My Review:
So far, this is a hoot. Really enjoyed the first one. And i watched this today. Havent watched the movies in ages. The story is typical cop vs the criminals. But Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is amazing together. They make it work with the funny moments. "The crazy cop" Mel Gibson is amazing so far. And ofc we get some shooting and great action scenes here and there. Looking forward to check out the next ones. So far this blu-ray set is amazing. The upgrade is recommanded so far.

But when a new rash of gem thefts occurs amongst the luxury hotels of the spectacular French playground, it appears that "The Cat" is on the prowl once again. Is Robie truly reformed? Or is he deviously using Frances to gain access to the tempting collection of fabulous jewelry belonging to her mother (Jessie Royce Landis)? Romantic sparks fly as the suspense builds in this glittering Hitchcock classic that nabbed an Oscar® for Best Cinematography.*

My Review:
Yep, he did it again. I dont think i've seen a bad movie from Hitchcock yet. If there is a bad movie from him, please let me know. Great suspensful movie again from Alfred Hitchcock. Great story, great scenery. Great acting from both Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. I do really love those old movie classics like this. Old cars, old houses. Something beautiful about it if you ask me. Ofc highly recommanded.

My Review:
Another great movie from Mel & Danny. The action is intense and the comedy is great too. We got some great one liners between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. And Joe Pesci is back for his second time. He got some great moments too. Just a fun action flick. And Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is amazing together. Looking forward to check out the last one.

My Review:
The last movie in the series. We see a bit older Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. The movie got the same great one liners, and you also got the action. But this time around Mel Gibson (Riggs) is going to be a dad. And Danny is going to be a grandfather. For me that didnt fit to the story. They tried to make the best out of what they got, and they did a good job but not as good as the 3 first movies. Still a ok ending to the franchise tho. Great franchise all in all. I would recommand you guys to check out the upgrade to HD. And this bluray set got a ton of great extras! Wich is almost worth the money alone












My Rating:







All in all for the whole franchise.

My Review:
I was in the mood for some adventure. And it is a long time since i've watched the Pirates movies, so i decided to check it out again. I mean, what is there to say? That havent been said allready? What a masterpiece this really is. The efects is obv great. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow? Legendary.  Just great movies. And we got some great extras aswell. Well worth the money












My Rating:

[Achim]

Just great movies. And we got some great extras aswell. Well worth the money

I am not sure I agree with the plural here, that it is "great movies", but I quite enjoyed the first one here and I think it should hold up well. In my opinion the sequels got progressively worse, although a) I haven't seen the 4^th one and b) I heard that the 4^th one may indeed be better than 2 and/or 3.

[Piffi]

Maby it is just me that got a weird taste in movies I know alot more people who agree with you Achim
But i really enjoyed them. The last movie was allright, but not as good as the first 2-3.

A fixer (Brad Pitt), a pickpocket (Matt Damon), a blackjack dealer (Bernie Mac), a flimflammer (Carl Reiner) and others in well-defined roles are with Danny. Are you in or out?

My Review:
I was in the mood for something with both Clooney (wich is my favorite actor) and Brad Pitt. So why not check out the 'Oceans' movies again? Was a long time since i saw them the last time. The movie is just great fun. We see a great Clooney (as always) as Danny Ocean. We follow Danny Ocean on his biggest heist yet. We get some great moments trough out. And the support cast is wonderfull aswell. Just great 2 hours.

Plot:
Danny Ocean and his pals return in a sequel to the cool caper that yielded a $160-million heist. But $160 million doesn't go very far. Not with everyone spending like sailors on leave. Not with Vegas big-shot Terry Benedict out to recover his dough. And not with a mysterious someone stalking Danny and crew. It's time to pull off another stunning plan – or plans. With locales like Amsterdam, Paris and Rome, direction by Steven Soderbergh and the original cast plus Catherine Zeta-Jones, Twelve is your lucky number.

My Review:
Another good movies in the series. Alot of big names ofcourse. And this time around they have steal back something they have taken. And ofc, things doesnt always happen as you plan them. We got some great moments with Clooney & Co. But there was something missing in this movie. Cant put my finger on what it is. But something. So it isnt as good as the first one, but still decent. And i still enjoyed it. Looking forward to check out the last aswell.

Plot:
George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and more reteam with director Steven Soderbergh for a third split-second caper that stacks the deck with wit, style and cool. Danny Ocean again runs the game. No one gets hurt, except double-crossing Vegas kingpin Willy Bank (Al Pacino). Ocean's crew will hit him where it hurts: in his wallet. On opening night of Bank's posh new casino The Bank, every card turn and dice roll will come up a winner for bettors. And they'll hit him in his pride, ensuring the hotel doesn't receive a coveted Five Diamond Award. That's just the start of the flimflams. Place your bets!

My Review:
Yep, the last one in the series. It was a nice way to end it i think. Another impossible "heist" if we can call the last movie for a heist. Anyways, we got some big names again. And it was nice to see Al Pacino again aswell. And i have to admit that i liked this movie a bit more then i liked the second movie. All in all, a great movieset. And a great franchise. A must have for Clooney fans IMHO.

A film about two homicide detectives' desperate hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution for the world's ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. The movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic "John Doe" sermonizes to Detectives Sommerset and Mills -- one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murderer's terrible capacity is graphically demonstrated in the dark and subdued tones characteristic of film noir. The seasoned and cultured but jaded Sommerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to understand the killer's modus operandi while the bright but green and impulsive Detective Mills scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer..

My Review:
I wanted to see this movie again for a while now. And now i finally got some time to check it out again. And wow, what a masterpiece it is. A killer that kills by the "Seven death sinds" and we meet two detectives who got 2 complete different ways to work. And man i just have to say that both a young Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman is just amazing in this movie. This might just be the best dark thriller i've ever watched. And it is ofc highly recommanded!

We have some cool gore scenes, alot of blood. And a Vinnie Jones as a crazy butcher. And i have to say that i actually liked Bradley Cooper in this one.

I was very surprised at the unexpected turns this film took towards the end; they were decent enough ideas not to ruin the film. The gore was somewhat expected based on my experience with Versus, the director's full-length feature film. I'd also recommend his Azumi.

To this day, I am still puzzled by the ending. No matter how often I see it, I just can't quite wrap my head around it.

(click to show/hide)

From what I gathered John Doe's sin is to be punished by death, so Brad Pitt's character would need to kill him for that to work. That murder would then be the last sin, committed by Brad Pitt's character...? How does he get punished? All others were killed so elaborately, but he now only gets killed in prison, "at best", provided he lives in a state where they have death penalty...? What am I doing wrong?

[Piffi]

Well, for 'Midnight Meattrain' first. I actually liked the ending. And with that ending it looked like they could be a sequal down the road. Wich i would like. But i guess that would never happen, since the movie is almost 6 years.

And for the spoilerthread about Seven.. To be honest. I kinda agree with you there. And i hoped maby you had the answer to that question?
