Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

Utterly forgetable festive offering that is worth avoiding at all costs. Recensie

It’s weak Christmas fare compared to the classics of the genre. But compared to Best. Christmas. Ever! and EXmas it’s bloody Shakespeare. Recensie

If you go into it assuming it’s going to be a mild-comedy / horror-lite film, then you will have a good time. Its perfectly watchable. It just didn’t set my barn ablaze. Recensie

Was it the 100-year anniversary experience that Disney was angling for? Unfortunately no. But, as I am no-longer the target audience, I will point out that my granddaughter Eva is going to see it for the second time today. Recensie

The acting in the main is teeth-achingly poor. This is especially true for Brandy Norwood who deserves a Razzie nomination for the performance. Recensie

This is a steady and worthy historical drama, based on real-events, that is well worth your time. Recensie

A brilliant, visceral and epic biopic of a legendary historical character. Recensie

A frustrating film. Better than I expected in the first two thirds. But then, just like Dream Scenario, the final reel crashed the plane. Recensie

The movie version does play out like a parody, but a good parody. It certainly earns its ’18’ certificate! For lovers of this genre, I think it really hits the mark spot-on. Recensie

The story had some bumpy moments, as above, but as an overall feelgood offering I think older people in particular will definitely appreciate this one. Is it subtle in the way it milks your tear-ducts like some super-heavyweight Jersey cow, late to the parlour for milking? Recensie

It is a film that I think is really well made and is ‘important’ because it bootstraps a discussion about sexual consent between young people. Do I want to ever watch it again? Probably not! Recensie

This is a cracking film and for once I fully agree with the Cannes jury. Get to try to see it on the big screen if you can. Recensie

It’s not one of Fincher’s best in my opinion. Some, I know, find it dull. But, for me, even a Fincher off-day still makes you appreciate the quality of the film-making. Recensie

Elements of the film are truly absorbing and thought-provoking. However, I found it lacked discipline in terms of a) providing a balanced view of the material presented and b) pulling a lot of the scatter-gun theories together to present a clear set of conclusions. Recensie

It’s an intriguing concept, well told albeit with a finale that didn’t quite do it for me. But Cage is truly magnificent throughout. Recensie

As I said, I found this to be most closely related to Booksmart and Polite Society: both favourites of mine. But it’s not as good (imho) as either of those. However, I still found it fresh, energetic and funny for a ribald comedy of this type. Recensie

A ‘nice’ watch that I don’t think many people will find objectionable in any way. It suffers though in comparison with the superior The Great Escaper in most departments. But it is in no way a bust and is worth a watch, even if you have already see the other film. Recensie

It was fun. I enjoyed it, particularly some of the excellent comedy sections. But, with my other head on, it feels a bit of a jumbled, over-hurried mess. Recensie

This is a perfectly pleasant film to watch and will particularly appeal to older viewers looking for a gentle drama told in a linear and predictable way. Recensie

This is a delightful film that, I’m not ashamed to say, made me well-up at the end. Recensie

This is an interesting and entertaining documentary that is well-worth your time if you can get to see it. Recensie

You can surely not be unmoved by this movie. How can it be so enthralling and devasatating to watch a cow going about its business with no ‘dialogue’ per se and no real story? Recensie

This is a bit of a mixed bag, but on the whole I enjoyed it. In my book, it’s worth watching for the snort-worthy barn scene towards the end of the film. Recensie

This is definitely not a film for action lovers. But for fans of TV’s “All Creatures Great and Small”, that’s the sort of gentle, bucolic experience you can expect with this. Recensie
