| A day in the life of a supermarket (the old Maxi GB in Kraainem to be precise). Strangely mesmerising despite any real story. Gets bonus points for historical/nostalgia value. |
| Standard slasher that fails to take advantage of its cast, particularly the almighty Bruce Campbell. Nice practical effects, weak dialogue. |
| Definitely my type of dark ridiculous humour. Always ready for pissed-off working-class anti-heroes. |
| Steamiest noir I've ever seen, in more ways than one. Turner and Hurt have impressive chemistry. |
| I've never been a fan of the Beach Boys. They were before my time and, by the time I heard them, they'd been imitated so many times that I never got that "wow" feeling when you hear something so different and new.
It's easy to see from this documentary that Brian Wilson is an absolute genius as far as composition and studio work go. However, watching a man who's been through so much struggle as he gets taken down memory lane feels shameless and exploitative. |
| Surprisingly impactful and intelligent story of generational conflict and the distress of all parties involved. Quite a time capsule too, depecting the invasion of the supermarket and the death of the corner shop, the youth revolts of the time, and the destruction of Brussels' northern quarter in order to build a sterile skyscraper district. |
| Serviceable heist/political thriller film that gets more heavy-handed as it progresses. The link with the Brabant killers wasn't really needed either. Definitely watchable and even enjoyable. Also nice to see Brussels and other parts of Belgium show up as themselves in a film for once rather than pretending to be Paris or some other foreign location. |
| It has its flaws, but this intimate French drug dealing thriller manages to avoid most of the genre's clichés. The focus on the complexity of life in the Paris projects rather than gun fights and racism makes for a welcome change. Powerful performances by Reda Kateb and Matthias Schoenaerts |
| Excellent understated satire of seventies suburban america and much of the emptyness behind it. One of those films you think back to and notice jokes after the fact. |
| It tackles interesting and important issues but never seems to fully follow through. A bit of a mixed bag. Worth a watch for the world building and ambition it shows. |
