A ★★★★ review of The Conformist (1970) IL CONFORMISTA is a baffling film about fascism. Powerful in style and acting, with Jean-Louis Trintignant playing Marcello with an almost frozen calm. A face that almost looks like a mask. Dominique ...

A ★★★★ review of Turkish Delight (1973) TURKS FRUIT, or TURKISH DELIGHT is a Dutch classic film and one of the reasons why Dutch cinema is often synonymous with nudity. That aside, Rutger Hauer and Monique van de Ven have an intense chemist...

“An intense chemistry that defies the ages…”

That whole B-plot with the dog was completely unnecessary.

I already didn't care much for Timothee Chalamet, but Marty is such an annoying character that you have to be an extremely charismatic actor to not make Marty an irredeemable dick. Chalamet is -not- that.

Glen Powell was his charismatic self. I think this role fit him better than the one from Running Man.

RAVI! #RahulKohli

I might be a bit biased, I don't buy into the whole Chalamet vibe that's going around. Timothée Chalamet is, in my opinion, a mid actor at best.

A ★★★ review of How to Make a Killing (2026) HOW TO MAKE A KILLING, by director John Patton Ford, boasts a cast of stars. Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Ed Harris, Topher Grace, just to name a few. These actors, and many others ...

“The third act is rushed…”

A ★★★ review of Honestly, I'm Fine (2026) PAAZ, or HONESTLY I'M FINE is a film based on a book. And in a lot of ways it makes the book better, but in an even amount of ways, it's worse. Gaite Jansen as the main character Emma is good. Her act...

“This film is too safe…”

Als je alle verschillen tussen mensen en zagen op zou moeten schrijven... Da's niet te doen. Omdat het heel veel werk is, maar ook: je schiet er geen fuck mee op!

Misschien ben je nu (ook) aan het kijken naar de dames op de 1500m in #Milaan maar het idee van @arjenlubach.bsky.social om de bezuinigingen bij de publieke omroep in z'n geheel op te vangen m.b.v. het wegstrepen van sport bij de NOS is wel ijzersterk!

Apparently I had a second thought that ricocheted off of the first one, and now I can’t find either.
