My Review:
Just two silly movies but pure gold for me. I would never get tired of the movies. And i hadnt seen the movies in HD, so i decided to upgrade them awhile ago. And now i'm finally done with the last one. Just pure gold, the action is fast and furious, some awesome chases. And with Michael Bay you ofc get some explotions all over the place. But for me what makes the movies in the chemistry between Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, they are just amazing with their comedy gold, one liners and their body language. Just awesome!! And the tranfser to bluray was good aswell.

Title: Lemmy
Year: 2010
Director: Greg Olliver, Wes Orshoski
Rating: Rated 15 : Strong language, twice very strong, and hard drug references
Length: 116 Min.
Video: Widescreen 1.78:1
Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, English: PCM: 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles: English












Stars:
Motörhead
Lemmy Kilmister
Phil Campbell
Mikkey Dee
Featuring
Dave Navarro












Plot:
In LEMMY, directors Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski explore the amazing life and career of heavy metal pioneer and cultural icon Lemmy Kilmister, the life force behind the enduring, influential band Motörhead.

Over more than four decades, the drug-fueled, raspy-voiced Kilmister's career has intersected with many of the touchstone moments in rock: He saw the Beatles at the Cavern Club, he served as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix, he mentored Sid Vicious and played in both Merseybeat and psychedelic rock bands before fusing punk and metal and thus providing the inspiration for thrash metals with Motörhead.

Along the way, he forever inspired the likes of Dave Grohl, Slash and Metallica, all of whom appear in LEMMY, alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Peter Hook, Jarvis Cocker and more.

My Review:
Wow, what a man. What a career. I love the motorhead. And i love rock and roll. What a ride they put us trough in this 2 hour long documentery. We get some cool interviews from other big names in the music world, and ofc we get to follow Lemmy himself around on gigs, at his home. And he is 100% honest about his life, wich is very refreshing to me. This blurayset with over 200minutes with just bonus features is a must have of any music fan out there. What a great movie!

Title: Motel Hell
Year: 1980
Director: Kevin Connor
Rating: Rated 18 : Strong Language and Horror
Length: 101 Min.
Video: Widescreen 1.85:1
Audio: English: PCM: 2-Channel Stereo, Commentary: PCM: 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles: English












Stars:
Rory Calhoun
Paul Linke
Nancy Parsons
Nina Axelrod
Wolfman Jack
Elaine Joyce












Plot:
"It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters!" cackle the brother-and-sister team behind the finest smoked meats in the county. They also run the friendly Motel Hello (the 'o' in the neon sign sometimes goes on the blink), and no matter how many times you've seen Psycho or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you can be sure that everything will be perfectly above board here as Vincent’s brother Bruce is the local sheriff.

Western veteran Rory Calhoun gives a lipsmackingly demented performance as Farmer Vincent, whose twinkling bonhomie conceals a deeply depraved secret.

Directed by Kevin Connor (maker of much-loved British genre classics The Land That Time Forgot and Warlords of Atlantis) and with legendary DJ Wolfman Jack as a fire-and-brimstone TV preacher, this is a gleefully twisted horror-comedy that climaxes with a showstopping chainsaw duel.

My Review:
Well, that was a fun kind of horror movie. Havent seen it before. But it got recommanded to me and after watching the trailer i decided i needed it. And what a movie it was. Its a great horrorflick about a crazy family that runs a motel a bit out of the ordinary. The movie got some real great moments trough out. And we get some really creepy spots with some real creepy characters. Well played. I would really recommand to check this one out!

[GSyren]

I agree. It may be 13 years since I saw it, but I remeber it fondly.

[Achim]

I saw lt last year for the first time (bought the Shout Factory release) and was quite surprised how fun this movie was. Definitely an 80s horror that held up better than most.

My Review:
What a great Bond movie. One of the better i've seen in a while. Almost up there with Skyfall and Casino Royale! Really got the "Bond feeling" again from this one. Wont say too much, we all know what  Bond is about. But am i crazy or is Daniel Craig one of the better (if not the best) James Bond since Sean Connerey?
Amazing movie. Recommanded highly even if you isnt a bond fan. Great movie!












My Rating:

[Achim]

But am i crazy or is Daniel Craig one of the better (if not the best) James Bond since Sean Connery?

You are not crazy... Or we both are.

Too bad he doesn't want to do it anymore. Rumor says it he declined a rather large offer (which would have been for two more movies though).

As Spectre is somewhat open ended, they are in just as a silly situation as they were after Quantum of Solace. I feel they should have wrapped it up here, but I guess they want to use Blofeld in at least 1, or better 2, more movie(s). I am a bit fatigued of Bond now being a 4-film series, maybe even 5, rather than the contained stories they used to be.

My Review:
So i guess that was that? This was the end. I really enjoyed the first movies, but the mockingjay "series" wasnt my favorites tho. Some cool effects and some cool scenes here and there. And we all knew i guess what was coming. And i guess the ending (even tho we knew how it would end, was just fitting) But not a bad movie at all really. Enjoyed it. And it had its moments, but not my favorite Hunger Games movie tho. But The hunger games is recommanded to check out.
And it helps that i'm in love with Jennifer Lawrence i guess.

My Review:
Wow, that was actually a real good "follow up" movie. Great story, and ofc we had to see Annabelle the creepy doll! I hate dolls and clowns! Dont know why, but i find they so scary for some reason. Some real good moments trough out. Alot of good scare moments, like Annabelle. This is a horror movie you should watch when its dark and rainy outside. And home alone, and in a dark room.
Really recommand the movie. A real good movie for you horror fans out there.

My Review:
Me being a fan of movies that are from true events, and a fan of history. I knew about the story, seen something before on tv. And i knew that he was caught not many years ago. And this biopic about his life, and how things was "handled" back when he was the boss was real interesting. And Johnny Depp as Mr.Bulger a crimeboss was actually refreshing. Not used to see Depp in those kind of roles, and he did a good job too IMHO. Overall this was a good action\mob movie, based on a true story or not. I would highly recommand to check it out! I really enjoyed it anyways.

My Review:
I've seen mixed reviews about this movie so i hadnt too high expectations watching it. But man, what a cool horror movie it really was! It started off a bit slow, with a few events here and there. And boom there comes a real cool twist in the middle of the movie i never saw coming, and after that it picked up.
I really enjoyed this one. If you go in with low expactations i think you really will like it and find the twist real cool. I recommand you to check it out.












My Rating:

[Achim]

Seeing how M. Night was already at pretty much the lowest point he could be, I had very low expectations when I saw The Visit at the local cinny a few months back. I found it to be sufficiently entertaining and the twist did surprise me more than it should have. Many people apparently found the kids more annoying and disliked the film on that basis, but I thought they were fine. Not scary, really, but there are worse ways to spend 90mins.

[Piffi]

Well, i actually agree.

My Review:
Well, we all know what we get with a Liam Neeson movie. Usually a fast pased action movie, with alot of shooting and swearing. And it wasnt any different here, but there was some big names in the movie who showed that they still got it. They plot wasnt anything special, but they made it work. And it was cool to see both Ed Harris and Bruce McGill again, (being a fan of Rizzoli & Isles the tv-show, where he plays now) I recommand you to take a look at the movie, just know what its a typical Neeson movie. With alot of action and some real good moments here and there.
And i guess the extras on this blu-ray disc could have been just a bit better. We get some deleted scenes etc. But i miss a few things in the extras. But thats just me tho.
