Howard The Duck

Director: Willard Huyck,

Cast : Tim Robbins, Lea Thompson

Trailer here

There is going to be some changes on my updates from now on.
I am going to focusing on reminding people of the brilliant B-movie classics from now on and doing less of actual main stream critics, mainly because I suck at it and I am to lazy! But my fellow bloggers will continue doing their usual stuff.

I am starting these changes with the movie Howard the duck.

This movie belongs with all the best B movies out there! It is based on the infamous marvel caracter Howard, who happens to be a duck from another univers. This movie has it all, a great story line, special effects, cool music and the hot chick played by Lea Thompson. If I have to compare it to other movies than its as fun as the Goonies and He-Man (starring Dolph Lundgren).

Go see it and have fun!

Precious

Director: Lee Daniels
Writers : Geoffrey Fletcher
Screenplay: Sapphire (novel)
Cast: Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique, Lenny Kravitz, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey

Rating: 5

This is a dramatic movie about a teenage girl wo happens to be extremely overweight. On top of that her father sexually abuses her from age 3, and she now has two of his babies. Her mother becomes hostile towards her daughter because she thinks her husbands prefers her daughter instead of her. So poor Precious is not at a good place!

But this is not a totally feel bad movie, it has some interesting plots, and scenarios that is totally alien to me. I am rating this movie a bit low, mainly because I fell asleep 4 times during it, but could maintain the story line whatsoever.
My girlfriend enjoyed it more then I did and I assume that she would give it higher marks.

It was interesting to see Mariah Carey in this movie, I actually think that she was ok.

So, dont go to the movies for this one, wait until its on the telly and maybe watch it then if there is nothing else more interesing going on!

It´s Complicated

Genre: Comedy
Cast: Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, John Krasinski, Lake Bell

Rating : 8

Just finished watching this movie, a one of Uffe´s recommendations for a this years films to see (see previous post). This is a really good feel good movie, specially if you need to watch something with your girlfriend. We all know that we are forced once in a while to see something they want to see, which maybe is only fair when you have had your 24 hour marathon starting with the special long edition of the lord of the rings followed up with the 6 star wars movies.

But back to the movie, it was funny, good story line, and considering that this is a typical chick flick, I could easily last over it. So in my opinion you should check this one out, even worth the movie ticket for some of you.

Whatever Works

"I'm not a like-able guy. Charm has never been a priority with me.
And just so you know, this is not the feel good movie of the year. So if you're one of those idiots who needs to feel good, go get yourself a foot massage."

This about sums it up. Fantastic film by Woody allen with Larry David from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in the lead role as the "Grumpy knowitall"

There is alot of talking in the movie and no action what so ever so when you watch it be ready for some serius brain candy.

A must see for woody allen fans!

5/5

Flickan som lekte med elden

Better than the first one Män som hatar kvinnor.

This movie is faster and there is always something happening so you don´t wanna miss a second.

Noomi Rapace is as fantastic like she was in Män som hatar kvinnor.

Never a dull moment and a great plot.

This one gets 5/5

Rating : 9

I welcome this fresh new family episodes, a lot in the spirit of my all time favourite The Arrested Development. From the first episode I started to laugh out Loud (LOL for the computer nerds out there), that rarely happens because usually it takes at least one or two episodes to get to know the caracters and the humor involved. I am half way with the first serises and can't wait to see the rest. I just wanted to share this with you guys and hope that you find the time to check this one out.

P.s the scene where the gay couple introduce their newly adopted baby to the family is brilliant (in episode 1), the Lion king theme song, costumes and lights, cant go wrong!!!

Trailer

13 May 2009 (Denmark)

Rating: 2.7

Genre: Comedy

Director: Jody Hill

Cast: Seth Rogen, Anna Faris, Michael Peña, Ray Liotta

Do NOT let the trailer fool you into believing that this is actually a funny movie... It's not! There is a few laughs in it - but not worth spending neither the time or the money on.

Seth Rogen plays the main character Ronnie Barnhardt who is a security guard at a mall, and he sucks... I don't wanna blame it all on Seth Rogen, 'cause I don't think anyone would be able to make this character funny - but when Rogen sucks... He sucks big time.

Ronnie Barnhardt comes of as a bloated, depressing, dysfunctional man - who instead of being funny to watch - most of the time is just plain obnoxious.

The plot is so thin and meaningless, that I think, someone had the idea that showing a flasher runing around naked in a mall for around 60 sec. would be fun. And then everything else has been build around as an excuse to show this moment.

To sum it up... This was 1,5 hour of my life that I could have spent way better! Don't make the same mistake - steer clear from this movie!
