Easy A (2010)

High school, either one of the best years of your life or the worse. A new rumor starts to go around that the school has a new slut, Olive. At first Olive tries to tell everyone the rumor isn´t true but when no one listens to her she desides to go with it to advance her social and financial standing. But soon everything goes too far and she has to find a way to put back things as they once were.

This high school movie was different from the ones I have seen before which is a good thing! It is not as many other high school movies, where the unpopular guys want to get laid before graduation or the new girl in school as a crush on the most poplare guy but know it can never be...and so on blablabla... This felt like a more serious high school movie in a way but I also think it was a little flat. I can not really put my finger on what it was that made it flat but I felt like something was missing. So...I give it a 3/5!

Love and Other Drugs (2011)

Jamie Randall a charming, hansome and outgoing guy, with other words a true womanizer, gets a new job in Ohio, where he´s going in to the world of pharmaceutical sales. Accidently he meets Maggie Murdock and after a rocky start, they become good friends (with benefits). But as the relationship grows, they are taken by surprise, finding themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: LOVE!

This sounds like a ture chick movie, I know, but don´t get fooled. The movie is funny, as in a lot of sex jokes funny, but it has a lot of romance in it as well. It is a perfect first date movie! It has a perfect balance between not being to girly or to guyish, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Example, for the guy: many hot chicks! For the girls: Jake Gyllenhaal naked and the romance.

There is one thing that buged me a little bit though, which was that there was a moment were you saw the tape where the actors where supposed to stand. And I have to say, Edward Zwick, for being in the movie industry that long, it´s not okey... But I will give this movie a 4/5 anyway, because it was very good!

What a Incredible coincidence!

I watched The Incedibles the other day and I could not stop thinking about where I had seen one of the characters from the movie before. Edna Mode, she the superhero outfit designer in the movie and I have seen her "in real life". It took me a while (about three days) before I knew where from I have seen her. The character Edna Mode looks exactly like Linda Hunt!!! And know you´re thinking: "Maybe she was the voice of Edna? You thought about that?" Yes I have! That was the first thing I looked up and no, it is not her. The "actor" playing Edna is Brad Bird, yes he is a guy, who is also the director and writer of The Incredibles. HA!

I wonder if they thought about that when making the movie. Maybe, Linda Hunt was supposed to play Edna but turned down the offer in the last minute and the creaters liked their Edna so much that they did not bother to change her appearance. Who knows?

After Life (2009)

After a terrible car accident, Anna wakes up in a morgue to find a man, Eliot Deacon, preparing her body for her own funeral. Anna, who is confused and scared and feeling very much alive, do not believe that she is dead. The funeral diractor Eliot explains to her that he as a gift to talk to the dead and that she passed away in the accident and is in the process of passing over to the world of the dead. Locked in the morgue and with no one else to turn to except for Eliot, Anna is forced to confront her deepest fears and accept her death. In the meanwhile Anna´s grieving boyfriend Paul, starts to suspect that Eliot is not who he claims to be. And as the date of Anna´s funeral approach, Paul comes closer to the shocking truth, but is it to late?

A different, confusing and thrilling movie. I really liked this one. I couldn´t predict anything which is very unusual for me. Though I have to say it was a little boring in the middle so you have to have patience when watching this movie. Liam Neeson and Justin Long were splendid and I am really impressed of the director Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo, whom I never heard of before this movie. Maybe not too surprising, she has, according to IMDB, only made one short movie before this one called Pâté. Now back to this movie, as I said I like it and I give it a 4/5! A great debut movie!

Let´s start again, shall we?
