Philomena

Philomena

Review: A warm and beautiful story with two great actors. This film is based on a true story, and a sad and interesting one it is. The only downside in the film is how they made the character Philomena a bit too much of a innocent, funny character at times. Maybe she was like that in real life, but I feel like they compromised her in favor of some Hollywood charm. 

Rating: 6.5/10


Last Vegas

Last Vegas

Review: Sweet bromance feelgood featuring some great actors. Not a good movie, but still a bit pleasant.

Mig äger ingen

Mig äger ingen

Review: I really liked Åsa Linderborg's novel Mig äger ingen when it came out in 2008. This film is losely based on that novel. It's a heartfelt and tragic film that really touches you. I'm not sure if I prefer it to the novel though, but the acting by especially Mikael Persbrandt and Ping Mon H. Wallén is really great and makes this a very good film indeed. 

Rating: 7/10


Unbreakable

Unbreakable

Review: Not worth the time. Some ok acting, but the plot is super weak and just left me very bored.

Carrie

Carrie

Review: This remake of the classic film from 1976 is decent. Some good acting and some nice effects. All in all though, it feels totally pointless as long as the original is out there. 

Rating: 4.5/10

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Review: As much as I love Will Ferrell, I have to say that Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues was one of the worst flicks I've seen in quite some time.

Rating: 3/10

Dallas Buyers Club

Dallas Buyers Club

Review: I have to admit that I wasn't too convinced when I first heard about this film, but at the same time I knew I had to see it. And I'm really glad I did. A sad but warm story with some excellent acting. A strong recommendation!

Rating: 8/10
