Hollywood Homicide
[Hollywood Homicide](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329717/) tries to be a spoof of cop-and-gangsters suspense/action movies. In short, two homicide detectives are sent to investigate the murder of a hip hop group. Everything is set up for some great comedy: One of them (Harrison Ford) … Continue reading
Pitch Black
[Pitch Black](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134847/) is a science-fiction thriller featuring Vin Diesel as the psychopath/criminal Riddick who would later feature in a sequel, The Chronicles of Riddick. The movie follows in the grand tradition of the many creature-feature movies that transplanted the slasher … Continue reading

[The Terminal](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362227/) is a Spielberg movie featuring Tom Hanks as Viktor Navorski, a traveller from Eastern Europe who barely speaks English and gets stranded in JFK’s international transfer terminal when his country falls into civil war, making his visa and … Continue reading
Lost in Translation
Finally watched the 2003 hit movie [Lost in Translation](http://imdb.com/title/tt0335266/) with Bill Murray last weekend. I always get a kick out of watching movies set in locations I have been to, and I fondly remember Tokyo as this giant, crazy metropolis … Continue reading
I, Robot
Saw the movie last weekend – the German dubbing, unfortunately. I haven’t read the book yet (shame on me), so I will have to judge the movie standalone. I, Robot tells the story of a police detective, Spooner, played by … Continue reading
MIB II – Men in Black 2
Watched Men In Black Part 2 last night. What can I say, it’s really more of the same. If you liked the first one, you’ll like this one too. Interestingly, it carries even less of a plot than the first … Continue reading
Halloween 1
What movie would be more appropriate to my series of Halloween reviews than, well, the movie “Halloween”. This classic with young “scream queen” Jamie Lee Curtis is probably the best known example of the slasher sub-genre of horror movies. For … Continue reading
Halloween Reviews 2003
It’s Halloween Season, and as I had promised last year, I have begun to review more movies. Here’s what I have reviewed so far: 1. [The Quatermass Xperiment](/2002/10/16/the-quatermass-xperiment/) 2. [Event Horizon](/2003/10/20/event-horizon/) 3. [Halloween 1](/2003/10/27/halloween-1/) Don’t forget to read last year’s … Continue reading
Event Horizon
Finally, here we have a movie that’s much more appropriate to Halloween. Sure, it’s a science-fiction movie but that doesn’t really change anything. Event Horizon is a splatter-shocker-horror-movie, plain and simple. Event Horizon stars Laurence Fishburne (in the role of … Continue reading
Close Encounters of the Third Kind DVD
When I went to the DVD fair with Olav, I bought only one DVD: The collector’s edition of “Close Encounters”, at an amazing price of merely 10 euros. It’s the 2 DVD version, too, and tonight I finally watched the … Continue reading
