SOPA & PIPA
Not all of you might know what is happening when it comes to legislation and bills being passed around in the US. Even I have problems reading all those pieces. But this is an important issue and we want every reader to know what is happening around them.
Closing of 2011
What a year it has been. Not for criticasm.com perse but for the entire world. We are talking about strikes, crisis, falls of complete governments, the coming of 3D, the world of tablets and many many more things. Looking at the post count it has not been an impressive year, but this does not mean [...]
The 3D hype, don’t be fooled
Lately there has been a change through the movie and TV industry I want to make people aware of. With last years electronic conventions and press releases by some of the bigger technical companies, you will notice that 3D is HOT. Hot in big bold and red letters. A technology which has been here for [...]
The Limits of Control
In this long-postponed review of Jim Jarmusch’s latest feature THE LIMITS OF CONTROL the underrated Isaach De Bankolé is playing an unnamed lone wolf assassin purposefully on a mission that throughout the film will remain almost completely unintelligible to the viewer.
A little wget magic with The Social Network
One of the big contenders for the Oscar Awards, which will air tomorrow, is THE SOCIAL NETWORK by David Fincher. Some say it is just your average film others say it is the best movie of 2010. So should it get any awards?
Happy New Year everyone!
2010 is over people and what a year it has been. Some things that come to mind are the elections in the Netherlands, the World Cup we almost won with some kung fu fighting and the passing of one of my favorite actors, Leslie Nielsen. When looking at the numbers of movies, which have been [...]
The Last Airbender; the first in a trilogy of mistakes
AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER as the title should be, is the latest big project of M. Night Shyamalan. For those familiar with the lore, know it has potential, but did Shyamalan harness it?
With Inception we never truly wake up
INCEPTION is one of those rare movies you have to see to realise how good it really is. It has been praised so much that it currently holds number 4 of the iMDB Top 250 with a 9.1. So if you are reading this and haven’t seen it yet, tell me why have you not?
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is not the movie you were looking for
Jerry Buckheimer and crew have been very busy. After the impressive PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN series, he had some fun with the PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME and now he has revived another Disney (short) story, which perhaps can take on that other wizard kid. THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE tells the story of Merlin’s [...]
The evilist saga returns with an ‘Eclipse’
ECLIPSE is the 3rd installment in the Twilight Saga with the lovable pale vampire and the hotty werewolf. Does it show any form of improvement, or are you in for another annoying ride when your misses wants to see this.
Some serious ass kicking with The Kung Fu Kid
Yes I know I am stating the obvious, because the movie is called THE KARATE KID, but the ass whooping that goes on in this remake of a classic, is based on Kung Fu and not Karate. so does this effect the story?
Drop your socks and grab your crocs with Iron Man 2
When summer began we were treated with many great movies. One of them being IRON MAN 2, the sequel to 2008 surprise hit. For me however it was no surprise it would please me, since I am a Downey fan. Only this time I would be seeing him in a returning role for the very [...]
You want to Kiss the Frog, with The Princess and The Frog
Most of you will probably not know “Kiss the Girl” from Peter André, but it was one of the theme songs from Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID and for a long time one of my favourite songs. Ah, the good old days when we were young and in love. However we are not talking about this [...]
Chaos reigns in Antichrist
When Lars von Trier took his seat at the press conference following the première of his latest flick ANTICHRIST at last years Cannes Film Festival an aggrieved British journalist famously demanded that the notorious Danish director explain and justify why he made this movie. Although it is not unusual for clueless journalists to try and [...]
The Lovely Bones is very lovely indeed
Couple of Weeks ago Milly Boele from the Netherlands disappeared. The last thing we knew is that she was talking with her mum on the phone when she hung up saying: “There is a man at the front door”. After this conversation nobody has heard or seen a thing about her. She just vanished…
Join us perhaps next year with a late Valentine’s Day
I know it is a bit too late to write a little something about VALENTINE’S DAY, but I just have seen it and thought I would give you guys at least some insight on whether this movie is worth it or not. And perhaps you can still watch it with your other half on some [...]
Actually only one man stares at goats with The Men Who Stare At Goats
In for something different? You sure? With a cast like Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges and George Clooney you still can watch something you are not expecting. Well with THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS you are in for one weird experience.
Take a breather with Whatever Works
WHATEVER WORKS is a movie you probably never have heard of. You will not have seen and never will. And that actually makes me sad, because WHATEVER WORKS brings the viewer an entertaining way on how to live life and how to deal with everyday issues.
It’s elementary with Sherlock Holmes
When Sneaky and myself wanted to see one of the early screenings of SHERLOCK HOLMES it seemed all seats were taken. Nothing new here of course, because early screenings are always sold out when it comes to “big” movies. But with this case we tried to get some seats that were reserved by others. The [...]
$500 mil. gives us AVATAR in 3D
When a friend told me about AVATAR I told him I heard about it, but wasn’t planning on seeing it premiere day. Fortune however wanted me to see this movie and when I got off from work a little bit earlier, I decided to go and watch it. New movies are best seen on their [...]
NEW MOON is hardly new and contains no moon, only horny teenagers
Those of you who follow my Twitter will know that I watch more movies than I am able to write about (this is a silent hint to follow me). I still got some on the drawing board like Disney’s UP and Woody Allen’s WHATEVER WORKS, but my latest movie was so awful, I just had [...]
We pay a visit to District 9
After THE LORD OF THE RINGS and KING KONG we haven’t seen much from Peter Jackson. But with DISTRICT 9 we get glimpse of what he is capable of when producing even the weirdest of stories. DISTRICT 9 really is that, a weird story with an even weirder ending. The movie is already released on [...]
We shed some tears with This is it
Michael Jackon’s THIS IS IT shows the last couple of months before his demise. You get to see what he was planning to show all of us and what surprises he had stored for the fans. Besides fragments of his show, people whom he worked with are being interviewed as well. So is this really [...]
We put our claws into X-Men Origins: Wolverine
*TJING* or whatever that effect sounds like when our favorite X-Men pulls out his claws. This sound has become a thing my girlfriend apparently has the hots for, because when we watched this movie I told her about X-MEN 1 to 3. The next few days she just had to see her hairy friend Hugh [...]
So I went and sat down to watch ‘The Watchmen’
Second in line is the great movie THE WATCHMEN. THE WATCHMEN is a movie based on a twelve-issue comic book series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. It has been published by DC Comics in 1986 and 1987, but I never knew this or heard a thing about it, [...]
Would you be ‘My Bloody Valentine’ in 3D?
Ok ok… some might have noticed updates are not happening as frequently as we are aiming with criticasm. But going to do short version of so me of the latest flicks I have seen. First up MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D.
Bow down to your Demigod
DEMIGOD is a game which is based on the popular free mod DEFENSE OF THE ANCIENTS of WARCRAFT III. Now I am really not known with this mod so I never had any real experience with it, but let me first tell you how I even came across this game.
Zack and Miri make a crap movie
First things first; Yes this movie contains nudity and yes vulgar language can be found also. So no do not go to this movie with your stuck up girl or boyfriend, nor with your parents, in-laws or whatsoever. This is a movie to be seen with people who can appreciate dirty humor, nudity and whom [...]
YES! Is the new No in Yes Man
Person A: It’s Friday lets go to the movies? Person B: Nah… don’t feel like it Person A: Hey tomorrow the Knicks game is on, wanna watch it at my place? Person B: Sorry, got some stuff I gotta do Person A: I managed to gather our old friends for a poker night! Person B: [...]
To be Hamlet 2 or not to be Hamlet 2
Wait just one darn minute before reading any further. Do you know the story of Hamlet; the deaths, the tragedy, the love and the revenge? And did you see any promotion material of this movie? If the first question is answered with ‘Yes’ and the second question with a ‘No’, then this movie might be [...]
