Who can see ?

I felt it was about time to update the list of movies watched since the last update. Here is the first 17 from the list.

10.000 B.C.

Visually nice movie, but not one of the ones I'd go tell people to watch. On the other hand, I wouldn't tell them not to either.

3-10 to Yuma

Back to the old west. Now this is something completely different, we rush 9.800 years forward into wild wild west. The story is about a bandit held as a captive by an avarage poor honest mand and sin son, because of circumstances.

This is a classic drama, and one of the better ones. It isn't a sure thing, but it is for sure one of the better ones. You can go watch this one.

Accidental Husband

Moving on to comedy with a nice twist. This time it is Uma Thurman and Colin Firth in a love story. Uma still has a huge advantage since she gave birth and it is easily spottet in her role against Colin. This is an avarage movie. Not one of the great ones, so skip it, unless you really like Uma or Colin.

After Sex (2007)

Now here's a drame of the more odd ones. This one is about couples, swingers, gay's and the kinds and troubles in relationships, especially concerning the life when not having sex and the time right after sex. Anyway, this is an attempt to make a story and make it interesting by including sex in the title and putting beautiful young actors into a movie. This one isn't worth waisting your time on, skip it.

Alien Agent (2007)

Not much to say about this sci-fi action flic. It is not worth watching and the acting and script is simply too poor. Skip this one.

Aliens vs Predator Requiem

I wanted this movie to be good, I really did. But after the 1st AVP it has become worse. First time actors, it seems, poor script which reminds me most of "I know what you did last summer - BOO - and you're suppose to be scared". Too poor special effects and simply too poo overall. If you have a feeling that Alien Ressurection (Alien 4) was downhill and that Predator had rested a bit too long after Predator 2 - and that AVP was a sidekick then you should skip this movie completely.

American Gangster (2007)

Here we find Denzel Washington in a crime action drama which has it's roots in the 1970'ties. This flic is a sure thing. With a common score of 8/10 then it is absolutely worth watching. The drug world in the 1970'ties New York was a fierce scene and Frank Lucas takes advantage of the Mafia lack of grip for a short while. Anyway, Ridley Scott has made a masterpiece and you should go watch it.

The Babysitters

Now this was a suprise, and a pleasent one. In this movie we find Katherine Waterston who plays a 17yo teenager with the name of Shirley. By chance she starts a call girl service of "babysitters". This escalates into a real pimp lifestyle where things go wrong. Violence, nudity, sex and betrayl comes into the teenager life as she recruits boored classmates to work for her. It all starts with Michael, the father of children she baby-sits. A cup of coffee on the way home from his house, a night visit to a train yard, and one thing leads to another. Shirley can be ruthless, and tension builds when some of the clients take the girls to a mountain cabin and bring drugs. Then, one of the girls tries to freelance. Can this end well: is it a tragedy in the making? Do we all have secrets? Anyway, go see this one, it is absolutely worth it.

Beowulf

We move away from present time and into age of the Vikings, in this animated movie we find Beowulf, Grendel and Grendel's mother (Angelina Jolie). Above avarage animation although, it is not 300 style, then again, how can it be as the two movies differ completely. It is a good movie which gives some introduction to the legend of Grendel. Angelina is hot as always and the script is above avarage. This is not one of those movies you should rush to see, but if you have spare time and a chance, then go for it.

Beyond The Ring

Here's a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) movie which tries to introduce some drama about saving a little girls life, as she needs an operation. This movie is similar to Blood Sport, although there is much less fighting and much more "realistic" fighting. Surely they go underground with the fighting. This is a Gary Busey movie, and if you know the movies he's normally in then think of this one as one of the worse. Nuff said.

Big Stan

Lol, I should have known when Rob Schneider was on the poster. This is an all time avarage Rob Schneider movie, and nothing more. If you dig him then go watch it, otherwise it is a waiste of time. It is not even good for a hangover.

Casino Royale

"Shaken but not stirred". Daniel Craig at his best. James Bond at his best. This is a goodie. Probably the best James Bond movie so far. There is a lack of womanizing and Sean Connery/Roger Moore style to the character. But times has moved forward for Mr. Bond and it seems to fit that he isn't as "loveable" as normal. Go watch this one and wear your tux.

Chaos Theory

Here we have Ryan Renolds in character. His style moving from comedy into action (in Blade Trinity) and now into drama has seemed without trouble. He is trustworthy in his role and he does a good job. The script is good and it does prove to be worth spending 1:30min watching. You can watch this one with you gf, and still feel good about it when the flic is over. Go watch this one.

Cleaner (2007)

Here have Samuel L. Jackson in one of his roles. Samuel plays Tom Cutler and ex. policeman who now has a job of cleaning bloody crimescenes and other deaths. Tom has his own daemons to fight and so does his daugter. Tom get's tangled into crime unknowing, at first. The movie keeps the suspence to who is the real devil for quite some time. You even begin to imagine a split personality in Tom as you try to guess who the bad guy is. This is a good crime drama and it is worth watching.

Cloverfield

Godzilla on meth, mixed with the Blair Witch Project camera style. The entire movie is close to a run for your life movie while trying to save your love. I cannot say that I enjoyed watching the movie as most if the time I looked at the clock to figure out when then movie would be over. This movie simply does not fit my likings. Sorry, not worth watching.

Death Race

Here's Jason Statham (Crank, The Bank Job, Revolver, Transporter, Snatch etc) in one of his "driving" roles. By now he must be quite skilled in driving. Anyway, the movies is kinda off track as it takes it's seeds in a world where convicts can "fight" for freedom by completing and winning the Death Race, 5 times in a row. Jason is off course convicted without having done the crime and he seeks revenge and freedom. To cut it short. If you dig Statham then go see it, otherwise stay away. Jason does not fit into Mad Max.

Doomsday

Here you have the Reapers (from Serenity) meeting an all time killing virus which wipes the northern part of England. Rhona Mitra (Shooter, The Number 23 etc) playing an all time badass cop who is on a mission. She is anti social and knows how to kick ass, which she proves alot of times. Anyway, this movie is much like Will Smith's "I am Legend" with the twist of our main character Rhona going to kick their asses instead of saving them - to a beginning. Go watch it if you like the gore and the Mad Max style, otherwise skip it.
