Almost twenty (!) years ago, I wrote an article for the website Moviescene listing my ten favourite movies. Looking back at it now is a fascinating trip down memory lane. These are the films that made a lasting impression on me and helped shape my love of cinema. Continue reading
I’m a huge fan of Christopher Nolan’s work, so naturally, I had to catch his recently released The Odyssey on the big screen in IMAX. And so I did. But after experiencing that cinematic spectacle, I felt like revisiting some of Nolan’s older films. One of them was Dunkirk, which I saw in cinemas when it was released in 2017 and found incredibly boring. His dullest film to date, according to my ten-years-younger self. What a mistake that was! Continue reading
As a fan of the Jurassic Park franchise, I’ve had a little voice in the back of my mind telling me to revisit the third instalment for years. I watched this mediocre movie ages ago, probably around the time it was released, and considered it the black sheep of the series. But with so many sequels coming out over the years, the bar has gradually been lowered. And recently, the time finally came. I watched Jurassic Park III again! Continue reading
Watching the 2026 World Cup last summer has me reminiscing about a bygone era. A time when I competed in the World Cup myself! Not in person, of course, but from the comfort of my own home. With my trusty monochrome grey Nintendo Game Boy in hand. Continue reading
For a while now, I’ve been actively logging the films I watch on Letterboxd. Feel free to follow me there. One list in particular has always intrigued me on that platform: films that have been watched more than a million times. In many ways, it reflects the platform’s most popular titles, and since the Letterboxd audience tends to be slightly more “snobbish” than, say, IMDb, those numbers are especially interesting. Continue reading
When it comes to quality cinema, the James Bond franchise isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind. Sure, the more recent entries are solid, but much of the older catalogus leans more toward pulp than prestige. With one major exception: Casino Royale. Because let’s be honest, this is still the best Bond film ever made. Continue reading
In an earlier piece about Interstella 5555 by Daft Punk, I briefly touched on how watching films used to require more effort, and how that effort often enhanced the overall experience. That raises an interesting question: what do you do with all those films that simply aren’t available on streaming services, but that you still really want to see? Continue reading
These days, being a dedicated film lover often means you’re stuck choosing between the cinema and a seemingly endless list of VOD platforms. And let’s be honest, the offerings on those platforms can be pretty disappointing. I recently went looking for Interstella 5555 by Daft Punk, only to find that it was nowhere to be found. No streaming service, no easy digital option. Thankfully, I eventually stumbled upon a few physical copies being sold on Vinted. Continue reading
I think it’s been well over ten years since I first played Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Nintendo Wii U. The Wii U struggled at the time and had only a handful of exclusives truly worth playing, but this was definitely one of them. I remembered having a great time with its diorama-style puzzle levels, so when I spotted the Nintendo 3DS version for just a few euros, I thought: why not? Continue reading
ChuChu Rocket is one of those SEGA classics that deserves a proper comeback. Originally released alongside the SEGA Dreamcast, the game later found its way to the Game Boy Advance and eventually to iOS and Android. Unfortunately, those mobile versions were pulled from digital storefronts years ago. Which makes this the perfect moment for something new. Or better yet, a complete ChuChu Rocket collection. Here are seven reasons why SEGA should bring the series back. Continue reading
