Growing up in the world of ICT and later in the bakery, I did not expect that a future as a news editor/film reviewer would be in store for me. My father used to renovate cinemas, so we would occasionally go to the films. That's how I saw The Lord of the Rings trilogy on the big screen and subsequently became a big fan. After the renovations stopped, my visits to the cinema also decreased. In the period of 6 years that followed, my interest in films decreased significantly and I started to follow dozens of TV series closely. After seeing Avatar IMAX 3D in December 2009, I was immediately sold. The films in the cinema became more and more fascinating and a real hobby. A year later, I finally decided to buy a Pathé Unlimited pass. The costs that are saved with this for a true film lover are insane. Since then, the counter has stood at more than 300 films and is growing on a weekly basis. Nowadays, I try to watch as many films as possible that are released. I was always looking for a place where I could give my opinion about films and that's how I ended up at Filmhoek.nl. Finally a platform to let loose and write what I really think of a film.
