Plot:
When the “Big Four”, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, shared a stage together on June 22nd 2010 in Sofia, Bulgaria, the show was beamed live into over 550 theatres worldwide via satellite in a special HD cinematic event. These four legendary acts broke out of the underground thrash movement in the 1980’s to dominate the metal world, selling millions of records and packing arenas across the globe. Despite huge demand, these musical giants had never shared the same stage. The legendary June 22nd 2010 concert from the tour’s stop of the Sonisphere Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria aired the same day in 79 movie theaters in the U.K, over 450 theaters in over 140 markets in the U.S., as well as being beamed into theaters in Europe, Canada, Latin America, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. In December 2009, the bands announced that they would be joining forces to take part in the traveling Sonisphere Festival for only 7 shows across Europe. This one-time only event from the Sofia show made it possible for fans far and wide to participate in what otherwise was a very limited run of dates. Lars Ulrich of Metallica says of this historic show, "Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal's Big Four would not only still be around, be more popular than ever, playing shows together at stadiums all over Europe, and on top of that, coming to a movie theater near you in High Definition (for better or worse??!!). Bring it on!" Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian says “Damn, as if this Big 4 tour wasn't exciting enough now we get to be on the big screen worldwide! Metal at the movies, two big horns up! It is unbelievably gratifying that this means so much to the metal community around the globe. Get your tix, grab some popcorn and get ready to bang your head!” Declares Slayer’s Kerry King, “I can’t believe someone didn’t make this happen 15 years ago! The fans finally get what they want. I think it’s awesome!” Says Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine, “The magnitude of this event hasn't really sunk in yet, and I am thrilled to know that people around the planet will be able to walk into a movie theatre and experience the greatest line up of Heavy Metal in the history of the world!”

My Review:
Well, as a huge fan of heavy metal, and music in general. This was a movie i knew i had to get, when i heard of it. And holy shiitake mushroom for a movie they have made here! Starts of real strong by Anthrax, and followed by Megadeath, Slayer and ofcourse Metallica finishes the show. And with all the Big 4 bands on the stage together. Wow, just amazing. Metallica is my favourite by all times, really love them. And i've seen some dvds with them before. But this is by far the best i've seen! And what a show they all make, just epic IMO. And the sound and picture quality is just amazing on this Blu-Ray set. They did a great job! It was a long concert, but man the time just fly's by. For me, i will defently watch this again and again! This for me is a must have for every metal fans out there! Couldnt recommand it higher!

My Review:
This was a movie that got alot of attention here in my country beacuse of alot of reasons. A movie that i really wanted to see, and now i finally got the chance. And i just have to say that ever since i first saw Keira Knightley in the 'Pirates' movies i was a fan. This is a movie based on a true story (wich is always a plus in my book) A interesting story indeed, but again a twisted story. A story that i didnt know much about. But i have to say that i really enjoyed this movie, and i really liked what Keira Knightley did with her part in this one. Well done. Its a very good and strong movie, with some real good acting IMO. A movie that i recommand you guys to check out! And its was interesting to see how Freud was thinking about his subjects. I think everyone did a good job with this one. Check it out

My Review:
Many of you wont prolly agree with me about this one. But actually enjoyed it! It was an documentary\behind the scenes from her world tour. From where it all started, and you get to see her on her first\biggest tour to date. A very interesting movie imo. Was nice to see where it all started and to learn something about the artist Katy Parry. This IMO is a good movie to watch for any music fan, specially the popmusic fans out there.

My Review:
So this was a movie\docu that i was looking real forward to watch. I remember when NWO and Hulk Hogan was the badguys in wrestling. And i actually found that quite interesting. And now they've finally made a documentary about the 'NWO' group. I remember i saw a short documentary about that a few years back. So i was interested to see what they had done with this one. And to be honest, even though it was a good movie\docuset, i was a bit dissapointed in what they had done this time around. Alot of old inteviews from the first docu they've made. Some interviews was as old as 2002! 10 years. So i those spots they could have done a better job IMO. And they could have done something new aswell, a few things in the story was the exact same as the old one. Not very original there. But the extras, the blu-ray specials was good. And there was a few good matches aswell!  And even tho' i expected maby a bit more of this one (after its hype) its still a good docu\movie. A must have\watch for any wrestling fans out there IMO!  But if you have seen the first movieset about NWO, dont expect too much different in this one. Execpt some of the matches, and blu-ray specs.

My Review:
So, i've watched the 3rd movie in this movieseries of 6 movies. And i have to say that for each movie i love it even more. Like what they do with the story, and how they continue to build the main charcters and bring back the same team each time. The story in this movie was interesting aswell. Had me guessing a few times, on who did what etc. I like the story so far with the 3 movies i've seen so far. A very good movieset that i really like so far. For me i highly recommand you guys to check out this movieset. And from the first movie and up till now, it seems like the story's and what happens and getting darker. Wich is interesting. And the actors\actresses is doing a allright job too.
Looking forward to check the rest of the movies out aswell! Anyone else watched them btw?

My Review:
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 Review:
So this is a movie i've heard alot about! (I havent read the books) And now me and some good friends finally got around to watch it. And i have to admit that i had really high expactions about this one. After only hearing great things about it! The movie started of a bit slow IMO. But sometimes picks up the pace again, and then again slows down. But it was a good balance trough out i think. A allright movie with a very interesting story aswell. And i liked what they did with the story too. The actors\actresses did an ok job too. Wich is always good! And i liked what the makeup and special efect team have done with it. And i just have to say on a personal note too, that i liked the picture and sound quality too! Well done! This is a movie i would recommand you to check out.
