Miss Representation

Miss Representation

Review: A documentary dealing with the under-representation of women in positions of power and the media and what that is doing to us as a people. A subject that is really interesting to talk about. I did however not feel that the documentary itself was that interesting and it didn't really say anything I didn't know already.

Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie

Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie

Review: I love Kevin Smith and I love Jay and Silent Bob. However, I don't love this adaptation of Kevin's Bluntman and Chronic comics. Not the least. 

Rating: 3.5/10

Still Alice

Still Alice

Review: A truly great performance by Julianne Moore in the role of a woman and her fight with Alzheimer's Disease. Strong, sad and totally worth watching.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1

Review: Time to watch yet another installment of The Hunger Games. Nothing special to be honest, and the lack of action kind of bored me in the end. OK film, nothing more. 

Rating: 5/10

Selma

Selma

Review: A very well made film about an incredibly important time in our modern history. Selma might feel a bit slow sometimes, but thanks to great acting and cinematography it's continuously a joy to watch. 

Rating: 7/10

Whiplash

Whiplash

Review: I wasn't sure what to think of this when I first heard about it. The main reason that I decided to watch it in the end was because of J.K. Simmons. I love that actor and he didn't disappoint me here. Nothing about this film disappointed. A really intense film with great acting and lots of emotions. A beauty. 

Rating: 8/10

The Lego Movie

The Lego Movie

Review: This is the first Lego based film or show that I've seen. I don't know why I decided to watch this one, but I'm not sorry I did. It was actually really fun and a good watch. 

Rating: 6.5/10

American Sniper

American Sniper

Review: There has been quite a lot of talk about this film. About whether or not it is OK to make a film more or less glorifying the life of a sniper. I don't buy into the whole hero theme of this film, but it is a very well made film with some really good acting. Definitely worth watching. One truly annoying part of the movie though is the satellite phone calls to the protagonist's wife. Like that would actually take place like that. 

Rating: 7/10

The Riot Club

The Riot Club

Review: A film adaptation of the play Posh. Not good. Not bad. An OK watch.

Rating: 5/10

Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler

Review: Some really creepy and good acting by Jake Gyllenhaal in this crime thriller. It is a dark, brutal and good film, so I recommend you to check this out. Unless you are in the mood for a feelgood flick. 

Rating: 7/10

Foxcatcher

Foxcatcher

Review: A low-key film based on the real life of multi millionarie John du Pont and the wrestling brothers Dave and Mark Schultz. It's a dark and quite tragic tale that is beautifully acted by Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo. 

Rating: 7/10

Big Hero 6

Big Hero 6

Review: A cute animated flick that I kind of was hoping would be more entertaining than it was. Not bad though, but nothing special.

Rating: 5/10

The Judge

The Judge

Review: A good drama with some really good acting. I've always been a huge fan of Robert Downey Jr., and he is doing a great job here but the true star here is Robert Duvall. I can totally understand why his nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor this year.
