X-Men: Days of Future Past

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Review: It is always a pleasure to watch a new X-Men flick, and the latest one did not disappoint me. Perhaps not the best one in the series, but definitely worth watching if you enjoy good Marvel entertainment. 

Rating: 7.5/10

Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann

Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann

Review: The film Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann is based on the novel with the same name. It's a cute story that in many ways remind you of Forrest Gump, but with out too much of the cheesiness. Some good acting also which makes it a feel-good film that is well worth checking out.

Rating: 7/10

Kaze tachinu

Kaze tachinu

Review: There is always something truly beautiful about watching a film by Hayao Miyazaki. The craftmanship alone is always astounding. I am also usually a big fan of his sometimes strange, but always rewarding, stories. I have to say though that Kaze tachinu did disappoint me a bit. Not when it comes to the visuals, because they are as beautiful as always. But the story didn't really capture me. Nonetheless, it's definitely worth watching. 

Rating: 6/10

The Queen of Versailles

The Queen of Versailles

Review: The Queen of Versailles starts out feeling like a Wives of Beverly Hills kind of show, but ends up being an interesting story about a billionaire family and their financial struggles in the wake of the economic crisis. A quite bizarre tale it is.

Rating: 7/10

Terms and Conditions May Apply

Review: An interesting documentary dealing with user-service agreements on sites such as Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. A scary insight into just how little of our personal privacy still is in our own control. A must-see!

The War Room

The War Room

Review: The War Room is a 1993 American documentary film about Bill Clinton's campaign for President of the United States during the 1992 presidential election. It's an interesting watch, but I think I would have got more out of it if I had watched it earlier. Now, 21 years later, it doesn't feel as special as I'm sure it would have back then. 

Rating: 6/10

The Monuments Men

The Monuments Men

Review: I hadn't really expected anything else, but this film still felt a bit too pompous and Hollywoodesque to be truly entertaining. Ok film with some good actors, but nothing else.
