My Review:
Last time i watched this one was ages ago, but i really enjoyed it back then. So i decided to check it out again today. And it was still as good as i remembered it to be. Great spy thriller with Will Smith in the lead as a hunted laywer. So its USA against the rest. And they make it work. A very intense and suspenceful spy-trhiller with a great Will Smith in the lead. Highly recommanded. Specially the upgrade!












My Rating:

[GSyren]

Yeah, good flick. I gave it 4 stars, too, seven years ago. I might just rewatch it. Tony Scott was a good director. Maybe not quite as good as Ridley, but still very good. Too bad he's no longer with us.

[Piffi]

And IMHO you should check out the upgrade to HD if you dont have it on blu allready. I think they did a good job with the transfer there.
I got my copy cheap at GMJ(?) A store where they sell the stuff for a cheap penny.

My Review:
I was in the mood for a feelgood movie, so i decided to check out Bambi. Last time i saw Bambi was on DVD. And today i watched it in HD. And the transfer from DVD to Blu was just amazing. The picture and the sound. Awesome. And the story is ofc a feelgood story even tho stuff happens. All in all, Disney with their "classics" still got it. And Bambi is up there with the best (Lion King etc) the blu-ray is recommanded. And this wonderful bluray set comes with a ton of extras too.

My Review:
Ok, that was fun. Going in to this one, i've seen some trailers and liked what i saw. And the movie started of strong and never let go really. It was a very cool SciFi flick with some pretty cool toys IMHO! And the story was actually pretty cool too. And it was nice to see Tom Cruise in something different. And let me just say that Emily Blunt did pretty good in this one too. And she looked hot as always. Its recommanded. And the 3D was pretty good too. Not often it is in the "live" movies.

My Review:
Well, i was in the mood for some silly and stupid action before work yesterday. So i decided to check this out again, since i havent watched it since it came out in 2010. And it is a great action movie. Its a movie where you dont have to think much or pay close attention to whats going on. It is just alot of fighting, shooting, killings and ofc some explotions trough out. And that makes for some good entertainment for me. If you are in the mood for some silly action, this is it.

My Review:
Well, i have been wanted to see this one for a long time now. And i finally got around to checking out. And going in to this one i guess i had somewhat high expactations for it. But for me the movie delivered. I'm not sure if i will call this a spy thriller. But something in between i think. You get the 'spy' feel. A real intense and suspencefull thriller. They make you guess what will happen next, and who did what. I really enjoyed this one.

My Review:
Well, i had to rewatch the 2nd movie since i just watched the first one again. And once again the big names reunite, and this time they have even added a few more big names to the movie. And again there are some great scenes here and there. Its actually a good follow up to the first one. But still a silly actionflick (in a good way ofc) if you want to watch a movie without too much thinking or anything check it out.

I guess i'm a bit late to the party, but i just watched this after having it in my unwatched pile for ages. And Pixar is known to make some great animated movies! And they delivered once again. Cute story, with some great lines here and there. Its just a feelgood movie for the whole family. And the picture\sound is as always fantastic!

I was in the mood for a spy movie. And i've had this one in my unwatched pile for ever, so i decided to finally check it out. And it was a very different movie then i expected really. It had it moments here and there, but the movie was a slow and nothing much really happened for me. Its not the worst movie i've seen, but not the best either.

My Review:
Well, i've wanted to check out this Bond movie for a while. I dont remember if i've seen it before or not. Thats one of the reasons i wanted to see it. And i'm not saying Roger Moore is a bad James Bond, not at all. But not the best either. And this movie wasnt the best Bond movie i've seen either. The case or story didnt give me the real "Bond feeling" but it was still an ok movie tho. I guess i'm picky when it comes to James Bond..

But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless terrorist financier, in a high stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd (Eva Green). At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. The marathon poker game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.

My Review:
After watching 'The Spy Who Loved Me' i was in the mood for some more Bond, and i have wanted to see Casino Royal for a while now. Havent seen it since it came out i think. Atleast a few years since i saw it. And it is maby the best (behind Skyfall) "newer" Bond movies. In this you really got back that "oldschool" feeling from when Sean Connery was James Bond. And the bluray was amazing. Picture and sound was amazing aswell. For me it was perfect. I forgot how good it actually was! And ofc a ton with cool extras.

My Review:
Ofcourse i had to continue. And i dont know what to think about this one really. For me this was more of a sequel of Casino Royale. For me this was more of a action movie than a James Bond movie. Not a bad movie, but not a great James Bond movie either. But i guess i expect just a bit more when it comes to James Bond. Now i'm looking forward to check out 'Skyfall' when i got some extra time. I think Daniel Craig is doing a good job as James Bond so far.

My Review:
I guess i've been in a spy\James Bond mood lately. And i just had to continue. And it wasnt that long ago since i watched this, so i remembered much of it. But i still enjoyed every single minute of it. Skyfall might just be the best Bond movie ever made. If you guys disagree please let me know what your favorite Bond movie is. This movie is just perfect.
