Plot:
Stanley Kubrick's daring last film is a bracing psychosexual journey, a riveting suspense tale and a career milestone for stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Cruise plays a doctor who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage - and may ensnare him in a murder mystery - after his wife's (Kidman) admission of sexual longings. As the story sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and reconciliation, Kubrick orchestrates it with masterful flourishes. Graceful tracking shots, rich colors, startling images: bravura traits that make Kubrick a filmmaker for the ages are here to keep everyone's eyes wide open.

My Review:
So, that was interesting. And a bit different than i thought it would be. Its a movie that i've heard a bit about. Both negative and positive, but never seen it before. The movie had my attention trough out the whole movie. A good and strong story to it aswell. And alot of naked Nicole Kidman aswell. A movie that had some good and important moments. And a strong performance by both Tom and Nicole (and i am not  a fan of Mr.Cruise) Its a very good movie, with a bit of running time. But a movie that i would highly recommand if you are not easly offend. A movie i would watch again on a later time. Of all i've seen Nicole Kidman in, this is one of my favourite parts of her. Really strong! And i just have to say something about the music in the movie too. I really like how they pulled it off. Good and strong movie!

I'm glad you enjoyed it.    I loved it when I saw it.  The story did take a turn I didn't expect that was very entertaining. 
I'm still dazzled by the look of Sully's hair when I watch the movie..and it looks even better on Blu. 

I definitely want to see Monster University once it is out.  And I will brave opening day to see it.  The things I do for Pixar movies.   

Hehe, nice You will watch the 3D version then yes?
I too will defently check out the number 2, but since i dont go to the theaters here anymore.. I have to wait till it comes on blu :\
And will not go to the theaters before they upgrade their system!! (You hear that, my city?!)

I may see the 3D..I'll have to see what times the shows start.  I have seen the other Pixar movies in 3D...except for the older ones that they relreleased.  I would have liked to see Monsters Inc again in the theater, but work kept me from having the time.

Plot:
In one of his signature roles, Clint Eastwood plays a streetwise San Francisco police detective who gets the job done. A rooftop sniper (Andy Robinson) calling himself Scorpio has killed twice. Now he's buried a young women alive and threatens to let her suffocate unless the city pays ransom. Harry Callahan will nail the perp...one way or the other...no matter what "the system" prescribes. Filming on location, director Don Siegel made the City by the Bay a vital part of Dirty Harry, a practice continued in its four sequels. The original remains one of the best police thrillers ever made.

My Review:
So, i've been a huge fan of Mr.Eastwood's work both behind and in front of the camera since i started to be interested in movies. And lets just face it, he is a legend and a icon in the movie business. Not many out there (IMO) that can compare themself to him. And he has made a lot of great movies. (Gran Torino, Western movies.) But i have actually never seen any of his Dirty Harry work. And i have heard alot about it ofc, but i didnt want to expect anything really. Just wanted to enjoy the ride. And what a ride it was! Really liked the story in this one, both actionpacked and very suspencefull at the same time. With a very good Clint Eastwood in the lead as 'Dirty Harry' I really love what they did with the story, and not just "pang pang, he's dead" Good moments trough out the movie, and i really liked some of the lines he had aswell! "You feeling lucky, punk?" And i loved the ways and turns he did, to catch a badguy.  For me,  this up there, with some of his best work to date. This is ofc highly recommanded, for those who havent checked them out yet! (But i guess most of you have) Just an amazing movie, and i'm looking forward to the 2nd.

I just checked out the trailer for 'Dog Soldiers'

But for a cheap penny, its interesting indeed.

I would really think yo would like it. It's fast paced, with cool dialog and lots of werewolf action.

My Review:
So, this one i used a bit of time to finish. Watched this inbetween everything else. A match here, and a match there. And what a dvd\blu set this is really. Some amazing matches. Its supposed to be the best ppv matches of 2011, but this has some of the greatest matches i've seen. Each match in this one, just got some extra and special. A set i ofc will be watching again and again. And for you guys that own the blu-ray set, the small interviews was also great. A "movie" or documentary that for me is very highly recommanded to watch, if you are a wwe fan.  Ehm, its a must have really!
My review of 'Jackie Brown' will be up tomorrow aswell!

Are you a fan of MMA or just wrestling? I sort of watch UFC when I can remember, and have several of the UFC discs to watch but I just can't get into wrestling at all. Just not my thing.

[Piffi]

I am a big fan of both MMA and WWE\TNA.
Not only UFC tho, TUF etc too. But its more difficult to find good MMA collectebles on blu\dvd.
But they air some MMA on tv here aswell.

My Review:
Well, this was an interesting movie. A movie that wasnt quite what i expected it to be. But an enjoyble action movie, with a good and interesting story. With a good cast, that worked well together IMO. And with a few good lines, and had some really good moments too. But not quite the movie i thought Tarantino would make. And i just have to say one thing about Robert De Niro's character in this one. He's looks reminds alot about his look from 'Cape Fear' very much alike. But there was a few things i didnt like that much tho, the movie was a bit slow at times for me. And the movie was a bit too long IMO, they could make just as good as a movie in about 2hours running time. But despite that. A good movie, that i recommand you to check out.  











My Rating:
4.5/6

[samuelrichardscott]

[Piffi]

My Review:
Well, this was difficult one to rate for me actually. After reading a few reviews, i didnt have my expactions up high for this one. I did enjoy the first one tho. So i was just looking forward to this one, to see how they did it all. The movie was a good action movie, with a good mix of suspence in it. But to look at this as a follow up, there was a few things i didnt like at all. The story was good tho, i enjoyed that one. And the action scenes was also good. But they went a little too Jason Bourne wannabe in this one. Didnt quite fit all the time with rest of the story. And some of the scenes seemed rushed, and out of place. Keeping all that in mind. Still a good enjoyble actionflick. A movie that you have to see if you enjoyd the first 'Taken' Even though it had its flaws, i would watch it again.

My Review:
I had kinda high hopes for this one, after watching the trailer and when i saw the cast in the movie. The movie with a great story btw, started of great. And it was happening alot of stuff, and the movie was allright. But then, at the 30minute mark, something happend. The movie was real slow, nothing much really happend, it moved along a bit too slow. And after 35minutes, you kinda know how the movie will end. A movie with a great cast, a great story. But thats about it. It was a cool movie about to the 30 minute mark. And then something just happens. This was a movie i had high expactions for, but a movie that dissapointed me really. This is a movie i cant recommand you to watch actually.
