Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

Ok here comes in all earnest my first mobile blog post. Srpski film – or A Serbian Film. There has been quite some hype about it in Swedish mainstream media, so I was curious what it was all about. Despite my admittance to certain dark side interests, slasher movies aren’t one of them. Well I’m [...]

I woke up an hour ago. Slightly lightheaded but in good spirit. Reinout left for an early meeting and I have the bedroom for myself, reading news and diving into some topics of interest. Sebastian is playing in his cot in the adjourning room. He talks to himself in the most sweetest voice. It’s like [...]

Summer has really hit Holland, and for once it’s real summer. It’s hot, hot, hot and I suddenly find myself without a proper summer working waredrobe. If it wasn’t for an account in C minus I would’ve gone on a shopping spree, because it’s sales. Instead I find myself planning a weekend of dinner and [...]

I can’t wait unti May 27th….the release date of Sex and the City II!! As a self-proclaimed SATC gal, this date is holy to me. In the meantime, to get a well needed fix of my fav serie, I am doing a re-run of the episodes and the last movie with Victoria. Victoria is in [...]

Why is it that men can’t be relied upon to find a good movie? Reinout had already selected a film for us to see, and it was no idea to protest, so I went along with it….Lost City Raiders. It was one of the worst movies I’ve seen since… well a few months back when [...]

I’m sitting here on the sofa, super relaxed, with a glass of Bailey’s in one hand and an espresso in the other. We’ve just come home from a day out in town. As it was just me and Victoria with little Sebastian in tow, we’ve been going in and our of shops for the most [...]

Belle de Jour was every bit as good as I had imagine. It will join my proud collection of French art-house classics such as Irreversible, Betty Blue, La Haine and Baise Moi. I couldn’t help but wanting to continue my French mood, and thus a few glasses of Champagne and French Vogue later I feel [...]

Yesterday Reinout whisked me off on an impromptu visit to Amsterdam’s Jordaan area. There we were walking along the many market stalls selling everything from fruit and vegetables, Indonesian Lumpia, vintage clothing and fur coats to DVD’s books and antiques. I was very happy as I managed to find a DVD I had wanted to [...]

There’s a film I’m eager to see – Antichrist by Lars von Trier. Although I love the small independent films, I have seen very little of this enigmatic filmmaker. But I love a well produced thriller or horror flick, and the trailer looks more than promising. What’s even more promising is the response from the [...]

…I ask myself after our latest domestic episode. Reinout took control of the remote, and started zapping. I was expecting an interesting show like CSI or Cold Case.  Instead I found myself watching a Steven Segal Movie – some Mercenary for Justice that scored 4.1 on IMDB. I should be grateful I know, it could [...]
