House Rules (2013)
"Oh my God"
Must be the most used phrase in this show.
If there is something that stands out, it is that the people participating in this show and jury have no taste in interior decoration at all.
Hilarious to watch, hence the 3/10 rating.
Top Gear: Australian Northern Territory Road Trip In GT Cars (2015)
Star in a reasonably priced car
Kiefer Sutherland in the reasonably priced car! Euhm... not aired in Belgium? Only the special on Australia with the Nissan (or Datsun) GT- R, Bentley Continental GT V8 and BMW M5 Gran Coupé.
Weird.
Anyhow, I expected more of the Australian special. It was quite dull and flattened out. Too bad. It used to be more spontaneous in the past, as I have experienced over the past seasons. They seem to be struggling to keep it that way, which makes it quite 'fake' and forced. I really hope the past two episodes are no indication for the rest of the season, or I might even think it is a good thing this crew will not be the presenting team anymore.
Get rid of that awful laughing tape audience by the way. Abolish, banish, pure, expel them!
District 9 (2009)
Surprised, in a good way.
What I thought would turn out as 'yet another alien movie, with shooting, killing and destruction' - very shallow, I know - this one surprised me and showed a world where aliens are stuck or maybe even left/escaped their home planet and came to planet Earth as refugees.
As they are living for 20 years in a slum, it comes very close to what is experienced amongst humans in real life. People, refugees, escaping their home country, hoping for a brighter future ending up in camps and living in nothing but misery, poverty and unhealthy conditions day after day.
As head of the eviction team, Wikus Van De Merwe, working for the MNU is responsible of making sure the aliens (in the movie referred to as 'prawns') are being reallocated far out of the city from District 9 to District 10.
While getting the documents for eviction and transfer to District 10 approved by each and every of the aliens, Wikus stumbles upon a black fluid which he accidentally sprays in his eyes. Resulting in life changing consequences. Wikus will have to rely on the other species to survive.
If you are not convinced whatsoever by any review or rating for this movie. Watch it anyway. I dare you. I did the same and have not regretted it.
Very much worth watching!
