Week In, Week Out

Awards season is looming, which means a bunch of interesting stuff is about to hit the cinemas. One example thereof is this week’s… Movie of the Week The Disaster Artist (2017) When you’re stuck on Netflix Two Weeks Notice (2002): This slushy little romcom of the early millenium, starring Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock at the… Read more

At my most prolific when the year begins, the second week of 2018 brings with itself a respectable crop, with the one non-2017 movie taking the laurels. As you may or may not have noticed, I’m trying to keep the interest alive on facebook by posting some tid-bits immediately after watching something, with the full… Read more

So, how many movies are you going to watch this year? Last year was a bit of a disappointment, with less than 200 pics for me, ranking as one of my least prolific years since 2007. You say ‘give me more numbers’? I say get your own. Here’s to more of the same! Movie of… Read more

End of the year bonanza! Movie of the weeks Bulworth (1998): It might sound silly, but I haven’t had such a good time with a movie I had no expectations of in many, many months! Bulworth is pretty despised in some corners of the internet, even considered a cinematic abomination, but that all went beyond me.… Read more

I don’t know what I’m doing, I haven’t seen a really good movie in a while and it’s all due to my very conscious selection patterns. Once again, this week’s top choice is more commendable for the attempt, not the result. Ah well. Movie of the Week The Wizard of Lies (2017) A Christmas Prince… Read more

A very light week once again, with some foodies, some romcomies, some biopicies…that got out of hand quickly. Hard to pick a stand-out, but I’ll go with nostalgia and feel-good, seeing how Christmas is just around the corner. Movie of the Week Definitely Maybe (2008) The original before the remake Mostly Martha (2001): The original… Read more

The lack of productivity from two weeks ago forced me to postpone all reviewing endeavours. It’s going to be obvious though that Defending your Life and The Trip are part of a different mind frame to the latter choices. Unfortunately, in spite of the number of movies I indulged, none really stood out for a… Read more

Blablablablablabla. And did I mention, bla! Movie of the Week Mother (1996) Some Monday Mother (1996): I’ve officially embarked on the Albert Brooks tour. As of today, I can’t really say whether it’s a tour I really like or not, but Mother was a pleasant surprise to begin with. The tagline really says a lot: no one… Read more

A blockbuster as the pick of the week, who’d have thunk it? Movie of the Week Thor: Ragnarok (2017) The forgotten one The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017): A good if not completely enthralling movie by Noah Baumbach, who keeps exploring themes around family and art. It’s one of those odd movies starring Adam Sandler… Read more

It’s all the same, day in, day out. Rinse and repeat. This week’s theme. Movie of the Week Groundhog Day (1993) February 2nd! Groundhog Day (1993): I had this memory, that Groundhog Day was a really awesome movie. Last time I saw it, I must have been in my early teens. It’s just one of those… Read more

So much forgettable in a single week, disgusting. That’s what holidays do to your movie watching habits! Movie of the Week Wind River (2017) Just before departure Better Watch Out (2016): This little slasher pic takes a few slasher tropes and turns them on their head, in the ironic way that appears to be the sole… Read more

Being productive while gaping away at the ripples of the Mediteranean is not that easy. Well, it’s easy, it just isn’t right, in a fundamentally existential way. That’s probably what Villeneuve and co. thought while making this movie of the weeks. Movie of the Weeks Blade Runner 2049 Some manic Monday Gerald’s Game (2017): This… Read more
