“I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it did receive some decent reviews and since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. I did watch the TV-show when I was a kid but, to be honest, it was definitely not one of my favorites so, as far as I was concerned, t” read more
“I actually didn’t know this movie had been a huge flop when it was released but since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I have to admit that the beginning was actually not bad at all. Sure, it was rea” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but since it was starring Lieke van Lexmond, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be one of these typical Dutch romantic-comedies involving a dozen of couples and, even though it seems that my wife has a weak spo” read more
“The funny thing with this franchise was that both Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards would claim after each installment that they were done but, at this point, it was so successful that kept making those and Edwards would keep on making more of them even after Sellers passed away. At the time, Peter Se” read more
What was it about?
A chronicle of how Andrés and his nonprofit rebuilds nations in the wake of disaster, providing healthy food to those affected.
My two cents:
The first thing that really impressed me was its visual aspect. Indeed, in my opinion, it really allows you to get an idea of the amplitude of the natural disasters that took place at the time. Concerning José Andrés himself, to be honest, I have to admit that I had never heard of the guy before but his charity work was just so impressive and inspirational. Indeed, there is nothing new about a celebrity giving money or even starting their own charitable organisation but there was something quite unique in his case (in fact, I don’t think I have ever seen anything like this before) was that, each time or, at least, very often, the guy would go himself onsite for weeks to cook and organise in general the feeding of 1000’s of people in need. Of course, with this kind of documentaries, there was not much room to be critical about Andrés and his work. Eventually, they kept repeating, even himself, that he can be terribly grumpy but it was played as something actually rather cute. However, you might wonder if his grumpiness didn’t go further than that. Still, it was definitely an interesting watch, that’s for sure.
My rating: 07/10

“To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this movie but, even if I might be mistaken, it probably turned out to be the saddest movie I have seen so far with my filmclub. Indeed, it was just so intense and it really touched me emotionally. As far as I was concerned, it was just heartbreaking t” read more
“Well, I keep watching this franchise but, to be honest, I’m glad I only have one instalment left to watch (There are actually much more but I don’t have them and they all have a really poor reputation). The previous movie was apparently such a hit (it was up to that point the highest grossing ” read more
