This movie was made in the style of gems like "the green butchers", "adam's apples" and "flickering lights". No wonder, because those movies also had the stamp of director / writer Anders Thomas Jensen on them (and also actor nicolaj lie kaas in them). Ridiculous story and dialog, hard humor and always unexpected turn of events is his trademark and this movie has it all! I saw one review saying that it was unrealistic and impossible. Well, that was probably the intention of the director, so enjoy it if you like a funny movie and go watch a documentary if you want realism! no spoilers in this review, just watch the movie!

The Northerners
(1992)
dutch humour

don't try to understand this movie if you haven't lived in holland for a considerable time, this movie portrays in a very ironical way, the narrowminded attitude of the dutch people in the 60's. it is sharp and down to earth at the same time. i don't think non-dutchman will appreciate this movie, but you can always try! i am from holland and i thought it was a brillant satire, with good perfomances of a few well known dutch actors (including the director who also plays the role of the postman).i give it an 8 out of 10.
Blade II
(2002)
excellent

what i immediately noticed while watching blade 2 was that it was not a weak rerun of the first blade movie, but that it is completely different in style, which is good. sure, the action level is still extremely high, but it all has a distinctly different look than the first movie. it's even more violent (yes, that's possible) and has more grizzly effects, not a movie for the faint of heart! still the combination of action, music, effects and the arrogant jokes of snipes are making it all very worthwhile, i give it an 8 out of 10!
