    It's primarily a Danish review, considering it's a Danish movie, that happens to be my native tongue, but at the chance that the movie is watched and logged by English-speaking people too, i will have an English translation further down.

    Jeg har det nærmest en smule dårligt ved at være lidt lunken ved denne film.

    For det første var det en fedt opsat særvisning / forpremiere på filmen i den lokale bif, hvor at instruktøren, manuskriptforfatteren, medkomponist og et…

    While the movies of Studio Ghibli in general excels with beautiful illustration work and heartfelt stories, there is to me something special to the rather historical and realistic stories - like this and From Up On Poppy Hill. Even if both are somewhat fictional, this still being bit of a biopic, Miyazaki manages to have the historical time make a nice background for the story of Jiro Horikoshi's passionate dream of designing beautiful airplanes, even if they are to be…

    Bøf og Jazz - hvorfor er det ikke det vi har i stedet for Jensens Bøfhus?

    Falchen er en forholdsvis cool kat her i en filmatisering af Dan Túrell's Mord i/på-bøger, hvor specifikt i denne fortælling lever hans journalistiske ævred mere på hvordan han giver de lokale bøffer banketæv efter at have drukket deres middelmådige øl, og ligger i med den fagre beskikkede advokat - i embeds medfør, det' klart!

    Det smager lidt af en udkantsdansk giallo, med et POV-skud…

    ★★★

    Terry George's reasoning for adding a love triangle to the original story isn't totally unjustified, as it probably have made a more wide audience pay attention - definitely also due to the rather fine acting, especially from Oscar Isaac. But it does still stand a little weak next to the historical element that the movie truly thrives on. Even if my knowledge about the Armenian genocide is very limited, I choose to believe that the depiction of it stands accurate,…

    "There was a time when the old songs were new, right? Someone at some point had to give the songs a chance."

    Even though i'm not totally hooked on the movie, i will still appreciate how James Mangold have managed to fully create the 1960's on the screen. From the outfits, cars, bars, the nerve-wrecking fear of the unstable world situation, the social uprising of the youth revolting towards a culture and racial view that was decades behind - and…

    Robert Pattinson calling Robert Pattinson a little bitch. Tim Key in a fucking pidgeon costume.

    Wasn't really sure what to expect walking into this, as Parasite is the only other movie of Bong Joon-Ho that I have watched. Considering the plot and the progress, the trailer itself is amazing at convincing you of why you have to go watch this, without spoiling the story.

    The movie thrives on proper camerawork, great aesthetics as it comes to the space vessels and…
