Frank's Pandora

Elegy

Total admiration mixed with commitment phobia leads to (self)destruction. Intelligent relationship drama that is moving and relatable, and beautifully acted by Kingsley, Cruz and Hopper.

Deception

A "cunning plan" and a blue filter on the camera does not a thriller make. The story is very predictable, which kind of defeats the purpose of a thriller.

Wanted

When making this movie the most thought went into the incredible stunts and visuals, but not into the story. A thrilling rollercoaster ride, though, that is amazing to watch.

Bride Wars

Fireflies in the Garden

Although it has its moments and is told in a nice slow pace, this family drama drowns in sentimentality which prevents it from hitting the right note.

Changeling

Very good drama in which Jolie does a great job making her character's frustration tangible. Even more impressive when you realise it's based on a true story.

Get Smart

Stale-joke-laden excuse for a comedy that makes me wish back to the good old days of the first Naked Gun movie. Carell is his usual talent-void self and Hathaway is not even trying.

The Dark Knight

Not your average superhero movie. Thrilling ride through the deepest trenches of human nature. Heath Ledger was amazing as the Joker.
