Killers of the Flower Moon
Last week we had an unexpected opportunity to go to the cinema and watch Killers of the Flower Moon as both kids were not at home. Even though the movie was only released mid October we had to look for a theatre that was still playing it. We were in luck that it was still…

Red
Another comic book inspired movie. I didn’t know about the comic book origin when I saw this movie. I kind of stumbled across it on Netflix and started watching. A lot of unexpected star actors participate in this comic book adaptation : Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, Hellen Mirren and John Malkovich to name…

Die Hard with a Vengeance
Die Hard with a Vengeance, aka Die Hard 3. The movie came out in 1995 and stars Samuel Jackson and Jeremy Irons besides Bruce Willis. This third movie doesn’t follow the same concept of the previous 2 movies where all the action basically takes place in one building. Here the action is spread over New…

Star Wars: Episode 2 – Attack of the Clones
In the second movie of the prequel the story starts to turn a little darker. Episode 1 was a bit of a ‘the beginning’ story where we learn about the very young Anakin and the threat of the Sith. Now we find Anakin back as an adolescent Jedi apprentice of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Padmé returns Coruscant…

John Wick 2
After watching the first John Wick I now also watched the second movie, aka chapter 2. I watched the first one already quite a while ago. Then my son said he was going to see chapter 3 so I figured it was time to do some catching up and watch chapter 2. After having ‘retired’…

SWAT
Went and watched the 2003 SWAT movie with Colin Farrell and Samuel Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez and Jeremy Renner again after seeing SWAT: Under Siege. Unfortunately the star cast doesn’t make it significantly better than the mediocre Under Siege. But it is also not worse. The movie doesn’t start of bad but as the finale unfolds…

SWAT: Under Siege
Watched this movie on Netflix some time ago. I watched the original SWAT movie with Colin Farell and Samuel Jackson. Compared to that movie this one is a bit of a low budget let down. It features Michael Jay White but he is acting like he only got paid half a salary. There are a…

Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace
The first movie of the prequel trilogy finally arrived in 1999, 16 years after the release of Return of the Jedi. Expectations were high but reviews were mixed. Certainly compared to the original trilogy the visual effects are stunning. And with Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman there are excellent actors in the leading…

Die Hard 2
Watched the second Die Hard movie a few weeks ago again after a long time. I really liked it when I watched it originally in 1990 or so. It is really Die Hard 2 in the sense that is again taking place on Christmas Eve and more or less confined to 1 one building. In…
