Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)
Awesome animation and moral message
The level of animation absolutely blew me away! Wow! Seriously, this might be the best animated movie I've seen so far. Incredibly detailed, well visualized scenes, rich of colour and effect.
Also, I was amazed by the great moral message that this movie delivered to us. The personification of Death is awesome, with him having nailed pretty much each line. I really enjoyed watching him. In my opnion, this was something meant for only adults to understand. The fact that wasting your life is bad and that you do have to move on. Bonus point for the doctor in the movie who said "Death comes for us all", which was a very smart foreshadowing.
Must see!
Cobra Kai (2018)
Just super entertaining
The plot is never boring. In some shows, they out in these not very important scens, just to have extra playtime. With this show, that never happens. Also, the acting is great. I love Peyton List's and Ralph Macchio's performances. After season 3, the show really changes its storyline, with new characters and more entertaining plots. There are some characters with a bad plotline to begin with, but if you're just patient, you'll see those people will eventually turn good. In terms of epicness, it's not that high (compared to, for example, Stranger Things). But the directors prove that that is not a must for this show to be good. God acting and good writing is a must, and they achieved that.
Wie is de Mol? (1999)
The best Dutch reality game show
I've been watching this show ever since the 15th season. I just simply love the format: 10 contestants, three games/tasks every episode, and the test at the end which chooses the person to be eliminated. With, off course, the secret Mole, sabotaging the tasks.
I especially loved the All Stars/Renaissance season (2020), with 10 old contestants having a second chance.
Even tot hier (2019)
One of the best Dutch satirical news shows
I just have a huge appreciation to all the writers, who can create a 50 minutes news show (in 5 days!) with tons of jokes and songs, which are always making me laugh. Every episode, they do it again, awesome!
Especially the 'Simple Song' is awesome, where they sing a about a complicated news issue and explain it in one minute.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
One of ther few plane action movies I love
This is one of my few airplane action movies I saw. An epic, spectacular, awesome movie. Way better than its predecessor from 1986. Awesome acting, amazingly made with real jets.
Absolute recommend!!
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
They still got the hang of it!
I would say this is my favorite Jurassic World movie. Mostly because it had so much potential in terms of visual effects. Those are awesome in this movie.
The acting is great. Also, I loved the return of the old cast. The only thing they could've done better is the plot line. Somehow, it's not very eventful.
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Typical Marvel, but not awesome
So, until I watched this movie, I haven't seen any Marvel movie. This was my first one (off course, because this one is the first in the timeline). For a long time, I thought I would hate Marvel movies, but I am starting to like them, maybe because I did watch the Spider-Man movies. It is exactly what you expect to see. Action, adventure, some humor here and there.
Recommend if you are starting to watch Marvel.
Atypical (2017)
Amazing series with humor and emotion
I think this is one of my favorite series. Just the way they make you feel what the characters feel, that awesome. So it carries a lot of emotion, and that in combination with humor, and especially Zahid. And also, I like Sam's addiction with Antarctica, where he tells funny facts, that in some way have similarity with situations in the series. Next to Sex Education, this is my favorite Netflix series.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)
Huge improvement compared to the previous FB movie
Honestly, an awesome movie. A HUGE improvement compared to the previous Fantastic Beasts movie (which was, in my and others' opinion, a huge fail). Awesome acting, especially by Mads Mikkelsen. Also the plot is great, unlike the last movie's crappy plot. And of course, the visual effects are done very well.
Great job!
Absolute Must See!

Zondag met Lubach (2014)
My go-to on Sunday eveving
Unfortunately, Arjen Lubach said farewell to this show in March 2021. But when it aired, it was one of my favorite Dutch tv shows. Every Sunday evening, he summarises the news of the week, and gives a very funny twist to it. Just the way it's done, awesome! And also, I think with some fragments, he changed the way that we look at things now. Such as how stupid the Dutch subject 'comprehensive reading' is. Also I liked the video where he introduces the Netherlands to Trump, in the time of the elections in 2016/2017. I was very sad to see him go.
But... (after a year of Lubach-silence) luckily, now, (March 2022) he is up and running again with his new show (The Evening Show with Arjen Lubach, De Avondshow met Arjen Lubach)!
De avondshow met Arjen Lubach (2022)
Awesome, but copied from USA
I am a huge fan of Arjen Lubach. Ever since he said goodbye to his previous show in march 2021 (Sunday with Lubach, Zondag met Lubach), I missed him. So I am very happy he is back on tv. Now about the Evening Show (Avondshow): Pretty much the same as his previous show, but then, every episode, he invites a guest to interview. I would say, I don't find the interview parts necessary. I mostly like the parts where he talks about a developing problem that has to be solved, he does that almost every episode. And not to forget the awesome work of the writers, writing funny stuff and always making me laugh!
Conclusion: awesome show, love you Arjen Lubach and crew!
