Gone in the Night (2022)
Special
Not the movie i thought it was gonna be at first.
I got pretty disappointed out of this. The trailer looked good, the ploot aswell and i have always liked Winona Ryder, one of my favourite actors.
But i thought this was gonna be one of these psychological, dark and mysterious thrilkers. Instead we get a really slow and boring drama, with little as no mystery at all.
It's indeed a very unique film with special characters, pretty well directed.
Editing is sometimes awful, you get mixed up with places and the diffrent times.
However...
The long awaited plot twist makes it much better and alot more interesting and it gets abit more understandable and really changes the entire film. Definitely gets more like i thought it would be, at the end!
Winona Ryder makes a really great performance!
A special film, it's definitely watchable.
Loups-Garous (2024)
Mixed feelings
This works. Or atleast the classical concept that we seen before, as in "Jumanji". But this time with a "horror" twist to it and it does not makes it any better.
Not often i watch French films, so I didnt know what to expect at all. I was intrigued by this since the first teaser trailer and i saw Jean Reno was in it, one of my favourite actors and that this really fits for the October days.
This feels really bad at some moments, abit silly sometimes, but it also manages to be abit more entertaining in periods. It's definitely a family movie that works on a friday evening, but not more then that. We have seen this concept before and the manuscript is really bad, nothing new or unique at all.
Jean Reno does a good performance, but the other actors are abit worse.
You can definitely watch this with your family on a weekend, but dont really expect too much from it.
A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)
Disappointed
Extremely disappointed! I had very high expectations for this, it felt like a really good plot for Seth MacFarlane to take on. He is one of my favorites and I see Family Guy as one of the best and most genuinely funniest series ever.
Sure, this film has some funny parts, but otherwise it's poorly made, the script could have been written by anyone and it didn't feel much like Seth and his style. It simply becomes too much, in a bad way. It becomes quite childish, lethargic and downright boring to watch.
Sometimes you laugh, but not often. It could be so much more fun and so much more. There are actually quite a few good actors, who you like and who you put in many others. You can guess that they take on the script, just because they know it will be a hit with viewers.
No, Seth, you're not showing your best side here.
The Retirement Plan (2023)
From B-movie to your good old fashioned Cage-thriller
Didnt know what to expect really...
Said to be one of Nicolas Cage (one of my all time favourite actors) last films, so felt i had to watch this undoubtedly!
Aswell with many more unexpected great actors that i know from before and like, for example the actor behind Norm from Avatar 1&2!
This started really really bad. The manuscript was poor, aswell the acting. It felt that i was watching a documentary, sitcom och reality show with poor film angels and "hidden camera angel" that really this movie feel very B.
But as Cages character came in he really took the movie to a bit higher level. It actually got pretty funny abit, abit entertaining. Its a very easy movie to watch, maybe thats why it felt perfect on a saturday evening. A classic and avarage thriller. The acting is both good from Cage, aswell from most of the other actors.
Some small details, the "Washington" scenes isnt surley filmed there, the office scenes are most likely filmed in a studio with a paper background of the city. Feels cheap. Aswell the editing gets bad and abit of confusing last 30 min and abit silly sometimes.
But however, definitely watchable!
Kinds of Kindness (2024)
Good, but not better then Poor Things
It was only some months ago i watched Giorgos Lanthimos latest film "Poor things" which i really loved and i adore his type of filmmaking. I find the most of his films extremely interesting and deep. I really love his artistic, unique and creative style of filmmaking!
The line of actors is some of my favourites. Aswell the amazing trailer really got me intrigued for his lastest "Kinds of kindness"!
This one is very different from "Poor things", aestheticly, but it really also focuses on the dialogues and the human emotions, needs and desires.
First of all, love the filming and cinematography! Looks so smooth and satisfying!
As usual by Giorgos, the manuscript is confusing (but in a good way) and he manages to create that wierd and dynamic atmosphere which he always does so good!
Acting is extremely good by every actor!
Again Giorgos Lanthimos manages to create something you never have seen before in your life! Indeed a very special and unique film!
This is a film that will make you think and it will stay with you for a long time after the credits. Definitely worth watching! Good, but it isnt better then Poor things.
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Truly a classic! Not the best, but still worth watching!
Just some days ago i read an article stating from Stephen King, with him saying this is one of the most terrifying, one of the best and most scariest horrorfilms out there, i felt (as being a horrorfilm lover) i had to see this. And aswell said to be one of those must watch classic films in the history of film, said to be one of the first modern zombiemovies. With a rainy and foggy afternoon in October it was a perfect day for "Night of the living dead" for the first time. It also got the very high rating on imdb. So i was really excited.
The first minutes really gives a special vibe and atmosphere. One of those typical types you connect and think about when you think about the zombiegenre and vintage horror classic.
But ofcourse it's difficult to compare to new horrorfilms. I certainly understand that this was revolutionary and very good when it got released. But i dont know if i could say it still holds up to that level today.
However, Truly a classic! Not the best, but Its definitely still worth watching!
Le voyage dans la lune (1902)
Part of human history
If you have any interest in film at all you have to watch this. Everyone on earth should see this. Not necessarily because its good to today's standards, reminder this is over 100 years old. This is not only a essential part of filmhistory, its also a part of the human history. Human development. Human creation and human art of expression.
Its a way of expressing with new technology, one of the biggest dreams of all human accomplishments. Visiting the moon, in times it were impossible. The first dream produced with cinematic abilities.
Im glad its extremely well known, i have recognised that famous moon with a face in it, for as long as i can remember.
This was the start to one of our most precious and most important expressions we have. And one of the most famous films out there. Its only about 15 minutes, watch it.
It's What's Inside (2024)
Special
Didnt heard much about this, until the day before the release. I read about it on a movie magazine online and the plot really intrigued me.
It mixes one of two very intriguing genres to me, horror and psychological thriller/drama. So i really felt i had to watch this as fast as i could!
It starts out abit unpredictable and abit lame. But as soon as every character meets in the house the plot is acted out in it, you get that "Who dunnit"/Time loop films, "Rebirth (2016)", "The babysitter (2017), "Happy Death day (2017)" vibe. And i really like that atmosphere in movies. The acting gets abit better aswell the script.
The filming is pretty unique and i really like it! Fits really well! Very well directed.
It has a very unique setting. The lighting and colours are very mixed and expressive, which creates a very dynamic dark atmosphere.
Abit disappointed about the end...
A pretty smart and interesting movie! I really recommend it! Definitely worth giving a try!
Evil Dead II (1987)
Very mixed
Actually better then the first one (I gave the first iconic film in the series 2/10). But still very bad.
Well i understand that these films were very good when they first did come out, but i dont see how anyone could rate this higher then 3.
Sure its abit more scary then the first film. It has some good and unexpected jumpscapres.
But the poor acting, effects and quality of the production just screams B-movie. The manuscript is a awful alot of constant screaming and awful dialogues between the characters. I understand that this is slapstick. But its so extremely exaggerated.
Not worth watching at all. However the plot gets abit more entertaining then i would thought, with the end, that makes me wanna continue with the franchise.
Se7en (1995)
Really good!
Its a real surprise that i havent seen this yet, its a movie that ive have heard so much about and i just simply thought ive watched it before.
But when i decided to watch it it hit me that i didnt recall seeing it.
Being on Imdb too 250 all time and having a bery high rating i was really intrigued to see how this was gonna turn out. The plot is really interesting and really fits the dark mystery/crime/thriller genre.
First of all the acting is phenomenal and outstanding especially from Morgan Freeman, which always makes world class performances! A extremely intelligent film!
Pitt and Freeman creates a really well dynamic!
Storytelling is amazing!
The directing, the soundtrack and filming is really good aswell!
I really recommend this one! Its a film you have to watch!
Strul (2024)
Much better then i excepted!
This was far better then i expected.
Theres been some time since i saw the original "Strul" from 1988, so i was pretty intrigued and interested when i saw the trailer for this reboot. I quickly recognised and was abit surprised of the wide range of familiar faces of the actors. Many famous Swedish actors in it.
This one was actually pretty good. Its one of these cozy, easy to watch, crime thriller/comedy.
I had some mixed feelings sometimes, because it lacks abit in the plot with some holes, but it manages to cover them up, with great acting and a pretty funny manuscript and storytelling.
Definitely worth watching!
Jakt (2024)
Brutal, unique, heavy, deep and interesting
Its not often i see Swedish film making one of my all time favourite genres - Psychological Thrillers! So i felt i had to watch this! Wanted to see this for a while!
First of all it got a really intriguing, original, special, and interesting plot that definitely fits the genre!
It starts out having a very good cinematography! Very beautiful!
The acting is much better then i thought it would be!
Great soundtrack!
The manuscript is really deep, the atmosphere and mixes well with the original plot and the actors. A really thought provoking piece.
It has its moments where it is abit confusing.
You get a very wierd feeling from this film.
"Jakt" is a film that studies human behaviour and social dilemmas aswell the psychological impacts and the effects on the mind. A very unique, heavy, intense, deep and brutal psychological thriller. Definitely worth to watch.
Änglagård (1992)
A Swedish Classic!
Said to be a iconic piece in the genre of Drama and within the productions from Sweden! Yet i havent watched this until now and ive heard so much about it, so i had pretty high expectations.
I got pretty intrigued that it played at Cannes and was the Swedish entery for the Academy Awards as best foreign movie!
First of all, the filming, cinematography and scenery is perfect and very beautiful! Along with the great soundtrack! The environment fits perfectly for the film and the atmosphere!
Storytelling is very good and its directed very well!
Helena Bergström makes a great performence aswell Rikard Wolff
Definitely a Swedish gem! Maybe not for everyone, bur certainly a great and intense, deep drama that i really recommend you to watch! Definitely a big part of Swedish film history! A Swedish classic!
Mother, Couch (2023)
Excellent, artistic, deep and unique psychological thriller/drama
Wanted to watch this for a really long time! The premise looked extremely intriguing and the plot is really unique and special! Love these types of unique films and innovative plots!
Ewan McGregor is one of my all time favourite actors and does a amazing performance! One of his best!
This was really a movie in my taste! That mixes different genres and atmospheres!
First of all, It gives you that feeling you want from a good and intense psychological thriller/drama!
Niclas Larsson does a amazing job! Definitely a promising talent in filmmaking! Its really well put together and directed!
Soundtrack is perfect and really fits the film!
I really recommend this unique film!
However i don't understand the ending fully, which was abit disappointing! But its a very deep film which let the viewer decide! I really like that!
A intrestring study of the mind and the fate, and the mind's acceptance through trauma, family and loss!
It leaves you with a very special and wierd feeling after.
Excellent, artistic, deep and unique psychological thriller/drama. Definitely worth watching!
Longlegs (2024)
Had potential
Said to be one of the most awaited horrorfilm in years. This felt kinda like Wes Anderson made a avarage horrorfilm.
It definitely had a good premise and a trailer that felt it was gonna have potential, and thats exactly what i felt the first minutes when i started to watch it in the cinema.
First of all, Nicolas Cage (one of my all time favourites) does a marvellous and fantastic performance, maybe one of his greatest ever. Except the voice it's impossible to recognise him.
And the acting from the main character is very unique with a unusual character and charm, but she does it pretty good!
Otherwise its a pretty strange film, it gets abit too much and too much wierdness. I love some wierd horrorfilms that has this kinda of perfect atmosphere of mystery, but "Longlegs" fails with that, with poor acting from some actors, a bad manuscript and a slow driven story.
Unfortunately a waste of potential. Barely worth watching, dont expect too much out of it. Its not worth the expectations and attention.
Ohjus (2024)
Better then i expected!
First of all the premise sounded really intriguing aswell with a good trailer! Its not very often i watch Finnish films and certainly they arent that common at Netflix! So i felt i had to watch this as soon i could!
The big question mark is the editing. I dont know what to think about it. It's extremely quick and sometimes very loose and gets you confused. Sometimes it works very well and give the film a pace which makes you stuck to the story and dont want to take you eyes off from it.
It also captures the fight of feminism and journalistic freedom.
Aswell with a good script and a really driving character who is played incredibly well with passion, the film is always driven forward! Better then i expected!
Soundtrack is really great!
I really recommend this one! It's definitely worth watching! A avarage and good film!
Run (2020)
Couldn't take my eyes off from it! Very clever!
Psychological thrillers is one of my all time favourite genres! So i was very exited about this one!
This got to be one of the best and most clever psychological thrillers ive watched for a very long time!
With a great trailer and premise this is exactly what you want out from a good psychological thriller!
This film is really clever and manages to give you true horror and intense captivating vibes. With great acting from everyone and a great manuscript you cant take your eyes of it! Extremely well made and performed!
Storytelling is really good!
The reason to why i dont give it much higher rating, is because it sometimes gets abit unrealistic and too much, some few plot holes and unanswered questions. But other then that, just what i wanted!
I really recommend this one! Its definitely worth watching!
Scarface (1983)
A Classic! Very good!
"Scarface" is said to be a classic and a must watch! So i was pretty excited i finally was able to watch it for the first time, throughout all these years.
Al Pacino is one of these classic actors, not necessarily one of my favourites, but has has some very good performances during his life.
First of all, the manuscript feels pretty realistic! Well written! The acting is also very good and feels authentic.
Filming, editing, storytelling, cinematography and soundtrack is very good and fits the atmosphere of the film!
It's definitely worth watching and i would recommend it! And a film you need to watch atleast once in your life! Worth its high rating on IMDB, aswell it being on the too 250 films list on IMDB.
A Classic! Very good!
Grimcutty (2022)
Not bad at all! Pretty unique!
I dont understand why this has a such low rating.
It actually feels abit realistic, modern, intresting and explores current subjects such as the use of social media, which makes it feel true to life and actually quite scary.
Well acted!
Gives that feeling you want out of a good horror films, it pushes the limits and brings out the facts that we actually dont fully know yet how the use of internet and phones affects us and our health yet mixes with the mysterious culture behind folklore, conspiracy theories, creepy pastas and the classic of "True paranaomal activities that the parents don't understand yet, which think its not real", which its a real great and intriguing plot.
Manuscript fails abit sometimes and gets bad, but manages to get back on track and getting better.
The film captures the modern fear of how viral challenges and internet phenomena can affect young people
Very well made aswell actually!
The problem is just the final 40 mins, where it gets abit too much.
Pretty good filmed!
But other then that not bad at all! Give it a try! Over my expectations! A good and a pretty unique horrorfilm! I really recommend it!
La nouvelle femme (2023)
Very beautiful, artistic and deep
Nothing that exceptional, but i would really recommend this!
I saw this in a pretty small cinema. There weren't many people unfortunately, but i was intrigued by the real life character and the story.
This was really what i thought it was gonna be. Beautiful cinematography, beautiful scenery, excellent acting. A very artistic and unique piece!
Its a very thought provoking film, which really makes about feminism and the equality and moral in humanity, aswell the healing process and power of music. The power of a new education through freedom and individual guidance.
It's definitely not a film for everyone, but i would definitely recommend it! Its worth watching! Beautiful, artistic and deep!
Gran Torino (2008)
Amazing!
This was actually really really good and something very unique, something i really haven't seen before. Really above my expectations!
I thought this was gonna be just as any otger typical US actiondrama. It had a pretty bad start, but it just got better and better!
Its a really deep story about moral and change. It reminds me ALOT of "A man called Otto" or the Swedish original "En man som heter Otto". I really liked both of them and this surly was a inspiration to the original film.
This really is something special and i think you really have to see it! Amazing storytelling, great actung from everyone and amazing manuscript! I really recommend this!
Late Night with the Devil (2023)
Unique and interesting
Wanted to watch this a really long time, with a very good, interesting concept and trailer!
First up, the atmosphere and era its very well made for the time and it feels pretty authentic in the beginning!
The plot ia really intriguing!
It have ALOT of up and downs, because this is very unique horror and definitely something you havet seen before!
It has some good aspects with being deep and psychological horrifying. But it gets very confusing, leaves the audience with too may unanswered question and with a awful ending that doesn't fit the atmosphere at all.
Its a pretty weird film, it doesnt have to be anything bad. But this was avarage, very mixed. But its watchable!
Apocalypse Now (1979)
boring, wierd and slow!
Had very high hopes on this one, based on it's extremely high rating here on imdb and among top 250 on imdb. Said to be a classic and a must watch!
I don't understand how it could have a such high rating!
Its just as many other of the typical US war film! Nothing new or original!
Though however i like the focus of the psychological aspects!
I would definitely say that the environment and the scenery is extremely well made to feel realistic! Other then that it mostly fails at feeling realistic with the acting and the lame, non original and boring manuscript.
Very boring, wierd and slow!
Not really good storytelling either, sometimes abit confusing, failing to give answers and explanations, and some movies does that good and its very suitable, but not for this one. Poorly written characters!
Definitely overrated!
Worth to watch, but don't expect much at all!
12 Angry Men (1957)
Extremley good! A powerful film! Ahead of its time!
Wanted to watch this for a really long time, mainly because of its very very high rathere on imdb and its said to be a must watch and its definitely has a good and intriguing plot! So i went in with very high hopes with this!
I tend to enjoy older films, theres many thats pretty bad and dont live up at all for today's audience in my point of view, but theres some special ones! And i hopes this was going to be one of those special and classical films!
The storytelling is amazing! Simple, but fantastic with extremely well written characters! Aswell the atmosphere!
This is a extraordinary and very intelligent film giving new perspectives of the true meaning of the words justice and moral!
This being shot in just one single takes makes it a very intense experience adding to the drama!
First of all the filming, manuscript and acting is really good and ahead of its time!
Its a movie which really keeps you stuck to it! Extremely well made and extremely well directed! Feels very realistic and authentic!
I agree, its a movie you have to see atleast once in your life! I really recommend it! A film definitely ahead of its time! A very powerful film! Extremely good!
Intouchables (2011)
A Beautiful classic
Truly a classic of many generations!
Cinematic art in one of its purets form!
Along with amazing acting, a fantastic manuscript and genuinely being funny. "intouchables" manages to tell a message, that feels authentic and real, very close to the human spectrum of emotion, Happiness, wholesomeness, connection and humility. It describes the danger of being alone and how much we beed other people in our life to feel happy.
Its so simple and manages, at the same time, to being extremely beautiful told and put together!
Soundtrack is extremely good!
François Cluzet and Omar Sy does performances of a lifetime!
Its really a movie everyone should see atleast once in their life! I really recommend it!
