Thor: Ragnarok Movie Review
8 november 2017 · 1 uur 53 min
The God of Thunder was ready to change his image after Now Playing and so many others hammered his solo films as the silliest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Blade Runner 2049 Movie Review
11 oktober 2017 · 1 uur 55 min
In the early '80s, the dawn of home video, it would be easy to think movies had a lifespan of only four years.

But now this dystopian vision returns to big screens with a sequel: Blade Runner 2049. Harrison Ford returns as Deckard, a man with secrets sought after by a new Blade Runner played by Ryan Gosling. Can director Denis Villeneuve craft a vision that we'll still be discussing in 2052? Listen to this review to find out! Lees meer

Inhumans: The First Chapter Movie Review
3 september 2017 · 1 uur 34 min
Marvel's Inhumans are the result of combining alien DNA with humans. In that way they're neither human nor alien, they're inhuman. Likewise Marvel's Inhumans is a halfbreed--it's neither television nor film. It is the TV series pilot premiering this weekend on IMAX screens. Is it worth the IMAX ticket price to see a shorter version of network television four weeks early? Join Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob in this hair-raising review to find out! Lees meer

Radio Free Albemuth Movie Review
30 augustus 2017 · 1 uur 10 min
Philip K. Dick's novel Radio Free Albemuth was published in 1985, three years after the author's death and nine years after the book was written.

Spider-Man: Homecoming Movie Review
12 juli 2017 · 2 uur 26 min

The Straight Story Movie Review
19 april 2017 · 1 uur 11 min
After the violent, explicit Lost Highway it seems whiplash-inducing that David Lynch's next film would be a G-rated family film for Disney. But that's what The Straight Story is.
