My Review:
Another good movie in the series. The movie starts off a bit after the first movie ended. And we are in a hospital this time. Where we follow one of the surivors. And ofc in a horror flick and hospitals, bad things happens. For me this is maby the best Norwegian\Scandinavian horror frenchise made. If you enjoy a good horror flick you should check this series out.

My Review:
I was suddenly in the mood for some Indiana Jones, havent watched the tranfser to HD. And it was ages since i saw it last time. So i had to check it out. Great movie ofc, a great Harrison Ford as Mr.Indiana! Wont say too much about the movie, but i really liked the transfer tho! Great start to the franchise! If you enjoy Indiana Jones, the HD is worth the doubledip so far.

My Review:
That was a different kind of movie. But what a great movie it was! I great mix between Sci-Fi and thriller. Fun story that get you glued to the screen for the 1.5 hours. And it is always to see Morgan Freeman. Mr. Freeman never does a bad movie. And Scarlett Johansson did a great part too. All in all, check it out! Worth the money.

My Review:
Been a crazy month, havent been able to watch any movies at all. Today i finally got a day off, and i was able to check this one out. Havent watched it before, but heard great things about it. And i've liked other movies Steve Mcqueen have been in. And i have to agree with Gunnar on this. Really great movie. Great moments here and there, and we even got some great chase scenes. All in all, i great movie. A movie i will be watching again!












My Rating:

[GSyren]

Good to hear that you liked it. When you rewatch it, keep an eye out for a green VW beetle during the car chase. They pass that same car at least four times.

[DSig]

This is really a great film.  Funny how you find/read someone who hasn't seen this or one of the other monumental films .. several of them with Steve McQueen.  Reading this is almost as much fun as finding a gem myself <G>

My Review:
I havent seen this in ages. And i wanted to check it out again. Didnt remember much of it to be honest. But the movie is ok enough. We got some great moments here and there. But i miss a bit more of the car chases really. Its more a action movie for me. Not a car movie. But nonetheless i've orded 'The Transporter 2 & 3' on bluray, so hopefully it will arrive this coming week. And as long you dont expect too much of the movie. Its a decent movie. We all know what we get from Jason Statham anyways.

My Review:
Its another decent movie from 'The Transpoter' crew. Nothing oscar worthy, but they make it work with what they got. I liked this movie a bit better then the first one. A bit more action packed this one, and we got some more car chases in this. Wich was something i was looking for. And Statham is Statham. He isnt the best of actors, but he's fun to watch sometimes.












My Rating:

[DSig]

Exactly right .. with Statham you get Statham.  And as with Stalone, schwarzenegger, Willis etc .. that is a good thing.  Except for the odd outing one thing you know is you will get good entertainment from them (if you like 1 you will like most).  And not being oscar worthy ... well there are many Oscar films that i have found darn right boring from trying too hard.  Yep ... That's Entertainment

My Review:
And since i was at it i had to watch the last one too ofc. And this was\is my favorite of the 3. Alot more of the driving\car chases that i've missed in the two first ones. And the story was a bit more "interesting" and action packed. And i actually think Statham did a better job in this. All in all, a decent franchise worth checking out i guess.
