My Review:
Again a great actionflick. Interesting story to this "mess" its again high paced action in Jason's Bourne hunt to catch the guilty parts. Great performance by Matt Damon again as Jason Bourne. And i like how they "ended" it all. (I cant really say that anymore, since its a movie number 4 out) But the original Jason Bourne saga is one of the better action\suspence series out there IMHO. Perfect mix between action and suspence. And the transfer from DVD to Blu-Ray was real good aswell. Both the picture and sound quality was amazing. Amazing job by both the cast and the people behind the camera. All in all, Bourne is highly recommanded to check out. And a must own for actionfans out there. And the blu-ray set got some cool extras aswell.

My Review:
Well, what to say about this one? Its not the first time i've seen a "gangster" movie between 50 Cent and De Niro. The movie was ok enough i guess. Another movie about dirty cops. And it reminded me a bit of the parts from De Niro and 50 Cent, (when they was playing against each other in Rightous Kill) But i guess i expected more from Robert De Niro in this one. Didnt know what to expect from 50 Cent. It had its moments here and there. But it could have done so much more, atleast when you see the cast. I guess all in all, an ok action\gangster movie. Not a movie i would pay full buck for.

My Review:
Again a wrestling blu\dvd i've watched inbetween stuff, and when i got some time. Watched a match here and a match there. This is actually a good look behind the winners of the tournament. And its interesting to see where some of them was before and after winning. Some great matches. And with a interesting story. This is again highly recommanded for the wrestling fans out there.

My Review:
I dont remember if i've seen this one before. I remembered some of the movie, but not alot. But enough about that. On to the movie. I've just watched this with some good friends of mine. And the movie was real cool actually. Cool story, some cool toys. Real cool special efects. Alot of stuff happening trough out the movie aswell. The picture and sound was also amazing. All in all this was a good action\Sci-Fi movie that i recommand you guys to check out, if you havent allready. Hopefully i will get some time tomorrow maby to check out the second one. Will be interesting to see how they do things. And how 'The Rock' will fit in, in all of this.

My Review:
Well, this was a great follow up. The story was a great continuation from the first one. With some new interesting characters. And i just have to say something (being a wrestling fan) 'The Rock' has become a great actor. I liked him in this movie. Again, the story was great. A bit different, but great. A lot of cool special efects again. Real good moments between the cast trough out. Again great picture and sound. And Bruce Willis? I was a bit dissapointed in his part. But for the movie as a sequal and a action\Sci-Fi movie. It delivered IMHO! And it had a interesting ending. Makes me wonder if there will be a third. Or if this is the last one. If you watched\enjoyed the first G.I Joe movie this is a must have\watch! And they have some allright extras aswell.

Oppdag Walt Disneys klassiske mesterverk for første gang noensinne på Blu-ray, med et knivskarpt bilde og krystallklar lyd.
Landstrykeren er en hjemløs, men glad løshund som er vant til å klare seg selv. Lady er en søt, liten og bortskjemt cocker spaniel fra overklassen. Til tross for de ulike bakgrunnene oppstår det en romanse når de plutselig møtes, langt utenfor Ladys trygge villatilværelse.
Men veien til evig lykke er lang. Mistenksomme nabohunder, hundefangere og skinnhellige siamesiske katter gjør sitt beste for å legge hindringer i veien.

My Review:
Well, this is just a great movie. A warm and cute movie. But with some 'sad' moments here and there aswell. But with just a cute story. Its ages and ages since i've seen this one. And its the first time i've seen the blu-ray version. And i didnt remember much of it. But it was an ok transfer i think. And this is just a great movie, a movie for the whole family. Disney is doing an amazing job with their' Cartoons(?) is that the correct word? I dont want to say animated about this. Since its more handdrawn movie. And i really enjoyed this one. Highly recommanded to check it out!

My Review:
A little late to the party here. But i've had this one in my unwatched pile for ages. Dunno why really. I remember watching 'The A-Team' the tv-show back in the days. And i've always enjoyed the tv-show. And the movie was alot like the good ol' tv-show. Got a cool story. Got some great lines. Made me laugh out here and there. And even tho' the actors did an ok job, i would rather see the originals from the show, play the original characters. But a great action movie. And specially a must have for The A-Team fans out there IMHO. And as a bonus it some good extras aswell.

My Review:
Had this one aswell in my unwatched pile for ages. Again dunno why i've waited so long before watching it. But the movie was a great action\thriller. A good mix, alot of stuff happening trough out. Interesting story. Not a original story, but they made it with a twist. And that made it alot better for me. Two great performances by both Ben Affleck behind and infront the camera. And ofc by Jermey Renner. I think he did a great part in this. He's done some great stuff 'lately' and this movie is highly recommanded. You wont regret it.

My Review:
Well, after both Marie and Pete have been watching\review'n the Harry Potter movies, i decided to start watch them again. Been a real long time since i did that. And this movie is a great start to the whole series. (I havent read any of the books, so i cant compare it) But this movie is a great start to this great journey. With a very young Harry Potter, Ron, and Hermine. I almost forgot how young they were when they all started this. The acting wasnt the great (something you have to expect) But we get interduced to some great characters and a great story that will devolp trough out the great journey. Harry Potter is just a great filmseries that is for the whole family. Ofcourse highly recommanded!

Read the books.  They are so much better.

I have been thinking of watching my movies again since I finished the books.  I still might.  The last few days have just not been good.

Piffi .. if you get a chance to read the books you should .. they are a good read.  It might be good that you got to see the films first as sometimes it is hard to separate what you read from what you watch. 

For those of us (probably everyone on this forum) who love films and have a great ability to 'suspend disbelief' we can watch with an untainted eye :)  The mind is the best producer, director, actors etc there is.  I don't think anybody can create a film as great as that we create in our mind from a good read.
Thank you

You really should read them.  They are wonderful.  I'm not sure what you mean by easy read...  I read all of them this last time in about a week.  When I first read them, I read each book in less than 24 hours.

They are an easy fun read ..
...and if you start with the first one, don't give up. It starts particularly eay because the first two are clearly children's books. But she wrote them for a growing generation, so while the first ones are for kids, the latter ones are for (young) adults. But it's 7 books, prepare sufficient time...
