The Seven Five

The Seven Five

Review: This documentary about some crooked NYPD cops is like a real life Goodfellas. Well made and interesting.

Rating: 7/10


The Fifth Estate

The Fifth Estate

Review: A really quite boring drama thriller about a bit of the history of WikiLeaks. The only good thing in it is Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of Julian Assange. Other than that, less than memorable. 

Rating: 5/10

Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives

Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives

Review: Ah! This documentary really brought back a lot of memories for me. Ordering copies of The Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito Show from Mr. Bongo in London and sitting home listening to freestyles by some of the greatest emcees. This is hip hop at it's prime, and people like Stretch & Bobbito are some of the people I give the biggest props to. This documentary is a must see for anyone remotely interested in hip hop as a culture. 

Rating: 8.5/10

Salad Days

Salad Days

Review: I've been wanting to see Salad Days since the first time I heard about it, and today I finally had the opportunity to do so. This is a documentary about the D.C. punk during the eighties. It's filled with great music, interesting stories and wonderful artists. I would even recommend this to anyone with just a slight interest in modern music history. 

Rating: 7.5/10

This Is England '90

This Is England '90

Review: Not often that I write about all the tv series that I see, but I just have to this time. I loved the film This Is England when it came out in 2006, and I have loved the sequel series that has been made. And after watching the latest one, This Is England '90, I'm blown away. This is about as good as it gets when it comes. Period. There's nothing about it that I can complain about. My brother Åke sometimes asks if nothing ever get 10/10 as a rating. Well, this one does. 

Rating: 10/10

Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland

Review: Some nice visuals, but way too uneven storytelling to be entertaining in the long run. And quite unimaginative story to begin with. 

Rating: 4.5/10


Finders Keepers

Finders Keepers

Review: A captivating documentary about two very sad characters and the fight over the ownership of a leg. Sounds crazy, and it is. But it's also human and warm. 

Rating: 6.5/10

Terminator Genisys

Terminator Genisys

Review: What was the point of making this film? None that I can think of. Nice effects, but that's all. 

Rating: 3.5/10


I Dream of Wires

I Dream of Wires

Review: An interesting documentary about the history of modular synthesizers. Perhaps a bit too tech geeky at times, but I enjoyed it.

Rating: 6.5/10
