Filmrecensies van Ruth Maramis

It’s a compelling, eye-opening documentary that connects two powerful women’s stories. The conclusion was a heartfelt letter from Mariska to her mom, following countless years of pain. Recensie

I always prefer Lois Lane to be central in a Superman story, but the whole script is just a mess to begin with. Recensie

This is the rom-com version of Superman as our Kryptonian hero is reduced to a forlorn, love-sick puppy around Lois. Recensie

Hiring Richard Pryor to amp up the comedic tone is perhaps not the best idea. Even when Pryor wasn’t around, the goofiness is off the charts. Recensie

The casting of Margot Kidder as Lois Lane and Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor creates the perfect trio of the three main characters... Recensie

The first movie with Christopher Reeve will always be special in my heart, but Superman II is no doubt the better movie with a perfect ending. Recensie

While my reaction to this version is largely positive, I wouldn’t say this is a perfect movie. Recensie

This sequel not only lacks an emotional narrative but also lacks real coherence and logic. Recensie

The movie is briskly paced, with well-staged fight scenes and fun car chase scenes, which pretty much tick the boxes for good action movies. Recensie

It’s one of the best films I’ve seen in the cinema, a great example of a full-throttle filmmaking effort. Recensie

This movie isn’t exactly a ‘rebirth’, which implies something refreshingly positive. Instead, it’s more of a ’clone me again and again’ banality. Recensie

Griffiths directs with a great pace, skillfully blending humor with deeper emotional moments. Recensie

Deep Cover might not be a comedy classic of the decade or anything, but it’s an enjoyable popcorn action flick worth watching at home. Recensie

The Life of Chuck is a sweet, poignant existential drama with a simple but powerful message. Recensie

With this movie, Song has cemented herself to be one of my favorite writer/directors. I’ve praised Song’s acerbic wit, but I also appreciate the quieter scenes where her characters communicate without a word is spoken. Recensie

This is certainly one of the top live-action adaptations, created with a lot of passion and real love for the original material. Powell’s iconic score still soars, making it a fun ride for franchise fans, while also attracting new ones. Recensie

Despite its flaws, Chew-Bose certainly shows her flair as a filmmaker. I’m curious to see what she would tackle next. Recensie

The movie doesn’t break new ground and does feel a tad lengthy at just over two hours. Nonetheless, it’s quite a delight for action enthusiasts. Recensie

Considering the nature of the documentary, it tends to be a bit self-indulgent. Still, watching this made me appreciate the franchise even more. Recensie

It’s crass, dumb, unfunny, and downright irritating. Recensie

Directed by Jordan Scott, her direction is well-paced with some interesting camera work, but lacks any real tension. The performances kept me engaged, though the story doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Recensie

I adore the cast, especially the women–Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Susan Sarandon, and Linda Cardellini. Seeing them argue, chuckle, and connect over pots and pans is not only fun but also really touching. Recensie

The New Boy might not be a feel-good summer movie, but there are moments of levity that I didn’t expect. The slow pace can be challenging, and the story certainly challenges our perspectives about themes that are difficult to reconcile with... Recensie

Most of the humor doesn’t land, while some of the action scenes are unintentionally hilarious, such as the shootouts at the pyramids. Recensie
