My Thoughts:
Wow. Going in to this movie, i didnt have any expectations at all. Heard alot of good stuff about it, but didnt know what to think. It starts off a bit slow IMO. But it picked up just great. Interesting story to the movie. Wich i enjoyed. A bit different from the other horror movies. (wich is always good imo) And the movie have a bit of twist and turns too, its just not straight ahead - finished. It happens a few things trough the movie that makes you have to keep close attention trough out the movie. I liked how they did the story. I just hoped we would see a bit more of Samuel L Jackson. But on the other hand, Mr. Cusack was just great in this movie! A bit different horror movie that i highly reccomand!

My Thoughts:
This is supposed to be a BIG norwegian movie, that has been hyped up a quite a bit. The best movie of the year etc. With a strong story etc. And i will have to agree with the story, it was a strong story. But that the movie is\was one of the biggest of the year i dont agree with. Despite liking the story\plot. They failed a bit IMO. The lead actor didnt do a good part at all. You could see he wasnt used to be in front of the camera. And you could see it on the whole guy that he was "reading" his lines from a manus. (no good) And the movie was waay to slow for me. Wich made the story and movie not that beliveble for me. It was a movie that had great potential for me, but they blew it in to many places for me to enjoy it. (sorry)

My Thoughts:
This (along with Kill Bill: Vol. 2) was a gift I got for my birthday this past month. As you may notice by the rating used... I was given the Canadian DVD Releases. I have heard a lot of good things about this movie... and the trailer looked like a lot of fun. So I think I went into this one with my expectations higher then they should have been. Thankfully in this case that didn't hurt much... as I still enjoyed this one quite a bit. There is certain aspects of the film I have mixed feelings about. And that is more with how the film was made then it was the story. The use of a couple scenes in Black & White... the use of animation for one of the storylines in the film... and finally jumping around in the story's timeline a bit. I am not saying these things are bad... just more of a distraction for me. But at the same time I found them to be fascinating as I never seen them all used in a film before. So while it did seem to be a bit of a distraction... it was also one of the things I did enjoy about the film when looked at as a whole. Confused? Yeah... me too! Over-all I found the entire movie both fascinating and entertaining. I enjoyed every moment of it. Definitely one I would recommend.

My Thoughts:
When i first saw the trailer for this movie, i was looking forward to watch it. Looked like an awesome movie. And with big names like Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas and Ewan McGregor it ofc had the potential to be great. It started of good. But for me it was a bit too much back and forth in time for my taste. I would say the movie is a mix between a spy movie and a Jason Bourne wannabe movie. The story was interesting enough, but it was shifting between going back in time and what happend for a long time ago, and suddenly switch to the present. Can be confusing at times. And with both Banderas AND Douglas i think they could have done alot better. Both Douglas and Banderas had real small parts in the movie. Something i think was a mistake. All in all, an ok movie. But a movie they could have done alot better with. If your not sure if you want to watch it or not. Check out the trailer, and if it looks ok. Give it a try.

My Thoughts:
Well, lets just start of by saying that the picture quality and sound quality was just amazing in this movie. Great job well done! And for the movie itself, i enjoyed it quite a bit. The story was ok, nothing too original. Nothing that havent been shown in a horror movie before. But they did a good job with what they had i think. A lot of 'good' gore scenes (as the movie is about) Its not along movie, it lasts for about 1hour and 15 minutes, so i think they do a good job in that short period of time. A few scary parts, and a few suprises in the movie aswell. Cant complain about that. But the things i didnt like was how the movie ended. And there was a few parts they should have used more time to tell the story. But all in all, i enjoyed it. A good horror movie. Wich i recommand for the horror fans out there. As i said nothing a very original story. But i guess in horror almost everything is done by now so. =)

My Rating:
4/6

I just finished watching Bridemaids on Cinemax On-Demand. I heard a lot of good things about this movie... but I just don't see it. It actually took work for me to get through this movie. I was not impressed in the least. I found it to be a very unfunny waste of time. I am so glad I watched this movie on On-Demand instead of spending money for the DVD.

I've heard good things, but haven't gotten to this one.  May have to make it sooner than later.

My Thoughts:
This movie was a movie i was looking forward to watch. And it was just a real good movie, with both a very interesting and strong story. I've heard about Margaret Thacther and how she was as a primeminister in the UK. But thats it, so it was very nice and interesting to see how she became the primeminister and how she was as an primeminister. A strong story indeed wich i am glad i watched. But there was alot of time jumps in the movie, wich i didnt like that much. I think they could do without the time jumps in this movie. (but thats me) And i have to just say a quick word about Mery Streep in this movie. WOW what a part she did, very well deserved oscar win IMO. One of her best roles that i've seen anyways. An important movie i would say. I recommand you guys to watch this one.
