinawa.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">"<i>Hacksaw Ridge</i>" is divided into two contrasting parts. On the one hand the cozy, peaceful first part where the sprightly Desmond tries to seduce his future wife and where he enrolls after which he starts his training. And on the other the bloody battle on the island of Okinawa. Actually it's almost the same format as used in "<i>Full metal jacket</i>". The stereotype of the average medic serving in a war, whose job is to take care of the wounded on the battlefield, is being refined here in no time. That image of the huddled, frightened soldier with a red cross on his helmet is replaced by a heroic, self-sacrificing soldier who would walk through fire for his fallen comrades. And this image is reinforced by the figure Desmond, a conscientious objector who's running around the battlefield like a Speedy Gonzales and rescues abandoned soldiers who were doomed to die there. Unfortunately, this message was just a little bit exagerated in my opinion.</span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span> </span><br />

But most impressive is the fact that this is all based on true facts and that Desmond Doss was the first conscientious objector who was awarded the "Medal of Honor" for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action". </span> <br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1"><span class="alt-edited">In my opinion this film primarily showcases stupidity of mankind. A portrait of the madness during this World War. The senseless waste of young lives while trying to conquer an insignificant rock (A bit like "<i>Hamburger Hill</i>". Only in reverse). I'm convinced that many of those heroic soldiers were asking themselves what the hell they were doing there at that time. I bet they didn't see the point anymore of this whole operation. But stop the lingering. Orders are orders. Forward, straight ahead meeting your own demise. Madness! </span></span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Diz is a reckless teenage drifter living life on the
run. Abandoned by his parents as a child, he looks out for himself and
doesn't accept handouts. He takes whatever he wants and runs. Jaded and
determined to answer to no one, Diz lives a life marked by thievery and
abandonment. Things change for Diz when he floats into a small town on
the Snake River. There he is confronted by an unflappable old man named
Marty and falls for Marty's guarded granddaughter, Selah. When Diz robs a
local drug-dealing crazy, he becomes the owner of a giant pile of cash
and the target of two vicious killers.</span><br />

It shows the life of Diz (<b>Joel Courtney</b>) as he leads it now. A carefree existence in which he steals anything he deems necessary, without feeling bad about it. He has no sense of values. Diz is a street boy whose mother abandoned him and left him behind in an alley . And now he's looking for his natural father as he follows the banks of the Snake River. How long he has been doing this, isn't really made clear. And the motive to seek his father is also hazy. His vagabond existence is halted when he meets Selah (<b>Raleigh Cain</b>). She's a waitress in a kind of burger joint where she gets to know the habits of Diz. Namely not paying for the consumed burgers. Selah's grandfather Marty (<b>Tommy Cash</b>. Yep, brother of the famous Johnny Cash) tries to teach the boy some life lessons and instead of giving him a scolding, he invites Diz for a steak night.</span></span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>

Before you know it, all sorts of religious philosophies are exposed. About gifts and that you shouldn't take life for granted. And also about those priceless things in life such as your heartbeat and your senses. When Diz succeeds in stealing a considerable amount of drug money in a very simplistic way, this is the beginning of a naive attempt to grow a friendship between him and Selah. One thing struck me. How the egocentric Diz undergoes a metamorphosis in such a short time. From one moment to the next he changes from being an indifferent person into someone who appreciates values such as forgiveness and repentance. Probably for the first time in his life he's facing a sense of guilt. He tries to apologize by flooding Selah with expensive gifts, which in turn creates a twofold problem. On the one hand, Selah doesn't want this and she makes this absolutely clear. Secondly, the criminals could easily trace Diz because of this outrageous behavior. As a result Marty and Selah are also placed in a vulnerable position. </span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE"> </span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">Despite the limited budget, "<i>The river thief</i>" is blessed (sorry) with some brilliant impressions of the winding Snake River and other static nature scenes. In short, when looking at the technical side, it all looks professional enough. In terms of acting, it wasn't too bad. <b>Joel Courtney</b> acts natural and convinces as the casual and spry Diz. <b>Raleigh Cain</b> is as passionate in her acting as Selah is in person, but sometimes it felt rather drab. And <b>Tommy Cash</b> is the oracle of the film. Nothing more nothing less. These are certainly not top performances, but they are at least better than those of the two gangsters Saul (<b>Paul Johansson</b>) and Clyde (<b>Bas Rutten</b>). And I don't blame the actors themselves, but rather the script. It portrays these two figures in a fairly implausible and dumb way.</span></span><br />

Slowly it proceeds without any significant, exciting or tense moment. I read some articles where they labeled this as a "Christian movie". Well for me it didn't feel like a Christian movie at all. Besides, each film can be interpreted in such a way that people say there's some kind of religious message hiding in it. Marty being a moralist, who tries to learn Diz certain life values, doesn't make this a Christian movie suddenly. But I can tell you without hesitation, the surprising denouement totally blew me away. Not because of its violent nature, but mainly because I didn't see this one coming. So, allthough there are a few bombastic topics about gratitude, forgiveness and self-sacrifice, it all felt rather contrived and banal to me. And even if there would be a deeper meaning hiding somewhere in this film, I guess it completely eluded me. Most likely there'll be some philosophizing about this movie in theological circles. Unfortunately my intelligence falls short when talking about spirituality. Thank God.</span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span title="Als er dan toch een diepre beteknis in verscholen zat, dan is dit mij compleet ontgaan."><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span class="alt-edited"></span></span></span></span><span title="Spijtig genoeg schiet mijn intelligentie tekort op spititueel gebied."></span></span> </span></span></div>

A horde of bloodthirsty Austrians stumbling over a snowy mountain landscape, being impaled on ski poles and in the end being pulverized by a snowplow. These are perfectly normal events for a zombie movie. The fact that they are mutated because of a chemical substance which is going to be used for the production of artificial snow, is a new original fact. So no nasty virus that causes all the misery this time. Looking back at "<i>The girl with all the gifts</i>", I can only admit that they managed once again to portray the world of zombies (or rather "Hungries") in an original way. Hence the definition at the beginning.</span></span></span> <br />

The solution can be found at a military base. Young people are subjected to medical tests there, because they may form the basis of a possible remedy for this pandemic. They were born in a sinister way and are partially resistant to the malignant fungus. Although they exhibit symptoms of human-eating half-dead, they still function normally. Melanie (<b>Sennia Nanua</b>) is a highly intelligent girl with a logically working brain. She could well be vital important. Without a doubt, this chapter in the film was the most successful and terrifying part of the entire movie. A bunker-like building with young children locked up in separate cells and who are brought to class on a daily basis, after carrying out the same daily ritual in compliance with strict security measures. As a group of "Hannibal Lecter"-like psychopaths, they are sitting in the classroom, learning about the Periodic Table. At that moment I started wondering what this was about. Why do those heavily armed soldiers fear these innocent looking children?</span></span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span title="En waarom de zwaarbewapende militairen zo’n doodsangst vertoonden voor deze onschuldig lijkende kinderen."></span></span></div>

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: large;" tabindex="-1">After a while everything becomes clearer. And then hell breaks loose. This is the start of a survival journey through zombie country, with the aim of reaching a safer place. Among the survivors, who are part of this fleeing group, we find Helen Justineau (<b>Gemma</b> "<i>Hansel and Gretel : Witch Hunters</i>" <b>Atterton</b>) and Dr. Caroline Caldwell (<b>Glenn</b> "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2016/11/the-great-gilly-hopkins-2016.html" target="_blank">The Great Gilly Hopkins</a>" <b>Close</b>), who have to traverse a post-apocalyptic England, together with a few soldiers. Obviously Melanie is also present since her brain might contain something to solve the whole problem with. The two female members Justineau and Caldwell are diametrically opposed in their opinion about Melanie's destiny. Dr. Melanie Caldwell sees her purely as a scientific object, while Justineau still tries to look at her as a human being. Certainly this creates the necessary ethical and humanitarian conflicts.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">Nonetheless, first lets praise the creators of this zombie flick who tried to breath new life into this totally milked horror genre. And more importantly, the rather brilliant acting performance of the fledgling Sennia Nanua, who really resembled Rudy Huxtable from "<i>The Cosby Show</i>" at certain moments. In a pure and convincing way she shows the inner struggle she's fighting. A cheerful and polite little girl fighting against that constant emerging urge. How Glenn Close (nominated six times for an Academy Award) ended up in this simple zombie flick, remains a mystery to me. And her acting isn't groundbreaking either, so to say.</span></span><br />

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">Personally I thought the first part of the film was intriguing and gripping. This level of fascination drops rapidly in the middle section. The same clichéd happenings as we know them from all the other zombie movies reoccur here. Again the same stupid decisions and not so original confrontations. When an exciting moment commences (like the zombie minefield in the mall), again this is spoiled by incomprehensible facts. Unfortunately, the number of exciting scenes in this film is shockingly limited. Even the scene with Melanie standing face to face with a gang of youthful "hungries" (they looked like "The lost boys" from Peter Pan) wasn't really succesfull. But then again, the end was surprising in a way.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Steve, a young professional snowboarder, ruins a high-paying photoshoot
with a silly prank, causing him, his girlfriend Branka and fellow
snowboarder Josh to be left behind on the mountain. They seek shelter in
a garish, loud aprés-ski tavern that is hosting an all-night party for
the last night of the season. Things go from bad to worse when a
scientific experiment conducted by a local entrepreneur unleashes an
epidemic of zombies and mutant wildlife, but this is mostly lost on the
local drunkards as they themselves are not always so easy to distinguish
from zombies. Steve, Branka and Josh have to find a way to survive this
hellish night.</span><br />

You know up front you can expect an über-ridiculous horror full of kitsch and cheap horror effects. Eventually I was expecting a similar result as in a Bavarian porn from years ago. These were satirical soft porn films where you could admire a shapely bosom from a lusty Bavarian farmer's daughter occasionally. But otherwise it was merely suggestive. Even the movie titles were more exciting and more titillating than the content of the film itself. The same goes for "<i>Attack of the lederhosen zombies</i>" . It's obviously a satire on the zombie genre and focuses more on the comedy part than on the horror section.</span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="NL-BE"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">I was pleasantly surprised by the opening scene with a wide view over the Austrian Alps. Unfortunately, this panoramic view looks slicker than the gore, bloody zombie scenes at a later stage. The makers of this Austrian zombie satire don't like wasting time though. So you don't have to wait half an hour before the first infected victims appear. This time it isn't a uncontrolled virus that's the cause of the epidemic, but a chemical substance which has been brewed by the local ski-lift owner to produce artificial snow. Who invents such stuff? When an interested investor attends a demonstration, this goes awfully wrong causing him to swallow the chemical crap. Well, and this is the beginning of a lot of trouble.</span></span></span></div>

Don't take it all too seriously. But then again, which zombie movie should you really take seriously? To be honest, this is the first time I thought the combination of humor and horror wasn't that bad. It's obvious that the emphasis is more on creating comic situations than making the film scary. It isn't really creepy or exciting at all. And stating that this is a real thigh-slapper (which is customary with those lederhosen ) is also a bit exaggerated. There are some chuckle moments (that zombie with those ski poles getting stuck in a stairwell) and some sly tongue-in-cheek jokes ("<i>It's all downhill from here</i>"). But don't expect more.</span><span class=""></span></span> </span></span><br />

The protagonists are clearly not recruited because of their acting skills, but rather because they know how to snowboard, I guess. The most irritating piece was the dancescene with Steve (<b>Laurie Calvert</b>) and Branka (<b>Gabriela Marcinkova</b>) demonstrating their best dance moves. Kind of funny but the fragment was a little too lengthy. In terms of makeup used on the creatures, this obviously couldn't match the zombie movies with a significantly higher budget. The gore scenes, however, were gross enough with a multitude of spraying blood, decapitations and winding intestines (although they looked plastic). Unfortunately, however, the zombie deer looked like the work of a taxidermist. "<i>Attack of the zombies lederhosen</i>" is not a sickening zombie-movie, but tries to be unique in the current stream of zombie movies we have to swallow the last few years. It's not the type of film one would say "<i>It's so bad, it turns out to be good</i>". But it's a close call.</span></span></span></span></div>

And this thanks to his mother's friend, who found out that he wasn't the father, and as a response flung him out of the window of the car. The result was a frontal lobe syndrome, making him the suitable candidate to inherit the memory of CIA agent Bill Pope (<b>Ryan Reynolds</b>), who was electrocuted to death during a mission. And this because the memory of Pope is full of information necessary to locate the Dutch hacker Jan Strook (<b>Michael Pitt</b>), also known as the The Dutchman, before he sells his sophisticated software to a crazy anarchist or the Russians. Software that could lead to a global nuclear war and total chaos.</span></span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />

And the film is packed with completely absurd idiocies such as setting up a GPS remotely and manipulating surveillance images in such a way that the secret service is chasing the wrong person. I always skipped this film because of the presence of <b>Kevin Costner</b>. In hindsight, I still ask myself how in God's name they got the idea to ask him. I associate Costner with other films where he's dancing with wolves, protecting a pop singer as a bodyguard and floating on a vast ocean as a kind of Mad Max. Jerico Stewart is a character Costner never played before, I think. But I must admit that he did it amazingly well. The aggression Jericho emanates and his violent behavior was played convincingly by Costner. His performance during the appropriation of a van (the owners are beaten up thoroughly), the confrontation with the widow (<b>Gal Gadot</b>) or the harassing language he uses against a pharmacist are some examples. The clash between Jericho's cheeky personality and Pope's more sophisticated behavior created some humorous scenes.</span></span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span title="De clash tussen Jericho’s brutale persoonlijkheid en Pope’s meer gedistingeerd gedrag zorgt voor enkele humoristische scenes."></span></span> </span><br />

<span lang="NL-BE"></span><span lang="NL-BE"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span style="font-size: large;">For a moment it reminded me of "<i>The Bourne identity</i>". Both movies are about someone going through a personality crisis, not knowing who he is, what goal he has and what it's all about. Jerico is a loose object who runs around like a bull in a china shop, making downtown London unsafe. The only thing he's concentrating on, is the lost bag full of money. The story itself isn't really ingenious and will cause some head shaking when watching it. What remains is a pure spy action movie with quite some violence in it.</span></span> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="NL-BE"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">Besides Costner there are some other heavyweights from Hollywood summoned for this film. There's also <b>Tommy Lee Jones</b> who takes care of the character Dr. Frank. All in all, this part isn't really meaningful and apparently he participated reluctantly, judging by the expression on his face (or is this a standard expression?). Fact is that the number of wrinkles on his face is growing steadily. Then you have <b>Gary Oldman</b> as chief Quaker Wells. A similar character as Oldman played in "<i>Batman</i>", except that Quaker is more stupid and insensible. The most disappointing role was the one from <b>Michael Pitt</b>. He didn't sound like a Dutch hacker. This isn't a performance that'll stay in my memory forever as the one he did in "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2015/04/i-origins-2014.html" target="_blank">I Origins</a>" and "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2015/08/rob-mob-2014.html" target="_blank">Rob the Mob</a>". And finally <b>Ryan</b> "<a href="http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2016/06/deadpool-2016.html" target="_blank">Deadpool</a>" <b>Reynolds</b> who got the shortest role he ever had in his entire career.</span></span></span><span lang="NL-BE"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"></span> </span></span><br />
