Kyrkogårdsön (2004)
Famous five Swedish island adventure
This movie has a lot in common with the adventures of the the Famous Five in Enid Blyton's books. Beautiful scenery, youngsters on summer vacation and some mysterious events.
The script has potential and the limited budget of the film tries to make the best out of it. The casting serves the purpose and some clever sidelines can be observed (like one characters constant obsession with food or the behaviour of the local boat-policeman).
All in all an entertaining experience, although towards the end of the movie you start to fear that it will be the easy way out and some questions will be left unanswered. Well, this happens and all who waited to see the submarine won't get their cake.
Additional 20 minutes of screen time in the ex-military base with some special effects would have helped this movie to really shine. Now it just leaves you with a flashback to the 80's island summers.
Miffo (2003)
Realistic representation
If your into current swedish movies, this one holds the standard. A somewhat unusual storyline with surprises at regular intervals keeps it going. Scenery seen in the movie is very true to current Stockholm and it's suburbs. Casting is quite ok too.
Minority Report (2002)
Technofreak chaos
Superficially the movie is very well made, the story is intriguing and fluently presented so it makes good entertainment but... here comes the but...
If you start to analyze more deeply what you have, some noteworthy issues arise. The setup of the story takes quite a bit of time in the beginning of the movie, around 1 hour or so. This partly is also the reason why the running time of the movie is on the long side.
The environment where the movie is set tries to present a prediction on how urban living in the future would look like. Strong contrasts can be seen, some scenes are very much on the scifi side where as other scenes are very much on "nothing has changed" side. On top of that each of the main characters in the movie are presented with strong personalities which creates some interesting scenes.
So all in all it is many things put into one package, maybe too many things in one package... at times it is hard to see what is the main focus: the story, the techno show or maybe the character personality study. Go see it and try to make sense out of it beyond the obvious story.
French Kiss (1995)
Any fun in 'Bob'?
You know that english can be spoken in many different ways? Right, do you remember those laughs that you had while explaining yourself?
You know that people behave differently in different parts of the world? Right, do you remember the awkward situations that this can lead to?
Those feelings will come up while watching this movie. These small things are not the main issue in the movie, there's the plot, the hilarious dialogue, the french thing and all the other stuff. But if you ever were in a similar situation, you will enjoy this movie.
Operation Petticoat (1959)
A one to remember
This is one of the movies I still remember even though I saw this when I was something like ten years old. That would be about fifteen years ago.
A very funny movie, provides some good laughs for the technically interested and shows how a war movie can be funny. I would watch it again.
Con Air (1997)
Too much?
This movie sure has lot's of action.
Behind the action there is also a small story line which is introduced in the beginning and then again returned to at the end of the movie. But that's about it, leaves you wanting more.
The rest is pure action, action and more action. Some unique camera angles and interesting scenes but at many points you might start to think that is it too much? Going a bit overboard I would say... ...but if you want to be more rambo than rambo himself, you have to go a bit overboard.
