My Review:
This movie was real hyped up in the media over here. Based on the story, the performance by the leads. And for the movie itself, it was a real strong and powerfull movie to watch. Real painful to watch at times. Sad story about some twisted and messed up characters. And the character of Marie Bonnevie is just a disturbed broken woman. And i actually feel real sorry for her. She plays the character to almost a perfect. It was a strong movie with a strong statment. But hard to watch at times. But the cast did an amazing job here IMHO. Its recommanded to check it out for you Scandinavias out there.

My Review:
So having enjoyed the first 3 Ice Age movies this was a no brainer. But wanted to wait for the 3D blu price to get a bit lower. And now i finally got around to watch it. And the movie had (as always) a cute and fun story. Alot of funny moments trough out the movie. Alot of new charcters! Can i just say that i love Sid's Grandma?! Funny old lady! And Sid too ofc. The movie was both fun, cute and warm. With some real funny lines trough out the movie. So for the movie it was just plain fun. But for the 3D efects. I was a bit disapointed i must say. There was some allright spots here and there. But for a movie like this, they should have done a bit more IMHO. But all in all, if you enjoy the Ice Age movies. This is a must see IMHO!

My Review:
Ah, that was just amazing. I really enjoyed the two first one aswell. But was really looking forward to check this out, and to see how it would be in 3D. The story was fun and light hearted. Great and real funny lines and moments trough out. The picture quality was amazing aswell as the sound. And the way things ended i'm curious to see if there will be a Madagascar 4. And for the 3D efects in this one. Wow! This just might easy by the best 3D movie i've ever seen! Just amazing, all the small details. The spots, the depts, the popups etc. Perfect! This is by far the best Madagascar movie so far! Its real high up on my list of animated movies. For me, i cant recommand this highly enough! This is just a must have.

My Review:
I wanted to check out this movie because of Eric Cantona really. Since he was my hero growing up. (Playing for manutd) and was interested to see how he did on the bigscreen. And i think he did a decent job actually. The movie started of a bit slow, but after 10-20minutes in stuff started to happen. And after that the movie put us trough a intense ride. With some cool bumps and some grapich scenes. And a cool twist aswell. I like what they did with the plot in this one. They made it both suspenceful and actionpacked at once. And an allright performance by the cast. A French movie that. This a good movie that i recommand you to check out.

My Review:
Again a wrestling dvd\blu i've seen some here and some there. This DX set is supposed to be their last stand. And i belive it is. And they deliver many unforgettable moments that will live on forever. And they always deliver some great comedy, and always solid matches. I've always been fan of DX as the group. Both the original group, and only HHH\HBK aswell. Maby one of the best 'groups' in WWE IMHO. And this biopic again delivered. Great moments. Real great matches. Some great extras on the blu aswell. IMHO this is a must have for any WWE fans out there!

My Review:
Well, i remember i bought this cheap on a sale long time ago because the story looked like it could be good. And the trailer was decent. But man, did i think wrong? The story wasnt that original\interesting. The 'scare' moments wasnt there. And the story about the ghosts? Well, come on! A movie with a too slow pace. Nothing much happening. Only a few good moments here and there save this movie from a 1 rating. All in all.. A movie that you shouldnt get IMHO.

Stars:

Plot:
Whether acting or directing, Academy Award® -winner Clint Eastwood* (Gran Torino) always manages to make it gritty and keep it real. And it doesn't get more real than this fact-driven thriller starring Eastwood as Frank Morris, the cunning bank robber who masterminded the only successfull escape from Alcatraz's infamous maximum security prison. In 29 years, the seemingly impenetrable federal penitentiary, which housed Al Capone and "Birdman" Robert Stroud, was only broken once - by three men who were never heard from again. Filmed on location at Alcatraz and directed by Clint's frequent collaborator Don Siegel (Dirty Harry), this tough, taut reenactment of the true story has all the intense character study and sheer power that mark Eastwood's finest work.

*Best Director & Best Picture, Unforgiven, 1992;
Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, 1994;
Best Director & Best Picture, Million Dollar Baby, 2004.

My Review:
This is a fascinating movie. Its fascinating to see how desperate people get when they are in bad situastions. And to see what these three people are willing to do to escape this hellhole. And they do it in a spectacular way. Everyone have heard about Alcatraz and how "no one" has ever escaped etc. And i dont know how much of this movie is true (if anything is true) But you are left wondering, 'what happend to those three?' This is a allright way to waste a couple of hours IMO. This is recommanded.

Again a movieseries i've enjoyed quite a bit, but longtime since i've watched. I really like the story\plot in the movies. Mixed with action and some humor. A lot of great moments. Some good lines. And a few "mafia\gangster" trough out. Alot of big names working together. Pitt\Clooney in the leads does a great job. And i like how they have pulled it off. Again 2 hours of great 'fun' . This is a movie that i highly recommand you guys to check out.

[GSyren]

I actually liked the 1960 original Ocean's Eleven better. This one was ok, too, though. But I felt I had seen everything before. The original was more, well, original.

[DSig]

Well, to be truthful, I think I like the newer one overall .. better.  But the Original is such a great period piece it has to stay at the top of any list.

The Rat Pack were a lot of fun and it looks like the group in the new "Ocean's Eleven" is similar.  I enjoy the humor a little more in the new one too.  But Frank, Dean and Sammy ... can't go too wrong there.

[Dragonfire]

I just watched my Ocean movies again...and I saw most of the original on tv for the first time recently.  It was ok..but I didn't like how something worked out in it.  Though I suppose that would be more realistic.

[Piffi]

A little late to the party here, because RL knocked :\ But i havent seen any of the original oceans movies. But i really enjoy(ed) the George Clooney Oceans.
But i've always been a fan of Mr.Clooneys work too tho.

My Review:
Again a great Jason Bourne movie. They step it up a notch (IMHO) in this one. Again a great story, great acting by Matt as 'Bourne' a few new characters is welcomed. I have to say that i like the 'Pam' character. Good match for Bourne to play against. And ofc again high paced movie, something happening in every corner. And its refreshing to see how they make Bourne always be one step ahead of CIA & co. All in all, i have to say that the Jason Bourne series is just great fun. Great movies so far. Great story, stuff happening all the time. And its a bit out of the ordinary. Looking forward to checking out the 3rd again soon. -Bourne- is ofcourse highly recommanded!

My Review:
So going in to this one, i didnt know what to expect. Would it be a remake of 'The Wizard Of Oz' ? And i would say no really. Some parts reminded me of 'Wizard' but not all. But the movie had a great story. Amazing picture and sound. And the special efects? Wow! Its just amazing. Pure quality from start to finish. For me this movie is highly recommanded!
