21/01 - Groenten uit Balen
Story about a strike which lasted for 9 weeks in the early 70s , and how in impacts the lives of the people involved. Well made and entertaining.
09/02 - Purgatory
After being locked up for several years for murder, a girl is released from an institution. She moves back into her old appartment. Soon, mysterious things start happening. Rather boring.
11/02 - War Horse
Spielberg's take on World War I, tells the tale through a horse's journey during the war. It wasn't bad, but it could have used a faster pace. At times there wasn't a lot going on.
15/02 - Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace
The rendition in 3D was rather unsuccesful. Either there wasn't a 3D feel, or when there was a 3D feel, the background was so blurred, causing too much loss of detail.
25/02 - This Means War
Two CIA agents fall for the same girl, and try to outdo each other. Fun!
10/03 - John Carter (3D
A civil war vet is magically transported to Mars and finds himself in the middle of a war. It wasn't bad, but somehow, I expected more.
23/03 - The Hunger Games - Every year a boy and a girl of each of 12 provinces is selected for a fight to the death. I loved it, although I wouldn't have minded if the intro was made 20 minutes shorter.

XXXth Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival
05/04 - The Raven - Story about Edgar Allan Poe. Not a whole lot happened in this movie.
06/04 - The Divide - Follwing an nuclear strike, a bunch of people in an appartment building lock themselves in the cellar. Interesting pitch, but the movie was too long and became boring
07/04 - Lockout - The President's daughter has been captured as a hostage during a prison break in an earth orbit prison. Fun entertaining mainstream sci-fi action.
08/04 - The Woman - A man captures a wild woman in the woods, locks her in her cellar and tries to domesticate her. Interesting finale, but the movie took forever getting there. This story had more potential.
09/04 - The Whistleblower - A policeofficer transfers to the UN troups in Bosnia. She discovers UN soldiers are involved in human trafficing, and decides to blow the whistle. This movie could have used a faster pace, and a few explicit shots. Now it's just an average weekend film.
11/04 - Lobos de Arga - A writer returns to his home village to get a reward. He discovers the real reason for his return, is to and a 100 year old werewolf curse. Nice mix of humor, suspense and gore.
12/04 - Killer Joe - The son of a disfunctional family comes home with a plan to have their mother killed to collect the insurance money. A fun black comedy.
12/04 - Juan de los Muertos - A group of 6 survivors amidst a Zombie plague in Cuba decide to offer a service to clean up your loved ones for a fee. Original take on the Zombie theme.
13/04 - The Incident - Members of a band work as cooks in mental facility to pay the bills. When the power goes down, the patients run amok and kill the guards. Boring.
13/04 - Extraterrestre - A guy and a girl wake up after a night of fun, and find the town empty. Above the city is a large UFO. When a neighbor and the girl's boyfriend appear, they have to hide they slept together. Nothing much happens in this movie.
17/04 - The Cabin in the Woods - 5 friends plan a vacation in a remote cabin in the woods. They become trapped in an evil plot. Not bad, but it's a movie with ups and downs

05/05 - The Avengers - Not bad, but I need another viewing to form an opinion.
11/05 - American Reunion - A missed opportunity. Too many new characters adding nothing to the story, and a lot of original characters getting 1 line of dialogue. It did have it's moments. But too many scenes were unfunny and didn't work.

65 Festival de Cannes - Le Marché du Film
16/05 - Zombibi - When 4 guys wake up in jail, the town is suffering from a zombie plague. Very entertaining
16/05 - Detention of the Dead - Beverly Hills 90210 with zombies. It had it's moments but as a whole, it fell a bit short
16/05 - Excision - Story about a girl and her ill sister. The girl who is somewhat of an outcast in school, wants to become a surgeon. She has arty-farty dreams of being a surgeon. Strange but interesting movie with a non-mainstream ending
18/05 - 6 Plots - A girl wakes up after a party, and finds her 6 friends missing. She discovers they are all locked away in boxes. They will all die, unless she can solve the mystery. Intelligent thriller with an oversimplified ending.

10/06 - Prometheus - Although it is claimed not to be an Alien prequel, for me it definitely is, when I briefly noticed Jerry Goldsmith's theme in the music. The movie itself was above average in my opinion.
22/06 - Rock of Ages - Broadway rendition of the hardrock metal scene in the late 80s. A very enjoyable movie driven by a killer soundtrack.
29/06 - Snow White and the Huntsman - Extremely boring, and Charlize Theron gave a very obnoxious performance in this one. But hey, the seven dwarfs were there, all eight of 'em 
23/07 - The Dark Knight Rises - Not bad, but do these movies actually need to run 168 minutes. Make it at least 30 minutes shorter and you get a much better paced movie.
01/09 - The Expendables 2 - I liked the first one better. But it was still fun, and it had great oneliners.
14/09 - The Bourne Legacy - Jason Bourne sequel without the Bourne character. Not the reboot of the franchise I'd hoped. It still has action and intrigue, but somehow there is something missing.
12/10 - The Broken Circle Breakdown - It's about a couple losing their child to cancer, and how it affects their lifes. Strong performances, and a very catching story.
26/10 - Taken 2 - A CIA operative and his wife are taken prisoner by the father of kidnapper, who got killed while rescuing his daughter. Not as strong as the first, but still a good action thriller.
05/11 - Skyfall - The latest Bond. It's totally different from the previous ones.
23/11 - The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 - If they would cut up part 1 & 2 into a 2 hour movie, they'd have one hell of a movie
14/12 - [b]The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey[/] - Welcome back to Middle Earth

Actual Visits

1/6 - Girl With Dragon Tattoo. Loved it. My wife says it was very true to the book. Definitely getting the BD of this one.
1/8 - Sherlock Holmes (thanks Kathy!). Slow start, but finally loved it. Will also get the BD on this. Sound effects were awesome, including the classical music excerpts.
2/11 - Red Tails. Fanciful and patriotic portrayal of an important part of American History. Will also get this on Blu-Ray.
3/10 - Gone. Not bad. There was a potential for more powerful acting here. Enjoyable nonetheless, and it was nice to see some lesser known actors get a shot.
5/6 - Avengers. Stupendous. See it in Imax if you can.
6/14 - Prometheus. Good fun. Awesome LFE. Story and acting are a bit weak. 3D effects did not stress my eyes.
11/?? - Battleship
12/?? - Lincoln
