Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

Amid the haunted-house jump scares and the graphic violence, decent bits of humor work their way into the picture. Recensie

Surely one of the cleverest of the musical comedies of the ’30s, as well as, arguably, Astaire and Rogers’ greatest collaboration. Recensie

As a ripped-from-the-headlines police procedural, Frenzy is above average. But it’s somewhat lacking for Hitchcock, despite its fascinating deviations from his usual projects... Recensie

It’s original, confounding, and profound, though it culminates in an ending capable of exasperating half of its viewers, while giving the other half a glimmer of hope. Recensie

Actually could have been a touch longer, to detail a bit more of the characters’ predicaments, yet its fast pace, coupled with its use of history as an intermittent backdrop to love, is strangely, hauntingly unique. Recensie

Here, the thrills can never really be described as larger-than-life characters engaging in heroic undertakings; this world is dark, gritty, brutal, and unforgiving – yet uncommonly absorbing. Recensie

By the end, it doesn’t feel like a complete film, but it’s nonetheless effective, thought-provoking, and sweet. Recensie

The camaraderie, humor, and bittersweetness of the finale can’t overcome the strangeness of Lee’s fate, which doesn’t feel like fitting justice. Recensie

As insightful as it is colorful, and as cinematically entertaining as it is provocative. Recensie

It may not be a nail-biter, but the subject matter is educational, captivating, and entertaining. Recensie

This lack of verve carries over to the musical numbers as well, which can’t manage to replicate the catchiness of those written for the original. Recensie

One meaningless battle after another assaults the senses, until even the action sequences appear dull. And with such one-note characters, none of the adventure, destruction, romance, or peril have any impact. Recensie

The two leads are quite impressive, managing to overcome the limitations of their largely stock roles to create a warmth and an energy not often found in such softball approaches to periods of historical despair. Recensie

The love story itself is the highlight, boasting a rawness and realism, smartly designed amid the alternating fantasy and horror of a carefree past and a forbidding future. Recensie

The boisterous, tumbling waters certainly make for a unique backdrop to the drama, additionally providing a nemesis for the climax, which again returns to the macabre subjects of classic film noir. Recensie

Bursting with deviant creativity, Mutant Aliens transitions into quite the adventure film, full of shootouts and high-speed chases, though it remains less focused – and, ultimately, less amusing – than Plympton’s previous efforts. Recensie

Although the animal has been switched from a seafaring man-eater to a land-based monstrosity, Grizzly doesn’t craft much of an identity beyond Jaws in the woods. Recensie

It’s as if Cuaron aims to convey that any random period in an individual’s life can be either usual or unusual, but undoubtedly not the heavily embellished fiction most often witnessed in customary moviemaking. This, of course, infrequently translates into entertainment. Recensie

More of a remake than a continuation, this follow-up provides moderate amusement but ultimately only for audiences itching for continued massacres from the vengeful, cursed specter. Recensie

Lanthimos once again opts to inject bizarreness for the sake of bizarreness, at a great detriment to both artistry and entertainment value. Recensie

The space-bound, sci-fi/horror subgenre is rare enough that Event Horizon is still a welcome inclusion. Recensie

Alternating with the mild adventure are moments of brief body horror, a hint of humor, glimpses of nudity, and even intermittent flirting. Recensie

Isn’t a complete adventure as much as it is a small, confined exercise in horror and suspense. It’s also worth mentioning that the acting is exceptional... Recensie

Everything about Creed II happens like clockwork; there’s not a single moment that isn’t entirely anticipated. Recensie
