Friends

I must admit, I really love friends, the series with Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monika, Phoebe and Joe.

I have bought the complete series, 40 DVDs of fun. And I am still watching it the second time. What I don't see, is why Ross wants to get together with Rachel or she with him.

But I do like Monika and Chandler getting together. Probably because I like Monika and I sometimes feel like a less funny Chandler.

Stranger than Fiction

With my motto, Stranger than Fiction, is a must review.

A great cast, not just because of big names, but really believable actors having roles that fit or are as great to fit in those roles.

A story which is new, fresh and not predictable (OK, the ending probably is to some extent).

Special effects which are not just about explosions, transforming cars or talking animals but do help to express the story.

A leading Lady Maggie Gyllenhaal who is beautiful but rather real than what we see far too often. Sure, I wouldn’t kick Megan Fox out of my bed, but I’d rather have a family with Maggie. Sadly, some other guy already had that idea…

Also beautiful photography. A lot of work went into scouting the locations and the colour-coding is superb.

On the negative side is a to some extent predictable ending, a few passages which could be cut a bit more.

The verdict? 8.5/10
