Extras:Digital Copy My Thoughts: Going in to this one, i didnt expect too much really. I enjoyed the first one, and i hoped\thinked it would be something similar to the first one. And it was kinda too, story was a bit different and a few new "big names" was added to the cast. Wich i liked. I liked how they continued with some of the story from the first movie aswell. And they still kept the same pace, actionpacked trough out the movie. And it was nice to see both Van Damme and ofc Chuck Norris back on the big screen too! For me this movie was really good. And a good follow up movie IMO. This movie is a must see for you guys that enjoyed the first movie! Highly recommanded! My Rating: 5/6 |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Growing Up BradyYear: 2000 Director: Richard A. Colla Writer: Matt Dorff Rating: Rated PG-13 : Thematic Elements and Some Sensuality Length: 88 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: None Stars:Adam Brody as Barry Williams Kaley Cuoco as Maureen McCormick Rebeccah Bush as Florence Henderson Kaitlin Cullum as Eve Plumb Ricky Ullman as Chris Knight Carly Schroeder as Susan Olsen Plot:This fabulous new biopic, based on the memoirs of actor Barry Williams (Greg Brady), reveals the behind-the-scenes truth about what really happened: the legendary off-screen battles between Robert Reed (Mike Brady) and the show's real daddy, series creator Sherwood Schwartz; Barry's date with his screen Mom; his relationship with "sister" Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) and the ultimate question - did they or didn't they? Extras:Scene Access Closed Captioned My Thoughts: I felt like watching something with Kaley Cuoco in it since today is her birthday. Since I recently watched all the Big Bang Theory sets I have... I decided to watch this film again. In this TV movie Kaley Cuoco plays Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady). This movie was made 12 years ago so she does look a bit younger in this one. After all going by imdb... Kaley was only 15 at the time of making this movie. It was odd though... in some scenes I actually saw Maureen McCormick in her. But in other scenes all I could see is Kaley Cuoco. I like that this was off the book written by Barry Williams (Greg)... it makes you feel you can believe at least a big part of it. And I learned a lot of things I didn't realize before... like the fact that the Brady Kids actually went on tour as a musical group. I was surprised that this movie didn't even touch on the trips they went on for the vacation episode... like the Grand Canyon and Hawaii. Over-all I found the movie to be both interesting and fun... so I am glad I picked it up. My Rating:

| | Posted: | | | | I was just flipping through the movies on On-Demand... when I spotted a movie starring Julie Benz that I never seen before... George of the Jungle 2... I never liked the cartoon as a kid but being a huge fan of Julie Benz I decided to give the movie a chance. And wow! Talk about complete and utter stupidity! I just couldn't do it... I turned it off after a short 5min time. | | | | Pete |

Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Dokumentar My Thoughts: So this was a movie i've had in my unwatched pile for a long time. A movie that i have wanted to see for a long time aswell. And a lot of people have recommaned this one to me, since i love war movies, specially the Vietnam war. So now i finally got around to watch it. And i will just start to say that its a bit different than the "usual" war movie. But its a good war movie. Its start of strong, and it keeps it high pace trough out the movie. A movie with a strong story, and you get to see the POV from some of the privates. And for me, this was a very interesting movie, with how they did it. Its a good and strong war movie, not as good as Platoon but a war movie that i would recommand you guys to watch. This is a movie that i would like to watch again at some point. And if you guys know any other good Vietnam war movies, please let me know! My Rating: 5/6 |

Extras:Scenevalg Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Dokumentar Interviews 2 Booklets, Comic, 6 Art Cards, Certificate, Poster My Thoughts: Ok, first of i just have to say thank you to Sam! Great recommandation yet again. This movie was a movie i didnt know about, before i got it recommanded to me, after watching 'The Hunger Games' And i was looking forward to checking it out. The movie reminded a bit about 'The Hunger Games' but again, very different. I found the story in this movie quite interesting. And some of the scenes was just brutal and way more grapich than 'Hunger Games' This version or "original" or what i should call it, its for me by far much better than 'Hunger Games' A sick and twisted movie at times, but again a good story and it had me interested trough out the movie. A movie that i am going to watch again somtime! A movie that is simular to 'Hunger Games' but yet so different. For me, i have to recommand this movie highly to the people who enjoyed 'Hunger Games' or like a good horror movie i would say. My Rating: 5/6 |

Video: Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: Norwegian: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Descriptive: DTS: Subtitles: Engelsk, Fransk, Russisk, Spansk, Norsk Stars:Pål Sverre Valheim Hagen Anders Baasmo Christiansen Agnes Kittelsen Plot:The Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific ocean in a balsa wood raft in 1947, together with five men, to prove that South Americans already back in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the sea and settle on Polynesian islands. After financing the trips with loans and donations they set off on an epic 101 days long trip across 8000 kilometers, while the world was waiting for the result of the trip. The film tells about the origin of the idea, the preparations and the events on the trip. Kon-Tiki was named after the Inca sun god, Viracocha, and "Kon-Tiki" is an old name for this god. Heyerdahl filmed the expedition, which later became the Acaemy award winning documentary in 1951, and wrote a book about the expedition which was translated into 70 languages and sold more than 50 millions copies around the world. Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have settled Polynesia in pre-Columbian times... Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Dokumentar My Thoughts: Well, this is the movie about the expediton that Thor Heyerdahl & did, back in the days. I've seen the documentary that he made back then. And since i heard that they was going to make a movie about the expedition aswell, i knew that was a movie that i had to watch when it came out. And now it finally came, and me and family actually watched it together. And what they did with the movie, i actually liked real good. They didnt mess up much really (something ofcourse) but not much from the original documentary. Wich was nice to see. But in some places they did some different storytelling, than actually what happend. Wich is a big no no for me (even though this is a movie) And for me, i always like a movie that is based on a true story.. And some of the actors in the movie, i was looking forward to see in action, since i havent seen much from them. And i think they did a good job with this. A good movie about the journey they've been trough together. Many important and key moments aswell in the movie, that they had in it. (a solid plus) And the picture and quailty sound was great aswell. For me, this a highly recommanded movie to check out! I really enjoyed it from start to finish! My Rating: 5/6 |

Video: Widescreen 2.35:1 Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1 Subtitles: Dansk, Finsk, Norsk, Svensk Stars:Plot:Master Thief Will Montgomery (Nicolas Cage) is released after haveing been imprisoned for 10 years for a spectacular burglary with a robbery dividends of $ 10 million. He seeks out his teenage daughter who he has not seen in years, but when a presumed dead accomplice kidnaps daughter and require the same amount as robbery proceeds in ransom, Will put in an impossible position. He has only 12 hours on them and are constantly monitored by the police. It will be a thrilling race against time in a violent non-stop action pace. Extras:Scenevalg Dokumentar My Thoughts: So inbetween all the Christmas stuff and the tv-shows i've been watching lately, i finally got around to watch a movie! (About on time!) And this one was a blind buy (again) actually. I only saw Mr.Cage and Malin Åkerman on the cover, and it kinda looked interesting too. So the movie starts out ok, with some cool scenes. And with an interesting story, and goes on for about 20 minutes. But then, its like they just hit a switch on the movie. The story stands complety still, nothing is happening really. The movie gets boring, the story\plot is in the same place in the whole movie just about. And i have to say that i hoped i would get to see some of the "oldschool" Nic Cage again. But man, IMO did he dissapoint in this movie. Just didnt look like he was IN it like he was in his old days. This was a movie that had great potential IMO, but they blew it big time. With just about everything. I guess maby i expected too much of it or them! For me, i wont recommand this one for anyone. Sorry My Rating: 1.5/6 |

Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: Swedish Subtitles: English, Norwegian, Swdish, Danish Stars:Malin Crépin Plot: A journalist is murdered in the frozen white landscape of a northern Swedish town. Annika Bengtzon, a reporter at a Stockholm-based tabloid, was planning to interview him about a long-ago attack against an isolated air base nearby, and now she suspects that his death is linked to that attack. Against the explicit orders of her boss, she begins to investigate the event, which is soon followed by a series of shocking murders. Annika knows the murders are connected. At the same time, she begins to suspect that her husband is hiding something, and nothing can counteract the loneliness that has crept into her life. Behind everything lurks the figure of the Red Wolf, a cold-blooded killer with the soul of a lover. In the end, she must discover the truth not only about the murders but also about the lies that are destroying her own family. Extras:Trailer(s) My Thoughts: So, i am at the 4th movie of this Swedish crimeseries from Liza's Marklunds books. And i have to say that for each movie, i like this series more and more. More action and more suspence for every movie. So, this one had a good and very interesting plot to it. It had me guessing trough out the movie, i had some thoughts on who did what. But i was fooled. Wich is a nice thing. I really like what they have done with this series so far, with both the main character and the story of the saga in the whole thing. Everything to the small details from each movie, and the development from the character. And the acting is better aswell. This is a real good Swedish crime\drama series that i have enjoyed so far. And in every movie, that make somekind twist. "didnt see that coming" So it wont be just the same for 6 movies. A movie series that i recommand you people to check out! Personally i cant wait to check out both movie 5 and the last one in the pack, movie 6! Really like where all of this is heading! My Rating: 5/6 |

Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: Swedish Subtitles: English, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish Stars:Malin Crépin Plot:David Lindholm is Sweden's most famous detective. When he is found murdered in his bed harbors matter at all newspaper front pages. Suspicion falls on his young wife Julia who is accused of murdering her husband and their missing, four year old son Alexander. She feels guilty, she can look forward to life imprisonment. Kvällspressens crime reporter Annika Bengtzon is even in the middle of a painful divorce, but when she seeks refuge in the murder case and the hunt for Alexander, she discovers that David Lindholm hid a dark past. Liza Marklund has for years been the Nordic crime uncrowned queen and her world famous bestselling series about Annika Bengtzon has now been raging for six voltage films. Lifetime is the fifth film in the series. Extras:Trailer(s) My Thoughts: So, why not just keep on going with this filmseries? 5/6 movies done! And this one started of real good, and 'one of their own' is targeted. And a police man is killed. And this police that is killed looked like a saint (?) is that the correct word? And people at the force is ofc very sad about that. But as Anikka and the media people starts to dig in his past etc, stuff happens. And is the officer who people belived he was? Well, let me just say this. It was one hell of a ride to find out, what was really the story about this one. And Anikka the (the journlist) should becareful in what she does, and how she does it. She is willing to do WHATEVER it takes, to get a good story out, but did she cross the line this time? Does she know what people she's messing with? This 5th movie is a great movie, with a great story that had me in my seat. A movie filled with a good mix between both suspence and action. And i liked what they did with the twists and turns in this one aswell! A great movie that i ofcourse recommand you guys to watch! Cant wait to check out the last movie in the series! Wonder what they have in store for us, in that way! Hopefully i'll be able to watch it today or tomorrow! My Rating: 5/6 |

Annika's search for the missing 16-year-old girl for her, finally away from Europe and down to Africa. Extras:Trailer(s) My Thoughts: So, i finally got trough them all. 1-6! And what a great series it was. But more on that later. For this movie, (being the last one in the series) i had a bit higher expactions on this one, then the other ones. It starts of a bit shaky, with nothing much happening really, but get fairly quick back at the action. A bit different story this time, then what i've been used to in the other movies. But thats a good thing IMO. This a case where the journalist needs to go out of town and out of the country, wich was interesting enough. And while on the case, alot of good stuff happens. And ofc with a few tiwsts and turns. With something i didnt see coming, and something i did see coming unfortunatly. But other than that, they did a good job with this story IMO, had me in interested trough out the movie. And enough stuff happening that i think the movie was a good finish for the series. A filmseries that i'm happy that i checked out. And a movieseries that i would highly recommand you guys to watch, if you like a good mix of suspence and crime! Well worth it IMO, My Rating: 5/6 For the filmseries in total (movies 1-6) i would have to give it a solid 5/6 |

Brittany and I just re-watched The Amazing Spider-Man again tonight... this time on her new HDTV. We loved the movie just as much... and was amazed at how good it looked on the new TV!  | | | | Pete |

McLaughlin (Story By), Scott Lobdell (Story By), Robert Ramsey (Screenwriter), Matthew Stone (Screenwriter), John J. McLaughlin (Screenwriter) Rating: Rated PG-13 : Violence, Sexual Content, Crude Humor and a Drug Reference Length: 100 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40:1, Pan & Scan 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Subtitles: English, French Stars:Tommy Lee Jones as Roland Sharp Cedric the Entertainer as Percy Stevens Christina Milian as Anne Paula Garces as Teresa Monica Keena as Evie Vanessa Ferlito as Heather Plot:When five perky cheerleaders witness the murder of a drug bust informant, they require 'round-the-clock surveillance to keep from being the next victims. Enter tough-as-nails Texas Ranger Lt. Roland Sharp (Tommy Lee Jones), who masquerades as their assistant coach and camps out in their campus digs. But these feisty foxes just want to have fun, and the buttoned-down Sharp learns it's no easy task to keep the uncontrollable coeds in line and out of harm's way. Cedric the Entertainer joins this spirited cast in a comedy that busts out with high energy, pride, and the joy of a Texas Ranger getting in touch with his feminine side. Extras:Scene Access Bonus Trailers Featurettes Closed Captioned My Thoughts: I have been a fan of Tommy Lee Jones for a while now. I have enjoyed everything I have seen him in so far. Whether it is his serious roles or the comedies he has been in. This film was recommended to me years ago by a friend... and finally got it as a gift this past month as a yuletide gift. I found this one to be a fun comedy... though not one of his best. It is fun seeing him deal with the college girls... and the story keeps my interest from the beginning to the end. But I do think it could have been a little better. Over-all it is worth the time put in to watch it. I am glad it is finally in my collection. My Rating:

After George (Rudd) loses his high-stress Manhattan job, he and his wife, Linda (Aniston), hit the road and wind up crashing at Elysium, a free-spirited community of hippies, tree-huggers and the occasional nudist. Featuring an all-star ensemble cast including Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman and Alan Alda, Wanderlust has "more laughs than I've had at the movies in a very long time." (Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer) Extras:Scene Access Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Deleted Scenes Featurettes Outtakes/Bloopers My Thoughts: I mostly wanted to see this one for the fact that Jennifer Aniston is in it. As I been a fan of hers since first seeing Friends. I have been curios about this film since the first time I saw the trailer. While I found this one to be some fun entertainment... it wasn't as good as I was hoping. I mean it wasn't bad... just nothing special. I basically found it to be an average comedy... worth the time put in to watch it. My Rating:
