Things I Hate #1: Camversions (and people that watch them)

In this recurring blog, I will point out a certain thing I hate from society, or just everyday life.Some of them might be common pet peeves, some might not. I will, however, always try to justify why I hate that particular thing. There are no real boundaries as to what it the topic is. The only one rule: I have to hate it. Don’t agree with me? Leave a comment saying why I’m wrong. People that watch cam-versions of movies. I download movies. A lot. Fact is, it’s legal in...

FELIXDICIT’s ‘X of 2012’

As the clock is slowly ticking away, counting down the final moments of this year, it is time to recap 2012. What movies, what games or what albums were either very good, or very bad. As I can’t have total knowledge of everything that was released the last 366 days, I will stick with whatever I’ve seen, listened to or played. I wanted to include books to this list, but I haven’t really read any books for the purpose of entertainment; if I’d read anything at all, it would have...

The Big Sci-Fi Movies of 2013

Science fiction seems to make a big return in 2013, with numerous big-budget films seeing a 2013 release. In this post, I’ll be shedding some light on some of them, starting with “After Earth”. “After Earth” Starring: Will Smith, Jaden Smith Director: M. Night Shyamalan Release: June 2013 Judging from the trailer, Will Smith is reunited with his son Jaden on the big screen, after “The Pursuit of Happiness”. Set in a dystopian future, they crash-land on an Earth that has evolved into something very efficient in killing humans. Looks...

MOVIE REVIEW: The Words

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Dennis Quaid, Zoe Saldana Director: Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal Genre: Drama Runtime: 97 minutes If you make a mistake, what do you do? Do you try to make up for your mistakes, or do you try to conceal them? The fact is, you can’t undo mistakes, and you have to live with the consequences however you see fit to deal with them. That is what this movie proposes, when writer Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper) finds an old manuscript and turns it in as his own, becoming...

MOVIE REVIEW: Savages

Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively  Director:  Oliver Stone Genre: Drama Runtime: 131 minutes In Holland, weed is legal (except, strangely, for growing). We can go to a ‘coffee’-shop and buy the stuff. Not so in the United States. Growing, selling and  smoking is illegal (save for Washington and Colorado, since November 6th). The drugs-market is controlled by criminals. Not just some criminals, but mostly Mexican gangbangers. The kind that will rip your throat out if you ever cross their paths on a bad day. And put a video...

MOVIE REVIEW: Everything Is Illuminated (2005)

Starring: Elijah Wood, Eugene Lutz Director: Leiv Schreiber Genre: Drama Runtime: 106 minutes You might’ve heard about Jonathan Safran Foer, author of  ‘Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close’. That was his second book, while ‘Everything Is Illuminated’ was his first. This semi-autobiographic book got a translation to the big screen in 2005, starring Elijah Wood as the author himself. Safran Foer, of Jewish heritage, travels back to Ukraine to find the origin of a picture taken of his Jewish grandfather with an unknown woman, right before he fled to the United...

MOVIE REVIEW: Lawless

Starring: Shia Lebeouf, Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce Director: John Hillcoat Genre: Drama Runtime: 116 minutes I like a drink or two. Or two dozen. And so do Americans. What do you do if booze becomes illegal? You make it yourself. And that’s exactly what the Americans did during the great depression, when alcohol was declared illegal, and that is, incidentally, also what this movie is about. The Bondurant Brothers, Jack (Shia Lebeouf), Forrest (Tom Hardy), and Howard (Jason Clarke) start out as small fry, but work their way up the...
