The Expendables 3

The Expendables 3

Review: What can really be said about this latest installment in the Expendables series? It's just like the others. Over the top action, bad dialogue and crappy acting. In other words, nothing new. 

Rating: 3/10

Jodorowsky's Dune

Jodorowsky's Dune

Review: A wonderful documentary about perhaps the greatest movie never made. After seeing this film about Alejandro Jodorowsky's vision about Dune, it is sad that all we got in the end was David Lynch's version instead.

Rating: 8/10


The Class of '92

The Class of '92

Review: A warm documentary about six Manchester United players. Not a big soccer fan myself, but the friendship between these guys makes it worth the watch.

Rating: 6.5/10


The Punk Singer

The Punk Singer

Review: A really good documentary about Kathleen Hanna, known from, amongst other things, Bikini Kill and Le Tigre. An inspiring person telling an interesting story. On another note I just have to say that the coolest celebrity couple ever has to be Kathleen Hanna and Adam Horovitz.

Rating: 7.5/10


The Fades

The Fades

Review: I have promised a friend of mine to write this review about the British tv show The Fades, so here it goes. The Fades is a fantasy/horror show that was produced for one season. It's about the fight between the living and ghosts. Kind of. It is quite entertaining, but I can not really say why. It sure is not for the effects, because they are crap. And the acting is not the best either. But it is fun somehow, and that is often enough. 

Rating: 5.5/10

500 stenkastende autonome voldspsykopater fra helvede

Review: An independent documentary about the struggle of the Danish left-wing community house Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen , fighting against the state for the right to exist. Interesting watch even if the outcome of the struggle is old news to anyone the least interested in it.

Rating: 5.5/10

G-Dog

G-Dog

Review: Very interesting and warm documentary about Greg "G-Dog" Boyle, an American Jesuit Priest who is the man behind Homeboy Industries, a project in LA that deals with helping high-risk youth, former gang members and the recently incarcerated finding a way back into society. There should be more people out there like G-Dog! 

Rating: 7.5/10

Review: An interesting documentary about The Weather Underground, the radical left organization that was responsible for many politically linked bombings in the US back in the 70's.

Review: Comedian and political commentator Bill Maher takes a look at organized religion, and he does it in a funny way and is very much on point.

Rating: 4/10


The Last Gladiators

The Last Gladiators

Review: Documentary about the NHL's most feared enforces with an extra look at Chris Nilan. Worth checking out, especially if you are in to hockey. 

Rating: 5/10


Blackfish

Blackfish

Review: A truly heartbreaking and disturbing documentary about killer whales kept as performance animals. A film that for sure has made me never want to visit a place such as for example Sea World.

Rating: 8/10
