Die Another Day (2002)
nice...
First of all, I would like to say that Pierce Brosnan is better than he was in 1999's "the world is not enough". He clearly had a lot of fun during the filming of this movie. Also, Halle Berry is beautiful as Jinx. But the thing that amazed me the most, was the role of Toby Stephens, the villain Gustav Graves. He is the youngest man ever to play the villain in a bond movie and he does that very well, way better than the weak performance of Robert Carlyle in "the world..." The ice palace is a fantastic creation, one of the most beautiful in the history of James Bond. And, finally, Bond drives an aston martin. The way it should be... So, "die another day" is a good Bondmovie, with loads of action, sex, adventure and, of course, beautiful women.
Alias (2002)
not bad at all, but...
To me, the best movie Jan Verheyen ever made was "alles moet weg". Simply brilliant. And what about this one ? Well, it had almost immediatly my interest, because it was a thriller. When the movie was over, I thought it wasn't bad. And it isn't. The acting is good, some moments are really frightning and we saw a new actress here: Hilde De Baerdemaker. She has one of the main roles in this movie and she does that very well. The weak points of the movie? Well, the ending is a bit to cheap, it looked like Verheyen hadn't much time left and why does he always put those freaky sex scenes in his movies? OK, I'm not extremely catholic and I have nothing against sex or nudity or beautiful women, but in every movie Verheyen uses some "hardcore sex" That really sucks. Also, some people said it was "the most scary movie that they'd ever seen". Well, not exactly... It IS scary, but it's no "silence of the lambs" or "de lift", made in the Netherlands, by the way. My final opinion: not bad at all, but due to the ending & some stupid scenes, who think they're scary, this movie is not a masterpiece. But, this is belgian made, for our country it's allright. With a larger budget, this would've been better than "de lift". Nice try.
