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.

My Thoughts:
I bought this while i was on vacation in Germany actually. Mainly because of Marilyn Monroe. And i actually enjoyed this one a fair bit. I just hoped i would see more of Marilyn Monroe tho. Some people would prolly disagree with me right now, but i would say this movie is a musical. 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. I enjoyed it, and i would say if you like musical's or just like Marilyn Monroe, give it a shot. (You are warned Pete)

My Thoughts:
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.

Audio: Norwegian
Subtitles: Norwegian

Stars:

He is ready - all he needs is his first case. Not even his father, a policeman, believes in Robert. One morning a mysterious lady turns up at his office. The skating legend Olav Stjernen has disappeared, and the family fears the worst. The reality is that they are in desperate need for an incompetent detective to please Olav Stjernens senile and awfully rich mother. Robert is the perfect man for the job! The family's secrets are far more dangerous than Robert expects, and with his own life on stake he sets out to get the truth. Maybe Robert is not so stupid as everyone thought?

Extras:
Interviews

My Thoughts:
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.

Brittany brought this film with her to show me... so we watched it this afternoon. I am not one that is a very big fan of Anime... but this film I enjoyed quite a bit. The story was interesting and all the characters were a lot of fun to watch... I especially enjoyed the flame Calcifer. I enjoyed this one enough that I would like to eventually add it to my own collection. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
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 Thoughts:
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 Thoughts:

As most of you know... I am a big fan of Sandra Bullock. So when I first saw the trailer for this film I couldn't wait to add it to my collection. I never seen this film before today. And I must say... I did enjoy it. Though I have to admit... I was expecting a little more from it then what I got. I think in the case of this one I let the hype get to me a little. Though I am not trying to complain... definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

I have the DVD/Blu-ray Combo of this film... took the opportunity to watch the Blu-ray disc for this viewing. The sites and sounds was fantastic. And the story was interesting. But there was just something about the trailer and all they hype that made me expect a little more from it.

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.

We just finished this film. I enjoyed it quite a bit... unfortunately Brittany wasn't as impressed with it as I was. Before watching this film everyone I talked to that seen it already said it was even better then the first. While I enjoyed it quite a bit... I don't think I would go that far. I would say it is as good as the first... but not better. It is definitely worth the time put in to watch it. I would say if you liked thef first film... then this one is a must see.

My Thoughts:

I have been looking forward to seeing this film since I seen the first one. To be honest... I ejoyed the first one more.... but this one is still a whole lot of fun to watch. As with the first one... I really liked Chloë Grace Moretz as Hit Girl. She is my favorite character in either film. I had my concerns about Jim Carrey being in this movie... but felt he did better then I expected. One thing I did NOT care for in this film was the "Sick Stick"... thought that was going more for the gross-out humor... something I really never cared for. Though I must say... I did like Hit Girl's motorcycle. Kinda reminded me of Batgirl from the old '60s Batman TV series. Over-all I am thrilled I finally got this one added to my collection... definitely recommended!

Plot:
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.

My Thoughts:
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.

Plot:
En ganske almindelig familie er blevet fundet dræbt i deres eget hjem. Intet er stjålet og de brutale drab giver umiddelbart ingen mening. Thomas pirres af mysteriet og brutaliteten, og påtager sig sagen.

Under efterforskningen bliver endnu en familie kidnappet og holdt fanget i deres hus. Morderen rydder ægtemanden af vejen, hvorpå han tvinger konen og børnene til at “spille” hans familie i en langtrukken sadistisk leg.

Thomas kommer på sporet af morderen, og får kontakt til familien, som han instruerer i, hvordan de skal spille med på morderens fantasi for at overleve. Men morderen opdager at Thomas og Katrine er på sporet af ham, og tager familien med sig på flugt. Thomas og Katrine må nu kæmpe en kamp mod uret for at nå frem til morderen og befri familien inden morderens utopi krakelerer!

My Thoughts:
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. Something interesting is happening between them. The cast still works great together. But still not sure if this was made as a tv-show first or if it was made directly for a tv-movie. Still good tho.
