    Perfect Days

    ★★★★

    Sushi + Lotte + Perfect Days = perfect evening. Beautiful film, especially the vibrant colors and play on sharpness! Appreciate the little things in life…

  • Meet the Parents

    Meet the Parents

    ★★★★

    Niet bepaald The Silence of the Lambs zoals ik had verwacht hahaha… Pathé Mystery Classic was toch Meet the Parents. Maar aangenaam verrast en goed gelachen! Robert De Niro speelt zijn rol fantastisch.

    Dead Poets Society

    ★★½

    Well, that was a disappointment. Rated 4.2 on Letterboxd, really? Of course the acting by Robin Williams is amazing, and some of the kids are notable as well — but that does not save the film, not by a mile. I found that most of Dead Poets Society plays out exactly like a kids film. Weak storytelling (the kids all wanted to revive the society after just a few lessons and not even remotely being interested in poetry?), unfinished stories…

    Wicked

    ★★★½

    Wicked is a colorful spectacle with some amazing actor chemistry! The choreography and songs are very well executed. But still, my experience was severely tampered by the fact that the trailer literally showed the whole movie. Summarized into 3 minutes - there was not a single surprise for me. I know, it follows the theatrical play, but it still doesn’t sit right with me. If anything, it shows that this film didn’t need to be so long (which wouldn’t have been an issue otherwise). Lastly, I found the CGI to be somewhat distracting or even off-putting at times. 3.5/5 stars.
