She goes to the doctor find out if the insemination has been successful or not and discovers that she is pregnant. Now she has to tell Stan but how?

This is a cute movie, something you could watch with your girl-/boyfriend. But it´s very alike other romanic comedys, that´s why it onlt gets a 3/5.

Date Night (2010)

It´s about the Fosters, a married couple who wants to spice up thier marrige a little by going on a date to the newest restaurant in NY. There´s only one problem, they don´t have a reservation so they steal one and having a blast till two big guys comes up to thier table and takes them outside. While outside the two guys threaten the Fosters and ask for a memory stick. The Fosters, who have no idea what they are talking about run away from the guys and goes to the police, just to learn that the two bad guys are policemen. They panic but decide to find this memory stick the policmen were talking about and finish it!

I usally don´t like Steve Carell but he was okey in this movie, funny and not too extrem. But sence I have seen movies like this one many times before, therefor I´ll only give this movie a 3/5.

What´s up with all horror films?!

Is it only me or are the horror films getting worse? Movies they say are horror films usally aren´t, for example The Eye (2008) or Long Weekend (2008). Both of these "horror" movies are big jokes! I just for ones wanna see a horror movie that makes me hide behind a pillow!
Anyone have any tip on a movie like that?

 

Wolfman (2010)

Lawrence Talbot returns home from American to help in the search of his missing brother, just to learn that his mauled body has already been found. Lawrence sets out to find his brother´s killer and discovers something terrible. Someone or something, with incredible strength and insatiable blood lust, has been killing the villagers. A suspicious Scotland Yard inspector comes to the village and finds out the horrible truth.

This most be the worst movie shown in cinemas this year! It´s badly made, from the script to the filming! The special effects from the 80s Star Wars movies are better than the special effects here! It´s just prue shit!
Grade: 0/5

Inception (2010)

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) can enter people´s dreams, so corporations hire him to steal business secrets from rivals subconscious. Saito, who´s one of those men, wants Cobb to do the opposite: not to take information but plant an idea in a rival´s mind. In return Saito will fix problems with the US goverment so Cobb finaly can return to his children. Cobb takes the almost impossible job, planning three layers of dreams within dreams for the mark. The misson requires his team takning a powerful sedative and if something goes wrong in the dreams, the dreamers may not awake.

This movie have been given great grades and because of that my expertations were very high, though I didn´t know what to expect. I had seen the trailer but it didn´t make any sence to me but it surely caught my interest, I had to see it! Glad I did!
The special effects were sensational, it´s a fantastic story and I adore Christopher Nolan (director/writer), he has done a wonderful job with this movie. Someone wrote that he is the new Hitchcock and I think that just might be true. One thing is for certain, we´ll see much more of him in the future!

I give this movie a 5/5 without a doubt!

Christopher Nolan

Vampires suck...or do they?

Last week I heard that a parody movie, know as Vampires Suck, of the Twilight Saga is comming out soon and I had to check it out. I have read the books and I have seen the movies and to be honest I´m not such a big fan anymore. I think the whole thing is overrated and I can´t wait till all the movies are done so it´s over with.  So when I heard of Vampires Suck I became excited because I love that they´re gonna make fun of Twilight but I hope they have done it well. I don´t usally like this kind of movies, it´s not my type of humor. But I do like the Scary Movies though so I hope this one is going to be more like those instead of Meet the Spartans or Epic Movie for example.

Well I´ll find out soon if it´s worth seeing or not...

A-Team (2010)

A-Team, a militarly groupe, gets sent to prison under the charges of not following direct orders and losing the 100$ bills printing plates, which they stole back from the Iraqis. After 6 months in prison Hannibal Smith (Liam Nesson) escapes with help from Mr.Lynch, from the CIA, just so he and his team can steel back the plates again and give them to Mr.Lynch and so clear their names. But all isn´t as it seems to be and A-Team discovers that the mission they first thought were going to be easy has become much harder.

A-Team is one of the best action movies I have seen! I think that everyone should see this movie! I love the skript, the actors and I´m really impressed with the director Joe Carnahan, who had only directed four movies before this one. Good work! I´m also impressed with Liam Nesson. Despite his age he´s running/jumping around and does a hell of a job! I hope he´ll keep working for a long time in the future!
And the hat off to Sharlto Copley (Captain H.M. Murdock) too for doing his second great movie!

I would be stupied if I gave this movie any other grade than a 5/5!

Hope you´re not too disappointed!

The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

The Phantom of the Opera is a sad story about a man in hiding from the cruel world because of his deformed face. He lives in the sewers under the Opera Populaire, but know everything that is going on in the opera. On day, while rehearing the star of the play Carlotta almost gets killed, by the Phantoms hand, and leaves the opera in fury.

It´s a lovely but sad story, with beautiful costumes and songs. I haven´t seen the real musical but I would love to some day, I wouldn´t be suprized if it´s better than the movie. But I have to say I was very suprized when I got to know that Gerard Butler never took a singing class before doing the movie, impressive!

Gladiator (2000)

Gladiator is about the powerful general Maximus, who is loved by the people and the Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Just before the Emperors death he chooses Maximus as his heir over his own son, Commodus.

Maximus´ family dies and Maximus gets captured and thrown in to the Gladiator games until his death. The only thing he keeps fighting for is the thought of meeting Commodus again and get his revenge.

This is one of my favorite movies, not only because Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott are a part of the production team, but also because it´s a beautiful story and it´s very well made! There isn´t much I can say about this movie except, if you haven´t seen it then you should!
Grade: 5/5

Surf´s Up (2007)

In Surf´s Up we get to follow a film crew who´s working on a documentary about the famous surfer Big Z, who been died a few years. And to get so mush facts as possible they turn to Big Z´s biggest fan Cody Maverick. Cody is a surfer too and dreams about winning the Big Z Memorial Surf Off cup and become as good as Big Z ones was. He leaves his home Shiverpool and enters the cup, on Pen Gu Island, to compete against all the best surfers like the ninth cup winner Tank Evens.
Everything is well when Cody arrives to the island but soon he gets in to a fight with Tank and they decide to solve it with a surf off. Cody loses badly because he don´t know how to surf on the big waves and if he don´t find someone willing to train a loser his dream will be lost.

I really like this movie because it´s different from other animated movies: The people behind the camera talks with the characters in the movie and the characters reacts on the film crews presence and looks and waves at the camera, sometime you see the film crews equipment and the camera shakes when they run and so on. It´s a totally new way of making a children’s movie and I like it!
This movie is cute, funny and different. I think that you definitely should see this one!

Grade: 5/5

The Strangers (2008)

The Strangers, which is inspired by real events, is about Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) and James Hoyt (Scott Speedman) who´s going to spend thier summer vacation at the country house which is far from the civilization. The same night they arrive there are someone knocking on thier door. When anwsering it three strangers, hidden behind masks, breaks in to the house and the couple have to fight with all thier might to surive.

I usually don´t find thriller or horror movies exciting because I´m very good at knowing what´s next to come but this film were different. The only reason I can think of why it caught my intrerst is because, as I mentioned before, it´s based on real events which made it so mush more interesting.
I like knowing how people think and why they act in a specific way. And I just couldn´t find the reason to why those three weirdos would do something like that too two innocent people.

As for the actors... I was impressed with Liv Tyler. I only knew her from the Lord of the Rings movies and from a few drama/comedy movies as well but I had never seen her in a thriller/horror movie. And I thought she did a very good job!
I can´t say much about Scott Speedman becasue I´ve only seen him in Underworld but what I can say is that I thought that he too did a good job.

Should you see it? Yes I think you should. The movie shows you how sick people really can be.

Grade: 4 of 5
