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.

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.

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!

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

Kicking It

Kicking It

Review: This documentary takes place around the Homeless World Cup in soccer back in 2006. It might not be the best documentary I have seen technically, but the stories and the warmth in it is truly breathtaking at times. I really recommend it!

Rating: 7.5/10

The Coed and the Zombie Stoner

The Coed and the Zombie Stoner

Review: This flick is about as intelligent as the title would let you believe. But easy entertainment, and tonight that was what I was looking for.

Rating: 4/10

Punk in Africa

Punk in Africa

Review: A musically and historically interesting documentary about punk music in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. There is however something about the final product that feels a bit too unfinished somehow. 

Rating: 5.5/10

Trailer Park Boys: Live in Fucking Dublin

Trailer Park Boys: Live in Fucking Dublin

Review: I'm usually a huge fan of everything the Trailer Park Boys have done, but this live show from Dublin just bores me to be honest. 

Rating: 3/10

Godzilla

Godzilla

Review: This adaptation of the classic Godzilla flicks are way better than the one made back in 1998. The constant darkness in these films do bore me though. 

Rating: 5/10

A Million Ways to Die in the West

A Million Ways to Die in the West

Review: If you enjoy the humour of Family Guy and American Dad, then I am sure you will like this latest film from Seth MacFarlane. I know at least that I liked it. 

Rating: 6/10

More Than a Game

More Than a Game

Review: An interesting and warm documentary that follows LeBron James and his team mates in St. Vincent-St. Mary High School and their struggle to become national champions. A great story about basketball, family and friendship.

Rating: 7/10

After Porn Ends

After Porn Ends

Review: A documentary looking about what has happened to some porn stars after their careers ended. Not too bad, but not that interesting either.

Rating: 4.5/10

Naked Ambition: An R Rated Look at an X Rated Industry

Naked Ambition: An R Rated Look at an X Rated Industry

Review: What I was hoping to been an interesting documentary about the porn industry was a huge disappointment.

Jesus Camp

Jesus Camp

Review: If you enjoy really scary horror flicks, then you ought to like this one. The difference is that this is a documentary, and all the more scary for it.

Rating: 7.5/10

Undefeated

Undefeated

Review: I'm not a big fan of American football. Hey, I don't even understand the rules or anything. But that does not matter when I watch this documentary. It's warm and human and is a real pleasure to watch. 

Rating: 7/10

Into the Abyss

Into the Abyss

Review: Into the Abyss is a documentary film written and directed by Werner Herzog about two men convicted of a triple homicide, where of one is sentenced to death. I have really enjoyed some of Herzog's other documentaries, but this one never really grabs me. Interesting subject though.

Rating: 5/10

The Butler

The Butler

Review: Some really great acting saves this film that is inspired by the life of Eugene Allen. Allen was a butler at The White House between 1952-1986. Too many cliches in the end stops this from being a warm and beautiful film. Feel free to check it out though.

Rating: 5/10

The Interrupters

The Interrupters

Review: A very interesting documentary about a group of violence interrupters during a year in Chicago. Well made, thought provoking and definitely worth watching!

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.
