• Movie review: Resident Evil: Retribution

  Mister Anderson, I know that you will never read this letter, but I feel compelled to write you anyway as you are the director of 3 out of 5 Resident Evil movies and thus in a large part responsible for the way the series has developed and is going to develop as you are about…

• Movie Review: Zombieland

  That Woody Harrelson can play something else besides the buffoon roles he seems to be condemned to can be gathered from a movies as the People vs Larry Flynt. He does however play the buffoon well, even to the point of being adorable, so he stars like a buffoon in Zombieland. He is joined by…

• Movie review: Fifty Shades of Grey

She never showed any aptitude in writing before, but it was something to do next to running the family, which pinned her to her house for the better part of the day. The writing…

• Movie review: Er ist wieder da.

  When Hitler wakes up in Berlin in 2014 he is confronted by a thriving modern Germany that, much to his surprise and regret, has not been destroyed in the Götterdämmerung that he had staged at the end of World War II and which he thought was the only thing his country  and people deserved for…

• Movie review: American Sniper

  

  Just like Fury isn’t a movie about World War II, American Sniper isn’t about the Iraq wars. Nor is it about 9/11 and it’s aftermath. And certainly not about an American Sniper. This movie is about America

• Story-telling: Jurassic Park 3/3: Patterns, Patterns

  Welcome to the third part of my posts about Jurassic Park in which I am trying to delve into the story as to learn from it. Perhaps this is useful, or perhaps it is not. As already mentioned there is little to no character development in this movie. It is simply not that kind of…

• Storytelling: Jurassic Park(part 1/3): god, the devil and lunch!

      I write reviews, but not because I want to criticize things. Actually I like to learn how to write and tell stories, so that is why I write them. On one level to learn to write the reviews themselves and on another level to analyse the storytelling of that which I am writing about.…

• Henry and Kristel prepare for Doomsday

  “There are fine lines between referencing something, borrowing from it and beyond that: by duplicating the original.” Kristl said. “Hm? Where are you going with this?” Henry sort of woke up mid sentence.. “Take this line for instance, it consists of letters.. and these are hardly original..as we only got twenty six of them and virtually…
