February went by soooooo fast. It was March before we knew it! Where January and February are usually a bit boring, March is really the opposite. A busy month! (And we love it!). So let's talk about the movies of march!
Carola
Se7en

My score: 6,5
Remark: This movie has been added to Netflix Netherlands recently. But I already had it on DVD since Christmas.

Us
Year: 2019
Genre: Horror/ Thriller
IMDB score: 7,4
My score: 6,5
Remark: The director of Get Out, now presents Us. I won't tell about the plot. You'll have to see for yourself. I just thought it was a very weird movie. Entertaining, but weird. Not too bad, but I'm not super enthusiastic either. still have some questions left.
It

The Leisure Seeker

Maze Runner: The Death Cure
Year: 2018
Genre: Action/Sci-Fi
IMDB score: 6,2
My score: 6,5
Remark: Part 3 of the "Maze Runner" trilogy. Same story, watched it because of Katherine McNamara. I hadn't seen this last part yet. I did read the books a few years ago.
Day of the Dead: Bloodline
Year: 2018
Genre: Horror
IMDB score: 3,4
My score: 3
Remark: I gave it a try, because DCC announced Sophie Skelton as a guest. Skelton plays the lead role in what is supposed to be a remake of Romero's "Day of the Dead" (1985)...a very poor remake that is.
211
Year: 2018
Genre: Action/Crime
IMDB score: 4,4
My score: 5
Remark: I also watched this one, because of Sophie Skelton. The story revolves around Mike Chandler (Nicolas Cage). Chandler is a veteran cop, who goes on a routine patrol with his partner (and son-in-law) MacAvoy (Dwayne Cameron) and ride-along Kenny (Michael Rainey Jr.). They stumble upon a bank heist gone wrong. The story is very predictable and it's far from Cage's best work like "Face Off".
Dumbo 3D
Year: 2019
Genre: Adventure/Fantasy
IMDB score: 6,6
My score: 7
Remark: It's not the best live action remake of a Disney movie, but I really liked it. It's the first in a line of three Disney live action remakes in 2019. This May "Aladdin" will hit the cinemas and later this year (in July) "The Lion King" will be released. And especially the last one, I am really looking forward to!
Dirty Pretty Things
Year: 2002
Genre: Crime/Drama
IMDB score: 7,4
My score: 7,8
Remark: I watched it, because it stars a younger Benedict Wong and I really liked it. Especially the acting of Chiwetel Ejiofor, Audrey Tautou and Benedict Wong is great.
Le Jeu (Nothing to Hide)
Year: 2018
Genre: Comedy/Drama
IMDB score: 6,9
My score: 7,5
Remark: Like Carola already mentioned before, we watched this one together in the sneak preview. I really liked the concept of the movie and the fact that it's almost entirely set in the one apartment.
Jackie Brown
Year: 1997
Genre: Crime/Drama
IMDB score: 7,5
My score: 8
Remark: I re-watched this, because Pam Grier, who stars in the title role was announced for Weekend of Hell. The first time I watched it was when it came out in the cinema, now we are 22 years later and I still love it!
