Being Flynn

Being Flynn

Review: Nice to see Robert De Niro actually use a bit of his talent again, instead of wasting it like he mostly have done the last 10 years. This movie, that is based on a memoir by Nick Flynn, is a warm story about a boy and his estranged father and their struggle to survive in a cold ruthless world. Well made and thoughtful, and with some great acting all around, especially impressed by Paul Dano. Beautiful soundtrack from Badly Drawn Boy.

Rating: 7/10

Bindlestiffs

Bindlestiffs

Review: The reason why I, and most other people, decided to check out this film is because it's Kevin Smith's company SModcast Pictures first release. Having watched it now I can only ask: Why Kevin?! This was worse than bad, this was like the lamest kind of amateur film making. Not to be recommended.

Rating: 2/10

Albert Nobbs

Albert Nobbs

Review: Albert Nobbs is a really warm and beautiful movie taking place in Dublin in the late 19th century. Albert Nobbs, played by Glenn Close, is a woman who the majority of her life has pretended to be a man until one day when she sees an opportunity to live a different life. Some really nice acting in the movie, and especially by Close.

Rating: 7/10

Kevin Smith: Burn in Hell

Kevin Smith: Burn in Hell

Review: I do love watching Kevin Smith's Q&A's, and Kevin Smith: Burn in Hell was no different. Always entertaining.

Prometheus

Prometheus

Review: When I first heard of Prometheus I must say that I was a bit discouraged. First off all I wasn't sure about a new Alien movie, but the majority of my sceptisism had to do with the fact that Noomi Rapace would play one of the main characters. Never been a fan of her as an actress even if it's nice to see a fellow Swede getting some big roles now. But now I finally got around to watching it and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't a fantastic film, but it was well made and quite a joy for the eye to watch. Easy entertainment at it's best. Noomi also did better than expected, even if her accent makes me cringe a bit.

Rating: 6/10

God Bless America

God Bless America

Review: Ahh! Just the kind of movie that I was in the mood for right now. A dark and cynical comedy about Frank and Roxy and their violent killing spree cleansing the world of bad people. I loved it! A definite must see.

La piel que habito

La piel que habito

Review: The latest film from Pedro Almodóvar is a dark, thoughtful and frightening piece that probably won't attract the weak hearted. But if you, like me, already is a fan of his work I'm sure you will enjoy this one to the fullest. Not one of his best, but still definitely worth watching.

Rating: 6.5/10

Dallas

I just had to watch the 2 first episodes of the new season of Dallas. And after watching them I can understand even less why they revived this old classic show.

Louis Theroux - Twilight of the Porn Stars

15 years ago Louis Theroux made a documentary about the porn industry. Now he's back to revisit some of the people he met then as well as looking closer at an industry in decline. As always when it comes to Louis, you get warm, quite heartfelt moments that show the humanity in people. If you like his earlier work, you're bound to like this one.

Jeff, Who Lives at Home

Jeff, Who Lives at Home

Review: Charming movie from the people behind The Puffy Chair and Baghead. Not quite a feelgood movie as much as a feel kind of good movie. Nice acting from Jason Segel and Ed Helms.

Rating: 6.5/10

Game of Thrones Season 2

Just finished watching the last episode of the second season of Game of Thrones. I must admit that I liked this season better than the first one, but it's still not very good. But then again, tits and swords are always nice. We'll see if I will bother to see the third season though.

War of the Dead

War of the Dead

Review: Kind of like Band of Brothers. But with zombies, bad actors and a lame storyline. So in other means, not at all like Band of Brothers. But did I mention there are zombies?

Rating: 4/10

Men in Black III

Men in Black III

Review: This movie is kind of like Will Smith meets Back to the Future. Not really entertaining though. Kind of like both Men in Black and Back to the Future, this just feels really dated.
