Five friends from ‘Maaskantje’ are getting fired because of the economic crisis. They decide that they won’t pay for anything anymore.

Based on the New Kids on the Block TV show, this Dutch comedy is something out of this world. It’s raunchy, funny, gorey, and I love the fact that they use “cunt” (kut) as a punctuation mark. Six popcorns f for a great movie that goes into the Movie Vault.

Great recommendation from Maria, who did the Dutch version of the “Lost in Translation” article a while back.

The hilarious adventures of two best friends, Apache chief Abahachi and cowboy Ranger, in the Wild West.

Absurd and funny, made in 2001, but with a feeling of the 70s, it feels similar to the likes of “Hot Shots!” and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”, but with a western theme. Germans really nailed this one and it’s a good comedy. Four popcorns.

This is the first movie recommended by Æero in his “Lost and Found in Translation” interview.

When fate brings Belfast teacher JJ into the orbit of self-confessed ’low life scum’ Naoise and Liam Og, the needle drops on a hip hop act like no other. Rapping in their native Irish, they lead a movement to save their mother tongue.

Great movie about culture and standing up for yourself, written by and starring the three members of the band Kneecap. Grand watch, six popcorns and lands into the Movie Vault.

Second recommendation from Draí, looks like Irish cinema is delivering some strong punches lately.

In rural Ireland, a quiet, neglected girl is sent away from her dysfunctional family to live with relatives for the summer where she blossoms and learns what it is to be loved.

Such a heartfelt wee movie! It’s slow, it takes its time to slowly unfold itself and the story within. It’s emotional, the music is great, the acting (especially of the wee Catherine Clinch as Cáit, but also Carrie Crowley’s as Eibhlín) is spot on. Definitely one of the best movies I’ve seen this year, and it goes into the Movie Vault.

This is first movie that was pulled from the “Lost and Found in Translation” series, and it was suggested by Draí.

Two car racing champions, an American and a German, face off on the world’s hardest endurance course: Le Mans in France.

Can a movie about cars be a musical? Sure it can! Starring the great Steve McQueen, it’s a proper racing movie, about cars, about racing. None of the love mumbo-jumbo, none of the filler content you get in modern movies. Definitely a classic that is hard to topple. Seven popcorns without a doubt and races towards the Movie Vault.

Two brothers have half of a powerful ancient Chinese talisman. An evil gang leader has the other half, and determines to get the brothers’ half and have a complete medallion so he can gain absolute power.

Based on the game that also gave us one of the coolest cartoon series of the 90s, this movie is absolute shit. It’s coming from a weird time where studios would be bringing big names (Robert Patrick, Mark Dacascos, Scott Wolf) into a series of movies based on successful franchises from other media (remember Street Fighter with JCVD and Raoul Julia? Or the Mortal Kombat movies of the 90s?). Objectively, it’s a bad movie, but a cult classic nevertheless. I’m surprised I didn’t know about it until now, considering Alyssa Milano is starring as well. Four popcorns.

Mats Steen, a Norwegian gamer, died of a degenerative muscular disease at the age of 25. His parents mourned what they thought had been a lonely and isolated life, when they started receiving messages from online friends around the world.

This is a hard movie to watch, it’s sad and it hits close to home, being a WoW player. A sad, but somehow uplifting story, that tells us that friendships and human relationships transcede the physical world. Six popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.

David Haller is a troubled young man diagnosed as schizophrenic, but after a strange encounter he discovers special powers that will change his life forever.

Set in the X-Men shared universe, it’s got some kid of mutants, weird technology. It’s trippy, weird, cinematic and pretty hard to watch sometimes. It does get pretty weird sometimes and this is both its doing and undoing. It’s a good show, but don’t expect action galore, as it’s pretty slow burning and a cinematic experience. Four popcorns.

After the Kingsman’s headquarters is destroyed and the world is held hostage, an allied spy organization in the United States is discovered. These two elite secret agencies must band together to defeat a common enemy.

The second instalment in the Kingsman series is a solid sequel, tidying up some of the loose ends of the previous movie and going bonkers with both cast, setting, writing and amount of fun. Six popcorns as well and it’s always a joy to see this. It also gets into the Movie Vault.

A spy organisation recruits a promising street kid into the agency’s training program, while a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.

Great James Bond-like movie and there’s really not much to say about it. The cast is great, the acting is stellar, the story and the effects are well made. All in all, 6 popcorns for a flick that jumps into the Movie Vault.

When Enola Holmes, Sherlock’s sister, discovers her mother is missing, she endeavors to find her, becoming a super-sleuth in her own right as she outwits her famous brother and unravels a dangerous conspiracy.

Oh, what a great little movie! Breaking the fourth wall with such a casual vibee draws you into the story and makes this movie such a fun one. Lovely acting all along and while not a masterpiece, it’s one of the few movies of the latest years that really lifts up your mood. Six popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

Injuries sustained by two Army rangers behind enemy lines in Afghanistan set off a sequence of events involving a congressman, a journalist and a professor.

Proper movie about politics and its effects on people, mass media and journalists. It’s bleak, it’s going to make you sad, and looking at what we know now about the US military invasion of Afghanistan, shows how out of reach with humanity the politicians are. Great performances by some great actors. Five popcorns.
