Review: One of the better DC films I've seen. Unfortunately there are some bad special effects in it that made me cringe a bit. Gal Gadot is great in the lead however and carries the movie.

Review: I suppose most people have heard about The Anarchist Cookbook. I'm not sure that too many know anything about the man behind it, William Powell. This documentary confronts the writer with the tragic influence it has had, and we get to meet a writer in almost complete denial.

Rating: 6/10
Review: I can't even begin to say how much I've been looking forward to this film. I'm still in love with the original film, so needless to say I was psyched about this one. And it's good. It's just not as good as I had hoped. It relies a bit too much on the first film, and don't really seem to be able to stand on it's own two feet. Worth watching of course if you, like me, loved the first film, but all in all it's not that special.

Review: This is an adaptation of Robyn Davidson's memoir of the same name, chronicling the author's nine-month journey on camels across the Australian desert. It was not bad, but somehow the story felt a bit too easy. I was kind of expecting that Robyn would come across way more hurdles than we get to see in the film. This made it a bit too monotonous for me.
