MoviesFilmhuis Lumen: The Luzhin Defence, thurs. to wed. 19:30, the always excellent John Turturro stars in a thriller about chess, based on a novel by Nabokov.
br />
Microcosmos, mon. 19:45, an up-close and personal journey into the insect kingdom. For folks who get a kick out watching two snails have sex.
American Beauty, do. t/m wo. 19:45 (except monday), last year’s most hyped movie. Staggerringly handsome nerd (when’s the last time you’ve seen one of them), a gratuitously blood ending (just like in Texas Chainsaw Massacre III), an ‘oh so profound’ plastic bag blowing in the wind ‘ pretty standard (and embarassing) Hollywood stuff if you haven’t been hyped into believing otherwise
Delfia:
Cast Away, thrus to wed. 18:30 and 21:30, sat + sun + wed. also at 15.00; the movie that your Hollywood masters demand you spend your money on, starring the always rottenly melodramatic Tom Hanks and (surprise, surprise) timed to tie-in with TV’s current ‘Survivor’ and ‘Temptation Island’ fake, voyeuristic crap. Desert Isles have never been so popular. Tom Hanks gets fat, gets skinny, and overacts with a semi-deflated volleyball, the latter deserving the Oscar that’s surely destined for terrible Tom.
Billy Elliot, sat. + sun. + wed 19:30 and 22:00, thurs + fri. + mon + tues 18:45 and 21:30; a poor boy from a grim industrial town somewhere in England dreams of being either (A) a butcher (B) an alcoholic (c)a bus driver or (d) a ballet dancer. You figure out which one it is that’s got women crying in the aisles.

Unbreakble do. t/m wo. 18.45 en 21.30 (zo. alleen 21.30); thurs. to wed. 18:45 and 21:30 (Sunday only at 21:30) If you liked the Sixth Sense, you’ll positively jump for joy after this one while simultaneously muttering, ‘Boy, makes you think, don’t it?’ A simiiarly spooky, spirtual, quintessentially American let’s-pretend-our-material-world-ain’t-so-material movie. Bruce Willis stars, and Samuel Jackson sports the wig he was supposed to wear in Shaft, but obviously confused his movies. Apparently, after seeing this movie, a number of Americans threw themselves under trains to see if they too were unbreakable. Hope not
