(http://s3.amazonaws.com/coolproduction/ckeditor_assets/pictures/5204/original/hostel-3-blu-ray.jpg?1327592137)
Plot/Story: While attending a bachelor party in Las Vegas, four friends are enticed by two sexy escorts to join them at a private party way off the Strip. Once there, they are horrified to find themselves the subjects of a perverse game of torture, where members of the Elite Hunting Club are hosting the most sadistic show in town.
Review: Well, since i am a fan of some of Tarantion's work. And i really enjoyed the Hostel 1 & 2. I had high hopes for this one. But it didnt take long for me to see that this movie wouldnt be anything near the 2 first movies. The first mistake i think they did, was to make a different story/plot then the other 2 movies. And the story was a bit weird, and not that believable to me. And for the grapich parts. (that hostel is known for.) they did a very bad job IMO alot of place. You could you see how fake it was. (Something they did ALOT better in the first two movies.) But there was some parts that was ok in the movie. Dont get me wrong.
And the acting in this movie could be alot better too IMO.. But thats just me.
All in all, i was disappointed in this movie. With what they did with the two first movies. But if you really liked the Hostel 1 & 2, check out the trailer.
But for me, i wouldnt recommend it..

I didn't even realize there was a part 3 to Hostel. :bag:I have seen the trailer at some point and it actually seemed somewhat interesting (you know, for a Part 3). But bad acting (Piffi, that probably isn't jut you ;)) and even more bad effects? I'll most likely stay away fom it now.
Post by: Piffi on June 09, 2012, 10:52:59 AM
And for the Hostel 3, thats what i would recommend anyways. I was a huge fan of the first two hostel movies. And i am a huge fan of Tarantinos horror work.
But in the part 3 here, i think he\they dropped the ball. They kinda ruined it for me.
But for people who liked the two first movies, and are not sure if you want to watch it or not. Watch the trailer, and remember. The trailer is lying a bit IMO.

Plot\Story: A television reporter and cameraman follow emergency workers into a dark apartment building and are quickly locked inside with something terrifying.
Review: Oh, spanish horror. Either your lucky and find a good horror movie. Or you find a really bad one! And this one was actually not that bad.
I didnt have any expectations for it all. But it actually surprised me in a good way. And they have made it more like a "documentary" a
camera team, that follows firefighters at work. And then ugly things is starting to happen. That they cant explain. And you see it all trough the pow of the camera team. And i found the movie actually enjoyable. Its not as good as Paranomal etc. But not the worst horror movie
i've seen either. And i would actually recommend this one, for the horror lovers out there.
There is a REC 2 out aswell, that i've seen. I will write a review about that one too in awhile. :)

Plot\Story: The action continues from [Rec], with the medical officer and a SWAT team outfitted with video cameras are sent into the sealed off apartment to control the situation.
Review: Well, to be a follow up, to REC. I actually enjoyed this one better then the first one. I liked how they tried to build to the story of the movie. And keep the suspence going trough out the movie. And they kept some of the actors\actresses from the first movie. Wich is a good thing IMO. And to me, this movie had a bit more twists and turns. Wich is always good in a horror movie. And i kinda liked how it ended aswell. Not the best acting, but its an highly enjoyable movie. With an interesting story to it. And if you liked the first one (REC) you have to see this one aswell.
I would recommend it highly anyways. :)

Plot/Story: Hollywood legends Rock Hudson and Doris Day light up the screen in the Academy Award®–winning* romantic comedy Pillow Talk. When uptight interior decorator Jan Morrow (Day) is forced to share a telephone party line with carefree playboy Brad Allen (Hudson), there is no connection between them. However, when the two accidently meet in person, sparks fly and the smitten Brad pretends to be a wealthy Texan, wooing Jan with late–night calls. Featuring timeless songs by Doris Day and scene-Stealing performances by Tony Randall and Thelma Ritter, this charming comedy will sweep you off your feet.
Review: Well, what can i say? I actually enjoyed the movie. A good story about it. And i liked how the movie was played out. And the actors\actresses did a great job. And is always great to see Doris Day in her prime And for a classic movie to be. It did a good job. But there was a few things they both could and should have done better. All in all, a good movie. And with a weird love story in between. And for people who loves a good old classic from 'good' days. I recommend this one.

Blitz (2011)
Plot/Story: Detective Sergeant Tom Brant who is dispatched to take down a serial killer hell bent on killing off the police force one by one. "The Blitz" manages to slip through the grasp of Tom every time, and with the precious lives of his colleagues diminishing one by one, Tom is led to the question: if we can't protect our own, then what good are we?
My Review: Finally got time to watch a few movies today, before the big matches kicks of in the eurocup today! :)
Well, lets just start of by saying its always fun to watch Mr. Statham in a good action movie. And this time in a british movie. Havent seen much british movies with him. So that was a bit different.
Mr.Statham plays a 'dirty' kinda cop. On the hunt for a cop killer. In lets just say his methods isnt always by the books. Wich makes it more interesting. Its a good action flick. But a bit slow at times. And some of the acting in the movie, was at the top either. Statham did a good part i think. (looks like he could do it in his sleep) It was a bit different movie then i thought. But an enjoyable movie.
A movie that i recommend for those who like a good action flick.

WWE: You Think You Know Me? The Story Of Edge (2012)
Story: YOU THINK YOU KNOW HIM?
You know him as the infamous and ruthless Rated R Superstar, The Ultimate Opportunist - EDGE. But in You Think You Know Me? The Story of EDGE, uncover the struggles and triumphs behind his rise to glory. Friends, rivals, and the man himself reflect on his life, from his days as a kid who dreamed of overcoming the odds to pursue a career in sports entertainment, to his explosive presence in WWE; from his revolutionary tag-team reign with CHRISTIAN, to his extraordinary runs as 7-time World Heavyweight Champion and 4-time WWE Champion, and finally to his shocking retirement after WrestleMania XXVII.
PACKED WITH THRILLING MATCHES FROM HIS ENTIRE CAREER. INCLUDING:
• A NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN 1995 MATCH FROM EDGE'S PRE-WWE CAREER FEATURING HIS ALTER EGO, ADAM IMPACT VS. CHRISTIAN CAGE
• BOUTS FOR THE WWE AND WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPS, INCLUDING A TABLES, LADDERS & CHAIRS MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP VS. JOHN CENA, HIS UNFORGETTABLE TAG TEAM MATCHES AGAINST THE HARDY BOYZ, HIS WRESTLEMANIA XXIV WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH AGAINST UNDERTAKER, AND THE FINAL MATCH OF HIS CAREER AGAINST ALBERTO DEL RIO AT WRESTLEMANIA XXVII.
• EDGE'S HAND-SELECTED FAVORITE MATCHES INCLUDING BATTLES WITH RANDY ORTON, SHAWN MICHAELS, EDDIE GUERRERO, TAG-TEAM ACTION WITH CHRISTIAN, AND MORE!
Review: Well, Edge was one of the greatest wrestlers of all times. Over 11 world championships! At his young age. And trough out his career he was of the most hated guys in the ring. (one of the best heels ever in the wwe) And he had some of the greatest rivalries and some of the greatest matches in wwe history. And WWE have given out a dvd a couple of years ago, with Edge. But that was only his matches. But with this dvd/bluray. It takes us behind the scenes, to see how Adam is. (and not only the character) And there is alot of great stuff on this bluray set. Never before seen footage, exclusive interviews from his peers in the wrestling world. Not only WWE. And there is a interview with Lita, and Christian (his bestfriend.) and Lita as his former girlfriend. Was nice to see. And they how it all started for him. And to the point, were he had to retire do to injuries. And they have his greatest and most epic matches too on this disc set.
For me, this one of the best. (If not the best) dvdset on a wwe superstar ever made. And even if you didnt like his character. This is a MUST HAVE for every WWE fans out there! Just epic. IMO

This 2 disc set is packed with new, exclusive interviews, unique behind-the-scenes access, and a collection of Orton's greatest career-spanning matches.
Review: Well, one more epic bluray\dvdset documentary by one of WWE'S biggest stars. And one of the best\biggest heels ever in the WWE history! I've been a fan of Randy Orton for a very long time. Beacuse of many reasons. He's skills in the ring, he's mic skills etc. He's just one of the best in WWE right now. Despite his young age, he's an 9 time world champion all ready. And he's is one of the top stars in WWE right now. One of the most used guys. He's kinda carrying the shows now. And if he keep out of trouble. Then he can be whaterver he wants to be. He can go as far as he wants to. When it comes to the ability in the ring etc. He got it all. But Randy's been known to make a lot of trouble in his past. Something that has been following him trough out his career. He's been suspended a few times. But in the later years, he's started to get it together. And with this dvdset it takes you behind the scenes, you will hear from his coworkers, about how far he's comed. How it was to work with the old Randy, who always got in trouble. And didnt care about anyone else than himself. And ofc we'll hear from Randy himself, why he did what he did. And why he decided to change, and turn his 'life' around. And we get an interview from his Wife too. (Samantha) To hear it from her perspective. How it is to be married to Randy, and his new life \ old life etc. I found myself to enjoy this dvdset a lot! Very interesting stuff is coming out here. That you would never belive.
And the match packs on this dvd/bluray is just awesome and epic aswell!
This one too, is a must have for any WWE fans out there! :)

The Descendants (2011)
Plot\Story: From the celebrated director of Sideways (Alexander Payne) comes a wonderfully warm and witty film that Rolling Stone calls "damn near perfect." Academy Award® Winner George Clooney* "leads the ensemble cast of the year" (Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune).
Experience a bittersweet drama about a detached father's attempt to reconnect with his two daughters and their often-hilarious quest for the truth in this "moving, enlightening, funny and unapologetically human" film (Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine).
*Supporting Actor, Syriana, 2005
My Review: Its no secret that i am a big fan of George Clooney's work. So this one, was one of the movies i was looking most forward to watch this year. All the talk about how great it was, how Clooneys performance was legendary. I just have to say (i couldnt keep my expectations down. Again!) I think its a weakness i got . But the story in the movie was real strong, and i liked that a great deal too. And the movie itself was just a masterpiece..WOW.. And i am a very big fan of George Clooney's work.. And man did he deliver! I would say its one of his best performances of all time. I would agree that its legendary.. How i didnt win the Oscar for best lead.. Well, i just have to watch "The Artist" to find out. A strong movie, but a good movie. With a clear message. And there was some fun scenes in it too. This is a movie EVERYONE should watch IMO.

And i've seen a few dvds from them. Some of the dvd's been documentary, and some have been just conserts. And this one is from a special consert in France. The first one they did in Blu-Ray.. And the songs are a good mix from good old songs, and some of the Death Magnetic album. (Wich was new at the time) And the show they made, and how the audience was in the whole show. This is by far the BEST concert bluray\dvd i've ever seen. No matter wich band i've seen. And this one is a must have for you music fans out there. And if you are a fan of rock, and Metallica.

Platoon (Blu-Ray) 1986
Plot/Story: Chris Taylor is a young, naive American who gives up college and volunteers for combat in Vietnam. Upon arrival, he quickly discovers that his presence is quite nonessential, and is considered insignificant to the other soldiers, as he has not fought for as long as the rest of them and felt the effects of combat. Chris has two non-commissioned officers, the ill-tempered and indestructible Staff Sergeant Robert Barnes and the more pleasant and cooperative Sergeant Elias Grodin. A line is drawn between the two NCOs and a number of men in the platoon when an illegal killing occurs during a village raid. As the war continues, Chris himself draws towards psychological meltdown. And as he struggles for survival, he soon realizes he is fighting two battles, the conflict with the enemy and the conflict between the men within his platoon.
My Review: Oh well, you know. I'm quite a big war fan. And there was something about this movie when i was young. I heard alot about that, but wasnt aloud to watch it. But when i finally was aloud to watch it. Man o man. It was a strong movie then, beacuse of lot of reason. But in the later days when i watched again, i understood much more about the movie. And its based on a true story aswell, And its a very strong movie indeed. One of my alltime favourite movies ever! And Charlie Sheen was just awesome in the movie. And after i got the blu-ray version, its so much better IMO then the dvd version. The sound, the image etc. For those who like war movies, this is ofc a must have. And for you guys that are in to bluray\hd. You should get the blu-ray version! I think this might be Oliver Stone's best movie ever made. I can watch it over and over again.

1408: Director's Cut (Blu-Ray) 2007
Plot/Story: The cynical and skeptical writer Mike Enslin writes books evaluating supernatural phenomena in hotels, graveyards and other haunted places, usually debunking the mystery. While writing his last book, he travels from Los Angeles to New York to spend one night in the evil room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel, which is permanently unavailable for guests. The reluctant manager Mr. Gerald Olin objects to his request and offers an upgrade, expensive booze and finally the reports relating the death of more than fifty guests along decades in the cursed room. However, Mike threatens Mr. Oiln, promising to sue the hotel, and finally checks in the room. Along the night, he finds that guests of room 1408 can check in when they like, but they can never leave the room alive
My Review: Wow. Going in to this movie, i didnt have any expectations at all. Heard alot of good stuff about it, but didnt know what to think. It starts off a bit slow IMO. But it picked up just great. Interesting story to the movie. Wich i enjoyed. A bit different from the other horror movies. (wich is always good imo) And the movie have a bit of twist and turns too, its just not straight ahead - finished. It happens a few things trough the movie that makes you have to keep close attention trough out the movie. I liked how they did the story. I just hoped we would see a bit more of Samuel L Jackson. But on the other hand, Mr. Cusack was just great in this movie! A bit different horror movie that i highly reccomand! :)

My Review: I was very interested to watch this movie for a few reasons. Richard Gere in a thriller\suspence? Well, that was a first for me. So that was fun to watch. And the trailer looked very good too. And i know the movie is listed as a thriller, but i would say it is a good mix between a thriller and a suspence movie. And the movie had me interested trough out the whole thing. There was alot of twists in the movie, that i never saw coming. Wich helped alot. Not the typical CIA\FBI movie IMO. The plot\story was quite interesting too. All in all a real good movie that i enjoyed trough out the movie. And it is a movie i would recommand you guys to take a look at. And Richard Gere did a good part aswell.

Plot/Story: One day in the life of Anders, a young recovering drug addict, who takes a brief leave from his treatment center to interview for a job and catch up with old friends in Oslo.
My Review: This is supposed to be a BIG norwegian movie, that has been hyped up a quite a bit. The best movie of the year etc. With a strong story etc. And i will have to agree with the story, it was a strong story. But that the movie is\was one of the biggest of the year i dont agree with. Despite liking the story\plot. They failed a bit IMO. The lead actor didnt do a good part at all. You could see he wasnt used to be in front of the camera. And you could see it on the whole guy that he was "reading" his lines from a manus. (no good) And the movie was waay to slow for me. Wich made the story and movie not that beliveble for me. It was a movie that had great potential for me, but they blew it in to many places for me to enjoy it. (sorry)

A quick detour leads them to Jon's cabin deep in the woods, where his wife Lea (LUCINDA JENNEY - THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, G.I. JANE) quickly captivates Mara and convinces her to spend the night. However, Mara's world soon becomes a harrowing nightmare as Jon and Lea reveal their true colours and the night unfolds into a shocking and spine-chilling sequences of horrors with a climax that will leave your nerves stripped bare...
My Review: Holy smokes! What to say about this one? I got a few of those 'After Dark' movies. Some of them are real good, and i saw this one in one of their trailers and looked like a good horror movie. Not a very bloody saw horror movie. But like a psychological one. And wow, i dont know what to say really. It suprised me in any way possible actually. For a "small" movie, they did a lot out of the movie. I guess for a horror movie they it did it part good. Some of the scenes in the movie was very sick and just too out there (IMO) And a bit too sick for my taste. But other then those scenes that they maby shouldnt have shown. It was a good horror movie all in all. The story started of interesting. And it kept me in trough out the movie. But i didnt like the ending of the movie very good. But i guess for a horror movie, it was well done i guess. For the people out there wondering if you wanna watch it or not. Well, if you are a real hardcore horror fan, why not give it a shot. If not. I wouldnt reccomand it!

My Review: When i first saw the trailer for this movie, i was looking forward to watch it. Looked like an awesome movie. And with big names like Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas and Ewan McGregor it ofc had the potential to be great. It started of good. But for me it was a bit too much back and forth in time for my taste. I would say the movie is a mix between a spy movie and a Jason Bourne wannabe movie. The story was interesting enough, but it was shifting between going back in time and what happend for a long time ago, and suddenly switch to the present. Can be confusing at times. And with both Banderas AND Douglas i think they could have done alot better. Both Douglas and Banderas had real small parts in the movie. Something i think was a mistake. All in all, an ok movie. But a movie they could have done alot better with. If your not sure if you want to watch it or not. Check out the trailer, and if it looks ok. Give it a try.

Wishlisted it after I watched the trailer, but since then a lot of mediocre reviews came in, so it's currently shortly before dropping out again.
I wouldnt pay full price for it. But if you find it real cheap somewhere on sale. Not a movie worth paying full price for imo.

My Review: Well, this was a very interesting movie to say the least! And with a interesting plot\storyline aswell. I enjoyed the movie from almost start to finish. Was a few interesting twists in the movie, wich i appreciated. And the movie kept me in my seat for the whole thing, you didnt know what would happend next kinda. And it was nice that they didnt reveal who was behind everything before the end aswell. In some horror movies you know who the bad guy is before 20 mins. Wasnt like that at all here. And the acting was 'ok' aswell. Could been better, but i didnt complain. Only thing i hope with how the movie ended is that there will be a movie number 2. If not i will be rather disappointed with how it all ended. It gotta come a number 2 sometime i hope. All in all a very good horror movie (IMO) wich i reccomand you to watch.

My Review: Well, lets just start of by saying that the picture quality and sound quality was just amazing in this movie. Great job well done! And for the movie itself, i enjoyed it quite a bit. The story was ok, nothing too original. Nothing that havent been shown in a horror movie before. But they did a good job with what they had i think. A lot of 'good' gore scenes (as the movie is about) Its not along movie, it lasts for about 1hour and 15 minutes, so i think they do a good job in that short period of time. A few scary parts, and a few suprises in the movie aswell. Cant complain about that. But the things i didnt like was how the movie ended. And there was a few parts they should have used more time to tell the story. But all in all, i enjoyed it. A good horror movie. Wich i recommand for the horror fans out there. As i said nothing a very original story. But i guess in horror almost everything is done by now so. =)

My Review: Well, let me just say this.. One of the best movies i've seen by Robert De Niro in a long time! Its a dark movie, with a perfect De Niro in the lead role..He plays the maniac and the sick and twisted person to a perfect.. How he didnt win an Oscar for that.. I dunno. But yeah, i recommand this movie for anyone that like horror\thrillers or Robert De Niro! It was a very good movie! I havent seen the original movie yet. The one from 1962?

My Review: This movie was a movie i was looking forward to watch. And it was just a real good movie, with both a very interesting and strong story. I've heard about Margaret Thacther and how she was as a primeminister in the UK. But thats it, so it was very nice and interesting to see how she became the primeminister and how she was as an primeminister. A strong story indeed wich i am glad i watched. But there was alot of time jumps in the movie, wich i didnt like that much. I think they could do without the time jumps in this movie. (but thats me) And i have to just say a quick word about Mery Streep in this movie. WOW what a part she did, very well deserved oscar win IMO. One of her best roles that i've seen anyways. An important movie i would say. I recommand you guys to watch this one.

My Review: Well, dunno what to say about this one, just saw this one for the second time with some friends., Well i am still a little dissapointed about it ;) beacuse i've heard so much about Christian Bale's part, and the movie etc. Its a very special movie, and a very sick\weird movie.. He did an ok part, and the movie was about him, and his sick and twisted life, and i liked it somewhat, but its not the best thriller\horror i've seen. But its ok for a weekend movie or something. For you guys wondering if you gona watch it or not, sure.. Why not? Give it a shot! But i will just say this, its not a movie for everybody =)
Its been very quiet on the movie front lately. Since i'm on a vacations with some friends and family members, its not alot of movie watching. But since the weather has been so shitty latey, we've rewatched a few movies. I will post a review about the others soon too i hope.

My Review: This movie was very hard for me to get, and i had very high expectations for it. For what i've seen from the trailer, it looked f'n good! And Sir Anthony Hopkins is prolly one of my favourite actors, just solid tru' and tru'. Specially loved his work in the Hannibal series! But, over to the movie in hand. It was a good and solid movie, suspence from beginning to the end, and i think personally Sir Hopkins did a solid part (as always) as the main caracter as a ultra bad guy.. Its not one of those movies that you know the end 20mins in the movie, there are a few twists and turns, and the end kinda "shocked" me a little, and tho so typical! And for those who like Drama\Suspence etc, i reccomand you guys to watch this one! :D

My Review:
Well, let me just start of by saying HOLY SMOKES! It is an Norwegian horror movie. With some big names in the leads. Wich was nice to see, they did a great job IMHO. But the movie itself was kinda weird, and a very different movie. You gotta keep paying attention trough out the whole movie, or you will miss something vital. A movie with a lot of twists that i never saw coming. (And even though i like different movies, this was a bit too weird for me) It was a interesting story, and the actors did a good job i think. But how the movie played out, and how the whole thing ended. I have more quastions then answers really. Didnt get much of it. But for the scandies out there, if you think the trailer looked interesting, and you like a bit weird or out there movies. Check it out.

I loved alot about this movie, and how they made the booklet edition. Loved the booklet, just awesome imo! I like how they have done that with few of their movies. Nice touch. And for the movie, i've heard alot of great things about it. And first of all, the picture quality and the sound quality was just great. Great job getting it over to the blu-ray. And the movie itself was great too, a different kind of mobster\gangster movie i would say. A movie that i really enjoyed from the start to the finish, love how they did things with it. And the actors did a great job in the movie too! And i actually loved how they ended the movie. Just great. All in all, a movie everyone should watch!
And if your in to HD\Blu-Ray, you should watch in HD. A masterpiece.

My Review:
Finally i got around to watch this one, was a movie i was looking forward to watch. Was cool to see RR and DW play against each other. A very good movie i think, a typical movie about politics and CIA etc. The movie reminded me alot about the Jason Bourne series. But the movie had my attention trough out the whole thing. Wich is always a good thing. And i think both RR and DW did a good job in the movie. The story though isnt something original, something that have been shown alot before. But a good movie, that i would recommand, and that kept me entertaint trough out.

Well, its not much to say about Rambo really, that hasnt been said before. Everyone have seen and heard about Rambo! But it was yeeears ago since i last watched the Rambo series. And i enjoyed this one very well. It was cool to see the transfer to Blu-Ray, i think they did a good job with it tho. The sound and picture qualtiy was ok. Wasnt the best transfer i've seen, but atleast not the worst. I was kinda suprised. And for the movie itself, i enjoyed it a great deal. Didnt remember much of it (witch was a good thing) And allright story behind it. And it had me glued to the tv.
A movie that people who are in to HD\BR should rewatch in HD. I'm looking forward to getting around to watch the rest of the series. Highly recommanded on Blu-Ray!

I just watched this last night, before i went to bed. So did have any time to write a review yesterday.
But for me Varg Veum is prolly my favourite Norwegian filmseries by all times. And this one didnt dissapoint either, even the story was something that have been used before. But it was nice to see some of the big actors in Norway in this movie. Did a good job imo. And the filmseries is going to an end, i think this is one of the last movies in the series. So for me this a job very well done. (the filmseries is maby from the novels by Gunnar Staalesen) Just a perfect filmseries for the Norwegians out there! :)

The second movie of the series. I dont even remember if i've seen this before. It had to be AGES ago. Beacuse i didnt remember anything. (Wich is always a good thing i think.) And i have to say that they have done a better job this time around with the picture and sound quality. Just great. And for the movie itself, i enjoyed it from start to finish. A great story i think, and i like how much they did with he movie. And Rambo is Rambo. (we know he will survive almost everything?) Even though, great fun. It got my attention trough out the movie. From the 2 Rambo movies i've seen so far. This one is the best so far. Looking forward to watchin the last 2 movies in the series. Hopefully soon.

My Review:
This movie i rememberd i've seen before. But along time ago (and not on blu-ray) so they did a great job on this one aswell, to transfer it over to blu-ray. I saw a big difference anyways. When it comes to the movie itself i liked this one too. A bit different story this time around, not the "usual" Rambo plot\storyline IMO. But it worked. It still had me glued to the tv trough out the movie. A movie i would recommand aswell as the other Rambo movies. Now i just got the last one to watch, hopefully tomorrow perheps. That one i havent seen yet, so i'm real interested to see what they do with that one. And for you guys that are thinking about if you should get the Rambo series on blu-ray. I think you absolutely should! But thats me So far the three movies i've seen is very good! And i could watch them again, no problem! :D

Title: Queen Rock Montreal & Live Aid
Year: 1981
Director: Saul Swimmer
Rating: NR
Length: 138 Min.

Plot:
Queen Rock Montreal, recorded live at Montreal's 18,000 seater Forum over two nights in November 1981, is a celebration of Queen at the very height of their 80's record breaking achievements. It is also a historic recording of the very last concerts of Queen 'raw'.
This was the time when Queen had topped both the US singles and album charts for the first time, had become the first band ever to top the UK singles, albums and video charts simultaneously and on their historic invasion of Latin America had broken the world attendance record for a single paying concert when 131,000 Brazilians saw the band play Sao Paulo's Morumbi stadium. 1981 was, says John Deacon, "a year for discovering new audiences we didn't know existed."
Queen ended that year of extraordinary events at Montreal''s Forum. The dates - November 24 and 25, 1981 - were scheduled specifically to make a full length film of their show. As would be expected of Queen, they took the form of the concert film to a new level, becoming the first group to shoot an entire show in full cinema format 35mm.
Having spent almost two years non-stop touring, and invigorated their triumphant Latin America experience, Queen hit Montreal in top form.
This is the pre 'Hot Space' album, before keyboards would find a place in the band''s touring line up; just four God-gifted musicians in total rapport, delivering live the energy and innovation of their studio recordings.
Originally titled WE WILL ROCK YOU, this film was released in North America in 1984 becoming the first commercially available film of Queen in concert. In this special edition, the 35mm negative was scanned to ensure the highest possible resolution, this was the examined frame by frame where any splices, dirt or damage were removes to enhance the sharpness and quality of the pcture. The sound was newly mixed and remastered for DTS Surround Sound and PCM Stereo from the Original multitrack tapes. 25 tracks and 96 minutes of Queen in peak form.

My Review:
Ah, let me just start of by saying that music is very important to me. I need good music to get trough the days (as a good movie) and many of the great bands are finally getting their shows out on blu-ray. And not only dvds. And Queen is one of the biggest and greatest bands thats been there. Shame Freddie Mercury died so much to early. But, when it comes to this blu-ray here.. Let me just say that the concert in it self is just perfect. What a show they make on the stage. (thinking about its a really long time ago) and the songs too.. Just perfect IMO. I would give this set a perfect score, if it wasnt for the bonus footage. I hoped and thought it would be a bit more. But it wasnt. So it will get almost a perfect score.

My Review:
Well, i got a few things to say about this movie. First of all i was very interested to see how they pulled it off, since it was about 20 years since the last Rambo movie was made. And ofc Rambo is alot older, and you can see that on him. He isnt the Rambo he once was. It was a good movie, dont get me wrong, but for me the movie was a bit slow at times, and i didnt have the "Rambo feeling" about the movie everywhere. And the plot\story was interesting aswell. But they could have done a bit more i think. But still a good movie. I checked on IMDB, and from the looks of it, it might be a Rambo 5! I dont know what i think about that tho. But this one was good after all this year after all. And its kinda a must watch if you have first the 3 first Rambo movies.

I have never seen parts 2 and 3 (no intent on changing that either), but I stzill thought part 4 went very well as companion to the original First Blood. And even while he was also having some message in there I enjoyed it mainly for the popcorn flick it was. Few horror movies have more gore :laugh:
Hehe, i gotcha. Even though i thought the part 2 was\is the best movie in the Rambo series. And as said, the last movie so far was good. But for me i think the 4th movie is enough. But we'll see how they will do it, IF they make a movie number 5.. Dont forget that Stallone is starting to get old. (too old for a new Rambo?)
Post by: Achim on August 03, 2012, 06:09:20 PM
Dont forget that Stallone is starting to get old. (too old for a new Rambo?)It clearly shows in the pictures for The Expendables 2 (which I definitely want to see). In the movies he makes it starts to get a bit silly, but I like it when it is done like in RED, have you seen that?

My Review:
Hm, i dont know what to say about this one really. I really had my highs up on this one. But for me it was a bit weird movie, a good mix between comedy and action. And it was nice to see 'all' those big names together, and the story was ok aswell. But with those names in the movie, i think they could have done alot better. But all in all, an ok movie. But i thought they would do alot more with it.

With this kind of a film it is always hard to balance expectations. On the other hands, the filmmakers might feel they already have all the aces so there may be no need to invest in story, etc. I'd have to see it again, but I think it was more fun to watch for all the old-timers getting at it than for a compelling story.

It stars Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman and William H. Macy. A great ensemble cast. It isn't an action film but a great quirky drama with great bits of humor. Morgan Freeman is excellent in this, as are Christopher Walken and William H. Macy. Two other great actors.

My Review:
Well, a movie i was very interested to watch. Beacuse of the first one. Didnt really know what to expect, but i liked the trailer, and i have heard good things about it aswell. So, i have to say that the movie didnt disappoint me at all. I really enjoyed actually. The story was good, and Nic Cage did his part good IMO. (was good to see Cage as Johnny Blaze and Ghost Rider again.) And i just have to say a few words about the makeup and the visual efects in this movie. Personally i think they did one heck of a job. Just awesome IMO. And for those who doesnt know if they want to watch this or not, but liked the first one. I personally highly recommand it to give it a try.
And down the line, i think i will buy this one in 3D. It looked like it would be a great movie in 3D!
For those who has seen it in 3D, what you think?
And Pete, i think you will like this one! ;)
Imo, you got something to look forward too. But if you dont remember much from the first one. I would watch that one aswell :)

This one i was really looking forward to watch. Liked the trailer for the movie, and it was fun to see Matt Damon in a family movie, instead of all the action movies he does. It was interesting actually. The movie itself i really enjoyed. It was a real cute and kinda sad story\plot. The movie was a bit different than i thought it would be, but it was a warm movie i would say. And i think both Scarlett Johansen and Matt Damon did a great job as the leads. A movie for the whole family, that i highly recommand for everyone. :)

My Review:
Oh wow.. Let me start of by saying that i've seen a few exorcism movies trough out. And many of them are good, and some just suck. Some is very beliveble, and some is just way too out there! And many of the movies are based on true events etc.. But this one was a bit different IMO, the whole movie was shot as an documentary, only using a handheld camera trough out the movie. Wich made me get the "Real" feeling for the movie. The story is the same ofc as the other exorcism movies. But this one was made in a very good way, and it had a few twists in the movie aswell. (wich is never a bad thing) And some of the things they did with so little just impressed me. Its one of my favourite exorcism movies, up there with 'The Rite' . A real good horror movie that i recommand for you horror lovers out there! Had me glued to the tv for the whole 1.25hrs about :D

My Review:
Finally i had some time to get around to watch this one. (something i was looking forward to) I never know what to expect when a sequal comes so many years after the original. But i really enjoyed the first and original Wall Street. It started of ok, a bit older MD then the first movie. But for me the movie was a bit slow at times, and the i didnt like the story\plot in the movie as much as i did in the first movie. I thought the movie would be much more abut Gordon Gekko and his way back to Wall Street. But it wasnt much about him at all, some here and some there. He had much more screentime in the end of the movie, wich was disappointing for me. Personally i think they could have done a bit more with the movie, and give Mr.Gekko a much bigger part IMO. Even though it looks like Mr.Gekko is a changed man, he is still up to his old tricks etc. It was an ok movie, wich lasted for 2hrs and 13 movies. A bit to long imo. But and ok movie. A kinda gotta watch, if you liked the first one.

This is a big movie in Norway i should say, the media gave it perfect all over etc. And it even got 5 Amanda nominations (The Amanda Awards is the Norwegian answer to the Oscars) wich will be live today on tv. So i was very interested in if the movie was as good as said. And on some parts i have to agree, like the story of the movie. I have to agree that it was a strong and important behind it. I got their message. And the lead actor (Kristoffer Joner) is nominated for the best male lead actor for his role in the movie. I will agree aswell, one of the best parts i've seen him in. But there was a few things i didnt like about the movie, f.ex time jumps. It starts in 2012, and suddenly your back in 1985 etc. Not to big of a fan of that. But a good movie, that i enjoyed and a movie that i think the Norwegian people should watch! A movie that i recommand. :)

A movie that i havent seen in yeears. But a movie i have wanted to watch now for a while, a finally i got around to it. I didnt remember much of the movie at all. A good ol' fashion action movie, wich i truly enjoyed trough out the whole thing. It was good to see Nic Cage as a action hero again. As he was back in the day. The movie had me glued to the tv, and the story was good aswell. And i really liked the part of Nic Cage here. (Not always i do that) Just a very good old fashion action movie between Jerry Bruckheimer and Nic Cage, and they all made it work really good. And i liked the blu-ray version very good. A movie that i recommand all to watch. (for those who hasnt yet)

Hehe :D (i just have to say on a personal note, that i like the old parts of Nic Cage better, than some of his parts he does now)No disagreement here.
Not only has he become a caricature of himself, there seems to be no bounds for his overacting these days, except on a few rare occasions (e.g. Kick-Ass).

Face\Off,
:o
In Face/Off he was only bearable as Castor Troy, when he played Sean Archer (with the face of Castor) he was already overacting as hell.
Face/Off was a safe 4.5/5 for me but lost 2 points for the performance of Mr. Cage. Loved him in Lord of War, Matchstick Men and 8MM

I didn't mind him in Face/Off, I just figured his character is a complete lunatic... The best Hollywood movie by John Woo, which isn't really saying much, but I mean it. For me face/Off always seemed like the only film where he could do what he wants. Maybe also in Windtalkers (hmmmm, Cage again, but actually quite calm there), but that wasn't very good.
Really .. i the John Woo stuff that I have seen .. 1996 "Broken Arrow", 1997 "Face/Off", 2001 "Windtalkers" and 2003 "Paycheck" although with Paycheck i have to admit almost anyone would be better than Ben Affleck :). Not rocket science but really adventure/action films really seldom are. Just a fun watch

My Review:
Well, this a movie that i didnt even know was in the Hannibal series, before a few years ago! When a friend of mine asked me if i've seen this one before. And i didnt know about it, since its so many years before the other movies. And i havent read the books or anything. And for the movie i really enjoyed it, from start to finish. It was nice to see Will Petersen in something else than "Gil Grissom" I really enjoyed his part in this. What i didnt like with the movie however was that Sir Anthony Hopkins wasnt in it. Something i was hoping for, since he is in the other movies i mean. I dont know if it is a reason since they did that, that way. But other then that, a real good movie, with a interesting story. And a good horror movie! And i recommand this one for all the horror lovers\Hannibal lovers, that havent seen this one yet.

And Michael Mann did a great job directing. And of course any film that the last 18 minutes is to the long version of In-a-Gadda-da-Vida can't be bad .. crashing through the window at the crescendo was a very good bit .. Oh my

This is indeed a great film. I have this in the first VHS .. William Peterson was great in this. Of course Anthony Hopkins probably wasn't even a SIR when this was made :) It was the first "Hannibal the Cannibal" film made.Anthony Hopkins is not in thisw one ;) Hannibal Lector is played by Brioan Cox, if memory serves. Some people seem toeven prefer his interpretation of Lecter over Hopkins'.

You are totally correct my friend, It was Brian Cox who played HL in Manhunter. Wich i didnt like, beacuse AH plays HL in the rest of the movies. I dont know if it is a reason why did it this way or not. But i think he should have been there anyways :)

Now this is a bit like dismissing Nosferatu (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0013442/) (1922) because the vampire was played by Max Schreck and not by Robert Pattinson, isn't it?

Just one thing to say really. And thats PERFECT! Its the first time i rewatch it in the extended blu-ray version. Just wow, what they have to done with it. The amazing picture quality and the amazing sound! Just perfect! And for the movie itself, its just so good, from the beautiful scenery, from the story. And let not forget the amazin special efects they have in their movies. Everything is just so perfectly done and very well thought trough. I just love it. But the extended movies last about 4 hours, so its a long time for a movie. But well worth it IMO. I thought it was one time to rewatch them now, since the Hobbit are coming to the theaters in a while. And its ofc recommanded on the highest for everyone to watch the LOTR!
So now the quastion is, shall i start on the number 2? hehe ;)

Its amazing what they have been able to make really. The sceenery, the special efects. The editing, the filming. The acting, and the story. Just wow! But 4 hours is 4 hours. Its not just a movie that i put on when i want to see a movie, since its lasting so long. But its well worth my 4 hours, when i finally did it. I havent seen the 3 yet i think. So i'm looking forward to that. Maby i'll get around to that one tomorrow or this week maby :)

I didnt have any excpectations going in to this movie at all. I saw the trailer way back, and i liked the trailer. And the movie itself is an good ol' action movie. The storyline\plot is interesting aswell. A girl with only one thing on her mind. Revenge, nothing i havent seen before, but i actually enjoyed what they did with the movie. It had me glued to the tv for the 1.40hrs it lasted. And allright action movie, with no so many twist unfortunatly. But still a movie that i really enjoyed. And i would recommand it :)
And some of the acting was actullay not too bad either. And thats always a plus. As i said before, a good ol' action movie that you should check out. :)
I think this is the last movie i'm going to watch, before i leave on a 1 week vacation on Monday! :D

My Review:
Well, with both Jason Statham and Robert De Niro in the leads (i tought) it had to be a great action movie. I mean Mr.Statham is himself in all his movies, an action hero.. The movie is based on a true story, wich made the movie more interesting. The movie was a bit different then i expected it to be, it was a bit much military for me taste (for a actionflick) but i enjoyed anyways.. But there is a few things i would like to see more of in this movie was f.ex Robert De Niro get some more screentime, he didnt have a big part in the movie as far as the screentime goes. I wish he would be more on. And the story catched me in a good way. But you kinda knew how the movie would end, before it ended. But take those things away, it was a good movie. With some good parts here and there. A movie that i recommand you guys to watch. But i would not call it a "regual action flick" but a mix between that and a military\war movie. Interesting enough :)

My Review:
Well, going in to this movie i had no expectations at all. Hadnt heard much about this movie at all. Didnt know what to think or expect. But i was very suprised by it, in a very positive way! It was nice to see Robert De Niro almost back as the "oldschool De Niro" but just almost. Something in between i would say. But i really liked him in this movie. I think he did a great part. So did the others in this movie. (IMO) The story was very interesting i think, and you didnt know half trough the movie how it would. Wich is always a good thing! You had to pay attention trough out. A lot of car chases, gun shootings.. A really good oldschool action flick i would say. A movie that i recommand you guys to check out, if you havent done it yet. And the movie is from the late 90's. And the blu-ray version have amazing sound and picture quality on it. They did a great job there. But they could have done more with the extras if you ask me. But yeah, a really good movie IMO :)

My Review:
Well, i dont know what to say really. I heard alot of great stuff about the movie. And i really liked the trailer (not that the trailers counts.) But i tried to keep my expactations down. Anyways, about the movie. I actually enjoyed it alot. It kept my interest trough-out the movie. And i really liked the story aswell, was really interesting to see how far people are willing to go, to either prove a point or to catch other people who they think are keeping secrets from them. All in all, i liked the movie. A bit slow at times, but i liked the parts of Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore, did a great job IMO. And a nice twist near the end of the movie aswell. Wich is always a good thing IMO. And a movie i would recommand you guys to check out.
Not a movie you should watch with your kids tho. :)

My Review:
As i've said before, when i've reviewed other Varg Veum movies, (its one of the best movieseries made in Norway. If not the best) Its a crime\drama movie series, about Varg Veum (a private detective, who makes his living by solving those cases, no one else wants. And he lives a bit on the edge with both the law. And others) Its a movie series maby of by the books of Gunnar Staalesen! And in every movie its ofc a new case, with some twists here and there. Its been made 12 movies in the series, and this was the last and final movie in the series (so, they says anyways) I've really enjoyed the movieseries. One of my favourites. What they have done with 'so little' if i can say that is just amazing. And the main character played by Trond Espen Seim has done amazing things with the movie series. Really good quality if you ask me. Solid movies here.. For all the Norwegians out there, i highly recommand Varg Veum, for the people who hasnt checked it out yet! Sad to see it finished. But 12 really good movies! :)
My Rating:
5/6
I will give the total 12 movies a solid 5/6. :)

My Review:
Well, it looked like an interesting movie. A few ok actors in it aswell, and Dave Bautista had the lead role in the movie. (he's a former WWE superstar. And since i'm a big fan of WWE, it got my attention.) But what can i say about this 'action flick' as they called it. Well, It started of ok, but it went downhill very quick. The storyline wasnt interesting enough for me, its been a million times before. And they didnt pull it off. The movie was very slow aswell, and you kinda knew after 15minutes in the movie who was the real bad guy in the movie. (boring) And i hoped with all the known actors they would do something good with it. And i hoped Batista would impress me too, but for me they dropped the ball on this one!
For me, i didnt enjoy this. And i wouldnt recommand to watch it either. (Sorry)

My Review:
Yeah, well.. Didnt know what i was expect going in to this movie, heard a bit different things about it. Both that Mr.Cage did a great job as the lead, and that he did a bad job as the lead. Boring movie, great movie. Perfect! So my expectations was at a 0 this time. I wanted to see this movie beacuse different reasons, one of them is that i am a big fan of the oldschool Nic Cage. Hoped i would see him in this one, but not really. But the movie in itself was quite nice actually. A good mix between suspence and thriller IMO. The story was interesting for me aswell. And they had you guessing trough-out the movie, and there was a few twists in the movie (wich i always like!) The movie was slow at times, but it moved kinda steady too. (if steady is a word) And i have to say that i liked Nic Cage in the lead, i think he did a good job. And i think January Jones did a good job aswell. And it was nice to see Jennifer Carpenter (even tho she had a tiny role in this one)
A movie that i would recommand for almost everyone! I could find myself watching it again :D

Plot:
Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

My Review:
Well, going in to this movie i didnt really know what to think or expect. And i am not a fan of dancing movies at all! But when it comes to this movie. I've heard so much about it, how great it is and how much more it is then just ballet. And its been alot of fuzz about the movie, beacuse of the much talked about love scene between Nat Portman and Mila Kunis. And the people i've spoken to just loved Nat Portman in the movie. And going in to the movie i was a bit sceptical about it. But i got positivly suprised by the movie. Even though its a movie about ballet, its so much more. In the movie we are following a girls dream to go to the top, and how she's willing to pay for it. I liked the story of the movie. Its a strong movie in many ways. And the Natalie Portmans role, wow.. The Oscar she got for it, very well deserved! (IMO) And i gotta admit, both Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis is very hot! ;)
Its a movie i recommand you guys to check out! Even though you dont like dance movies. (i dont like dance movies) and i liked this one alot.
And you would never get me to watch Dirty Dancing or Billy Elliot f.ex

4.5/6

And you would never get me to watch Dirty Dancing or Ghost f.ex
To put "Ghost" in a row with "Dirty Dancing" is a bit like comparing "Pulp Fiction" to "Battlefield Earth".
Ghost is definitely no Dance-flick, one might discuss if it's worth seeing though.

You are right about this movie though. It is great. A strong recommend on my part. And Barbara Hershey was brilliant.
I do like Natalie Portman, but in this film I think it is a combination of all the player that make it so stunning. Not bad direction and filming also :)

You know .. you keep talking about it being a dance movie .. to me this film was more about an obsessive girl who through pressure (internal as well as external) tumbles completely into a level of madness. It could have been any profession the requires near perfection and any body who was damaged. It isn't "Dirty Dancing" :-)
But that is just me .. maybe we are saying the same thing with different words.
We do agree on it being a great movie.
I totally agree with you on that! And the reason i call it for a "dance movie" is that it was ballet she was doing.
I think we kinda ment the same. And i am not that good with words. (sorry)
And for the movie, yeah. Great! Everyone that had something to do with the movie did an amazing job. From the actors\actresses to the crew behind the scenes!

The Ballet is slightly more in the foreground than in "Black Swan", still it isn't exactly a "Dance-Movie", it merely takes place in ballet and as in "Black Swan" the professional background would be exchangeable.

Well, what can i say about this one? I think i kinda had high expectations on this one. With all the Oscars it won, and i am a big fan of the silent\black and white era. And going in to this movie i kinda had high expactions, and didnt really know what to think about it. But man, what a movie! What they have managed to do with it, simply amazing. It was like seeing a movie from the 20's. Just an amazing movie, with a good story aswell. And the lead actors did a great job with what they had to work with! I understand why the movie won 5 Osars. And this is a movie that i highly recommand for you guys that like the silent and black\white era.. Just amazing IMO.. Not perfect, but almost perfect. There was just a few things i didnt like with the movie.. But almost a perfect 6!

My Review:
Usually i'm not a big fan of comedys. It is so easy to mess up a comedy from good to real bad. So i dont have high expectations when it comes to comedys. (Jim Carrey is a person i really love, when it comes to comedys. He's about it.)
But this movie started of red hot, and hilarious.. Made me laugh alot, the story was cute aswell. But the movie lost its pace a bit, but Mila and Justin made it work. And the lines was pretty fun at times too. And even with the laughs, the movie had its serious points aswell. For me this was a easy and cheap fun. And it never hurts to see Mila Kunis naked! ;)
A comedy i recommand for some easy fun and laughs :)

My Review:
Oh, well. I dont mind a good british action flick. Seen a few good ones actullay. And going in to this one, i maby expected too much. It was cool to see Vinnie Jones back again. (long time since i've seen him in any movies) But yeah, that was cool, and of course Vinnie as a dirty cop. I think he did a good job. But for me the story in the movie was a bit to weak, something i've seen often before. And the movie was too slow for me, to be a good actionflick. There was a few good scenes, but it didnt happend much really trough out the movie. For me, this was a boring movie unfortuntaly. A movie that i wouldnt recommand to watch. :\

...what tempted me was to see Shannyn Sossamon. She looked like a bright talent about ten years ago and I love her in A Knight's Tale / The Rules of Attraction. She just never really materialised and since then her best is probably a small role in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I do want to see Wristcutters: A Love Story though.
Didn't remember the name and didn't make the connection to KKBB, but Wristcutters is great. Get to it!

If you liked "Black Swan", I highly recommend the grandmother of this genre: "The Red Shoes" (1948).I always pictured Red Shoes to be pretty much a pure ballet film. Seems I was off in my estimation. If I remember correctly then there is a Criterion release available for this which I shall put on my wish list.
The Ballet is slightly more in the foreground than in "Black Swan", still it isn't exactly a "Dance-Movie", it merely takes place in ballet and as in "Black Swan" the professional background would be exchangeable.

My Review:
This was a movie that i was looking real forward to watch. And now i finally got some time on my hands to get on it. I didnt expect too much of this really. But i've always enjoyed Mark Wahlberg in action movies, he usually do a great part. Wich he did here aswell IMO. The story was interesting enough. And the cast and crew was good aswell. But the movie started of too slow for me, as i hoped it would pick up some of it pace trough out the movie. But not really. The was a twists in the movie, but nothing too big "ohh, i didnt see that coming" Its says its a Action\Thriller, i would say it was a Action\Suspence movie. An ok movie if your in to your smugling movies etc. But for me, a bit slow, but a few good action scenes here and there. And Mark Wahlberg did an good job with the movie.
Check it out if you want. I wont say it was a bad movie. But not the kind of movie it thought it would be

Wow! Just wow really. I've watched the trailer for this one a bit back, and right there and then i loved the trailer, and i heard some good things about the movie from some friends of mine! And i finally got to watch it, and i just have to say.. What a movie! The story was real good, and the filming aswell was just great, how they did it all! And it says its a thriller.

My Review:
Well, a movie that i saw the trailer of a little while back. It looked quite good actually, and i know it have gotten a few good reviews and few of my friends really liked it too. So now i finally got around to it. And its nice to see the up and coming young stars get their chance! And with "Jacob" in the lead role, i didnt know what to expect. I'm not his biggest fan, beacuse of the twilight series. But the movie starts of ok. But it quickly steps up its pace, and sets the standard for the movie really. A really good and interesting story aswell. And the story just picks up trough out the movie. And it kinda had me guessing a few places. A very good actionflick that will keep you on your toes to the end of the movie. And you dont know how the movie will end, before its ends. And you dont know how the good guys or the bad guys are trough out the movie either. So who's to trust really? Thats a quastion i had on my mind in the movie. But to the end of the movie, i got alot of answers. A bit of a different story in the movie, wich i always like. A action movie that i really enjoyed! Wich i highly recommand you guys to watch! And IMO both "Jacob" and LIly Collins did a decent role in this movie.

My Thoughts:
This movie has been so hyped up in both the media, and by many of my friends. So i had my expectations up a bit too much maby. But i got to watch it last night. I think the story was a good story. And the movie started of very good aswell. But it slowed down very fast. The movie moved along very slow trough out the movie, and the movie and story turned out the be something completely different than i thought. The movie got a bit boring at times aswell, it didnt movie along as much. Was on the same places too long. But Ryan Gosling made the movie work, He did a great job with it. Both the movie isnt that much about the "driver" and the driving as one might think.
An ok movie, but a bit too slow for me. And they could have done so much more with it (IMO)

And i have to agree with you on the music part. Genious
But there was something with the movie, and how they did
the story and all the arc, that just didnt do it quite enough
for me. Even though i would really hope so. It wasnt a very bad
movie, but i thought it would be a higher pace and a bit different
movie. But thats beacuse i had my expactions up very high i think
I pictured me it would be something like "Fast And The Furious"
or something.

I pictured me it would be something like "Fast And The Furious" or something.
In the Q&A on the UK release, the director tells us this was originally going to be a Fast and the Furious style movie with a $60m budget starring Hugh Jackman. I posted about it a little under my review here: http://www.dvdcollectorsonline.com/index.php/topic,6328.msg153480/topicseen.html#msg153480
I'm with Jon though. This is tied as one of my faves of 2011 currently.

My Review:
This bluray movie\bioset, was one that when i heard it was in the making, i had to get it. And i have to admit that i am not CM-Punks biggest fan. And i know that he wasnt "the chosen one" for a long time. And he's just been around, without too much about it. And with this blurayset you get a look at his journy from the indy's to one of the best wwe superstars and longest reign champion in WWE history. Its a very interesting history, and the road to become a maineventer. He has comed along way from where it all started. And i have to admit that he isnt the "biggest star" in WWE, like Undertaker, Randy Orton (HBK) etc. But he's done ok for himself and i really enjoyed this bioset. And there is a few great matches on it aswell! I highly recommanded it to any WWE fan out there!

Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few too many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends edvise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers... permanently. There's only one problem: even the best-laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.

This one i got recommanded to me aswell, and in this one too was Jen Aniston! Wich is never a bad thing imo. (and she's kinda hot too!) But over to the movie. The movie had an interesting story for a comedy, wich worked out ok sometimes but the story was a bit too long. The story wasnt that fun always, (they tried, but failed some places) But the movie made me laugh a few times. Some of the lines they had was real funny, but then again some of the lines was just not working at all. Seemed out of place. All in all, an ok comedy that you could watch. Not a bad comedy, but i guess with those names on your list. They could have done a better job IMO. But still an ok movie, that made me laugh a few times!

My Review:
So this is the first movie in a movieseries about a journalist that is writing or are in middle of a murdercase. And her job wants her to pruisut the story ofcourse. But the way she does things isnt always good, she can get a bit too close to stuff she shouldnt. And she put her nose where it doesnt belong at all. And she uses methods that isnt quite legal, to just to get a story. And sometimes that can be very dangerous, and even cost people their life.. She have to becareful so she doesnt end up hurt or even killed. But other than that, this was a movieset i kinda blind bought. But this movie was actually good IMO, had a good mix with drama\crime and a good deal of suspence really. I liked what they have done with this Swedish filmseries so far. I'm looking forward to check out the rest of them too! After 1 movie, i recommand you scandy's out there to check out that one atleast!

Haha! I'm not going to write too much about this one. Just a few quick words.. Let me just start with what a great follow up this one was! It started in kinda the same way as the first one did. And after that all kinda went "downhill" for the 4 buddys. What a hilarious movie! A bit on the edge sometimes, but it just fit perfect with the rest of the storyline! I havent laughed that movie from a movie in a very long time! And what an amazing job the crew did with this! Everything from the music to the lines. Just awesome! This was a hilarious and great way to spend 1.4hours! And for the people that have watched the first one, and not this. JUST HAVE TO! And there's been talk about a movie number 3! God i hope so! Would be interesting to see how they would play that one out! Highly recommand anyways! Great fun!

Madagascar - The Land Where Evolution Ran Wild
An astonishing series revealing the extraordinary wildlife and dramatic landscapes of one of the world's most bizarre islands. Lying just off the coast of Africa, Madagascar is a land of misty mountains, tropcal rainforest and weird spiny desert scrub. Here the wildlife has evolved in splendid isolation to become strange and totally unique.
The series caputires, sometimes for the first time, the diverse and rare wildlife that inhabits this incredible land. It features amazing footage of lemurs - a monkey-like group of creatures made up of 100 different species unique to the island - but also reveals frogs that turn from brown to bright yellow, wasps that pluck tadpoles from tree-nests and fish that swim upside down, as well as following the romantic life of the world's tiniest chameleon. Madagascar is an ambitious and intimate portrait of a fascinating but perilously fragile island - one of the few places left on Earth where there are still wildlife mysteries waiting to be discovered.
Extras: None
My Review:
Ah, this documentary i got real cheap at one of the local stores. And for me it looked quite interesting.
I do like the animal\wildlife documentary's. And this is one of the best i've seen so far actually. Its a few real good storys about the Madagascar wildlife and nature. And the beautiful scenery aswell. And the teller in this doc, did a great job IMO. A very interesting docu, and i found it amazing with the things i learned. Its a great documentary about the animals, the nature and how they survive in a place like that really. This is a great documentary by BBC EARTH, that i recommand everyone that like or are interested in those kind of movies\docus. IMO

Going in to this movie, i didnt know what to expect really, except what i've seen on trailers and what people had been telling me. And i'm a big fan of both the original Spiderman movies and comics. So me and my younger brother just checked it out. And i got to say that i really loved it. Loved what they did with it, liked how they kept the story kinda fresh with new people and "a bit different" story, but still it reminded us\me of the first movie. And i really liked the changes too, with the badguy etc. And of course the makeup and special efects crew did one amazing job! This was a great and refreshing movie IMO. A movie that i recommand you all to check out! Really good one. If they decide to make a new series, i would watch the 2nd and 3rd movie aswell. Based on what i saw tonight.

And fun to see the actors in a bit different element than i'm used to see them in. (Im not Tom Cruises bigest fan at all) but he did a good job actually.

In December 2009, the bands announced that they would be joining forces to take part in the traveling Sonisphere Festival for only 7 shows across Europe. This one-time only event from the Sofia show made it possible for fans far and wide to participate in what otherwise was a very limited run of dates. Lars Ulrich of Metallica says of this historic show, "Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal's Big Four would not only still be around, be more popular than ever, playing shows together at stadiums all over Europe, and on top of that, coming to a movie theater near you in High Definition (for better or worse??!!). Bring it on!" Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian says “Damn, as if this Big 4 tour wasn't exciting enough now we get to be on the big screen worldwide! Metal at the movies, two big horns up! It is unbelievably gratifying that this means so much to the metal community around the globe. Get your tix, grab some popcorn and get ready to bang your head!” Declares Slayer’s Kerry King, “I can’t believe someone didn’t make this happen 15 years ago! The fans finally get what they want. I think it’s awesome!” Says Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine, “The magnitude of this event hasn't really sunk in yet, and I am thrilled to know that people around the planet will be able to walk into a movie theatre and experience the greatest line up of Heavy Metal in the history of the world!”

My Review:
Well, as a huge fan of heavy metal, and music in general. This was a movie i knew i had to get, when i heard of it. And holy shiitake mushroom for a movie they have made here! Starts of real strong by Anthrax, and followed by Megadeath, Slayer and ofcourse Metallica finishes the show. And with all the Big 4 bands on the stage together. Wow, just amazing. Metallica is my favourite by all times, really love them. And i've seen some dvds with them before. But this is by far the best i've seen! And what a show they all make, just epic IMO. And the sound and picture quality is just amazing on this Blu-Ray set. They did a great job! It was a long concert, but man the time just fly's by. For me, i will defently watch this again and again! This for me is a must have for every metal fans out there! Couldnt recommand it higher!

My Review:
This was a movie that got alot of attention here in my country beacuse of alot of reasons. A movie that i really wanted to see, and now i finally got the chance. And i just have to say that ever since i first saw Keira Knightley in the 'Pirates' movies i was a fan. This is a movie based on a true story (wich is always a plus in my book) A interesting story indeed, but again a twisted story. A story that i didnt know much about. But i have to say that i really enjoyed this movie, and i really liked what Keira Knightley did with her part in this one. Well done. Its a very good and strong movie, with some real good acting IMO. A movie that i recommand you guys to check out! And its was interesting to see how Freud was thinking about his subjects. I think everyone did a good job with this one. Check it out

From where it all started, and you get to see her on her first\biggest tour to date. A very interesting movie imo. Was nice to see where it all started and to learn something about the artist Katy Parry. This IMO is a good movie to watch for any music fan, specially the popmusic fans out there.

My Review:
So this was a movie\docu that i was looking real forward to watch. I remember when NWO and Hulk Hogan was the badguys in wrestling. And i actually found that quite interesting. And now they've finally made a documentary about the 'NWO' group. I remember i saw a short documentary about that a few years back. So i was interested to see what they had done with this one. And to be honest, even though it was a good movie\docuset, i was a bit dissapointed in what they had done this time around. Alot of old inteviews from the first docu they've made. Some interviews was as old as 2002! 10 years. So i those spots they could have done a better job IMO. And they could have done something new aswell, a few things in the story was the exact same as the old one. Not very original there. But the extras, the blu-ray specials was good. And there was a few good matches aswell! And even tho' i expected maby a bit more of this one (after its hype) its still a good docu\movie. A must have\watch for any wrestling fans out there IMO! But if you have seen the first movieset about NWO, dont expect too much different in this one. Execpt some of the matches, and blu-ray specs.

Had me guessing a few times, on who did what etc. I like the story so far with the 3 movies i've seen so far. A very good movieset that i really like so far. For me i highly recommand you guys to check out this movieset. And from the first movie and up till now, it seems like the story's and what happens and getting darker. Wich is interesting.

Going in to this one, i didnt expect too much really. I enjoyed the first one, and i hoped\thinked it would be something similar to the first one. And it was kinda too, story was a bit different and a few new "big names" was added to the cast. Wich i liked. I liked how they continued with some of the story from the first movie aswell. And they still kept the same pace, actionpacked trough out the movie. And it was nice to see both Van Damme and ofc Chuck Norris back on the big screen too! For me this movie was really good. And a good follow up movie IMO. This movie is a must see for you guys that enjoyed the first movie! Highly recommanded!

So this is a movie i've heard alot about! (I havent read the books) And now me and some good friends finally got around to watch it. And i have to admit that i had really high expactions about this one. After only hearing great things about it! The movie started of a bit slow IMO. But sometimes picks up the pace again, and then again slows down. But it was a good balance trough out i think. A allright movie with a very interesting story aswell. And i liked what they did with the story too. The actors\actresses did an ok job too. Wich is always good! And i liked what the makeup and special efect team have done with it. And i just have to say on a personal note too, that i liked the picture and sound quality too! Well done! This is a movie i would recommand you to check out.

So this was a movie i've had in my unwatched pile for a long time. A movie that i have wanted to see for a long time aswell. And a lot of people have recommaned this one to me, since i love war movies, specially the Vietnam war. So now i finally got around to watch it. And i will just start to say that its a bit different than the "usual" war movie. But its a good war movie. Its start of strong, and it keeps it high pace trough out the movie. A movie with a strong story, and you get to see the POV from some of the privates. And for me, this was a very interesting movie, with how they did it. Its a good and strong war movie, not as good as Platoon but a war movie that i would recommand you guys to watch.
This is a movie that i would like to watch again at some point. And if you guys know any other good Vietnam war movies, please let me know!

My Review:
Ok, first of i just have to say thank you to Sam! Great recommandation yet again. This movie was a movie i didnt know about, before i got it recommanded to me, after watching 'The Hunger Games'
And i was looking forward to checking it out. The movie reminded a bit about 'The Hunger Games' but again, very different. I found the story in this movie quite interesting. And some of the scenes was just brutal and way more grapich than 'Hunger Games' This version or "original" or what i should call it, its for me by far much better than 'Hunger Games' A sick and twisted movie at times, but again a good story and it had me interested trough out the movie. A movie that i am going to watch again somtime! A movie that is simular to 'Hunger Games' but yet so different. For me, i have to recommand this movie highly to the people who enjoyed 'Hunger Games' or like a good horror movie i would say.
And the limited edition, i would say that the Extras alone is worth the money for the bluray :) Just great!

Silence> an additional link between that hilarious pic and BR: Tarantino was due to play the President of the USA in BRII but after the death of Kinji, had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts.
A US remake was in the works for 2015, but rumours are that it is currently not happening. Of course, it's been on/off for years.

Tarantino was due to play the President of the USA in BRII but after the death of Kinji, had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts.Good thing it didn't happen... he is an awfull director that fanboys find original because they don't know better (those who know seventies cinema know he steal everything he did in other movies) and he is even worst as an actor (even me I was more natural in the amateur short films we did 20 years ago).
Post by: samuelrichardscott on December 07, 2012, 03:51:56 PM
He's always given credit where credit is due, and I'll hold him in high regard for a long time. In fact, without Jackie Brown, I doubt I would've discovered Coffy, Foxy Brown, Truck Turner, Slaughter or my favourite - Black Mama White Mama.
Love him or hate him, he's a talented guy. Anyway, I won't turn this into another Tarantino for or against thread - we can just read the 100 or so others. :P :hysterical:
Post by: Jimmy on December 07, 2012, 05:02:11 PM
He's always given credit where credit is due.Sorry but my only reaction will be :hysterical:
In fact, without Jackie Brown, I doubt I would've discovered Coffy, Foxy Brown, Truck Turner, Slaughter or my favourite - Black Mama White Mama.That comment is just sad :(
and I won't say what I really think of it...
For example, when Grindhouse came out, loads of new Grindhouse discs were releasedNot true at all... first that film was a huge flop and deserved to be as it was an insult for those loving the cinema of seventies. Secondly, grindhouse is a generic term for the hipster crowd who don't know better. Thirdly, grindhouse isn't a genre but just the name of the independant cinemas who were located in the 42nd street at New-York. Finally, I and many fans were buying those movies a long time before that stupid insulting film was released...
Tarantino has opened the eyes of many to other moviesFunny because I have never needed an hack to discover new genre, but what do I know? Seventies cinema is what I watch and love so I'm not a part of the dumb hipster crowd.

Sorry, I never said Grindhouse was a genre. What I meant was that the movies that played in Grindhouse theaters got loads of Grindhouse branded discs. You only need to look at the release dates of all the Grindhouse compilation discs to see which movie they coincided with. btw, Grindhouse is my least favourite movie of Tarantino's but I still found it to be fun. I see it as a tribute rather than an insult though I certainly wouldn't say anything bad about your opinion because the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same thing.
Also, how is it sad that I discovered a whole host of blaxploitation films after watching Jackie Brown? If anything this is a good thing. It's no different than discovering Asian cinema thanks to Battle Royale or sixties British sex comedies thanks to the Carry On films.

Hammer Horror - Couldn't sleep one night in my early teens and Countess Dracula was on TV.
Non-martial arts Asian cinema - After a recommendation on an audio commentary from an early HKL release.
Giallos - Some references from an article about Franco Nero in a magazine.

Out of interest, which Tarantino movies have you seen so far?Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and Death Proof (the last two only on TV). See at least I watch them and I even own Reservoir Dogs two times on DVD (I like the performance of Harvey Keitel in this film).

Plot:
The Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific ocean in a balsa wood raft in 1947, together with five men, to prove that South Americans already back in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the sea and settle on Polynesian islands. After financing the trips with loans and donations they set off on an epic 101 days long trip across 8000 kilometers, while the world was waiting for the result of the trip. The film tells about the origin of the idea, the preparations and the events on the trip. Kon-Tiki was named after the Inca sun god, Viracocha, and "Kon-Tiki" is an old name for this god. Heyerdahl filmed the expedition, which later became the Acaemy award winning documentary in 1951, and wrote a book about the expedition which was translated into 70 languages and sold more than 50 millions copies around the world. Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have settled Polynesia in pre-Columbian times...

My Review:
Well, this is the movie about the expediton that Thor Heyerdahl & did, back in the days. I've seen the documentary that he made back then. And since i heard that they was going to make a movie about the expedition aswell, i knew that was a movie that i had to watch when it came out. And now it finally came, and me and family actually watched it together. And what they did with the movie, i actually liked real good. They didnt mess up much really (something ofcourse) but not much from the original documentary. Wich was nice to see. But in some places they did some different storytelling, than actually what happend. Wich is a big no no for me (even though this is a movie) And for me, i always like a movie that is based on a true story.. And some of the actors in the movie, i was looking forward to see in action, since i havent seen much from them. And i think they did a good job with this. A good movie about the journey they've been trough together. Many important and key moments aswell in the movie, that they had in it. (a solid plus) And the picture and quailty sound was great aswell. For me, this a highly recommanded movie to check out! I really enjoyed it from start to finish!

My Review:
So, after alot of stuff happening, and alot of tv-shows watched. Me and some friends finally got around to watch Brave 3D. And the movie starts of' actually quite good. With alot of good 3D efects aswell. (wich is always good) its not every movie they are able to pull that of as good. Actually a cute movie, with an interesting story to boot. Alot of stuff happening aswell, and the movie had me interested trough out the movie aswell. Wich is never a bad sign. A typical Pixar\Disney movie IMO. But a very well done animted movie. A very cute familymovie if you ask me. And the picture\sound quality was amazing aswell. And they did a great job with the 3D in this one IMO. All in all, i highly recommand this for anyone that is a fan of both a good movie, and animated movies.

My Review:
So inbetween all the Christmas stuff i've been doing and the tv-shows i've been watching lately, i finally got around to watch a movie! (About on time!) And this one was a blind buy (again) actually. I only saw Mr.Cage and Malin Åkerman on the cover, and it kinda looked interesting too. So the movie starts out ok, with some cool scenes. And with an interesting story, and goes on for about 20 minutes. But then, its like they just hit a switch on the movie. The story stands complety still, nothing is happening really. The movie gets boring, the story\plot is in the same place in the whole movie just about. And i have to say that i hoped i would get to see some of the "oldschool" Nic Cage again. But man, IMO did he dissapoint in this movie. Just didnt look like he was IN it like he was in his old days. This was a movie that had great potential IMO, but they blew it big time. With just about everything. I guess maby i expected too much of it or them! For me, i wont recommand this one for anyone. Sorry

My Review:
So, i am at the 4th movie of this Swedish crimeseries from Liza's Marklunds books. And i have to say that for each movie, i like this series more and more. More action and more suspence for every movie.
So, this one had a good and very interesting plot to it. It had me guessing trough out the movie, i had some thoughts on who did what. But i was fooled. Wich is a nice thing. I really like what they have done with this series so far, with both the main character and the story of the saga in the whole thing. Everything to the small details from each movie, and the development from the character. And the acting is better aswell. This is a real good Swedish crime\drama series that i have enjoyed so far. And in every movie, that make somekind twist. "didnt see that coming" So it wont be just the same for 6 movies. A movie series that i recommand you people to check out!
Personally i cant wait to check out both movie 5 and the last one in the pack, movie 6! Really like where all of this is heading!

My Review:
So, why not just keep on going with this filmseries? 5/6 movies done! And this one started of real good, and 'one of their own' is targeted. And a police man is killed. And this police that is killed looked like a saint (?) is that the correct word? And people at the force is ofc very sad about that. But as Anikka and the media people starts to dig in his past etc, stuff happens. And is the officer who people belived he was? Well, let me just say this. It was one hell of a ride to find out, what was really the story about this one. And Anikka the (the journlist) should becareful in what she does, and how she does it. She is willing to do WHATEVER it takes, to get a good story out, but did she cross the line this time?
Does she know what people she's messing with? This 5th movie is a great movie, with a great story that had me in my seat. A movie filled with a good mix between both suspence and action. And i liked what they did with the twists and turns in this one aswell! A great movie that i ofcourse recommand you guys to watch! Cant wait to check out the last movie in the series! Wonder what they have in store for us, in that way! Hopefully i'll be able to watch it today or tomorrow!

My Review:
So, i finally got trough them all. 1-6! And what a great series it was. But more on that later. For this movie, (being the last one in the series) i had a bit higher expactions on this one, then the other ones. It starts of a bit shaky, with nothing much happening really, but get fairly quick back at the action. A bit different story this time, then what i've been used to in the other movies. But thats a good thing IMO. This a case where the journalist needs to go out of town and out of the country, wich was interesting enough. And while on the case, alot of good stuff happens. And ofc with a few tiwsts and turns. With something i didnt see coming, and something i did see coming unfortunatly. But other than that, they did a good job with this story IMO, had me in interested trough out the movie. And enough stuff happening that i think the movie was a good finish for the series. A filmseries that i'm happy that i checked out. And a movieseries that i would highly recommand you guys to watch, if you like a good mix of suspence and crime! Well worth it IMO.

My Review:
Ok, so i wanted to check this one out, for a few reasons. One of the reasons was that i wanted to see how Harry Potter did outside the Harry Potter movies. And i think he did an ok job (in this movie anyways) and the second reason was that i enjoyed the trailer of the movie. And for the movie itself, its an ok 'horror' movie with a few good spots. A interesting story too, that had me interested trough out it. An ok ending aswell (IMO) but a movie that was a bit too slow for my taste, to get that real "WOW" feeling. And a movie with not enough 'scare' moments either to make it a very good horror movie. But an ok movie, with a few good spots and interesting story and an ok ending. And with a good sound quality too! A movie that i would say 'check out it, if you get it cheap' Thats what i think anyways!

Plot:
Before anyone thought of "throwing Momma from the train," the idea of a double "crisscross" murder had already been hatched. Or "hitched," as in Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train. Tennis star Guy Haines (Farley Granger) half-jokingly muses about killing his wife with a stranger he meets on a train, unhinged playboy Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), who'd prefer his father be deceased. In theory, each could murder the other's victim. Crisscross. No motive. No clues. No problem...except: Bruno takes the idea seriously, with deadly consequences. Whether you're a fan of Hitchcock's or just brilliant filmmaking, this diabolical tale of twisting suspense and macabre humor, costarring Ruth Roman and Hitchcock stalwarts Leo G. Carroll and the director's daughter, Patricia Hitchcock, is your ideal carnival ride.

So, this is a movie i've wanted to see\get for a very long time. And a got it for Christmas! (Thank you very much!) I've never seen it before but heard just great stuff about it. So now i finally got around to watch it. And before i write what i think about it i got a quastion for you guys that have seen it. Was that Alfred Hitchcock in the beginning of the movie?! Or was it just someone that looked like him?
So to the movie, it started of as i expected. But just about there it stopped. It was a bit different movie then i expected it to be. But a good movie, with a great storyline that had me in my chair all movie long. A movie with some great lead actors in it aswell. And i like what they did with the story too, and how they kept me interested trough out the movie, and not giving away the ending 10minutes in it. And i am a big fan of Hitchcock's work, and this is a new one that i really enjoyed! And not to forget, its a B&W movie wich i love aswell! Even though i dont have anything to compare it to, i really think they did a great job with both the sound and picture quality on this one. (I havent seen the dvd or anything) so i dont know how the quality there was. But again a just amazing job by Hitchcock & co. A movie that i highly recommand you guys to check out!

And before i write what i think about it i got a quastion for you guys that have seen it. Was that Alfred Hitchcock in the beginning of the movie?! Or was it just someone that looked like him?Hitchcock had walk-on roles in almost all of his later films. It started as a cheap way to fill the scene a little more and eventually became something of a trademark. At some point he had to start to make sure he'd show up in the beginning so people could then concentrate on the film, not keep looking or him :laugh:
So, yes, that was probably him.
Post by: Piffi on January 06, 2013, 02:44:17 AM
A shame really, i wanted it to be a real good one. :)

Impressively building to a disquieting and horrific climax, the film provides a sobering and nightmarish glimpse into a deranged and damaged mind. A bona-fide cult classic, it is a startling, morally complex and uncompromising work of genuine daring and vision.

My Review:
So, after people said great things about this one, and i had it in my unwatched pile for awhile. I finally got around to watch it. I didnt know what to expect really. This horror movie was a bit different than i thought it would be. But a good horror movie with a sick and twisted story with a good performance by the lead actor as 'Henry' and wow, what a sick and twisted man Henry is. Its a good mix in the movie between the sick horror and the suspence. And what they have done with the music too in the movie, its just perfect with the scenes and the mood and stuff in the movie. And there was some really nasty scenes aswell. There was two scenes that made feel just empty inside afterwards. This movie is a good horror movie, but not for the easly offended ones. If you got a strong heart and like a good horror movie, i really recommand this one! But IF NOT. Dont watch it please!

Aksel Hennie

Plot:
Halvannen time av et menneskes liv kan fortelle utrolig mye. Noen ganger trenger du verken før eller etter.
Kritikerroste 90 Minutter er et nervepirrende drama om tre menn på bristepunktet. Filmen følger offer og overgriper den siste halvannen timen før det fatale skjer, og skildrer ganske vanlige mennesker som mister fotfestet. Vi møter dem som faller utenfor et rikt og vellykket Norge, og ser en mørk og forstyrrende virkelighet der kontrastene i samfunnet settes på spissen. 90 minutter er brutal, ærlig og realistisk - vi rives inn en verden alle vet at finnes, men som ingen vil se.
90 Minutter er regissert av Eva Sørhaug (Lønsj). Hovedrollene spilles av blant andre Aksel Hennie, Kaia Varjord, Mads Ousdal, Pia Tjelta og Bjørn Floberg.

My Review:
So, i dont know what to say really about this movie. This was a movie that was REALLY hyped up here in Norway, and a movie that i had real expactations for! (Not good, i know) A Norwegian movie with some of the biggest Norwegian names in it. A movie with a very strong story about three different lifes and their last 90 minutes of their lifes. (there of the name. 90 Minutter = 90 Minutes) But, the movie (for me) really never took off. It was a bit too slow for me, and even though the story was strong, and the acting was good. It never gave me that "wow" feeling. So i dont know really if this is something i would watch again. (maby) For you scandies out there, check it out if you find it for a cheap penny.
Just have to say, real great acting! That put the movie a bit up for me.

My Review:
So i just watched this movie with two friends of mine. I've heard alot of great things about it. And its based on a true story (wich is always a plus in my book) So for the movie itself i have to say that the story was a bit different story, but a very good story. (I dont where and when all this happend) And i liked what they did it all. A movie mixed with both suspence and action from finish to end. Both Mr.Denzel Washington and Chris Pine did a great job in this movie. A good action\suspence movie i truly enjoyed from start to finish. And i just have to say 'wow' what a great sound quality they have in this movie. Just amazing! A real good movie that gets your bloodpump running! A movie that i would recommand everyone to check out! Real good action\suspence flick IMO!

My Review:
This was a blind buy actually, when they had a huge sale on one of the local video stores here. And since i got it for a real cheap penny and i am a fan of Morgan Freeman's work, why not? So for the movie itself. I didnt know what to expect ofc, (havent seen the trailer or anything) so i went in it with zero expactions. And i think that was a good idea. Its a movie that impressed me in alot of ways. I liked the story with a twist. The story was interesting and well played by the crew. And what they have done with the special efects in this movie was great aswell! (I dont know if they have used alot of money on it, or what) But i really liked the special efects in this movie. Even though the movie had me in the seat trough out the movie, there was a few things i didnt like with the movie aswell. Some of the acting wasnt good enough for me. And some of the spots just seemed a bit too rushed aswell. And i think they could have done a bit more with the ending in the movie too. So all in all a good movie that i would recommand you to watch. A bit different movie tho, but still a good one.

My Review:
Well, to be honest i didnt know much about Edgar Allan Poe, before i heard about him in an episode of 'Castle' And after that i've read alot about him etc. So when i found out that they was making this movie, and after seeing the trailer i just had to get it. And again (!) i had too big expactions for the movie i think. It says its a horror\suspence. Well, more suspence (IMO) than horror. And interesting (but not too original) story. I liked what they did with the story actually, and i liked who they made the killer\badguy in the end. Nice twist. And the filming\editing was ok too in this one. But the movie want a bit too slow for me, from the beginning and waay over half trough it, nothing much happend really. Its kinda stood still really. And after that, it wasnt much happening really. But the movie saved itself with a good story, and some good acting by some. All in all, an ok movie. That you could check out if you find it cheap. Not the best i've seen. But not the worst i've seen either. And totally ok movie. But thats about it (for me)

Give it a try Sam, you might like it. And no problem, just checked out the trailer.

My Review:
So, this is a bit different flick from WWE, than i thought it would be. Interesting how they made a
little story about each superstar from thhe 21th century. A few good names, that totally deserved
to be in this flick. And a few that didnt deserve it (IMO) since its supposed to the greatest superstars
from the 21th century. And there was a few names that i think they forgot. But again thats me.
Other than that, it was an ok documentar for wrestlingfans, and with some good matches aswell.
A movie that you should check out IMO if you are a wrestling fan!

My Review:
Ah, what a movie. And even better in HD! But over to the movie itself. Its a true gangster movie about the illegal mobster life in Las Vegas, and how the 'mob' run everything. The movie is a classic, with a great story. And (for me) i think both Pesci and De Niro is pure class! Just perfect IMO. I specially love Joe Pesci's character in this one. Just gold! A long movie, that lasts for about 3 hours. But when you watch it, you wouldnt think so. The time just fly's by, its that good (to me anyways) and some good lines aswell in the movie. And there is a scene on about the 50minutes mark, between Pesci and De Niro, when they are talking on the phone. (you guys that have seen it, know what im talking about) i can watch that scene over and over again! This movie is of course highly recommanded for you guys to check out! Pure class from start to finish.

My Review:
Another masterpiece i would say. A movie i heard alot of great things about, but never seen before. One of the reason i bought it in the first place, was a good friend of mine recommanded it to me.
A movie that had a great story imo. I like how the movie starts. And what they do with what they got is just amazing. For me, the pace of the movie was just perfectly balanced trough out it. And you kinda had to guess trough out the movie, who did what etc. Wich is always a good thing. And Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in the leads. Just great! I really liked what they did with their parts too. Strong performances! A movie that i highly recommand you guys to watch! One thing i didnt like that good was the sound. I think they could have done a bit better maby with the sound, when they transferd it over to blu-ray.
So thanks Michael for the great choise! :)

My Review:
So i finally watched this one. A movie that i've been interested in for a long time, but never got around to watch it. The Bonnie And Clyde story have always had my interest. And i guess everyone have heard about those two. So now i finally got to check out some of it anyways. The movie was a bit different than i thought it would be. But i really liked the story, and how the two lead pulled that off. I didnt even know that they had othe people with them, under the robberies and murders. I only thought it was them two. A fast movie actually, with a high pace trough out the thing. A few good scenes and lines here and there. A movie that i enjoyed actually, and a movie that i would watch again. But there is a few things that i thought they could have done a bit better. 1, the sound was crap on this blu. 2, the ending came as a suprise on me. Didnt like that ending at all. 3, the movie seemed a bit rushed in some places. 4, some of the supporting actors could done a better job IMO. But still a great action movie that i would recommand for you guys that like a older action movie :)

And for the Bonnie And Clyde, it was talked about a year ago or so to make a renewal of it.
But i havent seen or heard anything about it, since then. I guess they dropped it. But would
be cool to see how they would do that anyways.

My Review:
Interesting.. I really dont know what to say about this movie. It was a movie that i bought because a friend recommanded it to me. Its not a bad movie at all. A bit different movie tho. A movie that had its moment. A few good scare moments here and there. A good story, and some ok grapich pictures with some blood and bones. (Could have done more on that part. Since its a horror movie) The acting was ok. Have seen better, but seen worse too. I really liked the idea of the movie. So i wasnt dissapointed by it, but i feel that they could have done some more, to make it even better if you got me. But still a movie that you should check out.

I just have to agree with you 100% there David!
So, thanks Marie for the great choise! ;)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) I loved it when I saw it. The story did take a turn I didn't expect that was very entertaining.
I'm still dazzled by the look of Sully's hair when I watch the movie..and it looks even better on Blu.
I definitely want to see Monster University once it is out. And I will brave opening day to see it. The things I do for Pixar movies. :laugh:

2, the ending came as a suprise on me. Didnt like that ending at all.If you refer to the last 2 minutes, then there wasn't really much they could do. It is the way the story ended in real life and they supposedly went really close to what actually happened for this bit. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_and_Clyde#1934:_Final_run) The rest of the movie has more artistic license of course...
Absolutely.I second that.

My Review:
So, that was interesting. And a bit different than i thought it would be. Its a movie that i've heard a bit about. Both negative and positive, but never seen it before. The movie had my attention trough out the whole movie. A good and strong story to it aswell. And alot of naked Nicole Kidman aswell. A movie that had some good and important moments. And a strong performance by both Tom and Nicole (and i am not a fan of Mr.Cruise) Its a very good movie, with a bit of running time. But a movie that i would highly recommand if you are not easly offend. A movie i would watch again on a later time. Of all i've seen Nicole Kidman in, this is one of my favourite parts of her. Really strong! And i just have to say something about the music in the movie too. I really like how they pulled it off. Good and strong movie!

My Review:
So, i've been a huge fan of Mr.Eastwood's work both behind and in front of the camera since i started to be interested in movies. And lets just face it, he is a legend and a icon in the movie business. Not many out there (IMO) that can compare themself to him. And he has made a lot of great movies. (Gran Torino, Western movies.) But i have actually never seen any of his Dirty Harry work. And i have heard alot about it ofc, but i didnt want to expect anything really. Just wanted to enjoy the ride. And what a ride it was! Really liked the story in this one, both actionpacked and very suspencefull at the same time. With a very good Clint Eastwood in the lead as 'Dirty Harry' I really love what they did with the story, and not just "pang pang, he's dead" Good moments trough out the movie, and i really liked some of the lines he had aswell! "You feeling lucky, punk?" And i loved the ways and turns he did, to catch a badguy. For me, this up there, with some of his best work to date. This is ofc highly recommanded, for those who havent checked them out yet! (But i guess most of you have) Just an amazing movie, and i'm looking forward to the 2nd.

My Review:
Well, this was an interesting movie. A movie that wasnt quite what i expected it to be. But an enjoyble action movie, with a good and interesting story. With a good cast, that worked well together IMO. And with a few good lines, and had some really good moments too. But not quite the movie i thought Tarantino would make. And i just have to say one thing about Robert De Niro's character in this one. He's looks reminds alot about his look from 'Cape Fear' very much alike. But there was a few things i didnt like that much tho, the movie was a bit slow at times for me. And the movie was a bit too long IMO, they could make just as good as a movie in about 2hours running time. But despite that. A good movie, that i recommand you to check out. :)

My Review:
Well, this was difficult one to rate for me actually. After reading a few reviews, i didnt have my expactions up high for this one. I did enjoy the first one tho. So i was just looking forward to this one, to see how they did it all. The movie was a good action movie, with a good mix of suspence in it. But to look at this as a follow up, there was a few things i didnt like at all. The story was good tho, i enjoyed that one. And the action scenes was also good. But they went a little too Jason Bourne wannabe in this one. Didnt quite fit all the time with rest of the story. And some of the scenes seemed rushed, and out of place. Keeping all that in mind. Still a good enjoyble actionflick. A movie that you have to see if you enjoyd the first 'Taken' Even though it had its flaws, i would watch it again.

My Review:
I had kinda high hopes for this one, after watching the trailer and when i saw the cast in the movie. The movie with a great story btw, started of great. And it was happening alot of stuff, and the movie was allright. But then, at the 30minute mark, something happend. The movie was real slow, nothing much really happend, it moved along a bit too slow. And after 35minutes, you kinda know how the movie will end. A movie with a great cast, a great story. But thats about it. It was a cool movie about to the 30 minute mark. And then something just happens. This was a movie i had high expactions for, but a movie that dissapointed me really. This is a movie i cant recommand you to watch actually.

When\Where is it?
Two of the tracks from Drive soundtrack are used. One, when his daughter is listening to headphones in the hotel on her own when Neeson is trying to call her. The second is more blatant though...
Remember the conceit of Drive is a driver who will give you five minutes, no more, then whatever, he's gone? Compare that to the scene where Neeson breaks into a taxi, leaves his daughter behind the wheel and tells her, whatever happens wait no more than five minutes then go! Coincidence until they start playing the bloody Drive theme as well... ;)

I liked the idea, but i think they could have done just a littlebit more. A allright cast aswell. With some funny lines inbetween that made me laugh. All in all, for me, a good Sci-Fi movie, that i enjoyed. A movie that i recommand you to see, if you find it for a cheap penny.

Didnt know what to expect really, other then what people have told me, and the trailer. The movie had a funny story with the talking teddybear. And the movie had me laugh out a loud a few times. And i enjoyed the idea behind it. But at some places they just dropped the ball IMO. I think both Mark and Mila Kunis did a ok job. But i feel that they could have done a bit more maby. For the comedy part of it they did a good job IMO. But there was a few things that they did, wich i didnt like at all. Wich drag the movie down unfortunatly. And its a movie that small kids shouldnt watch IMO. A good comedy for adults, that i would recommand you guys to check out for a cheap penny.

That's why it's rated 15+ for "Strong sexual references, coarse language and drug use", which can be considered as a fairly high rating and should give those that want to show this to their 5-year old something to think.
But, sure, those that even after taking a look at the cover still think that this might be an adequate afternoon-show for kids, will probably ignore the rating too.
Just because there's an animated Teddy-bear appearing in it doesn't make it a kids-movie.

My Review:
Well, this was interesting. I've heard alot about this one, mostly bad things about it. I really enjoyed the first\original Death Race movie with Jason Statham. This one i didnt have too much or any expactions for. The movie started of in a good way. With some good scenes. And from there, it had my interest. For the movie and the action in it, its a great movie, with alot of good scenes, some 'good' racing, some fighting etc. For me, this was actually a good action movie. BUT, since this is supposed to be a follow up, or a second movie in this 'franchise' There was a few things i think they should have done a bit better. The story for one, (its a good and entertaing story, but a bit too simular to the first movie) could have done a bit more, to make their 'own' kinda. And the actors in this one. Not as good as the first one. And i have to say the way the movie ended. Really?! Was that the best they could do? Well, for me a enjoyble actionflick. And a good follow up, not a great follow up. But an ok one. And with how things ended. I'm interested to see how the 3rd movie will be. For me, i recommand you guys to atleast check this one out, if you enjoyed the first Death Race.

My Review:
As i've said before, Fast and The Furious is one of my biggest guilty pleasures :-[
And after the 'Death Race 2' i got in the mood for some car chases, and its been a while since i've seen this one. And since Fast 6 will be out in the theaters in awhile, so why not? This one, i really enjoy. It has a great and fun story, with a few bumps here and there. And some good driving. And a cast that works good together aswell. I think they do their parts good in this one. Its not much to say about the Fast And The Furious movies really. But it had a deal of action in this one, some high speed chases, and some racing. And a story that wasnt boring, or solved before 30 minutes trough the movie. A great movie, with some real good scenes. A movie that i ofc i will be watching again some time! For me, this franchise is ofc highly recommanded! All of the movies, expect the 3rd one!

My Review:
Ah, i guess you can call this movie a guilty pleasure aswell. I just love this movie, i dont know how many times i've watched it really on dvd and tv. But never watched it on blu actually. So finally got around to check the blu version out. A few things about the movie, the story is just great. The action is off the chart (?) And its always good to see the oldschool Nic Cage. Both him and Angelina Jolie did a great job in this one. And i just have to say that the music people did a great job. Just fit right perfect to the whole thing. Ah, just perfect. And to compare the blu version to the dvd version. The blu is actually a good upgrage, the sound is just really great in this one. As is the picture quality. This is ofc a movie i cant recommand highly enough! :-[

My Review:
So, this is the movie i like the least of the 5 so far. I'm not going to say to much about it really. I can see they tried, but the story didnt get to me that much, as the other movies in the series did. And i didnt like the cast the had for this one aswell, why not use some of the 'original' crew? Why use a complete different\new cast? And the acting wasnt the best i've seen either. But i will not be only negative tho. Even tho the story didnt get to me as much as the others and the with the originals, it was an ok story, and i really liked the music in the movie. And there was some ok scenes. An ok action movie, but for the franchise (for me) it failed. If you like the F&F series, then you have to check it out i guess.

My Review:
Ok, so that was interesting. So i wanted to check out this movie for two reasons, 1, people said great things about it. 2, Jennifer Lawrence! I liked her since i saw 'Winters Bone' and after she just won an Oscar, i decided to check this one out. The movie was an ok one, with a good story, nothing original at all. A bit predicteble (but again, in the horror\thriller genre, whats original anymore?) The movie had its moments here and there. But was a bit slow aswell, for a horror. But for me, it wasnt that much of a horror\thriller, but more of a drama\thriller. It had a cool twist in it aswell, wich is always a good thing. And i liked Jennifer Lawrence's character 'Elissa' i think she did a great job with what she had. All in all, an ok drama\thriller (IMO) With Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role, doing a good job IMO. If you find it for a cheap penny, check it out! But i wouldnt pay full price for it.

My Review:
So, that was a allright movie. I didnt know what to expect really, other than what some people told me. So i didnt have any expactions really going in to this one. First of i just want to say that this being B&W was just a bonus. Something i didnt expect really. But the movie was great, a quite interesting story with a Jack Lemmon doing a great role in this one. A fun and serious movie at once, with some smart lines here and there. A movie with great actors, and some great and smart lines (as said) A bit different movie that i would think it would be. But a good mix between comedy and drama (IMO) I really enjoyed it from start to finish. For me, a classic. That i would highly recommand you guys to check out!

My Review:
Meh. I was kinda looking forward to this one, and i have to admit that i had my expactations up a bit, since i've seen the 3 movies before this, and really enjoyed it. But with this one, something was a bit off. The story was a bit dull to be honest, and the movie was a bit too slow for my liking aswell. The movie had its moments (i will give it that) as a single horror movie, it wasnt too bad actually. But looking at the franchise (wich was one of the better horror franchises IMO, 1-3) but this one wasnt quite there. Was too long from each moment, and looking back at the others, it was more stuff going on. "better acting" And i read your review of this one aswell 'Movieman' and i agree with alot of what you are saying. For me, it wasnt all bad, it had its moments. But personally, i think its enough with 4 movies. Stop "when tey are on top" but by looks of things, i think there will be a movie number 5 aswell. Dont know if thats a good or a bad thing. If you liked and have watched the 3 movies before this, give it a shot for a cheap penny.

My Review:
Well, so that was an interesting movie. I got this cheap in a 3D pack. And i've heard stuff about it, but never seen it. The movie had a ok story. Had me laugh a few times. But for me personally, the movie was a bit too slow at times, and some of the things was just out of place IMO. And there was a few things i didnt like thar much either. A few missed opportunities IMO. They could have done a bit more in some places. And for the 3D aspect of it all. There was a few good spots, where they did a real good job. (when some of the stuff was raining from the sky) But for the depth of the 3D, not the best i've seen. All in all, an ok movie, with some ok 3D effects. If you find it for a cheap penny, check it out.
Nothing i would pay full price for anyways.

My Review:
So i've wanted to start on the Hitchcock boxset now for awhile. And there is a few great movies in this blurayset that i've both seen and not seen. (A.Hitchcock is\was one of my favourites) So i started with a movie that i havent seen before, but heard alot of great things about. I liked what they did with the movie, a bit different story, but it had me glued to the screen from start to finish. And even tho it didnt happen' much in the movie, they managed somehow to both keep the suspence trough out, and you (me) didnt know what would happen. Great mix between suspence and drama, and well played by the cast. And since i havent seen it before now on blu. I cant say anything about the DVD format or anything. But i really liked the bluray, great picture quality and sound quality for its age. Once again a masterpiece from Hitchcock IMO. Another movie i recommand you guys to check out. Just a few minor things they could have done a bit better, but all in all a great movie IMO.

One of my fav Hitchcock films. Right there with the macabre humor of "Trouble with Harry" or off beat of "The Wrong Man". And 1949 to me was really about the start of his *vision*. Had done good films recently before but was really maturing.
Great flick

My Review:
So, before i write about the movie, i just want to say something. 'So i guess, that was that huh?' I know the movie have "won" or shall we say "gotten" a few razzies etc, because how bad it was etc. And i'll admit that the movie isnt the best written movie, or Oscar worthy acting all the time. But for some reason i actually enjoy the 'Twilight Saga' its an ok 2 hours spent IMO. The story was how i thought it would be, and the story was allright too IMO, it kinda fit right in there. And i actually liked what they did with it, the sound was good, the picture quality wasnt too bad either. And i have to admit that (even tho i know many dont) i kinda got a crush on Kristen Stewart :-[
And that helps a bit too. For you twilightfans out there, this is ofc a must have. (if you havent seen it alllready) and for you guys that are sceptical about 'Twilight' and havent seen any of them yet. Give'em a try You might enjoy some of them. :)

But I too enjoyed the whole series. Like many films, especially *teen angst* films, what do people expect? It ain't To Have and Have Not (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Have_and_Have_Not_(film)) nor Key Largo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Largo_(film)) but they are good passable love stories and fun twists on the Vampire/Werewolf (where wolf) genre.
The Twilight film series has grossed over $2billion and that is a lot of tickets. An i would be willing to bet that the majority of those theater goers enjoyed the films they saw. THAT is a great task ... more than the folks at Rotten Tomatoes have ever accomplished <G>
Yep ... lot of fun. That reminds me that I have to start looking for bargins on the last 2 films ... thanks

The Twilight film series has grossed over $2billion and that is a lot of tickets.To be honest box office doesn't equal quality... it just means that a movie spent a huge ammount of money in marketing.
If that was the case that would meant that :
- The soundtrack of The Bodyguard is the 4th best album of all time,
- ...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears is the 20th best album of all time,
- Backstreet's Back by the Backstreet Boys is the 33th best album of all time,
- Millennium by the Backstreet Boys is the 34th best album of all time,
- Spice by the Spice Girls is the 36th best album of all time,
- etc...
See sales or popularity rarely equal quality...

Well, that was interesting. I hadnt seen or heard much about this movie before. And when i found this offer, i thought why not? The movie itself is ok, got a cute story, with some funny lines here and there. And i liked the most of what they have done with the movie. But not the greatest animated movie i've seen. But when you watch it in 3D, (wich i did) its just so amazing! What they have done with the 3D efects on this one, is just breathtaking some places in the movie. One of the better 3D movies i've seen actually. For the animated movie itself without 3D, i wouldnt recommand it so highly. But its highly recommaned to check this 3D flick out! Its just amazing!

My Review:
Well, that was the last movie in the 3D offer i got a while back. And to be honest, i didnt expect too much from this movie, didnt hear much about it etc. But i got finally around to check it out today. Was real interested to check out both the movie and the 3D efect, compared to the 2 other movies. And i have to start of by saying that i see what they was trying to do, both with the story in the movie. And with the script. And with the 3D efects (depts, popouts) BUT however. (for me personally) I couldnt go much more wrong. The story was 'a bit typical' the lines was akward at times, and it didnt feel 'right' some of the things were a bit too rushed. And there wasnt ONE moment i actually 'LOL'D' in the movie. There was a few places it made me smile, but thats about it. (unfortunatly) To make it work for me, they would have done alot of things different. Starting with the story and the manus. And for the 3D side of things. To be complete honest with you guys, that wasnt that many of them. A few ok depts shot, a few popouts. But thats about it. For me, unfortunatly this is a movie that i will forget quite soon. A movie that really dissapointed me. A movie that i wouldnt recommand you guys to check out. Skip it. There is alot better out there IMO.

My Review:
Going in to this one, i didnt expect too much really. I heard alot of great things about it. But didnt much many trailers etc. And i have to say that it was worth it. The movie was a great movie, with a solid performance by the leads. And the story caught me, i was glued to the tv. (And since its based on a true story) its not much you can do i guess. And the fact that the movie is based on a true story and from MM is just a big plus IMO. And it was nice to see Emma Watson aswell, even though her role wasnt that big. This movie was just a strong movie from the start to finish, a solid performance by Michelle Williams, and those behind the scenes\camera's did a good job aswell. But speaking of that, the sound quailty of this blu wasnt the best i've seen. They could have done a bit better there. And just a few small things they could have done better. But all in all, a great movie, that i recommand you guys to check out. IMO its worth the 99minutes of your time.

My Review:
Ah, this small bugdet movie, with a fairly unknow 'Jennifer Lawrence' in the lead (at the time) just came out of nowhere a few years ago, and blew me away. This dark movie with a sad story, about a young girl on the look after her father, in need to save whats left of her family and house. Even though it didnt happen alot of stuff all the time, the movie had its great mix between its suspence and drama trough out. I was glued (once again) to the tvscreen trough out the movie. And Jennifer Lawrences performance in this movie was just amazing. (Well worth the Oscar nom IMO) I'm starting to be a bigger and bigger fan of her. Just an amazing actress IMO. And the people behind the cameras too, with the sound, the light's etc. Just fit the mood and the movie perfectly. A small movie, but a great movie IMO. A movie that i really enjoy watching. One of the better movies i've seen in quite awhile. And its ofcourse highly recommanded to check this out!

My Review:
Well, that was fun! I didnt know what to expect about this one really. Since the original cast wasnt in it. The movie starts of in a cool way, a 'tribute' or what i shall call it to the original Bourne movies. The movie got a good and strong story, that keeps me glued to the tv, you didnt know what would happen here and there. There was alot of good actionscenes wich you need to have in a Bourne movie. They have been able to mix both the suspence and action trough out the movie. I was wondering what would happen' next. And i liked Jeremy Renner in this one. I think he did a solid job. Just a solid performance from him and Rachel Weisz. And i really liked the sound and picture quality in this aswell. All in all, a real good actionflick. But there was a few minor details they could have done a bit better IMO, and that they didnt have some of the orignial cast members in this one was a bit negative aswell for me. Atleast i hoped we would see Matt Damon (not only in pictures) but a great movie, with a great story. And if you have watched the 3 Bourne movies before this one. I highly recommand to check this one out! You wont regret it imo!

So, that was a interesting movie actually, with a strong story. A movie about both what happens 'in war' and about politics IMO.

My Review:
Well, to be honest.. I'm actually lost for words. I remember watching the first movie, and i thought that wasnt good enough either. But since i found the Pirahna 2 on cheap cheap sale, i thought i give it a shot. And wow, what a shiitake mushroomty movie (sorry to be blunt) but wow. The story, the visual efects. The acting, wow. And what about David Hasselhoff? Is he 'that' broke, that he would do almost whatever to get some money? Well, i'm sorry to say it. but this mix between "horror, pornwannabe and comedy" it didnt work for me at all. And if they would make a movie number 3, i wouldnt watch it. Well, for me.. Skip it.

My Review:
I'm not going to say too much about this really. Because 007 will always be 007. Heard only great things about this one. (The best Bond movie ever made etc, Daniel Craig is the best Bond in ages) And the movie killed it at the boxoffices. And i have to agree on alot of things. Great movie, with a real good story. Great cast. And i really liked what they did with it, And the people behind the cameras did a great job too. Skyfall is one of the better Bond movies i've seen actually. Its up there with Casino Royale, and some of the older classics. And i actually think Daniel Craig is doing a good job as 007. And i just have to say what an interesting ending to the movie. I'm looking forward to check out the next Bond movie. This is ofcourse highly recommanded to check out! :)

THE BANK JOB is inspired by an extraordinary true event - a daring robbery that took place in the 70s, with a haul valued higher than that of the Great Train Robbery. Yet almost as soon as the 'Walkie Talkie Bank Job' happened, a gagging order was placed on the story and it disappeared completely from the media. Only now, over 30 years later, has the fascinating story come to light and the truth behind a right royal scandal been exposed. Directed by Roger Donaldson (The Recruit, Species), THE BANK JOB reveals an amazing backstory where for once the criminals were the most innocent ones involved. Starring Jason Statham (The Transporter, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea) and David Suchet (TV's Poirot), this is a highly charged thriller and an immensely enjoyable Brit-flick in one.

That was a allright movie actually, with a interesting story that i didnt know about (based on a true story happend in England in the early 70's.) Its always nice to learn about those kind of things. And i liked how they did the actually 'job' and how people turned some of the things around. A movie that i think was well done actually. And what can you say about Jason Statham? Statham will always be Statham iguess. A movie i think they got alot out of. A movie that i recommand you people to check out.

What a great movie this is really. The movie got a real good story with a lot of suspence in it. And the story is simple really, what are you willing to do, to protect something that are real close to you? Someone are willing to do whatever it takes. And someone just have a masterplan all along. Even though nothing much happens in the movie (most of the stuff, happens inside\outside the bank) the whole movie trough out. But even tho, they made it work great. With some good mix between action and alot of suspence, you was just wondering, 'what will happen next' ? And i really enjoyed the journey they put us trough. And with a real strong cast aswell, this is a real good movie IMO. A good Denzel Washington and a good Jodie Foster. A movie that i highly recommand you guys to check out. A good 2hours of entertainment.

This 4th movie in the pack, is one of my favourite in the series (so far) just got a great story, that had me glued to the tv trough out. Got some good chases. And there happend some important stuff aswell, that they touched in 'Fast Five' and they build on the story too. Got some good action scenes aswell. And i really enjoyed the visual efects too (some of the better i've seen in the franchise) and with this movie, they take it back a bit to where it all starts. Its a bit orignal wich is good. And i think they got a cast that works well together. Overall a real good movie. And a franchise that i highly recommand you guys to check out!

Well, the last movie (so far in the seires out on blu) Its not a bad movie at all. But the story is a bit different than the 'originals' and with 5 movies i get that. The story was good. But i wouldnt mind to see more chases (we got a few good chases) but should be a bit more. Since thats what the movies are about. But its an entertaining movie, alot of action happening all the time. Some real good spots here and there. (well done!) And 'The Rock' is in this movie. And since i've been a lifelong WWE fan, thats always cool to see 'former' wwesuperstars make it to the big screen. And i think the cast did a great job again, working well together. And the ending of this movie was very interesting. Looking forward to see how they will play that out in the 6th. All in all, a great franchise, and this movie is a good movie. Wich i recommand you guys to check out!

So, that was fun kinda. The movie could remind me a bit of 'Inside Man' in some places. Liked the story in the movie. A story about some bankrobbers, trying to do a real big heist. But as the movie goes on, and the time goes. Nothing is really what it looks like. A few good action scenes. Alot of great suspence from the start, all the way to the end. And i have to say that there was a cool twist in the movie aswell. That you kinda didnt see coming. Wich was nice. And the cast didnt do the best of jobs. But ok. You kinda know what you'll get from Statham anyways. All in all, this was a good thriller\suspence movie that i recommand you guys to check out! I think you would enjoy it!

My Review:
Going in to this movie, i didnt really know what to expect. I've heard alot about this movie (and i havent gotten around to watch it before now) heard some great things. And some not that great things. And i have to be honest. I liked the movie. It was enjoyble. Alot of stuff happening. Interesting story. And Angie speaking with a English accent. And Johnny being Johnny. And even tho it was a good thriller, it made me laugh a few places in the movie. And that never hurts. And i liked what they did with this really. But (i guess) with the cast, and with those two big leads. I guess i expected a bit more from them. I think there was a few things they could have done a bit better. And there was a few other minor things. But other than that. A good spythriller really. A movie that i would recommand you guys to check out.

My Review:
Well, that was actually a good ScFi flick, a bit different flick but a good one. I like the concept of the movie. I did. Cool thought that you had to buy everything with time etc. And there was a few things happening trough out the movie that kept me to the screen. And you didnt know halfway trough how it would end. And i think actually Timberlake did a good job as the lead. All in all, a good scifi movie with a cool and different story. A movie that i would recommand you guys to check out! Was good entertaiment.

My Review:
This was a blindbuy again actually. I just saw that 'Stonecold' had the lead. And as the lifelong WWE i am, i had to check it out. The movie is a typical action movie. With a man on a mission. A father\husband out to seek revenge for his dead family. The movie is very straight forward. A few good fight scenes. And some good scenes here and there. But you kinda knew how the thing would end. And the acting could have been better i guess. But they did an ok job, with what they got i guess. Not the best action movie i've seen. But not the worst either. I would recommand it, if you found it for a cheap penny. And if you are a WWE fan. Or a 'Stonecold' fan.

So after watching 'Castle' a few nights ago. I decided i wanted to check it out. I dont remember seeing it before. And i have to say i really enjoyed the movie trough out. It had a cool story.

Was even better then. I am glad i'm not the only one that enjoy 'Castle' on this forum! :)

I have all the seasons on DVD...I have the books by Richard Castle that have been published.. I have most of this season still on my DVR and I've already watched some of the episodes a few times.
Post by: Piffi on April 05, 2013, 11:50:46 AM
And i really think Stana (Kate) is a great actress. And as you say about Rick, how he get wrapped up in stuff. And still got his innerchild.
And then you got Kate, wich (was) the complete opposite. I have the seasons aswell. BUT when it comes to the books (novels) i dont have them.
But i've only heard great things about them (at the Castleforum) i dont know if you are there or not. Are the books worth the money?

But there are other very good shows on. In fact watched the first episode of 'Hannbal' last night and it was pretty good. Also, last week was the 2nd episode of 'The Bates Motel'. Freddie Highmore is doing a great job losing his mind :). There are some good mysteries and comedies. Some pretty good bits out of the states like 'Murdoch Mysteries' and 'Doctor Blake Mysteries'.
Overall there is way too much good tv to try/watch <G>. Though Bones has slipped a lot.

My Review:
Well, that was.. I dont know really. I guess i had my expactions set a bit too high for this one maby. The movie had a sad and dark story. And with the story and Julia Roberts in the lead. I thought this would be a great thriller. But for me personally the movie didnt really 'take off' it had its moments here and there. And a interesting story. But i guess i expected more from Julia Roberts. And the movie was a bit too slow here and there. But other than that. It was an ok thriller. It had its moments. But i guess they could have done just a bit more than they did with it. A movie that if you find it for a cheap penny, check it out. You might like it.

My Review:
A movie about a innocent girl that get kidnapped because she is a wonderkid, and knows about every numbers etc by heart. And on the other side of the world, there is a poor\sorryass man. With nothing to live for. And somehow the worlds collide. And the movie is about 'Luke' a poor man that lost it all, trying to keep this wonderkid alive. While chased by dirty cops, mobsters etc. The story was interesting enough. And alot of stuff happend trough out the movie. And there was some ok fight scenes, and some good actions scenes. So i'll give the movie that. But again, the acting wasnt the best i've seen. There was a few things that just was a bit off to me. And the some of the story just seemed a bit off. And then you got Statham as the big actionhero. Nothing very special really. Just the same old. All in all, an ok actionflick. A movie that you could check out if you find it for a cheap penny.

My Review:
That was a good movie actually. A bit different story, wich is always a good thing. And i really liked what Neeson and the rest of the crew did with this. Not a dull moment trough out the movie. Interesting to see how people react and do, when they are stranded in the middle of nowhere. And they have to fight the wilderness and wolfs etc to survive. They pulled some of it of just great. With some great effects, but there was some spots in the movie that was not beliveble at all. I mean, kill a wolf with your bare hands? Really? They should have made those parts a bit more credible. And i just have to say that the 'Alaska' nature and the scenery was just beautiful. And the i just have to say a quick word about the sound quailty in this one. Wow! Amazing sound. And some ok extras.
A movie that i recommand you guys to check out. A few spots here and there dragged the movie down a bit. Other than that, a great movie IMO.

Ah, that was a great cop movie! Unexpected good actually. I didnt even know about this one, before i watched a trailer of it, from a movie i watched just a few weeks ago. I really love what they did with this one. Mix between handheld cameras and "regular" filming. Making it more 'real' and the story. I'm not going to say too much about that. That speak for itself. But i really liked Jake Gyllenhaal in this one. Did a great job IMO. And they had a allright crew behind him. And the nonstop action trough out the movie helped alot too, There wasnt a boring moment really in this one. Just a cool actionflick actually! A movie that i highly recommand you guys to check out!

I've only heard great things about this movie. And got it recommanded by many. And i've had it in my unwatched pile for ages. And now i finally got around to watch it. And not a second to soon. What a movie it was! I actually loved it. Almost everything from the cast (and i have to say) A young Nat. Portman did a great job in this one! And it had a sad story really. But how they played it all, him the ruthless hitman. She loses her family (or should i say brother?) in a tragic way. And all she wants is revenge. And its a great but sad journey we follow really. And they make you follow every single bit of it. This was a real great actionflick. Who almost had it all. There was a few things in the movie that will put it down from a perfect 6. But other than that. This (IMO) is a classic. A movie that ofcourse is highly recommanded! And it looked great on bluray aswell! (I cant compare it to dvd) since this was my first watch. All in all a masterpiece IMO!

My Review:
I got interested in this movie after reading about it in my 'Top 500 movies' in Empire magazine. And ofcourse they had only great things to say about it. And for me, i agree with alot they had to say about the movie. I didnt know what to expect really, since i hadnt watch any trailers etc of the movie. But the movie is just great. With a sick\weird story. And of course one of the lead in this movie is haunting the myth 'Candyman' and first she doesnt belive in the myth. But then something happens, and she starts to belive in it. And then everyone around her belive she's crazy ofc. And the way they made that work was just brilliant. And even tho' you dont see much details of what happening, and not alot of gore and blood. You kinda see whats been done to them. And the mix between that and some grapich scenes makes it very good. They had a real good balance between the 'grose' scenes and what you had to imagne what happend. And the mix between suspence and the horror was also great. And can i just say that the people who made the music in this movie, did a perfect job. The music and the sound effects was fitting just perfectly. But there was a few minor things for me that happend in the movie that will drag it down from a perfect score. But all in all, a real great horrormovie that i highly recommand you guys to check out! And the HD was also amazing IMO. Both the picture and sound quality was great! For me, this is a must have for you horrorfans out there.

My Review:
This was a movie that i was looking forward to check out actually. Both because i usually like Brad Pitt's work, and i really like the mafia\gangster genre. And with the cast in this movie i expected me a bit too much i guess. The story wasnt too original (but you cant expect that anymore) So i'm fine with that. But something was missing for me. For the movie and the story of it. The movie was a bit too slow. And a few missed opportunites. And as Brad Pitt in this. Well, i think he could have done a bit more with it. As could everyone else. But its not all bad. The movie had its moments. It did. And there was some good spots here and there. But for a 'mafia\gangster' movie it wasnt the best i've seen. But IMO if you dont have any expactions going in. You might like it. I recommand you to check it out, if you find it for a cheap penny. I guess i expected more from the cast and crew in this one. Thats all. But still an ok movie.

My Review:
So, after watching 'The Oscars' and seeing trailers etc of this movie. I decided i had to check it out. And i'm just more and more a fan of Jennifer Lawrence's work! And after she won 'The Oscar' for the leading part. That did it. And i guess i kinda had some expactations going in to this movie. With the buzz around it. But what a movie it was! A movie that was both real strong with a strong story. But also a great comedy! With just some perfectly landed lines! And the movie talked about a serious issue with both a light and dark tone. (They mixed it in perfectly!) And for Jennifer's Oscar win.. Let me just say this. Well deserved IMO! Both Robert De Niro and Brad Cooper was amazing aswell! This might just be my favourite movie this year! And ofc, i couldnt recommand it higher!

A good story about the dirty cops in Brazil and Rio. And the work to remove the dirty cops and the dirty people in the suits. And we got to see the war between the honest guys vs the criminals. And i really liked how they did it. Not too much over to the top. A 'kinda real' feel to it. And thats good. But again, there was a few things in the movie that i think was a bit too much. And a few things that i felt didnt belong there. And that drags the movie down a bit. But i would say it was an allright actionmovie with alot of stuff happening. And i would say, if you find it or a cheap penny. Check it out.

My Review:
Well, that was a cool action movie. Going in to this one, i actually had my expactations up a bit. A great cast, and a cool trailer. And i actually have to say that with a interesting\cool story like the movie had. And with both John Travolta and Salma Hayek i expected maby a bit more from them. (i hoped i would see a Travolta in form like we saw in 'From Paris With Love' or Pulp Fiction) but we didnt. But there was a few good spots in the movie, that i really enjoyed. And there was stuff happening all the time. But for me personally, i wouldnt mind if the movie ended at the 2hour mark. It didnt need a 2hr 20min running time IMO. But as a actionflick it did its purpose. Oh, just one thing tho. Whats up with John Travoltas hair?! But for the movie. I would recommand you guys to check it out.

I just have to say that what a movie! I remember i watched this aages ago on dvd when it first came out! And i've wanted to check it out on blu for awhile. And now i finally got the time. And the movie is still as great as i remember it to be! The story got you glued to the screen trough out the movie. The hunt on the treasure. The visual efects etc. Great! An ok cast that did an ok job! And i have to say that they did a great job with the upgrade from DVD to Blu. Well done! A few minor details here and there that i didnt quite 'get' other than that. Almost a perfect movie! Looking forward to check out the movie number 2 in the series sometime! And this is ofcourse highly recommanded to check out!

My Review:
So i just watched this one, and the follow up with two good friends of mine. Just going to write a quick review of them both before going to bed. This movie is actually a good movie. A movie about rich people getting what they want. Poor people pretending to be rich. And people that get mixed up in some bad buisness and some real bad people. And need to make his choises there after. And this Swedish movie takes us on a good journey, of both money, greed, jealousy. Murder, betrayl. A few good spots in the movie actually. Some good acting here and there. A good story, that they did good things with. But (for me) the movie went on a bit too long. And it was slow in some places. And there was some spots in the movie that i didnt have a clue why even was there. (Maby thats just me) But all in all, a good Swedish action movie. That i recommand you Scandinavias out there to check out.

And for the second movie in this 'series' was a good follow up actually. You get to follow some of the main characters from the first movie. After everything that happend in the first one. And it makes for a good and real interesting movie. The plot is strong. The acting is a bit better than last time. And this movie answers a few quastions. And take some of the characters in some places and situations they have never been before. (Quite good actually) Again a good action movie mixed with some good suspence. A movie that i again recommand for all the Scandinavians out there. Thats it for now guys.

My Review:
Well, that was actually an allright horror movie. A good story, some ok acting. They made it look very 'real' like it actually was amateurs just playing around with a camera. And alot of crazy shiitake mushroom happend in those woods! So for the movie itself, it was a good one! BUT for a blu-ray, (i havent seen the DVD, so cant say anything) but the picture quality was bad for a bluray. No HD, no widescreen. And the sound? Well, blarh. So for you guys that have the DVD i wouldnt upgrade it i guess (dont know what i'm talking about really) but it wasnt real 'bluray' quality over this. But still a good horrorflick. A horrorflick that you guys should check out. With some cool extras aswell!

While Blair Witch's concept isn't original, they did execute it well and it was quite eerie in parts. Very few concepts are still original these days. So sure, The Last Broadcast did almost exactly the same few years before and of course Cannibal Holocaust came "decades" before that (are there earlier examples...?).
I should rewatch Blair Witch to see how it holds up for me.

BUT for a blu-ray, (i havent seen the DVD, so cant say anything) but the picture quality was bad for a bluray. No HD, no widescreen. And the sound? Well, blarh.It's a "found footage" film where the protagonists use a 16mm camera(?), bad image quality simply comes with the territory... Similar movies made later on could give the characters digital HD cameras, so we have come to expect better image quality...

Well, going in to this movie i didnt know much really. Just heard great things about it. And i have to say, the movie was a bit different that i expected it to be. But in my humble opinion this was a great action\suspence movie. A interesting story\plot. A lot of things happening in this movie, so you cant move away for a second, you will miss something. Something new happening in a every corner. Wich is always great. But at the same time, you was wondering, 'whats next' and with both Rosamund Pike (wich was nice to see again btw!) and Tom Cruise in good form. It was a great mix. A movie that i would watch again. And a movie that i truly enjoyed. I think they could do the ending a bit better. But thats just me. But all in all, a great actionflick. That i recommand you guys to watch! (And i'm not even a fan of Tom Cruise)

I saw what they tried to do with the whole thing. With a good story. And the movie had its moments here and there. But for me, to make this a great movie. It had too many flaws in the story and the plot. But the movie told a story loud and clear. And i got that. But for the movie all in all. Its an avarge action\suspence movie. Check it out for a cheap penny. Not a movie i would pay full price for.

My Review:
So this one too i've been watching in between things. A match here, a match there etc. And for this dvdset i have to admit that i was a bit dissapointed. Every wrestlingfan knows about the 'WM streak' and the legend knows as 'Undertaker' so i hoped\thought maby that we would get more 'interviews' or some more of the story behind it all. But all we got from that was some of his 'Victims' as they called them. But for the matches in this one. There are some incredible matches. (Maby even the greatest match to date?) So thats always nice. But i guess they could do a bit more on this. But again, for wrestling fans. I would recommand you guys to check it out. You might like it.

In May of 1941, RKO Radio Pictures released a controversial film by a 25-year-old, first-time director. That premiere of Orson Welles' 'Citizen Kane' was to have a profound and lasting effect of the art of motion pictures. It has been hailed as the best American film ever made, and it's as powerful a film today as it was fifty years ago. It earned eight Academy Award nominations and won the Oscar for Best Screenplay.
Through its unique jigsaw-puzzle storyline, inventive cinematography, brilliant ensemble acting, and direction by Welles, the story of Charles Foster Kane is a fascinating portrait of America's love of power and materialism, and the corruption it sometimes fosters. Like all great films, 'Citizen Kane' is a memorable fusion of cinematic art and marvellous entertainment.

My Review:
Going in to this movie i didnt know much. Watched the trailer, and heard some different stuff about it. So i tried to keep my expactations low. And i have to say what a masterpiece of a movie it was! I didnt know much about the story or anything. And it kinda blew me away. Everything from the story and plot of the movie. To the people behind the cameras. It was (for me) perfectly done! A B&W movie, from the 'early' days. And i did pull it of perfectly! I dont have much else to say then what a masterpiece! A movie that i cant recommand any higher! A movie that i will watch again and again!

I really like Citizen Kane and I have a lot of respect for what it has done for cinema and how great it is from a technical aspect, but IMO, this drags quite badly. I much prefer Welles in The Third Man and A Touch of Evil.

My Review:
Wow.. i've heard great things about this one. But didnt see any trailers, didnt know what it was about. But they have a supersale on new movies at one of the local stores here. And i decided why not. And going in to this one, knowing nothing. I have to just say first off, what a great movie! A movie that is based on a true story. A great story that is. A real great cast, that worked really well together. Always anything happening in the movie. And for me its interesting to see how the 'good cops' work against the 'bad cops' and the mob. To get a sivil and legal country. And its interesting to see how much power the gangsters have, both over police, judges, all kinds of people they got in theire pockets. And i kinda got 'this is the real deal' vibe. For me, just a perfect gangster movie really. For me, i cant recommand it any higher!

I have to agree with both Gunnar and Dave! (Can i call you Dave?) Its one of the better movies i've seen in quite a while.To quote the great Ray J. Johnson ... " "My name is Raymond J. Johnson, Jr. Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Junior; now you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr. but you doesn't hasta call me Johnson!"
And i wouldnt see a 'reboot' of it. Dont think they could do it any justice.
Or another comedians take (who i can't remember) "You can call me anything ... just don't call me late for dinner"

After watching and enjoying the first two movies in this 'series' i decided i had to check this one out aswell. And aswell as the first movies, i liked the first best. For alot of reasons. But this movie was allright. Not the most original storyline\plot. But some cool car chases. And some great actionscenes. And the movie had its moments here and there. And after watching this movie, i have to wonder if there will be a movie number 4?! All in all, its a fun and cheap entertainment. If you enjoyed the first 2 movies. You should check this one out aswell. And some cool extras aswell, wich is well worth checking out.

My Review:
So, after hearing alot of great things about this one. And picking up 2 Oscars (i think it was) and seeing the trailer. I had to watch. And today me and some friends checked it out. And where to start? The story\plotline was catching. Had me glued to the tv trough out the movie. Something happening all the time. If you looked away, you missed something. And the crew? Wow, amazing job by most of them. And what to say about Jamie Foxx? Great! So was Leo IMO. And what is a Tarantino movie without some great blood scenes? Was a few of them aswell. (wich is a must in a Tarantino movie!) That mixed with some comedy here and there. And that with the music they used in some of the scenes. Perfect! I really really loved this movie actually! They just pulled it of perfectly! Its on my top 3 list of best watched movies this year. A movie that i cant recommand any higher really! Check it out!

Finally i found some time between work and all the other stuff going on these days. Havent had time to watch anything lately :\ But this was a movie i really wanted to check out. And i enjoyed the two first movie in this series. But this one.. It was disapointing in alot of places. The story was not to original (and it didnt have anything to do with the 2 first movies at all!) And that was a shame IMO. And a few flaws here and there. BUT if you look away from that, and you see this movie for the first time (and havent seen the 2 first movies) It does an ok job for the horror part in it tho. A good gore movie. A few cool scenes here and there. Alot of blood, and some zombies. For the horror (sure) check it out for a cheap penny. But if you only want to check it out because you want to see how it connects with the two first movies. Dont bother. All in all, not the worst or the best horror movie i've seen.

My Review:
That was interesting i have to say. I didnt hear much about this one, before i watched the trailer a while back and it looked real good. But the movie for me never took really off unfortunatly. This was a movie with a a-team like cast. And it was good to see them again. But i've seen them better. And the story was interesting enough. But a much different movie that i thought it would be. A good movie if you like politics and that route. I'm not going to paint it all black. Because the movie had its moments here and there, and with some good lines too. But for me i guess with the names on the list. I expected a bit more from it. All in all this was an ok drama\thriller. A movie that you can check out (IMO) if you find it for a cheap penny somewhere. I wouldnt pay full buck for it.

So me and some good friends watched this last night. And after only hearing good things about it, i was looking real forward to it. And what a movie it was! The movie about the biggest manhunt in the history. And what they did with the movie was just amazing. For me it was real interesting to see how they all worked "behind the scenes" with it all. Makes me think about how much really happening out there, that we never know about. A movie that was real intense and suspenceful trough out the movie. And the cast aswell. With Jessica Chastain in the lead did a great job! Was only a few minor things that i quastioned about the movie. But since its based on the true story i guess thats ok. This movie was almost a pure masterpiece. They did almost everything correct. This a movie that everyone should check out IMO.

My Review:
After having this in my unwatched pile for ages. A friend recommanded me to watch it. So now i finally got around to do so. He really enjoyed it. And it had my interest too since the cast had some allright names to it. And for the movie itself. It wasnt anything too spectacular IMO. The story wasnt that original (but again, what is these days in movies?) But they did the best of it, and IMO made the most out of it. And it had its moments here and there with some good actions scenes. And with a crew that worked good together i think. And some good sounds efects here and there. With a real good sound trough out the thing. Thats always a big plus IMO. All in all, an -ok- way to spend 1.5hrs before bedtime. Not a movie i would recommand you guys to pay full buck for. But if you find it for a cheap penny, check it out. You might enjoy it.

A deadly error throws Miller's "perfect life" into a tailspin, raising the suspicions of a detective (Tim Roth) and threatening the future of his financial empire.

My Review:
Well, this was actually a blind buy, i didnt know about this movie before seeing on sale here the other day. And it had my interest. And its good and refreshing to see Richard Gere in a lead role outside the 'chickflick' genre. And this is only the second movie i've seen him in outside 'Chickflick' genre. And i have to say that i really liked him in this one. I think he did a decent job here. And for the movie itself, it was a allright suspence\thriller movie with a good story to it. Got some great spots and moments in the movie. Things happening almost all the time. Not so many boring moments trough out the movie. Wich can sometimes be the case with the 'typical suspence\thriller' genre. But i think they pulled it off good! A decent movie that they did the most out of. And Richard Gere did a good job too. Its was nice to see him as a 'badguy' This is a movie that you should check out. All in all, a decent suspence\thriller. Not the worst but not the best either.

My Review:
Going in to this movie i didnt know what to expect really. I heard alot about this. Almost only good things. And i remember watching 'The Marine 1 & 2' and i thought the number 1 wasnt any good. And the number 2.. Not much better. But i had to check this one out aswell. And it was a bit different then i thought it would be. The story wasnt anything special. But they made it work ok i think. The cast with 'The Miz' as the lead did an ok job. Alot of fighting and shooting scenes. A movie that hadnt anything to do with the two first movies. (So if you want to watch this one, but havent watched the others. sure) Its just simple an 'ok' action flick. With a lot of good ol' action scenes. And i just have to say something about the picture quality in this movie. WOW, just amazing! Stunning actually. They did a great job there. All in all, an ok way to spend 1.5 hours if you are bored, and like shooting and fighting. (Or WWE) and like to follow they're stars on the "big screen"

My Review:
So, after having this in my unwatched pile for ages. For some reason i dont know. A good friend of mine asked if she could borrow it and check it out. And she could (even tho i rarely let people borrow my movies) And after she was finished with it, she recommanded it big time. So now right before i'm heading to bed, i decided to give it a try. And man what a great movie it actually was! Great cast filled with almost only big names. A story that was\is a bit different that i'm used to these days. Thats always a good thing. And what they was able (for me that is) to tell with this story was loud and clear really. And we got put trough an intense journey from the start to finish. A race against time to find a cure on a deadly virus before 'the whole world dies' Something happens on every corner. You blink, you've missed it. This was a great suspence\thriller that i highly recommand you to check out, if you havent done it all ready.

The movie did make me a bit......paranoid about germs for a while. I've been a bit cautious for years..but was more so for a while there.

My Review:
Well, that was actually a rather allright Norwegian movie. A catching story. Some interesting characters. Some debut for some of the actors\actresses. Some of them we will prolly see again (The Norwegian people that is) Some great spots and moments in the movie too. Great picture and sound for a Norwegian movie. It had me trough out. It was kinda original in some ways. Wich was nice to see. But it only lasted for 82 minutes, they could have done so much more with 20-30 minutes more i think. But all in all an allright Norwegian movie. Recommanded for you Scandinavians out there.

My Review:
Well, to be honest. This was kind of a blind buy. Only reason i bought this one, was because of the Norwegian actress that was in it. Wich i like. And it says 'Horror\ScI-Fi'. And i see what they tried to tell with the movie. But for me, they failed. The story was interesting enough, but they could have done so much more with it. And being a 'horror' flick. The scary parts.. Where were they? And the acting. I've seen better. Some of them tried tho. All in all this "horror" flick was dissapointing really. A movie that i wont watch again.

Well, that was a real great movie actually with a catching story. Lot of good spots trough out the movie. A few good lines aswell. And Gene Hackman made a great performance as the lead charcater too. Great work by the people behind the camera too in this one. Great editing, great writing. But for the blu-ray. The picture and sound quilty wasnt that good. I havent seen the dvdversion. So i cant compare it. But for a bluray, they should have done better IMO. But to make things better, this special edition had a own disc only for specials features and some real good extras. This is a real good actionthriller. Highly recommanded to check it out!

Well Friedkin changed the colour timings etc but the cinematographer did speak out about it. You can download the interview here: http://hollywood-elsewhere.com/images/column/3109/roizman.mp3
It has been re-released as a remastered version is America, but I've not viewed that disc.

I own the remastered version, which is supposedly approved by Friedkin and Roizman.The 2009 edition on blu? If it is the one you talk about the transfer is awfull, one of the worst blu ever release. They have re-released it with a much better HD transfer last year, so if it's the one you own you are fine.

And the more Michael tries to undo the damage, the more he's up against forces that put corporate survival over human life – including Michael's.

Well, that was a great ride. As some of you might know (from my reviews etc) i am a big fan of Mr.Clooney's work, both in front of the camera and behind. And this movie was no exception.

A lot of great moments trough out. And a cool twists a little more then half way trough. Again great work from Geroge Clooney as 'Michael Clayton' this was a great suspence\thriller.

My Review:
Well, this is a Norwegian movie again from my unwatched pile. A comedy that was talked about in the media in Norway alot. And i finally got around to watch a few movies this weekend. Some reviews are allready up, and some will come. And this movie had actually some real funny moments where it made me LOL. A fun and akward story. And this poor "15 year" old girl from a town with only a few people living. Are both horny and sick and tired of her town. And with that combo alot of weird stuff happens trough out the movie. Some real funny and akward moments, and some cute moments. I guess we follow this 15 year old girls journey in life. In a small town and stuff going against her. And wanting to movie and do stuff with her life. All in all, an allright Norwegian comedy. A comedy that i recommand you Norwegians out there to check out.

My Review:
That was a rather entertaining movie. A typical "oldschool Travolta actionflick" a story that wasnt anything too original. But they made it work. Alot of cool moments with John Travolta and Hugh Jackman. And a hot Halle Berry isnt wrong either. Lot of good moments here with Travolta i would say. Its good to see the 'old' Travolta. I think the 'oldschool' Travolta is best. And ofc what is a oldschool actionflick with out wild car cashes and some wild shooting and explotions? Well, all in all this was a fast paced actionflck, with something happening all over the place. This movie was a fun 1.5 hours. A movie that i recommand you guys to check out.

My Review:
So i finally got some time on my hands on a Monday to get around to watch a movie. Between all the other shiitake mushroom that's being going on the past year. And this is a movie i've had for a quite a while but for some reason never seen it. Even tho i like both Clooney and Gosling. The story was ofc politics, who screws who. Who will end up being the big dog in the end. But the way the story was played IMO was genious. Kudos to the people behind the cameras and the cast. Mr.Clooney did a great job again (almost as always) And Ryan Gosling did a great job too. It was a tense movie alot of the time. Something was going to happen, just had that feeling. And how things played aswell, good. This is a politic movie that i actually really enjoyed. Great from start to finish. And with some cool extras. That never hurts. A movie that i highly recommand if you like that sort of movie.

My Review:
So, after Marie wrote a review on Iron Man 3 i decided to rewatch the 2 first ones. And I watched this one once it came out (i think it was) but didnt remember much of it. And i decided to rewatch them now, since the 3rd will be out. This was a real cool movie. Great story. The visual efects? Amazing! The sound was amazing aswell. Lot of cool moments here and there. And lot of action too. Not only 'superheros' a great mix between the superheros and "real" action. And the cast worked well together too i think. Was refreshing to see Jeff Bridges as a bad guy. A bald bad guy i might add.And there is a own disc with some real cool special features. All in all this a real good movie. Looking forward to catch up on the second one soon! Recommanded ofcourse! But i guess most of you have seen them allready.

Again a real good and entertaining movie. Great follow up from the first one. I liked the twist and plot in this one. Made for some good action here and there. And the visual efects\special efects are even better in this one. Amazing job by the crew. And i have to say that i like the new characters. Cool to see some of the shield etc. Good job by the cast aswell IMO. And i really think the ending was real good. It can make for some good moments and writing if they do it right in the 3rd movie. This was a fun couple of hours. Just have to say that the sound in this one. WOW! This is ofcourse recommanded if you liked the first one. And i'm looking forward to the 3rd coming out.

Well, after Pete recommanded this movie and give a perfect score. I decided to check it out myself. And what an amazing and warm movie it is. The story is just heartwarming. How they rescue this dolphin, and all the efforts they do to save its life. Its amazing. And that its based on a true story is even more amazing. As Pete said himself, just a feelgood movie, alot of feelgood moments trough out. This is a real great movie, that everyone should watch IMHO.

My Review:
So, after waking up with the worst hangover of the decade i was finally able to watch two movies. Will review one now, and the other tomorrow. So i've heard alot of things about this movie actually. And this was a movie i wanted to watch since it came out. The movie had a strong and great story. Based on a true story! Unreal. And 'The Rock' as the lead in this does IMHO a solid job. The story about a father who's willing to do everything (even get killed) to save his son's future\life. A lot of great moments from The Rock here. He's getting a great actor. This movie was able to keep both the action and the suspence. Wich is good. Some familiar faces too, that i hadnt seen in a long time. A great movie with some great sound. A action\suspence movie that i recommand you guys to check out!

My Review:
Well, this was a movie that i just had to check out. Even though i think its time for John McClane to retire soon. And me being a fan of the earlier Die Hard movies and seen all of them. I had to check this out. And i dont know what to say really. The story was a bit too 'out there' for me. Alot of cool special efects, lot of shooting and lot of things blowing up (ofcourse) and even some funny lines here and there. But thats about it. Bruce didnt look inspired in this one, it looked like he only did it for the money. And thats a shame really. Since i liked the 3 first movies. And he isnt getting any younger. But after what i've seen and heard there will be atleast one more 'Die Hard' movie. (And i can see why the studio does it. Since they bring in the big bucks) but please quit before its too late. All in all not a good movie. Not worthy of the 'Die Hard' But i guess money still talks. If you liked the 'Die Hard' franchise, and have seen the rest. Sure, check it out for a cheap cheap penny. But if not. Not worth it IMHO.

My Review:
This movie was real hyped up in the media over here. Based on the story, the performance by the leads. And for the movie itself, it was a real strong and powerfull movie to watch. Real painful to watch at times. Sad story about some twisted and messed up characters. And the character of Marie Bonnevie is just a disturbed broken woman. And i actually feel real sorry for her. She plays the character to almost a perfect. It was a strong movie with a strong statment. But hard to watch at times. But the cast did an amazing job here IMHO. Its recommanded to check it out for you Scandinavias out there.

So having enjoyed the first 3 Ice Age movies this was a no brainer. But wanted to wait for the 3D blu price to get a bit lower. And now i finally got around to watch it. And the movie had (as always) a cute and fun story. Alot of funny moments trough out the movie. Alot of new charcters! Can i just say that i love Sid's Grandma?! Funny old lady! And Sid too ofc. The movie was both fun, cute and warm. With some real funny lines trough out the movie. So for the movie it was just plain fun. But for the 3D efects. I was a bit disapointed i must say. There was some allright spots here and there. But for a movie like this, they should have done a bit more IMHO. But all in all, if you enjoy the Ice Age movies. This is a must see IMHO!

Ah, that was just amazing. I really enjoyed the two first one aswell. But was really looking forward to check this out, and to see how it would be in 3D. The story was fun and light hearted. Great and real funny lines and moments trough out. The picture quality was amazing aswell as the sound. And the way things ended i'm curious to see if there will be a Madagascar 4.

My Review:
I wanted to check out this movie because of Eric Cantona really. Since he was my hero growing up. (Playing for manutd) and was interested to see how he did on the bigscreen. And i think he did a decent job actually. The movie started of a bit slow, but after 10-20minutes in stuff started to happen. And after that the movie put us trough a intense ride. With some cool bumps and some grapich scenes. And a cool twist aswell. I like what they did with the plot in this one. They made it both suspenceful and actionpacked at once. And an allright performance by the cast. A French movie that. This a good movie that i recommand you to check out.

Well, i remember i bought this cheap on a sale long time ago because the story looked like it could be good. And the trailer was decent. But man, did i think wrong? The story wasnt that original\interesting. The 'scare' moments wasnt there. And the story about the ghosts? Well, come on! A movie with a too slow pace. Nothing much happening. Only a few good moments here and there save this movie from a 1 rating. All in all.. A movie that you shouldnt get IMHO.

Whether acting or directing, Academy Award® -winner Clint Eastwood* (Gran Torino) always manages to make it gritty and keep it real. And it doesn't get more real than this fact-driven thriller starring Eastwood as Frank Morris, the cunning bank robber who masterminded the only successfull escape from Alcatraz's infamous maximum security prison. In 29 years, the seemingly impenetrable federal penitentiary, which housed Al Capone and "Birdman" Robert Stroud, was only broken once - by three men who were never heard from again. Filmed on location at Alcatraz and directed by Clint's frequent collaborator Don Siegel (Dirty Harry), this tough, taut reenactment of the true story has all the intense character study and sheer power that mark Eastwood's finest work.

This is a fascinating movie. Its fascinating to see how desperate people get when they are in bad situastions. And to see what these three people are willing to do to escape this hellhole. And they do it in a spectacular way. Everyone have heard about Alcatraz and how "no one" has ever escaped etc. And i dont know how much of this movie is true (if anything is true) But you are left wondering, 'what happend to those three?' This is a allright way to waste a couple of hours IMO. This is recommanded.

Again a great Jason Bourne movie. They step it up a notch (IMHO) in this one. Again a great story, great acting by Matt as 'Bourne' a few new characters is welcomed. I have to say that i like the 'Pam' character. Good match for Bourne to play against. And ofc again high paced movie, something happening in every corner. And its refreshing to see how they make Bourne always be one step ahead of CIA & co. All in all, i have to say that the Jason Bourne series is just great fun. Great movies so far. Great story, stuff happening all the time. And its a bit out of the ordinary. Looking forward to checking out the 3rd again soon. -Bourne- is ofcourse highly recommanded!

My Review:
So going in to this one, i didnt know what to expect. Would it be a remake of 'The Wizard Of Oz' ? And i would say no really. Some parts reminded me of 'Wizard' but not all. But the movie had a great story. Amazing picture and sound. And the special efects? Wow! Its just amazing. Pure quality from start to finish. For me this movie is highly recommanded!

My Review:
Again a great actionflick. Interesting story to this "mess" its again high paced action in Jason's Bourne hunt to catch the guilty parts. Great performance by Matt Damon again as Jason Bourne. And i like how they "ended" it all. (I cant really say that anymore, since its a movie number 4 out) But the original Jason Bourne saga is one of the better action\suspence series out there IMHO. Perfect mix between action and suspence. And the transfer from DVD to Blu-Ray was real good aswell. Both the picture and sound quality was amazing. Amazing job by both the cast and the people behind the camera. All in all, Bourne is highly recommanded to check out. And a must own for actionfans out there. And the blu-ray set got some cool extras aswell.

My Review:
Well, what to say about this one? Its not the first time i've seen a "gangster" movie between 50 Cent and De Niro. The movie was ok enough i guess. Another movie about dirty cops. And it reminded me a bit of the parts from De Niro and 50 Cent, (when they was playing against each other in Rightous Kill) But i guess i expected more from Robert De Niro in this one. Didnt know what to expect from 50 Cent. It had its moments here and there. But it could have done so much more, atleast when you see the cast. I guess all in all, an ok action\gangster movie. Not a movie i would pay full buck for.

Well, this was a great follow up. The story was a great continuation from the first one. With some new interesting characters. And i just have to say something (being a wrestling fan) 'The Rock' has become a great actor. I liked him in this movie. Again, the story was great. A bit different, but great. A lot of cool special efects again. Real good moments between the cast trough out. Again great picture and sound. And Bruce Willis? I was a bit dissapointed in his part. But for the movie as a sequal and a action\Sci-Fi movie. It delivered IMHO! And it had a interesting ending. Makes me wonder if there will be a third. Or if this is the last one. If you watched\enjoyed the first G.I Joe movie this is a must have\watch! And they have some allright extras aswell.

Well, this is just a great movie. A warm and cute movie. But with some 'sad' moments here and there aswell. But with just a cute story. Its ages and ages since i've seen this one. And its the first time i've seen the blu-ray version. And i didnt remember much of it. But it was an ok transfer i think. And this is just a great movie, a movie for the whole family. Disney is doing an amazing job with their' Cartoons(?) is that the correct word? I dont want to say animated about this. Since its more handdrawn movie. And i really enjoyed this one. Highly recommanded to check it out!

A little late to the party here. But i've had this one in my unwatched pile for ages. Dunno why really. I remember watching 'The A-Team' the tv-show back in the days. And i've always enjoyed the tv-show. And the movie was alot like the good ol' tv-show. Got a cool story. Got some great lines. Made me laugh out here and there. And even tho' the actors did an ok job, i would rather see the originals from the show, play the original characters. But a great action movie. And specially a must have for The A-Team fans out there IMHO. And as a bonus it some good extras aswell.

Interesting story. Not a original story, but they made it with a twist. And that made it alot better for me. Two great performances by both Ben Affleck behind and infront the camera. And ofc by Jermey Renner. I think he did a great part in this. He's done some great stuff 'lately' and this movie is highly recommanded. You wont regret it.

Well, after both Marie and Pete have been watching\review'n the Harry Potter movies, i decided to start watch them again. Been a real long time since i did that. And this movie is a great start to the whole series. (I havent read any of the books, so i cant compare it) But this movie is a great start to this great journey. With a very young Harry Potter, Ron, and Hermine. I almost forgot how young they were when they all started this. The acting wasnt the great (something you have to expect) But we get interduced to some great characters and a great story that will devolp trough out the great journey. Harry Potter is just a great filmseries that is for the whole family. Ofcourse highly recommanded!

For those of us (probably everyone on this forum) who love films and have a great ability to 'suspend disbelief' we can watch with an untainted eye :) The mind is the best producer, director, actors etc there is. I don't think anybody can create a film as great as that we create in our mind from a good read.

...and if you start with the first one, don't give up. It starts particularly eay because the first two are clearly children's books. But she wrote them for a growing generation, so while the first ones are for kids, the latter ones are for (young) adults. But it's 7 books, prepare sufficient time...Thanks.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the longest - Umbridge is even more evil and twisted in the book. Oh how I loathe that character. Anyway..it has something like 875 pages. The first 2 are a little longer than 300 pages...the third is almost 450. Goblet of Fire is almost 750. Half-Blood Prince is about 650 and the final book is about 750. This is based on my copies of the books...I don't know if the versions from other countries vary any in length.

And i would think that the Norwegian books are the same size as the American\English' ones. I'm going to check up with some friends, see if they got some of the books. And i do enjoy the movies. And if the books are better. Well ;) I could always buy them aswell, if the price is right ;)

Well, so i watched this today. And the movie is again one of those "found footage" type of movies. But how they did it, and with the story. They made it look a bit real. Something always happening. And the movie got some real good moments trough out. An for each "moment" they always made you guess what would happen next. I really liked this one. And how they made it look so more real, than some of the other ones. Great job. This was actually a great horror movie. A movie i will add to my horror marathon come October! Highly recommanded to check out.

My Review:
So, we're back at the school. Hermine, Harry Potter & co are getting older. And trying to get a hand on the magic. Still some way to go. And the story is getting a bit darker. But a good story, and a good continuation from the first movie. This might be the longest movie of the series. (Almost 3 hours!) But nonetheless, a great movie. And we see the cast is getting better, and it looks like they are starting to work better together. Anyways, another great Harry Potter movie! This is ofc highly recommanded aswell! And the runtime, (even tho almost 3 hours) you dont notice it)
And i will get to borrow the books from a good friend of the family. Hopefully next week! And then i'll give them a try! :)

Even tho' i'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise, i was interested to check this one out for a few reasons. 1, Tom Cruise in a quite different element then i'm used to see him in. 2, Morgan Freeman. The movie was actually a cool SciFi movie. Great special efects, cool story. And it was nice to see Morgan Freeman again. But I've seen Tom Cruise better. And there was a few spots here and there, that they could have done better. And the movie had amazing sound quality aswell. All in all, a allright ScI-Fi movie. I would recommand you guys to check it out, if you like ScI-Fi.

My Review:
So i've fallen a bit behind on my reviews. I've watched a couple of movies this week. But havent had time to write before now. And this movie i wanted to check because of a few things. 1, Morgan Freeman! 2, it was nice to see Gerard Butler again as a lead character. The movie was a mix between a war movie and a action movie. And i enjoyed it actually. But the story, and the charcater of Gerard Butler was a bit.. too good to be true. So i didnt quite belive in the story. But he did a good job IMHO. And so did Morgan Freeman. And for me, you should check it out if you are a fan of war\action movies. Or Butler\Freeman. Interesting movie. And some cool extras!

I *think* the actress did a good job with the role. Carrying lots of baggage. I have seen her in other things and she played it totally differentlyI don't recall exactly, but I think I agree about the actress. The problem was purely poor screen writing...

I know some people get stubborn when things are happening like that. Or people who evacuate once for a hurricane and nothing really happens for their area...so they don't go the next time and we get Hurricane Sandy. I wouldn't want to live where a hurricane might come through..or where a mountain might erupt. I would take everything I could and get the heck out with my critters if a hurricane was possibly coming.

So, my friends who wanted to watch the SAW movies, decided that they didnt want to watch the 3rd movie. So we jumped right to the 4th. I guess thats fair enough. I did remember some of the movie. Some returning characters. And the story is starting to take place. And you get a bigger picture of the story. And this is the most grapich movie (So far) the story is the same. But anyhow, they make it still interesting and good! Of the movies we've seen so far, this is the best by far! Looking forward to the rest! Highly recommanded ofc!

Ultimately, Hitch wins Alma over, and the two collaborate to create an enduring masterpiece – Psycho. Also starring Scarlett Johansson, Toni Collette and Jessica Biel. Hitchcock is "a knockout from start to finish" (Rex Reed, The New York Observer).

My Review:
Being a fan of both Mr. Hitchcock's work and Mr. Hopkins work this was a must have for me. And even tho' i did enjoy the movie. And it was based on a true story. I think (personally) they could have done just a little bit more. Dont get me wrong, the story about 'how they made Psycho' one of his best films ever made was real interesting and its a must have for Hitchcock fans out there. And Mr. Hopkins did a great job (IMHO) as Mr. Hitchcock. And i did enjoy it overall. Had some great moments. But for one of the best in the movie industry i think they could have done just a bit more. When the movie was finished i found myself asking "Whats next?" But other than that a good movie. That Hitchock fans must check out.

I remember when i first watched this one on DVD a few years ago. I really enjoyed it. Its another great Hitchcock movie! A bit different but great story. And now i wanted to check out the Blu-Ray version of it. And first of all i have to say a few words about the tranfser. I think they did a great job with it. The sound is much much better then the DVD. And the picture quality is great in this flick aswell. The movie is about some birds that suddenly starts to attack and kill random people at an island. Nasty buisness. I really like how they keep the both horror and suspence of it. Great! But there are a few things i didnt like about it. The ending was a bit out of place. And a bit too rushed IMHO. But all in all, another great Hitchcock flick! Is ofcourse highly recommanded!

The movie continue where it ended in movie 4. Not as much gore\blood in this one as the last one. But still a great movie. They are starting to build up something now. Highly recommanded ofc.

Skräck från 2009 av Kevin Greutert med Tobin Bell och Costas Mandylor.
Filmens handling
Skräcken fortsätter...
Specialagent Strahm är död och kriminalaren Hoffman har trätt fram som den självklare efterträdaren till Jigsaws arv. Men när FBI börjar bli alltför närgångna tvingas han sätta igång spelet igen och Jigsaws stora plan börjar närma sig en upplösning.
Saw hade världspremiär på Sundance filmfestival 2004 och blev en omedelbar succé. Varje ny film har intagit första plats på USAs biotopp. Förutom att Saw är en av de mest skrämmande och hårresande skräckfilmer världen skådat, väcker den också tankar om hur långt en människa är beredd att gå för att överleva. Jigsaw tolererar inte att vissa människor inte värdesätter och respekterar livet. De som missbrukar sin postion och förstör livet för andra blir grymt bestraffade.

My Review:
This one was a bit different then the others. In this it was alot more "flashbacks" movie. We get to see how the whole thing started. When some of the main characters "was thinking back" on how things started. And who did what. Great movie, and you learn alot of stuff in this one that you didnt know before. This one had some real great scenes with alot of blood, people losing bodyparts. Again a great movie. Better then alot of the other saw movies. Highly recommanded again ofc.

And not alot of "storytelling" in that sense. I found myself enjoying this aswell. I watched the 3D version. They did a good job with the 3D efects in this one actually. Both with the depths, the flying parts. Awesome. Great movie, great franchise. Highly recommanded for those whole like that kind of horror.

My Review:
Ah, finally. I've been waiting for this to come out for a while. And i really love what they did with this. Alot more of the car chases, high speed chases. A bit more back to the originals. The story wasnt too bad either. And who ever decided to bring Letty back, genious! And how they brought her back. And what they did with her character. Perfect! And 'The Rock' did a great job imho. He's starting to grow on me as an actor. I think he's getting better and better. And turning out to be a good actor. And ofcourse they kept the high pace trough out the whole movie. Not a dull moment. And they got some great spots here and there. And a few cool twists i didnt see coming. And with that ending?! I cant wait for the 7 to come out! This might be the best F&F movie yet. Ofc highly recommanded!

My Review:
Well, this was different. I guess have you seen one of the three, you kinda seen them all. But this one (the last one?) was a bit disappointing. The story was just oridinary. Not as good as the two first movies. And this movie was most about 'Chow' the movie and plot had me laughing out loud just a few times. The weakest movie in the franchise so far. But i guess if you have seen the first two, you should watch this aswell. But if you think the first two was "bob bob" as we say here. Dont hurry to check it out. I wouldnt pay full buck for it tho. Thats not worth it. For me, this was an ok comedy. But movie 1 and 2 was great.

My Review:
That was actually an allright movie. I remember i saw the thrailer way back and liked the thrailer, and finally found it. Its a movie about a retired policeofficer who now cleans up crimescenes etc and ofc get mixed up in stuff he shouldnt have. And they made it work with what they had. And it was nice to Samuel L Jackson, Ed Harris and Eva Mendes again. It said on the cover that it was a actionflick. I would say it is a thriller\suspence movie. And they kept the suspence trough out it aswell. All in all an allright movie that you should check out if you find it for a cheap penny.

My Review:
So, that was a mix between alot of things. It looks like they was trying to bring back the 'oldschool' Sly in this one. From his "prime" in the 70/80's. But he is getting older. And you can see it on him too. He is getting to that age soon where he shouldnt play the actionhero anymore. Anyways, the movie was allright fun for 1.5 hours. Alot of shooting, explotions, fight scenes. What can you expect from Sly and his actionflicks? And even tho it wasnt the best acting i've seen, or Oscar material. I think they did a allright job, all considering. If you just are in a mood for some action, or a simple allright movie to put on i recommand you to check this out for a cheap penny. Allright Sunday flick.

My Review:
So me and some friends just watched this one. "Arnolds first movie in years" as the lead actor maby. And i have to say it was cool to see him back. But him, just like Sly they are starting to get too old for those actionhero charcaters. But anyways the movie was real cool. Great mix between the action and the comedy. Had me laugh here and there. Plus some great action scenes. And the cast worked well together too. I just enjoyed this trough out! This is a movie you guys should check out!

I agree "Last Stand" is a fun cool film. Yeah they are getting a little long in the tooth as they say .. but still fun. Some of them (action stars) are wearing better than others. Some are wearing better than others and I think the time is showing on Arnold and Sylvester seem to be wearing heavier than some.
But the old guys in films are great ... as long as they can make fun of themselves while doing it. As in Red (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_%282010_film%29) and Red 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_2_(film)).
For me it is the humor in the film that makes it great.

My Review:
Well, i guess i wanted to check out this movie mainly because of Malin Åkerman.. Its a long time since i've seen her in anything. So that was nice. And the movie looked allright in the thrailer. The movie had some potential but they didnt make anything out of it. The story was interesting enough. But the movie was a bit too slow for my taste. And the suspence wasnt really suspence since we knew how the thing would end. All in all a dull movie that had a great potential and could do so much more. But it was nice to see Malin Åkerman again, so that helps. Not recommanded.

I actually saw Escape Plan today..with Stallone and Arnold. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It was pretty good for this type of movie. I think it looks like Stallone has arthritis in his hands. And in one or two scenes...the veins in his arms were kind of bulgy.
Stallone is going to be in a new comedy with DeNiro that is out in December. Grudge Match. It looks funny. They play former boxers who still hate each other 30 years after their second fight..and a rematch is set up between them. I saw at one thing that is poking fun at Rocky..probably some poking fun at Raging Bull too.

BUT they are starting to get a bit too old IMHO to play 'Terminator' or Rambo again ;)I also heard that rumor, that Arnie might be in the next Terminator film. I just hope they are smart ad don't have him play an actual Terminator, like in T3, where he simply appeared as the "model" for the T800.
I am wondering if Stallone is done with Rambo... :hmmmm:

I've heard that the last Rambo movie was really good...I haven't seen it yet. I thought I heard that he wanted to do another one...I just looked at imdb.com. It lists Rambo: Last Stand as being in development..no projected release date yet.
Ok..just saw another one. Creed. Rumored that he will play Rocky again..and Creed is the grandson of Apollo Creed. I didn't see the last Rocky either.

Grandson! That should tell them anything they need, to know that Stallone needs to step away from this. Although, he could be Creed's Mickey, I guess...

Although, he could be Creed's Mickey, I guess...He did that already for Tommy Morrison 23 years ago...

Tying back into things from the first few movies by bring back a member of the Creed family - possible a few of them if the grandson's dad is around - could end up being interesting..if it is handled properly.
I saw that Arnold is listed as being in the new Terminator movie too. I saw a suggestion that he would be a scientist that works on the terminators... that could maybe work. But Arnold as a Terminator would be stretching things a bit. Unless they started with a model that aged and got arthritis and heart problems etc. ;)

My Review:
Well, going in to this one i didnt have any expactations really. Remembering that i didnt enjoyed the first 12 Rounds starring John Cena. And some of the other movies i've seen from WWE Studios hasnt been the greatest one all the time. But this one was actually ok. The story was ordinary. The typical story about a maniac wanting revange. And you see both Randy Orton and the other cast really tries. And for a low budget movie and for Randy's first time as an actor. I think they did an ok job with this one. And the extras are great too in this one. Its recommanded if you find it for a cheap penny.

Going in to this one i didnt know what to expect. I havent seen many Monroe movies in the past. But what i've seen i've really enjoyed. And this one was allright aswell. A lighthearted comedy with a mix of some great music and song. I guess its too much music\singing in this one for Pete's taste ;) But it was a fun and warm movie that its recommanded to check out if you like Marilyn Monroe. And the bluray had great picture and sound too.

So when local nurse Julia (Jessica Biel - Total Recall, The A-Team), wakes one night to find her son David's bed empty, all her worst fears are realised. Is the dark figure she sees escaping with David really The Tall Man? If so, who is he and where does he take the children? And why do some of the town folk seem to know more than they are prepared to say...

With some good moments trough out the movie a interesting story. And i have to be honest it isnt the worst i've seen from Jessica Biel. And somehow they make it work.

This movie was actually much better then i remembered it to be. The story in the movie is ofc well known. The story about the 'crazy' mom and the missing child. But things isnt exactly how it looks at times. They did a great job with keeping the suspence and action trough out the movie. And Jodie Foster did a great job as the lead. Great acting by her (again and as always) Just a great movie trough and trough. For me this is highly recommanded.

And today i finally did. And the movie was allright. A bit different then i thought it would be, but they made it work. Actually a cool spy thriller.

Well, that was actually a better movie then i expected! A good oldschool action movie with high paced action scenes trough out the whole thing. And personally i have to say that it was good to see Charlie Sheen back in his prime, when he was as great as he could be. Its a shame to see whats happend to him the last few years. With the focus on anything but his career. And Clint Eastwood ofc is always a solid act. This is a great action movie and its highly recommaned! Just two hours of great fun!

My Review:
So this movie i've been wanting to rewatch for a while now. And it is a allright movie for a number of reasons. The movie is based on a true story, wich always helps (i really enjoy movies based on a true story) and being the big Clooney fan that i am, and remember watching the movie when it came out and liked it then. The movie wasnt as good as i remembered it to be, but still quite allright. And again Clooney did an allright job with telling this strong story that it is. And i just have to say a quick comment about the special/visual efects. Amazing! This drama his recommanded to check out!

My Review:
I cant remember if i've seen this one before or not. Didnt remember it anyways. And what a movie it was! A bit different than i thought it would be, but they made it work just perfectly trough out. And Jack Nicholson was great as the PI. Great mix between the drama\suspence\action. The picture and sound in this bluray was amazing. I havent seen the DVD (that i know of) so i dont have anything to compare it to. But i really enjoyed this! This is highly recommanded! I would go so far to say that this one is a classic.

So, i've had this in my unwatched pile for quite a while now. And today some friends asked me if we could watch it. And i actually dont remember if i've seen it before or not. Didnt remember much from it anyways. But it was a cute movie tho, with a cute story. Even tho you know from the start how the movie will end. But they made it work IMHO. And the sound and picture was amazing again. Looking forward to check out Cars 2. Recommanded!

Yeah .. i would leave it with "Cars". The second one is okay but just an attempt to create more of the same. Like "Toy Story" (although the second one was fun) they should just leave it alone. But it is a money maker so what else is a studio to do?NOOOOOOOOOOO Nothing like Toy Story. Toy Story is one of the few 3-for-3 trilogies, with every entry being a good/great movie. Cars is an o.k. movie with a lesser sequel. Well, your milage will obviously vary, as your opinion is apparently different.
I will complete my Pixar collection IF Cars 2 should ever come down to an acceptable price, but so far I have only seen it for above $20, which I am simply not willing to pay for this.

My Review:
Well, this was one was a complete blind buy. Hadnt heard about it or anything. The only reason i bought this was the big names in it. And it starts of real good and strong. But after 30 minutes in, the movie starts to slow down. And after that most of the things goes a bit to slow for my taste. I can appreciate what they tried to do with the movie but with that great cast i think they could just have done a bit more. But even with that being said, the movie had its moments here and there. Just not the greatest movie i've seen. I guess if you find it for a cheap penny, check it out. If not, skip it.

My Review:
So, this movie got alot of hype in the Norwegian media. And here in Norway its a "bigtime movie" with alot of big Norwegian names in it. And its based on a true story about the start of our oil and gas adventure in Norway. And they put us trough a real interesting and intense story! And it was real cool to see how it "all started" and the big names in the movie did a good job aswell. Thats not always the case in some of the Norwegian movies. But this was great from start to finish. I highly recommand you Norwegians out there to watch it. Or if you just like a good intense suspence\thriller you should check it out. And for a rather cheap prize you get some real good extras too!

So the question is - will "Planes" be the same disappointment? It's the first Pixar movie that I am considering passing up. As I wish I had done with "Cars 2".If "Planes" wouldn't come from Pixar but from a different studio, it would only be talked about as a rip-off.
In fact that's exactly what it is. "Cars 3: Now we fly"
And as with all sequels, they are to be avoided if the original cast is ashamed of appearing in it.

Ahh, this explains it then.
Taking a look at their filmography (http://www.imdb.com/company/co0092035/?ref_=ttco_co_1) they, in fact, are the rip-off department of Disney, specialized on sequels no one wants to see. At least no one above the age of 6.
Nevertheless Disney isn't exactly doing its best to avoid the impression that Planes and Cars are coming from the same studio. The German release even has the "Cars"-logo printed on it.

I bought this only because of Sandra Bullock. And the movie was listed as a action comedy. But i would say they are trying to make a comedy. The story was allright actually. And i have to say it was nice to see Sandra Bullock again. But Melissa McCarthy i've seen her in some movies lately but she playes almost the same characters in all of her movies. That is getting old fast for me. But it was a bit to far between the laughs in this one for a real good comedy. But they had some moments here and there. For me Sandra Bullock saved the movie really. And the bloopers in the extras. I dont know if this is recommanded or not actually. Its avrage

Going in to this one i guess i had to high expactations. With both the cast and the story. The movie had some amazing efects. Amazing how they made it work so perfectly! And they had a interesting story. But for me they could have done a bit more. The story and the plot was too slow, nothing much happend in the movie really. Just some amazing scenery and some cool Sci-Fi efects. But its not all bad. The movie had its moments here and there, dont get me wrong.

My Review:
I remember i watched this ages ago, and really enjoyed it. And now i wanted to check it out again. I remember some of it but not all. It is actually a great movie IMHO. Reminds me alot of Jason Bourne. A cool action\spy\suspence\thriller! hehe. If you enjoy Jason Bourne or the M:I movies. This is one is for you! I highly recommand it. Great movie.

The International was a very good movie .. good plot line, very good actors (and acting jobs) and great direction/editing. This one never let me down for a moment. Of course helps that I am a big Clive Owen fan. This one does get a strong recommendation

My Review:
After watching 'The International' i was in the mood for M:I, and it was a long time since i've seen them. And i'll be the first one to admit that i'm not a big fan of Tom Cruise, never been. But this movie is just great. Great action spy-thriller. I havent seen the M:I tv-series, so i cant compare them (yet) but this is a great movie. If you like action movies this is a must see. Highly recommanded!

My Review:
Well, that was another great actionflick IMHO. Not as good as the first one, but real close. They had a interesting story, and some cool moments and some great fightscenes here and there. And they are able to keep some of the suspence trough out the movie. And the cast works well together aswell. And even tho i'm not the biggest fan of Tom Cruise's work, he did a good job in this one. Its highly recommanded ofc if you liked the first one. This was a difficult one for me to rate.. But with the extras and some of the music choises they made, i have to give it more then i first was going to.

This is the movie of the 4 that i enjoyed the least. They did some interesting things in this one that i didnt agree with. But they introduced some new interesting characters. I just have this feeling that Tom Cruise was only in it for the money. I liked his performance better in the two first movies. Dont get me wrong its a good actionflick, but its not one of the best actionflicks up there. Something was missing. But if you have seen the first movies you have to check out this one too.

So this IMHO is the best M:I movie made so far. Its been a few years since the last movie was made and Tom has gotten a bit older, but he did an ok job in this one. Alot of stuff happening trough out the movie, and some twists here and there. And Brad Bird as a director, did a great job aswell. And from what i've been reading there will be a M:I 5 in the future. That will be real interesting. Great movie! Great franchise!

It has been a great hit ... but for me making Mr. (Jim) Phelps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Phelps#James_.22Jim.22_Phelps) a traitor really turned me off. Just fussy that way :)
I did not like that about the first movie either. It would have been better to just not have the character in the movie at all than do that.
I saw a little of the original show, though I don't remember much of it...and I saw when they tried to reboot the series...late 80s or early 90s I think it was. I liked that..and if I remember, Jim Phelps was in it too. But yes, I agree, making Jim a traitor was just wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.

My Review:
Again another quality movie by Clint Eastwood. But i guess thats what you get from him. He's an Icon afterall. This was a great western flick actually. And i really liked what they did with the story in this. And the cast aswell. Perfect! Gene Hackman was amazing as the bad cop. And you see that Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood have great chemistry. Well, if you like a good movie or just like Western, you need to catch this one! Amazing.
Just want to say a quick thing about the bluray, (i havent seen the dvd. So cant compare it) but the picture and sound was just amazing. They have done a great job with it. The DVD might be great aswell, but this blu-ray was amazing.

My Review:
Well, i had my hopes up real high for this movie. Had my expactations up real high. And that was a bit of a mistake. With this cast, the story. I mean comeon, "The story about Capone" one of the biggest warlords out there, ever. And this was what they made out of the movie? I mean, dont get me wrong, the movie was average. And it had some moments here and there, but for me it was a bit disappointing. With this strong cast (Mr.De Niro, the mafia himself) i guess i expected just a bit more out of the whole thing. I guess if you like mafia movies. If you find it for a real cheap penny, get it If not, skip it.

Frank (Elijah Wood, The Lord of the Rings) leads a deceptively peaceful life: to the outside world, he's a withdrawn and somewhat eccentric owner of a mannequin store. But his quiet façade masks an inner rage that forces him to brutally kill the women who manage to get too close to him. When a young artist named Anna (Nora Arnezeder, Safe House) appears one day at Frank's shop and asks for his help with her new exhibition, Frank develops an obsession with her that threatens to completely destroy his already fragile psyche. Soon the streets become unsafe for any woman after dark as this newly-awakened maniac begins to stalk and kill. Based on the classic 1980 shocker, MANIAC is an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiraling nightmare of a killer and his victims.

My Review:
Uhm, that was just weird.. I actually bought this movie because of Elijah Wood as a creepy serialkiller. Havent seen him play any roles like that before. But the whole thing was just weird. The whole movie was filmed POV style from 'Elijah Wood's POV' not like a handheld camera like the Paranormal movies' just plain POV. I dont understand why they did that? Didnt work. And the story was weak. And they could have done so much more to make this horror movie a real good one. IMHO they failed. Keep away from this one!

Van Orton lives a well-ordered life, until an unexpected birthday gift from his brother (Sean Penn) destroys it all. Van Orton has been enrolled in a game—"a profound life experience"—that begins quietly but soon erupts in a rush of devastating events. Like it or not, he must either win, or lose control of everything in his life.

My Review:
Well, wtf? To be complete honest, this movie was just weird. I've had this in my unwatched pile forever, i dont even know why i bought it. Guess it was a blind buy. I just didnt get the point with this movie at all. There was some moments, and Mr.Douglas did a good job as almost always. I'm 100% serious when i asked this question now (i'm still confused) but for you guys that have seen this. What was the story and the point with this movie? I still dont get it really. I mean, i saw the movie and know "the story" but nah. Still confused! :-[

I can see how The Game is not everybody's cup of tea. In fact I did not like it all that much after my first viewing.

I'm not saying that filmmakers cannot do things like that. But personally I dislike it very much.

My Review:
That was actually a great movie. I enjoyed the first two in the series aswell. But this third and prolly the last one in the series was the best IMHO. 'Snabba Cash' is a Swedish gangster\action movie. And 'Snabba Cash' means "Fast\Easy Cash" and the movies is about two crimefamilies from Serbia that are fighting over drugs in Sweden. And alot of great moments trough out. And some good acting from the cast aswell. I highly recommand you guys to check it out.

Peter Sarsgaard
Sharon Stone (1958)
Robert Patrick (1958)
Juno Temple
Chris Noth
Plot:
In 1972, before the internet, before the explosion of the adult film industry, Deep Throat was a phenomenon and introduced the world to an unknown and unlikely star: Linda Lovelace (Amanda Seyfried; Les Miserables). Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard; TV's The Killing). As "Linda Lovelace" she became an international sensation - a charming girl-next-door with some 'impressive skills'. Fully inhabiting her new identity, Linda became an enthusiastic spokesperson for sexual freedom and uninhibited hedonism. Six years later she presented another, utterly contradictory, narrative to the world - and herself, as the survivor of a far darker story.
The all-star cast includes: Emmy Award winner Hank Azaria (The Simpsons), BAFTA winner Juno Temple (The Dark Knight Rises), Adam Brody (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World), Academy Award nominees James Franco (127 Hours), Golden Globe nominee Chris Noth (Sex & The City), Emmy Winner Bobby Cannavale (TV's Nurse Jackie), Wes Bentley (The Hunger Games), Robert Patrick (Gangster Squad), Debi Mazar (Collateral), Eric Roberts (The Expendables), Academy Award nominee Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct) and Academy Award nominee Chloë Sevigny (Boys Don't Cry).

My Review:
Well, first of i have to say that i have never seen 'Deep Throat' and i never will. But i heard the stories and when this movie was going to be made (With Linsey Lohan at first) i wanted to check it out, to see what it was all about. Its a strong movie, and a sad movie to watch. And get a good look behind the scenes what the sorry excuse of a husband forced her to do. Wich makes me sick to see btw! But Amanda Seyfried did a good job as Linda Lovelace IMHO. Recommanded to check out.

To quote myself from one of my reviews:
Quote
I don't know who told Amanda Seyfried that she is an actress, but he/she lied, Seyfried has the same acting capabilities as Ashton Kutcher and exactly the same mimic capabilities as Steven Seagal and this way always looks like the first walking and talking Barbie.

And the solid cast in this one delivered a great performance. Wich i kinda expected with names like Del Toro, Douglas, Zeta Jones (nice to see her again) Dont do that too often these days. A great thriller trough and trough, with a bit of runningtime but you dont even notice that before the movies is over. This is ofc recommanded!

So, finally after ages in my unwatched pile i watched it! And being a fan of the game of 'pool' made the movie even better for me. Great B&W movie about how a Hustler is trying to Hustle his way to big bucks trough playing pool. And we get some great moments in the movie. Some ups and some downs. And we got some good acting aswell. If you enjoy a good movie or just enjoy a B&W movie, this is highly recommanded!

Just want to add my agreement, that both are great films. I slightly prefer The Hustler (despite its slow middle part), but have see The Cincinnati Kid more often.I think you are right Achim. Overall The Hustler is the better film more gritty and maybe better characters. I think The Cincinnati Kid is one of McQueen's best works. And Edward G. Robinson was very good. But yeah .. overall The Hustler.

The movie had its moments here and there, a few good scare moments too. But thinking back to the first original movie, they took the oportunity. I feel that they could have done a bit more in this one. If you havent seen the original but just want to check out this, i guess its an ok horror movie. But as a remake they could have done just a bit more. Not more than avrage.

This is one of my favorite Disney Classics. Almost up there with movies like Lion King. I've always enjoyed this one. But never seen it in HD. So when i found it on sale, i just had to get it. And IMHO they did a great job with the tranfser. Both the picture and sound is much better from the DVD.I always get in a good mood when watching it. What Disney has done with their classics is amazing. (Almost perfect) This is a must have and a must see. Well worth a doubledip.

This was a blindbuy after i read a review of the movie. The movie is based on a true story about a serialkiller in Alaska, who kidnapped, raped and killed his victims. And the movie put us trough a journey where we follow a determined cop and a brave vitness. And we see the hunt on one of the worst serialkillers out there. The Cop in charge played by Nic Cages does a great job. And so does Vanessa Hudgens as one of the suriveres. A great thriller with this dark story, with some great acting. This thriller is highly recommanded.

So, this was based on a true story huh? I bought it mainly because of 'The Rock' "The largest heist in US History" huh? Well, i found the movie boring. The story was too slow. And the cast wasnt the best i've seen. Seen 'The Rock' much better. And Emma Roberts just had a tiny part. I ended up not liking the movie. But if you find the heist, or the story about it interesting. Give it a try, but just for the movie. Skip it!

After been away and too busy the last couple of weeks, i finally got some time to watch a movie. And after all the hype this movie got in the Norwegian media, "The Norwegian National Treasure" etc. And with the cast, i had really high expectations for it. The movie and the story about the 'Myth of Ragnarok' was actually interesting. But they failed bigtime aswell. They could have made it as the Norwegian National Treasure, but instead they made it more like a movie for children. All in all, a interesting movie with a interesting story. But nothing more then a' ok movie. They had the chance here to do something real great, but ended up with just 'ok' IMHO.

Well, you know what you get with Jason Statham, its nothing different here. He being a big action dude who get in some good fightscenes, and shoot some people. With Statham you get only one kind of character, and thats what we get here aswell. A typical revenge story.. Someone took something from him, and now he's on the hunt for the people who did it. And then you get J.Lo, she doesnt do too much really in this besides being Statham's sidekick. Some good spots here and there, but a bit too slow for me, to say this is a good actionflick. An ok flick, but wouldnt pay full buck for it.

Uhm, that was just weird..

(I see now why they sold it to me cheap) Well, the movie had something good going. But after the 30MIN mark, something happended. It just got creepy and very weird (not in a good way) they had some real good moments in the first 30 minutes or so, that reminded me of the first movie. But after that, they hit somekind of a switch, and it just got silly. And wtf was the deal with the zombies?! They just messed up with this really. I'll give them credit for the first 30. But thats it. If you enjoyed the first one, dont check this one out.

And we got some great moments trough out the movie. And even tho it is a actionflick, they had some real funny lines here and there aswell.

He also hangs for dear life from the facial features of Mount Rushmore's Presidents. Savour one of Hollywood's most enjoyable thrillers ever in this State-of-the-Art Restoration: its Renewed Picture Vitality will leave you just as breathless as the chase itself.

My Review:
Ah, Alfred Hitchcock did it again. Masterpiece. And this time he takes us on a great ride trough USA. With a innocent man framed for murder. It seems like there is a mixup. But is there mixup in this movie at all? I'm not sure. And we get some great moments trough out the movie, when we're following this great cast. I would say this is a great suspence\thriller. And i really enjoyed what they did with it. This is ofcourse highly recommanded! And this blu-ray set is amazing aswell, and filled with some great extras.

Ehm, this movie i expected it to be something like 'Machete' and man was i wrong. The movie had maby one or two 'ok' moments. But other than that, they failed completely. I see what they tried to do, a hot chick in a bikini, going on a killingspree. GTA style. But the whole thing was just not good. Acting was bad, the cast didnt work well together. Well, i dont have much to say about this really exepct dont use money on it.

My Review:
So, i've been watching some Hitchcock movies from the 'Hitchcock' blurayset lately. And this one i've never seen, so i decided to check it out since Sean Connerey was in it. And i dont think i have seen one bad Hitchcock movie yet. And this was just as great. And let me say this 'Tippi Hedren' playing this crazy thief did a great job. Great performance. And ofc, this was a mystery\suspenceful thriller. With a great mix between the suspence and thriller part. Alfred Hitchcock seems to know how to do it, just to make a movie perfect. Not to much, not to little. This a thriller that is ofc recommanded if youre in to old movies, good movies or Hitchock. Check it out.

With over $700M in the boxoffice, and winning 7 Oscars, i have to say that i had my expactions up a great bit. And for me it didnt dissapoint at all. What an amazing movie with some great special efects. And with two of my favorite actors playing the characters it didnt hurt. And let me just say that i think Sandra Bullock was amazing in this one! I watched the 3D version, and they did just an amazing job with the 3D. Just amazing! If you have a chance, check out the 3D version! If not, this is such a great movie that you should check it out anyways.

I have to confess that I haven't seen Platoon.
It is among the best movies of the 80-ies.
And while the combat-scenes are quite realistic they are nowhere near the brutality of (e.g.) Saving Private Ryan.

It is among the best movies of the 80-ies.I always preferred Full Metal Jacket over Platoon. Sure, Platoon is a good/great movie, but somehow Full Metal Jacket had a much more profound impact at me when I saw it in the cinema for the first time. Maybe it has to do with Platoon appearing way more black & white

Wow, that was a much better movie than i expected it to be! I've had this in my unwatched pile for ages. Dont know why i havent seen it before, but now i finally did. And what a great movie it was. But i'm not sure what kind of movie it is really, is it a war movie? Is it a action\thriller? I would say something in between all that. Even with a simple story\plot, they made the most of it. With some brilliant acting by both Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain! This movie is actually just great. Check it out when you got a chance.

My Review:
This is a bit difficult to review and rate. Its a very slow movie, with some typical Statham scenes. But again the movie is a bit different from what he use to play in, even tho his character his alot of the same old. He plays a soldier who's back home from the war, and terrible things happens to the people he loves, and he's on a revenge mission trough out the movie. You know what you get from Mr.Statham, but this wasnt his best. Not recommanded.

Well, to be honest this was a complete blindbuy, only reason i bought this was because i saw Noomi Rapace in it. And i've been a fan of her every since she played 'Lisebeth Salander' And it is a movie with a rather small story, but man did they make it work. I dont know if i would call it a erotic thriller, but something in between. And both Noomi and Rachel McAdams does two brilliant parts as two women that will stop at absolutely nothing, even murdering someone. Just a great thriller trough out. For me, this is highly recommanded actually, and they have some good extras aswell.

You get a rough journey trough the eyes from a real bad and dirty cop (Denzel Washington) and a rookie who's got problems with how Mr.Washington is taking the law in his own hands. And it is one hell of a ride. And Denzel Washington puts on a amazing performance as the dirty cop. This is one of the better 'gangster/gang' movies i've seen. And its worth the money from Denzel Washington performance alone IMHO. Its a must have.

So its not a movie for you Pete! ;) But i do enjoy a good musical from time to time, as long as its done correctly and this one was.

But i've enjoyed the movies so far, (and i know some people that have read the books aswell. and they have the same opinion as you) Personally i'm looking forward to the 3rd and final movie. Will be interesting to see how they will do it all. Real shame about Philip Seymour. Drugs is a nasty buisness :(Drugs are just a symptom (pretty final one at times). But the 3rd movie will be in 2 parts (this is really becoming popular. Part 1 will be out November of this year and part 2 will be out november of next year

My Review:I also liked this one quite a bit more than the first one. I had been worried that it would be too much of the same (as it was a known fact they would have to "play" in another round of games), but the way it turned out was quite satisfactory.

Unfortunately, I kept hearing that the third book will not only be made into two movies (why...?) but that it's apparently the least popular book. So, my expectations are kept in check, which can only be good, I suppose.

Plot:
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS is the harrowing story of Billy Hayes, a young American tourist condemned to a Turkish prison for his futile attempt to smuggle hashish out of the country.

It is an unforgettable look at one of the most dangerous prisons in the world, and one man's fight to get home.

My Review:
So, this was a difficult one to review for me. The movie had a very interesting story (since we know that the movie is based on a true story) So you want to find out how it ends, on how it goes with 'Billy' but for me, the movie is only avrage. But you got to see how corrupt Turkey was. And how they treated people in prison over there. And even tho it snabbed 2 Oscars, and got a few more nomitations, i have to say that it was a' avrage movie.

My Review:I also liked this one quite a bit more than the first one. I had been worried that it would be too much of the same (as it was a known fact they would have to "play" in another round of games), but the way it turned out was quite satisfactory.
So, me and some friends watched this yesterday, and i was looking forward to this one. Since i enjoyed the first one. And i actually liked this a bit more. A bigger story, and Jennifer Lawrence has grown alot since the first 'Hunger Games' wich shows in this movie. And this movie will make for a great\interesting movie number 3. If you liked the first movie, this is a must watch. And this blu-ray set got a bonus disc with some great special features too.
Unfortunately, I kept hearing that the third book will not only be made into two movies (why...?) but that it's apparently the least popular book. So, my expectations are kept in check, which can only be good, I suppose.
I'm currently reading the third book and let's just say I have a hard time figuring out how they will make a movie that fits with the previous two.
Not much action, a lot of the story is psychological and political - propaganda movies, Peeta (poor Peeta!) even Katniss at times... It'll be interesting to see what they do with the material.

My Review:
So, this Norwegian comedy was really hyped up in the Norwegian media, because the lead actor actually have downs syndrome. But for me this wasnt any good at all really. The funny moments wasnt there at all almost. Just a few laughs here and there. And the story was slow aswell. I think they was looking to make this a bit funnier than it was because of the lead. But for me, they just failed. I wouldnt recommand it.

My Review:
So after playing 'GoldenEye' on my N64, i got in the mood for the GoldenEye movie aswell, havent seen that movie since the early 2000's. And when it comes to James Bond, its no secret that i think Sean Connery is the best James Bond and Daniel Craig as a good second. And its so long since i've watched Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, but not a favorite at all. This GoldenEye is just a avrage James Bond movie really, that reminded me more of a ordinary actionflick, not the genious spyseries. So i'm going to watch another Bond movie with Pierce as Bond, to just see if he grows on me or not.

My Review:
Well, still not 100% convinced that Pierce was\is a great James Bond. But this movie is a bit better then the GoldenEye, i got a bit more 'Bond' feel over this. A bit more gadgets, just a bit more 'Bond' overall. And Pierce did a bit better in this one. I will still watch the rest of his Bond movies, but so far its not my favorites. If they keep this up, then its getting there.

My Review:
So, this was a step back from 'Tomorrow Never Dies' IMHO. We dont have too muh of the cool gadgets in this one. We got a few gadgets here and there, but not enough. Its James Bond afterall. And we finally got some Casino action! I've missed the Casino's and the gambling from Pierce Brosnan. And when we finally got to the Casino, what happens? No gambling at all. But i'll give them that, for the efforts. Now, there is one last movie with Pierce, lets see if thats any better. Still just avrage.

So that was the last one with Pierce Brosnan i think. Still just a avrage Bond, when i've watched them all. I really miss the oldschool gambling, the real good carchases, the Aston Martin's and stuff. Pierce usually drove a BMW. Not very Bondish. But we got a to see Halle Berry in a tiny bikini tho. And she was hot as always. So after seeing all of Pierce Brosnan's Bond movies, i wont say he's the worst Bond. (George Lazenby anyone?) But not far from it tho. Now i'm looking forward to checking out the next Bond movies with Daniel Craig.

Da skeletterne af fire unge kvinder findes begravet i en skov nord for København trækkes den ambitiøse og egenrådige vicekriminalkommissær Katrine Ries Jensen sammen med den intellektuelle og menneskesky retspsykiater Thomas Schaeffer ind i en livsfarlig jagt på Danmarkshistoriens første seriemorder. En gerningsmand, der dræber ud fra et mønster der ikke umiddelbart lader sig forklare.
Katrine og Thomas viser sig at være et stærkt, men umage makkerpar, hvis tilgang og metoder ofte adskiller sig fra den konventionelle politiefterforskning.
Deres jagt bringer dem tæt på gerningsmanden. Så tæt at Katrine med sin følelsesladede og hævntørstige adfærd ubevidst blotter sig for gerningsmanden og dermed kvalificerer sig som det perfekte næste offer.
For både Thomas og Katrine bliver udfordringen at se mennesket bag monsteret. For først når de forstår de fantasier og traumer, der driver gerningsmanden, bliver de i stand til at konfrontere DEN SOM DRÆBER.

Uhm, i'm not sure if this is a movie series or if this is a tv-show, made in to tv-movies. Anyways, its 5 of them. It can remind me a thing between a movie and a tv-show.. Anyways, its a Danish crimeseries about a police unit in Denmark that only get the most cruel murders. And they makes it work actually. Its nothing we havent seen before, but the cast got good chemistry between eachother and they do a pretty decent job aswell. Looking forward to the rest of the movies.

So, the movie 2 of the 5 was a bit of the same as the 1st one. But the cases get a bit darker it seems. And there are some character growth with our two leads.

What can you say about this movie really? You kinda know what you get from Steven Seagal and he's not the best actor out there. But alot of his movie is on my guilty pleasure list, and you get some fun action trough out his movies. And its allright entertainment for a lazy Sunday. But this first movie of his 'collection' is just avrage. Looking forward to checking out the rest tho.

Katrine og Thomas arbejder under intenst pres på at indkredse gerningsmanden i et miljø præget af had, vold og hævn.

And the movie was real interesting really, strong story from the 50's. And just to see how proffesional Kate and Leo is infront of the camera, pure class. And the acting aswell? Just amazing. This was just a real solid movie that i really enjoyed! Check it out if you havent done yet! And it got some real good extras aswell. And i really hope we do see the two together again in another movie soon! (Leo and Kate)

Forholdet udvikler sig hurtigt langt mere seriøst end hun havde regnet med, men han viser sig at bære rundt på flere hemmeligheder under facaden end hun nogensinde havde forestillet sig...

My Review:
So that was the last movie of the series. Still a' ok movie, the case was just ok this time around. You kinda knew who did it, but it was a intense episode nonetheless. They made the most out of it really. I've enjoyed the 5 movies in the series. A cool series that i might just watch again down the road. Check it out.

My Review:
wow, what a movie. I dont think i've seen this since it came out years ago. And today i had some time to kill and decided to check it out again. Its just a perfect crime thriller with Jack Nicholson as the great villian with dirty cops who's helping him. Great moments trough out, great script, the cast did a top notch job too. I loved everything about this flick. Just a classic! Martin Scorsese did it again! Its ofc highly recommanded!

My Review:
Well, i guess i had my hopes up too high for this one. Both De Niro and Travolta as the "two only actors" playing against each other. And the movie had some good moments here and there. But i guess i just expected more from both of them. And the movie was a bit too slow for my taste aswell. But not only bad. As i said some good moments here and there. But all in all its just avrage. Dont know if i would pay full buck for it tho.

I watched this one a few days ago, while it wasnt the best of Disney's work i enjoyed it. Once again a decent classic from Disney. Got some real good moments here and there, and a plus for me is when the characters are drawn by hand, and not animated. I tend to like them the best. Not the best movie in the classic series, but a decent one worth checking out imho! With some cool extras aswell.

Well, that was 2 fun hours. I heard alot of good things about this, and decided to give it a try. And for me it delivered. Arnie and Sly in the leads, as they try to break out of the world most secure prison, and no one knows where they are. Great moments here and there. Great twist i didnt see coming. And Sly and Arnie still delivers in the fight scenes. (even tho you see that they are much older now) great mix between the action and the suspence. And for me it was cool to see Vinnie Jones back on the big screen. All in all, a great movie you should check out.

Me and some friends just watched this again last night, and i remembered some parts of it but not all. Its a rather cool spy-thriller with an 'ok' Mel Gibson as the lead. You got some real good action trough out. Real intense and suspenceful thriller. They actually made it work with what they got. My only complaint would be Mel Gibson. I guess i expected a bit more from him. But all in all a allright movie. Check it out for a cheap penny.

As the mystery unfolds, it becomes chillingly clear that the killer is taunting the investigators, and the only way to end this bloody reign of terror is to decipher the deadly puzzle before he kills again.

My Review:
Well, this was a complete blind buy and i bought it because it looked interesting and was real cheap. And the story was interesing. Buut, the movie failed totally for me. The story was boring. The cast wasnt looking interested in the movie. The movie was just weird and slow. And for a horror\thriller it wasnt even that many scaremoments. Well, skip it.

Disney•Pixar proudly presents the hilarious story of how two mismatched monsters met and became lifelong friends in a movie screaming with laughter and oozing with heart.
Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, "Sulley" (John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program. With their dreams temporarily dashed, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.
Pull an all-nighter with hours of exclusive bonus extras, including an inside look at the world of monsters and the animated theatrical short film The Blue Umbrella. Monsters University opens the door to huge laughs on Disney Blu-ray.

My Review:
Yep.. Disney Pixar did it again.. Amazing! After watching Monsters Inc, i hoped they would make a sequal. And now i finally got around to check it out. And the movie is just amazing. Picture and sound quality is amazing. And the movie had cute and funny moments trough out the movie. Its not as good as Monsters Inc IMHO but a close second. Disney Pixar has done it again, made a great animated movie! Its ofc highly recommanded to check out.

I know that I find sequels harder to fulfill than the originals ...And with good reason, since most sequels are inferior to the original. There are some outstanding exceptions, but they are few and far between.

I just watched this one, and didnt know what to expect really. I've heard about it before, but never seen it. And the movie is a typical revange movie. A real young Dolph Lundgren as a villian? He play's a former cop who turns serial killer, and kill people because of his own vandetta. The movie have some ok moments her and there. For me this was just a avrage movie.

Well, this was a blind buy. And i bought it because of Robert Redford. And the movie isnt anything i havent seen before. But they made it work somehow. Redford & Co made it work with what they had. And we do get some big names other then Redford aswell. its a allright thriller this one. But i have to say that Robert Redford isnt what he once was. He's getting older, and you can see that in this movie. But still an enjoyble movie.

Uhm, this was interesting really. I kinda enjoyed the movie overall. But they could have done so much more IMHO. The movie was real slow in some places, and then suddenly some of it seemed a bit rushed. And with George Clooney as the only lead, i kinda expected a bit more from him. Knowing what he's done before. But other than that, they made it work with what they got. All in all, if you find it for a cheap penny, check it out.

Well, i've had this in my unwatched pile for ages. And now i finally got around to watch it. And i can see why some people really liked it and why it got 3 Oscar noms for it. But for me it didnt quite work. The story was interesting, and the cast worked good together. And we had some great performances. But the whole movie just seemed a bit too rushed. And some of the cast just seemed to be in it for the money. For me this was just avrage.

My Review:
I watched the first movie when it came out a while back. And i always wanted to see the sequal when it came out. And what a sequal it was! Great horror movie. Great moments trough out. And a great continue from the first movie. And from the looks of how things ended, and what happend in this one, they could make a movie number 3 if they want. I really hope they do anyways. What a franchise its turning out to be! Almost better (so far) that the 'Paranormal Activity' movies IMHO.

My Review:
Ah, what a great movie that was. Alfred Hitchcock did it again. The master of suspence. The story had me glued to the screen. It was a bit different then i expected, but it delivered big time (as Hitch always does) Again a masterpiece from Hitch. I'm always looking forward to watch one of his movies. I have yet to watch a bad movie from him.

I havent seen this one since i can remember. And i have never seen the upgrade to blu-ray either. And lets take the upgrade first. I think they did a good job. Picture and the sound is much better then it was. And what can we say about the movie? High paced action from start to finish. Great scenes trough out the movie. And Mel Gibson is actually doing a good job! This is just a great and fun action movie. Almost a classic. And this blu-ray comes with alot of great extras aswell! The upgrade is worth the money IMHO.

I didnt know this was out, before i saw it in the store on sale. So i had to have it. And i've enjoyed the 3 first Paranormal movies. The 4th was ok. So going in to this i didnt have any expactations at all. And for me i guess that helped. The story in this was a bit different then what we have seen in the 4 first movies. And that helped alot. And it had some moments here and there. If you have seen the first 4 movies and liked them, check this one out aswell.

The actionscenes was allright. But there was a few things they could have handled a bit better imho. The whole CIA story wasnt credible to me.

That was a decent actionflick. Alot of cool stuff happening in the 1hr and 38 minutes. Typical revenge story with alot of fight and other action scenes. And for me its always nice to see Nicolas Cage back on the big screen. Even tho he's getting older. And he is not like he was back in the 90's. (Face Off, Con Air, Gone In 60 etc) But he did ok in this one i think. All in all, its a decent action flick. A good way to spend 1hr 38mins i would say! So check it out for a cheap penny.

My Review:
So far, this is a hoot. Really enjoyed the first one. And i watched this today. Havent watched the movies in ages. The story is typical cop vs the criminals. But Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is amazing together. They make it work with the funny moments. "The crazy cop" Mel Gibson is amazing so far. And ofc we get some shooting and great action scenes here and there. Looking forward to check out the next ones. So far this blu-ray set is amazing. The upgrade is recommanded so far.

Yep, he did it again. I dont think i've seen a bad movie from Hitchcock yet. If there is a bad movie from him, please let me know. Great suspensful movie again from Alfred Hitchcock. Great story, great scenery. Great acting from both Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. I do really love those old movie classics like this. Old cars, old houses. Something beautiful about it if you ask me. Ofc highly recommanded.

My Review:
The last movie in the series. We see a bit older Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. The movie got the same great one liners, and you also got the action. But this time around Mel Gibson (Riggs) is going to be a dad. And Danny is going to be a grandfather. For me that didnt fit to the story. They tried to make the best out of what they got, and they did a good job but not as good as the 3 first movies. Still a ok ending to the franchise tho. Great franchise all in all. I would recommand you guys to check out the upgrade to HD. And this bluray set got a ton of great extras! Wich is almost worth the money alone ;)

Just great movies. And we got some great extras aswell. Well worth the moneyI am not sure I agree with the plural here, that it is "great movies", but I quite enjoyed the first one here and I think it should hold up well. In my opinion the sequels got progressively worse, although a) I haven't seen the 4th one and b) I heard that the 4th one may indeed be better than 2 and/or 3.

I was in the mood for something with both Clooney (wich is my favorite actor) and Brad Pitt. So why not check out the 'Oceans' movies again? Was a long time since i saw them the last time. The movie is just great fun. We see a great Clooney (as always) as Danny Ocean. We follow Danny Ocean on his biggest heist yet. We get some great moments trough out. And the support cast is wonderfull aswell. Just great 2 hours.

Another good movies in the series. Alot of big names ofcourse. And this time around they have steal back something they have taken. And ofc, things doesnt always happen as you plan them. We got some great moments with Clooney & Co. But there was something missing in this movie. Cant put my finger on what it is. But something. So it isnt as good as the first one, but still decent. And i still enjoyed it. Looking forward to check out the last aswell.

Yep, the last one in the series. It was a nice way to end it i think. Another impossible "heist" if we can call the last movie for a heist. Anyways, we got some big names again. And it was nice to see Al Pacino again aswell. And i have to admit that i liked this movie a bit more then i liked the second movie. All in all, a great movieset. And a great franchise.

The movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic "John Doe" sermonizes to Detectives Sommerset and Mills -- one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murderer's terrible capacity is graphically demonstrated in the dark and subdued tones characteristic of film noir. The seasoned and cultured but jaded Sommerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to understand the killer's modus operandi while the bright but green and impulsive Detective Mills scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer..

Ok, that was fun. Going in to this one, i've seen some trailers and liked what i saw. And the movie started of strong and never let go really.

And let me just say that Emily Blunt did pretty good in this one too. And she looked hot as always. Its recommanded. And the 3D was pretty good too. Not often it is in the "live" movies.

Once there, they meet with local rebel Sandra and discover the true nature of the conflict engulfing the city. When they escape the island and Sandra stays behind, Ross must choose to either walk away and save his own life - or attempt a suicidal rescue mission that might just save his soul.

My Review:
Well, i was in the mood for some silly and stupid action before work yesterday. So i decided to check this out again, since i havent watched it since it came out in 2010. And it is a great action movie. Its a movie where you dont have to think much or pay close attention to whats going on. It is just alot of fighting, shooting, killings and ofc some explotions trough out. And that makes for some good entertainment for me. If you are in the mood for some silly action, this is it.

Well, i have been wanted to see this one for a long time now. And i finally got around to checking out. And going in to this one i guess i had somewhat high expactations for it. But for me the movie delivered. I'm not sure if i will call this a spy thriller. But something in between i think. You get the 'spy' feel. A real intense and suspencefull thriller. They make you guess what will happen next, and who did what. I really enjoyed this one.

Well, i had to rewatch the 2nd movie since i just watched the first one again. And once again the big names reunite, and this time they have even added a few more big names to the movie. And again there are some great scenes here and there. Its actually a good follow up to the first one. But still a silly actionflick (in a good way ofc) if you want to watch a movie without too much thinking or anything check it out.

And i'm not saying Roger Moore is a bad James Bond, not at all. But not the best either. And this movie wasnt the best Bond movie i've seen either.

After watching 'The Spy Who Loved Me' i was in the mood for some more Bond, and i have wanted to see Casino Royal for a while now. Havent seen it since it came out i think. Atleast a few years since i saw it. And it is maby the best (behind Skyfall) "newer" Bond movies. In this you really got back that "oldschool" feeling from when Sean Connery was James Bond. And the bluray was amazing. Picture and sound was amazing aswell. For me it was perfect. I forgot how good it actually was! And ofc a ton with cool extras.

My Review:
Ofcourse i had to continue. And i dont know what to think about this one really. For me this was more of a sequel of Casino Royale. For me this was more of a action movie than a James Bond movie. Not a bad movie, but not a great James Bond movie either. But i guess i expect just a bit more when it comes to James Bond. Now i'm looking forward to check out 'Skyfall' when i got some extra time. I think Daniel Craig is doing a good job as James Bond so far.

This was a blind buy actually. I only saw some knowed names and decided to check it out. And the movie is a typical actionflick. Lot of blood, lot of fightscenes. And then we get a Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead as a somewhat badguy. For me it was cool to see Arnold Schwarzenegger "back" as the bad guy. But the story wasnt anything special. And they missed a few spots here and there. All in all an ok actionflick with some good scenes here and there.

And they was able to bring back some big oldtimers. Wich is always cool. But then they decided to switch up the team for half the movie wich i didnt like that much. But i start to think 3 movies is enough. But after what i've heard there is talk about a movie number 4. Not sure what i think about that tho. But all in all, a ok action movie.

My Review:
Well, i had to continue. And this is another good movie from the series. Another great moments here and there with Sir Hopkins ofc. But there was a few things i didnt quite enjoy as much as i did with the first one. I watched 'Red Dragon' last night, hopefully i will have some time write a review about that one too.
So far it is some good movies.

Well, this could have been so much better if it wasnt a remake of sorts of 'Manhunter'. But even tho, the movie is a good movie. Just not a great one for me. Ed Norton and Hopkins are great in their roles. And the movie have some really great moments here and there. Great horror collection.

Hannibal Rising takes us back to finally explain the origins of Lecter's evil. Beginning in World War II, this dark and intense story follows Hannibal's survival of the horrors of war, his formative years in the fields of medicine and forensics and finally a journey of revenge against the predators who changed his life forever. Above all it reveals the mind of a monster and shows us just what would drive a man to cannibalism.

My Review:
Done. This is the Hannibal movie i enjoyed the least. This is suppose to be the movie where we see how "Hannibal Lecter" was borned. Well, the movie had its moments here and there. But even tho there was some good moments, the movie was just a bit too slow and some of the things just didnt make sense to me really. But if you have seen all the other Hannibal movies you kinda need to check out this one aswell.

Well, that was fun! A bit different actionflick than i expected it to be. Interesting plot wich they made the most of. Great moments trough out. And again Ridley Scott managed to bring on some really big names, wich worked very well together. And it was nice to see some of the actors\actresses play some different characters then we are used to see them play. Its a bit running time on the extended version, but you dont even notice the 2hr++ running time. So check it out!

Plot:
TROLLJEGEREN var årets store sensasjon på kino i 2010. I tillegg til å bli en av de best besøkte på norske kinoer ble den også norsk films største eksportsuksess gjennom tidene.
TROLLJEGEREN var opprinnelig lansert som en grensesprengende dokumentar, men ble raskt avslørt som en bred publikumsfilm som både er morsom og spennende - med visuelle effekter i verdensklasse!
I korte trekk handler TROLLJEGEREN om tre studenter ved medielinjen i Volda som får skoleoppgave å lage dokumentarfilm om en lokal personlighet. De velger å fokusere på en folkesky mann som de tror er krypskytter. Men etter hvert som han åpner seg for ungdommene avdekkes sider ved det norske samfunnet som får senere tiders medialekkasjer til å blekne. Her dreier det seg om myndighetenes bevisste handling for å føre det norske folk bak lyset gjennom mange generasjoner...

My Review:
Well, this will be a difficult one for me to rate. Its clearly a silly child movie with a story about a trollhunter in norway.And its a lost and found footage too, to make it seem more real. And we get some silly moments here and there. But we actually get some pretty cool moments aswell. Not the best movie i've seen in the Adventure genre. But the movie get a plus from me, since most of the movie is filmed only 1 hour outside the city where i am from and live. I'm actually not sure if i would recommand it or not.

Great movie. I watched it first when it came out in 2006 on DVD. And havent seen it since. So i decided to check it out again and this time on bluray. And they did a great transfer IMHO. Its a norwegian horror movie about some young kids going on a skiing vacation. And ofc while on the vacation stuff happens. And there are some really good moments trough out. Some really good scare moments too. If you like a good horror movie. You should check it out if you havent allready.

My Review:
I'm actually not sure if i would recommand it or not.
I watched it a while ago and quite enjoyed it. I would recommend it to people who enjoy genre pictures and don't mind that "found footage" aspect. It loved how those trolls would get bigger and bigger (not really a spoiler, the cover gives it away) and how the found footage made it feel like it's real. Having the right mindset is important, not taking the whole thing too serious...

And ofc in a horror flick and hospitals, bad things happens. For me this is maby the best Norwegian\Scandinavian horror frenchise made.

And since i was at it i had to watch the last one too ofc. And this was\is my favorite of the 3. Alot more of the driving\car chases that i've missed in the two first ones. And the story was a bit more "interesting" and action packed. And i actually think Statham did a better job in this. All in all, a decent franchise worth checking out i guess.

My Review:
I was in the mood for a spy movie. And i decided to watch the Bourne series again. But i decided to begin with the last movie and go the other way. The movie is a good spy\action movie. Great story and some great acting by Jeremy Renner. Its ofc a big minus that Matt Damon didnt play as Bourne himself, but i really enjoyed the movie nonetheless. Great way to spend 2 hours. And there are some great extras aswell.

What a movie this really is. I watched it last night. And it was ages ago since i watched it last time. But the movie for me is up there with the best of'em. (Scarface, Platoon, Casino etc) Its a bit of a runningtime on this, but you dont even notice it. And the movie got some legandary moments here and there. Specially the moment between Al Pacino and De Niro in the diner. Awesome. Maby the best action\crime movie out there.

Not a bad movie at all. It got its moments here and there. And we get to see Eva Mendes, and we are introduced to some of the other cast, that we be back in the later movies. But even with a interesting story, some cool chases, this isnt my favorite. They decided to change almost all of the orginalcast from the 1st one. No good at all. But other then that, i enjoyed this as well.

I finally got around to watch this one after having it in my unwatched pile forever. And i actually enjoyed it somewhat. For me the movie could be a real classic if the story wasnt all over the place. And the movie seemed a bit rushed some places. But other than that, the movie had some great moments, some big names. Some good acting. All in all, a decent thriller. Not great, but not the worst i've seen either. Guess i maby expected just a bit more.

I just have to start of by saying that i've not been the biggest Tom Cruise fan. But as Ethan Hunt, he's done a great job. And this last movie in the franchise is another great movie in the series. Cool plot, a good Tom Cruise in form, even tho he's getting a bit older. Alot of cool spots here and there. And its always good to see a Jeremy Renner in form aswell. I actually think this movie might be the best in the series so far. Really enjoyed it!

After watching Leo at the Golden Globes last night, i was in a mood for a Leo movie. And i havent seen Blood Diamond since it first came out years ago. And wow, what a movie it is! The movie takes on a ride in Africa, and we get to see how the Diamond buisness work, when it goes in to the wrong hands. Interesting to see how corrupt some people can be.Just sad really. And i just have to say that Leonardo Dicaprio IMHO is doing the role of his life. Just an amazing movie trough and trough. Highly recommanded to check it out. And this bluray got alot of great extras aswell.

It starts right off the bat, and it keeps its intensety up trough out. A interesting story about a stepfather who isnt who he says he is. And we get a good cast that works well together. We have some great moments here and there, and Dylan Walsh was good as the evil stepdad. All in all, great horror movie with a great deal of suspence too. A must watch for you horrorfans out there!

I decided to rewatch all of the Resident Evil movies, (seen most of them on DVD, but never on blu i think) so i did that now. And the first 4 movies is just great zombie horror action! Alot of great spots ofc here and there. Alot of cool zombies, alot of blood. And Milla Jovovich is great as Alice the zombiekiller.
Just a great zombiehorror series. I really love the Resident Evil series. And hopefully today or tomorrow i will watch the 5th and last movie (so far) in the series. Its recommanded to check the movies out.

But another great movie, with a really interesting ending to the movie. So i cant wait till the last movie is coming out in '17. And this bluray got alot of great extras too. Well worth checking out!

If course, a reboot is probably not out of the question though... Zombies still sell very well.

Over more than four decades, the drug-fueled, raspy-voiced Kilmister's career has intersected with many of the touchstone moments in rock: He saw the Beatles at the Cavern Club, he served as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix, he mentored Sid Vicious and played in both Merseybeat and psychedelic rock bands before fusing punk and metal and thus providing the inspiration for thrash metals with Motörhead.
Along the way, he forever inspired the likes of Dave Grohl, Slash and Metallica, all of whom appear in LEMMY, alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Peter Hook, Jarvis Cocker and more.

They also run the friendly Motel Hello (the 'o' in the neon sign sometimes goes on the blink), and no matter how many times you've seen Psycho or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you can be sure that everything will be perfectly above board here as Vincent’s brother Bruce is the local sheriff.
Western veteran Rory Calhoun gives a lipsmackingly demented performance as Farmer Vincent, whose twinkling bonhomie conceals a deeply depraved secret.
Directed by Kevin Connor (maker of much-loved British genre classics The Land That Time Forgot and Warlords of Atlantis) and with legendary DJ Wolfman Jack as a fire-and-brimstone TV preacher, this is a gleefully twisted horror-comedy that climaxes with a showstopping chainsaw duel.

My Review:
What a great Bond movie. One of the better i've seen in a while. Almost up there with Skyfall and Casino Royale! Really got the "Bond feeling" again from this one. Wont say too much, we all know what Bond is about. But am i crazy or is Daniel Craig one of the better (if not the best) James Bond since Sean Connerey?
Amazing movie. Recommanded highly even if you isnt a bond fan. Great movie!

But am i crazy or is Daniel Craig one of the better (if not the best) James Bond since Sean Connery?You are not crazy... Or we both are.
Too bad he doesn't want to do it anymore. Rumor says it he declined a rather large offer (which would have been for two more movies though).
As Spectre is somewhat open ended, they are in just as a silly situation as they were after Quantum of Solace. I feel they should have wrapped it up here, but I guess they want to use Blofeld in at least 1, or better 2, more movie(s). I am a bit fatigued of Bond now being a 4-film series, maybe even 5, rather than the contained stories they used to be.

So i guess that was that? This was the end. I really enjoyed the first movies, but the mockingjay "series" wasnt my favorites tho. Some cool effects and some cool scenes here and there. And we all knew i guess what was coming. And i guess the ending (even tho we knew how it would end, was just fitting) But not a bad movie at all really. Enjoyed it. And it had its moments, but not my favorite Hunger Games movie tho. But The hunger games is recommanded to check out.
And it helps that i'm in love with Jennifer Lawrence i guess. :-[

Wow, that was actually a real good "follow up" movie. Great story, and ofc we had to see Annabelle the creepy doll! I hate dolls and clowns! Dont know why, but i find they so scary for some reason. Some real good moments trough out. Alot of good scare moments, like Annabelle. This is a horror movie you should watch when its dark and rainy outside. And home alone, and in a dark room.
Really recommand the movie. A real good movie for you horror fans out there.

Me being a fan of movies that are from true events, and a fan of history. I knew about the story, seen something before on tv. And i knew that he was caught not many years ago. And this biopic about his life, and how things was "handled" back when he was the boss was real interesting. And Johnny Depp as Mr.Bulger a crimeboss was actually refreshing. Not used to see Depp in those kind of roles, and he did a good job too IMHO. Overall this was a good action\mob movie, based on a true story or not. I would highly recommand to check it out! I really enjoyed it anyways.

I've seen mixed reviews about this movie so i hadnt too high expectations watching it. But man, what a cool horror movie it really was! It started off a bit slow, with a few events here and there. And boom there comes a real cool twist in the middle of the movie i never saw coming, and after that it picked up.
I really enjoyed this one. If you go in with low expactations i think you really will like it and find the twist real cool. I recommand you to check it out.

Well, we all know what we get with a Liam Neeson movie. Usually a fast pased action movie, with alot of shooting and swearing. And it wasnt any different here, but there was some big names in the movie who showed that they still got it. They plot wasnt anything special, but they made it work. And it was cool to see both Ed Harris and Bruce McGill again, (being a fan of Rizzoli & Isles the tv-show, where he plays now) I recommand you to take a look at the movie, just know what its a typical Neeson movie. With alot of action and some real good moments here and there.
And i guess the extras on this blu-ray disc could have been just a bit better. We get some deleted scenes etc. But i miss a few things in the extras. But thats just me tho.

Well, i actually really liked this movie more then i thought i would. I've always had a thing for movies that is based on a true story. Like this one. And even though the story was\is a bit of a rough one, it was also a feel good movie that you knew would have a happy ending somehow. And i'm a big fan of Jennifer Lawrence! What a actress she's become huh? I remember i first saw her in Winter's Bone. And ever since that movie i've liked her, and even from the hunger games movies and to this one. I think she will win more awards and Oscars the years to come. I am a real big fan anyways. And she was amazing in this one aswell. Recommanded to check this one out! 2 good hours spent.

And even tho it is a horror flick, there is alot of suspence aswell. And what makes the movie even better (for me) is that it is based on a true story! Love movies that are based on a true story. Man, there are some really sick people out there. A movie that i really recommand for horror fans!

So, that movie cost me $10. And the only reason i bought it was because i got the rest of the movies in my collection, so i wanted to complete it. And to be honest about this 6th (7th if you count the Tokyo one) it isnt the best horror movie or movie in this series. It got its moments here and there, but nothing "wow" moments really. Not a bad movie either, but IMHO i think they should have stopped after the 2nd movie. But for $10 its ok to have in your collection. Just dont go in to the movie with big expactations.
All in all, an ok movie. But i think its enough now.

Uhm, what to say about this one? I really dont know what to say about it really. Saw the trailer and i liked J.Lo in it, and it is a long time since i've seen her in a movie. This "erotic thriller" as they called it, had it moments, and J.Lo had its moments awell. Was cool to see her again tho. But the movie was too slow for me really to be that really "wow, what a good movie" this was. But i've seen worse, and i've seen better. I wouldnt pay full price for it tho.

But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile.

So, i've fallen behind on my reviews lately. Watched a few good movies and a few not so good movies. And alot of tv-shows! So i decided to try to get back on track. So i jusy watched this, the trailer looked decent and Bruce Willis was in it aswell, so decided to give it a try. The movie starts of strong really with a interesting plot, but after that it kinda slows down, and after that it really stays at a real slow pace. Switching between a "real universe" and a "fake universe" and after that things really gets a bit weird. Not the worst movie i've seen, but far from the best movie i've seen. I wouldnt pay full buck for it, but if you find it cheap somewhere, check it out.

When a young couple goes missing in a sleepy English village, Scotland Yard Inspector Gorley (David Warbeck, The Beyond) is brought in to assist on the case. But what starts off as routine investigation turns into a murder mystery inquiry when the couple are found dead in mysterious circumstances.
Fusing a classically gothic atmosphere with the decidedly more visceral elements that are the hallmark of Fulci's films, The Black Cat is too-often overlooked and underrated entry in the Italian master filmmaker's canon.

Well, that was fun! I've heard alot of great things about this movie, and with good reason too. Great action flick with alot of great moments and scenes trough out. Not really a dull moment.

Check it out! Highly recommanded if you like Action, or just a good movie.

My Review:
Well, i bought this movie just because of Jennifer Aniston. Its nice to see her play in something other than the comedies she usually plays in! And i have to admit that i got a thing for Jennifer Aniston, had it since her Friends days. And i'll be honest with you guys, it isnt a movie for everybody. Its a dark movie in alot of ways. But i really liked it because of Jennifer Aniston. And let me just say that Jennifer Aniston plays the role of her life in this movie. Best performance from her so far in her career. If you are a fan of Jennifer Aniston, this a must see. Never seen her better! Amazing.

Well, that was a fun ride i guess. I got recommanded this movie from a family member. Who really love this movie, so i decided to give it a try. And it is a cool car-chase movie. Old but still fairly decent though. Had some good scenes trough-out, and some good chases too. BUT they could have done just a bit more with the cool cars and the chases IMHO, to make this a really GREAT movie. Not a bad movie at all, but not the best i've seen either. But worth a look for a cheap penny. And this blurayset got some cool extras aswell.

My Review:
Wow, first off i just have to say that this is one of the best documentaries i've seen. Top notch! What a sad story this really is, and what a shame it all is. Amy Whinehouse had one of the best Jazz voices out there. And she had it all, fame, money a great career. But she had really bad people around her that just used her for the money and the fame. And the started with the drugs, and after that it all fell apart. Really sad to see how drugs happy funtimes you up. And as everyone knows she died way to early because of her lifestyle. What a shame, and what a waste of talent. I feel real sorry for her when i see what happened to her. People do the most messed up things when it comes to money and drugs. Sad. If you like music, or Amy this is a must watch. And this blurayset have some real cool extras too. And i just have to say that i really dont get why people who have it all (the money, the fame, this great career) starts to do the drugs?

Ugh, "most controversial movie of all time!" it says on the cover.. And i think that actually might be true on this one. I've seen alot of horror movies trough-out the years (since thats one my favorite genres) but i've never ever seen anything like this one. That was the most difficult movie to watch. Really hard to not turn it off, lot of scenes that i cant even start to describe. This is a horror movie that i'm not going to recommand you to watch, but watch the thrailer and decide yourself. Its not a horror movie i will watch again tho. And for the rating for this one, even tho there was some good horror scenes here and there, i'm not able to rate this movie actually.

Well, that was a bit of a suprise! A nice surprise that is. I've seen the other 3 REC movies, and i enjoyed the first two. Cool low budget zombie horror movies (Spanish horror movies are actually good) and then i watched the 3rd, and they messed up. And with the 4th one they went back to the original story, with a cool twist. Some cool scenes trough-out. All in all, i dont have much more to say other than that i really enjoyed this one. The REC franchise is actually a fairly decent Spanish horror franchise. Worth checking out IMHO.

Well, i thought since the newest Bourne movie will be out in the theaters quite soon, i wanted to rewatch the Bourne movies. The Bourne franchise is one of my favorite franchises, even better than Mission Impossible IMHO. Long time since i've watched them, but still as good as they was when they first came out. Matt Damon might just be the perfect spy. Hehe. Great start to the franchise. In the first one we really get to know Jason Bourne, and we follow his mission on the way to freedom and remebering whats happening to him. Most people have seen the movies, so i wont say too much other than that the blurayset i own is a great upgrate both with sound and picture. And there is alot of cool extras too. Looking forward to rewatch the 2nd soon. Hopefully tonight. Well worth the upgrade if you dont have the bluray version yet.

Ok, i'm ready for the latest Bourne to hit the theaters! Just finished the last one. I cant decide wich of the 3 i like the most. I guess i like all 3 of them alot. I did enjoy the 4th aswell, with Jeremy Renner in the lead aswell, but its not the same without Bourne in a Bourne movie. I really enjoyed this one, ofc there isnt a dull moment trough-out. And the way the movie ended i've always enjoyed, did he die? Did he survive? Since we didnt know if we would get a new Bourne movie, its your guess. So i'm looking forward to see how they have done things after all this years. Will be great! Maby the best spy franchise behind James Bond.
Ofc highly recommanded!

I know they want us to belive she did, but they never gives us a "real answer" Mr.Douglas and Ms.Stone played absolutely amazing in this. I could watch this movie over and over again.

So i've been in the mood for the "older classic" movies lately, and i decided to check this one out. Not sure if i've seen it before or not, but Steve Mcqueen is always a solid name. This is a typical old fashion gambler movie from the good old days. Really miss those movies. Again, a real good actionflick with a good Steve Mcqueen in the lead. And even tho you kinda knew how the movie would end, i still enjoyed it quite a bit. This blurayset offers great picture and sound, and there are some cool extras too. Check it out!

So, i've fallen behind on my reviews lately. But will try to get some reviews and some watched movies in soon. So, it is a real bad weather where i live, and we're told to stay inside. Perfect weather for some movies! And i've wanted to check this out since i saw the thrailer. It is a typical spy-thriller, one being framed and the big chase is on. Not the best movie i've seen this year, but not a bad one either. Some cool moments here and there, and a cast that works well together. If you go in to this movie and not expecting Jason Bourne or James Bond, i think you will enjoy it actually. A decent flick.

My Review:
Well, going in to this one, i've seen mixed reviews. And the trailer was decent enough. But the movie wasnt too bad actually. We got some cool moments here and there. And there was a few good scare moments aswell. Its a fairly "small production" tho. Mainly just one actress trough-out the movie. The story was uknown to me, before watching it. But i've understood that there are a few movies about the same story. All in all, a fairly ok horrorflick with some good moments here and there.

Woah, that was actually alot better then i expected it to be. I remember i watched the first one, and i thought that was ok. So i wanted to check this one out for a cheap penny.

My Review:
Well, that was kinda interesting. Heard alot of mixed reviews about this one, and i really enjoyed the thrailer too. The movie had a interesting story about a creepy doll. And as the movie goes along we get to know more about the doll and the story about it and the family who lives there. Had some good moments here and there (i dont like dolls at all) so i think that made it a bit better. But, they could have done a bit more with the movie IMHO, the pace was a bit too slow trough-out, could have been a bit more scare moments. But anyways, it wasnt the best flick i've seen, but not the worst either. A decent one, check it out for a cheap penny.

Well, that was bringing fun memories back! From when Windows 95 ruled the world, and Doom was the only game out there. And floppydisk was the only thing, no cdrooms or anything. So that was fun, going back memorylane. But other than that (for me) the movie was actually a good one. Not a movie for everyone tho. Its a cool movie with a interesting story with a young Sandra Bullock as the lead. Me being a fan of her, i really enjoyed it. If you are a Sandra Bullock fan check it out, if not.. Check out the thrailer first.

Ever since i saw the thrailer for this one i knew i had to have it. And i finally got around to watch it. And the movie actually delivers (for me that is) big time.

And i have to say - yes it is a horror flick. I've seen people been wondering if it is actually a horrorflick or not. And i would have to say yes it is! Just a great flick, recommanded to check it out.

Stuart Whitman
Plot:
Nearly a decade before he donned Freddy Krueger's famous red and green sweater, horror icon Robert Englund delivered a supremely sleazy performance in Eaten Alive – another essay in taut Southern terror from Tobe Hooper, director of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Deep in the Louisiana bayou sits the ramshackle Starlight Hotel, destination of choice for those who like to check in but not check out! Bumbling Judd, the patron of this particular establishment, may seem like a good-natured ol' Southern gent – but he has a mean temper on him, and a mighty large scythe to boot...
Oozing atmosphere from its every pore (the entire film was shot on a sound-stage which lends it a queasy, claustrophobic feel), Eaten Alive matches The Texas Chain Saw Massacre for sheer insanity – helped in no small part by some marvellous histrionics from Chain Saw star Marilyn Burns and William Finley (Phantom of the Paradise).

My Review:
Well, that wasnt as i expected at all really. But anyways, the movie wasnt bad at all, but the story\plot wasnt what i expected it to be either. But they made it work to a point. Mr.Washington plays somekind of a "different" superhero, he got a normal job at day, but hunts criminals at night. Wich make for a good story, but the movie was a bit too slow paced (for me) to really give it a top score. There was some real cool actionscenes here and there, but there was too few of them. I like that they give us the back story and a reason "why" he does what he does. But they should have showed us a bit more of the actionscenes, it is a action\thriller flick afterall. But it had its moments, not a bad movie at all! But not a perfect one. Still recommanded tho! And this blurayset got some great extras too!

Woah, that was a movie i was looking forward to check out. Based on a true story about NFL and how they coverup secrets about injuries etc. And the movie was great, powerfull story, and there was everything from drama, suspence, even some romance. Was interesting to actually "get to know all the facts" Yeah, every case got two sides. And Will Smith who play's this doctor from Nigeria who fights against the powerfull NFL, hands down his best performance yet. Man, if was great. Nailed it! And this blurayset got a tons of real good extras! Amazing movie. Check it out!

I havent seen this before today. Watched the thrailer and heard good things about it. And with Morgan Freeman you always get solid stuff. And the movie was a decent dark thriller, with a dark story. And Mr.Freeman and Ms.Judd again as the main characters. Works well together in this one too. But not as well as they did in "High Crimes" IMHO. And the movie had some twist and turns here and there, but you knew how it would end. All in all, a decent movie. Check it out for a cheap penny. And for me i just have to say that with Jim Patterson, the adaptions are either miss or hit when it comes to the movies.

My Review:
Woah, i guess i'm a bit late to the party, but finally watched this one! And what a amazing movie this was. Based on a true story ofc. Wich makes the story\movie that much stronger to watch. What a journey they put us trough. And wow, the cast was great aswell. The scenery was breathtaking. And the sound and picture was amazing aswell. And as we know with Mount Everest, its not every story that ends on a good note. This story ends with both a good and not that good ending. This is a must watch. Perfect!

My Review:
So, this was one of my favorite comedy's when i grew up. And when i found out that it was on bluray i had to have them. We all know the story about Ace Ventura. Its one of the better comedy's i've ever seen. A young Jim Carrey who is just top notch as a crazy Ace Ventura. The movie got alot of LOL moments trough-out. I actually caught myself laughing out loud. Some great lines aswell. And the transfer to bluray is also amazing. Picture and sound are so much better then the DVD's. And this great blurayset got some great extras too. Its a must have! Now i will watch the 2nd Ventura movie, before the horror marathon begins again.

We all know the story and the outcome, so nothing new there. But what they have done with this, superb! Highly recommanded to check out.

My Review:
Woah. I really love the Jason Bourne franchise. I've enjoyed them all. Even the "Bourne" movie without Jason Bourne, not as good tho. I watched this when it first came out in the theaters and really loved it. And i rewatched it now at home. And wow. What a movie they have made. Jason Bourne as its best! And Matt Damon was\is in his best chape of his life. And for me (who is a big fan of Alicia Wikander) really loved what she's been doing lately, and specially in this one. She's making a big name for herself (specially with her oscar win!) This for me might just be the best Bourne movie ever made! And with that ending, i think we will see a number 2! Ofc, you have to check it out!!

Well, i've heard alot about this, and the trailer looked great. And a hot Blake Lively in a tiny bikini helps aswell ;) So i watched this last night. And the movie has a great story actually, what a young girl have to do to survive a shark attack and being left for dead at sea. Lot of great moments trough-out. Ok acting sometimes. And the movie is actually very suspenceful trough-out. And this blurayset offers some great extras, while worth watching! All in all a great horror flick! Check it out!
"The best shark movie since Jaws" says on the bluraycover. I dont know if i would go that far.. Maby, but not close to Jaws anyhow. But a great horror flick nonetheless!

I also quite enjoyed it! It is fun popcorn entertainment with quite a few good thrills through out. The premise is set up believable enough and while the first part of the ending (final battle with the shark) was a little over the top, I did like the epilogue bit...
The shark is mostly CGI, which of course becomes obvious in several moments. But, real sharks on the other hand are out of the question to be used and the Jaws shark looks quite hokey too (which doesn't matter too much when it's eventually revealed in full, as the viewer is already invested in the story otherwise...)

Jessica Alba as a blind girl who get new eyes, and stuff happens ofcourse with her and her new eyes. The story had me glued to the tv, and it had some real good and creepy moments trough-out. And the picture and sound was a big step up aswell. This movie was (for me) a real good horror movie. And ofc, who doesnt like Jessica Alba? <3

So, i almost never write reviews anymore, but some movies is just have to say a thing or two about. Good or bad. This movie i've heard some real great things about and really enjoyed the trailer, so when i found it for under $8 it was a no brainer. And i watched the movie last night. And the movie is actually brilliant. Really loved it, the story is real simple, but holy hell. Some awesome moments trough-out. A simple but real good with some amazing spots trough-out. Its a must watch for all horror fans!

My Review:
So, Fast & The Furious has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Always enjoyed the movies, the car chases, cool cars etc. But the latest movies has turned in to pure action movies with less and less car scenes. Still good movies, dont get me wrong. But not "a car" movie franchise anymore. Still some cool moments here and there. But for the last two movies (9/10) i hope they will go back to what they started with. Would be awesome. But all in all, its a movie you have to watch anyways. And i enjoyed it tho.

When Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), a young African-American man, visits his white girlfriend's (Allison Williams) family estate, he becomes ensnared in the more sinister, real reason for the invitation. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined. This speculative thriller from Blumhouse (producers of The Visit, Insidious series and The Gift) and the mind of Jordan Peele (Key & Peele) is equal parts gripping thriller and provocative commentary.

My Review:
Woah, that was kinda intense and a bit different then i expected it to be.. I pre-ordered it a while back after watching the thrailer, and i found it interesting. The movie got a creepy mood trough-out the whole movie, right off the bat you know something is real wrong in a creepy good way. And then all the freaky stuff starts to happen, and the movie takes us trough some cool twists and turns i didnt see coming. For me this was a real great horror\thriller with a twisted but good story. All in all, this is a must watch! Was much better then i expected it to be! And this blurayset comes with some great extras aswell.

Well, i decided to check this one out last night. And this was a first time watch for me, so i didnt know what to expect really. Just what people has said about it, and ofc the book.

I know alot of people wont agree with me on this, but this was one of the better horror movies i've seen in a while! Great moments trough-out. And just a creepy (in a good way) trough-out. And with this premium set you got a thon of interviews with both Stephen King and the people who made the movie. All in all, this was a great movie! Is a must have if you ask me.

David McCallum (1933)

Dean Santoro
Plot:
In the wake of JAWS (1975) audiences were treated to all number of nature-run-amok movies - from Jeff Lieberman's killer worm outing SQUIRM (1976) to the national park nightmare GRIZZLY (1976). Equally quick off-the-bat was DOGS, also unleashed in 1976, and treating terror-hungry audiences to an outbreak of canine carnage in a small California town. Featuring the thespian talents of British actor David McCallum (THE GREAT ESCAPE), the action comes thick and fast as 'man's best friend' is turned against its owner and chows down on human flesh - in the streets, in the corridors of a university and even in the shower... no one is safe from being mauled by a pack of blood thirsty four-legged fiends! Best compared to Stephen King's gut-wrencher CUJO (1983), few fans of 42nd Street ferocity will deny that DOGS is a B-movie masterpiece that you would be barking mad to miss!

There are some movies i feel i have to say a few things about, and this one is one of them! Just watched it recently, havent watched it before. And wow, what an' amazing movie this actually was! Just a great horror movie trough-out, great moments trough-out. And they managed even to make the puddles scary. And even tho i havent watched the DVD or VHS, i have to say that this bluray version is just amazing with the upscaled picture, widescreen and amazing sound. Not a perfect movie, but a really really good one! Really happy i got this one! Check it out my fellow movie\horror lovers!

Plot:
Shot outside Pittsburgh on a shoestring budget, by a band of filmmakers determined to make their mark, Night of the Living Dead, directed by horror master George A. Romero, is a great story of independent cinema: a midnight hit turned box-office smash that became one of the most influential films of all time. A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of recently dead, flesh-eating ghouls, Romero's claustrophobic vision of a late-1960s America literally tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combining gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in its lead role. Stark, haunting, and more relevant today than ever, Night of the Living Dead is back.

So, anyone who knows me knows i really like history and movies that are based on a true story. And this is the\a story about the watergate scandal and we get to see the person behind 'Deep throat' I've seen alot of movies and read alot of stuff about the Watergate and Nixon ofc, but this movie shine a different kind of light on the story from a POV i havent seen before. A great cast who works really well together, and the story is real good and interesting, keeps me glued to the tv trough-out. A must watch\have movie for you collectors and history buffs out there (just like me)
My Rating:
And if any of you guys have any good history movies to recommand etc, i apprecite it :D
Post by: GSyren on April 17, 2018, 11:52:58 AM
Thare are, of course, tons of movies about World War II. I know you have Max Manus, but I don't see The Heroes of Telemark in your collection. Sure it is a bit fictionalized, but it is after all an important piece of Norwegian history, so ... ?
I don't see either of the big "Bridge" movies; A Bridge Too Far and The Bridge at Remagen. The latter is kind of interesting, because the history of the movie is almost as fascinating as the history in the movie.
A movie that I would definitely recommend is The Missiles of October about the Cuba crisis in 1962, or the remake Thirteen Days with Kevin Costner.
If you're interested in older US history, there is always The Alamo with John Wayne (or the remake with Billy Bob Thornton, although I personally prefer the original). I saw The Alamo on my 14th birthday and was really hooked on the story, so I may be a bit biased on that one. I also had the good fortune of being sent to San Antonio on business trips when I worked for Datapoint (which was headquartered there), so I had a chance to see the real Alamo, in what is now downtown San Antonio.
Or for something lighter, Anna and The King [of Siam] or its musical version The King and I.
So many films, so little time ... :)
Post by: Piffi on April 18, 2018, 11:11:48 PM
I love older US history. Just finished with Killer Angels (the book) a book about the us civil war. Really enjoyed that one. The Alamo i've heard alot of good things about. And i have to agree with you, i will have to say too many films and way to little time! I spend too much time at work i think! ;) hehe

And when it comes to Steve Buscemi, he is a great creep. He plays the creeps just so wonderful. It seems so real,
and when i come to think of it, i havent seen Steve Buscemi in a part where he didnt play either a creep (pedophile) or
any other type of criminal. There are some actors that just "are made" for that villian part. Like Sir Anthony Hopkins aswell.
