The Unbelievers

The Unbelievers

Review: Interesting documentary that follows Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss as they speak publicly around the globe about the importance of science and reason in the modern world. 

Rating: 6.5/10

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

Review: How I just loved Sin City when it came out in 2005. The color processing, the humour, the characters and the violence was just a treat for my eyes back then. I have been looking forward to the follow up ever since, and finally it's here. Is it as good as the first one then? No, not really. Or perhaps it is, but it's not feeling that fresh anymore and don't impress me as much as the first one did. Worth watching? Definitely!

Rating: 7/10

Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow

Review: A really quite decent sci-fi flick starring the one and only Mr. Cruise. Nice effects and an OK story made this an entertaining watch. 

Rating: 7/10

Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton

Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton

Review: A great documentary about Stones Throw Records, one of my all-time favourite record labels. It's all about the love of good music. 

Rating: 8/10

En gång om året

En gång om året

Review: I've been looking forward to watching this film ever since I heard about it for the first time. Not because it seemed like a good one, and it really wasn't. No, the reason why I've been wanting to see it was the soundtrack. The people responsible for making it is Kristian Matsson and Amanda Hollingby Matsson, better known as The Tallest Man on Earth and Idiot Wind. And the music did not disappoint. Would love for it to end up as a physical release. The film though is easily forgetable.

Review: One man. One car. One hands-free mobile device. One good film.

Pure Fucking Mayhem

Pure Fucking Mayhem

Review: I'm pretty sure that I have watched this documentary about the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem before, but this time around I sat down to watch it focused. It's an interesting tale of the legendary band with all its bizarre ups and downs, and it really tells us their view on it all. 

Rating: 7/10

Free Angela and All Political Prisoners

Free Angela and All Political Prisoners

Review: A really interesting documentary about Black Panther and freedom fighter Angela Davis. Worth watching for anyone interested in modern history and the fight for equal rights.

Three Miles North of Molkom

Three Miles North of Molkom

Review: Interesting documentary about a new age retreat/event that both fascinates and makes you shake your head in disbelief. 

Rating: 6/10

Monty Python Live (mostly)

Monty Python Live (mostly)

Review: Watching the last Monty Python live show is not as much a joy because of the performances, but for the pure experience of seeing these comedy heroes doing their classic material one last time. A real treat. 

Rating: 6/10

A Long Way Down

A Long Way Down

Review: Charming adaption of Nick Hornby's novel by the same name. Not a masterpiece, but sure worth watching.

Sharknado 2: The Second One

Sharknado 2: The Second One

Review: Ah, a new Sharknado flick! What a wonderful treat of lousy effects, crappy acting and horrible dialogue. I am happy with it!

Rating: 4/10

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
