Matt Damon freaks out on Adrian Grenier

What a great season 6 finale of Entourage, Matt Damon is by far the cameo-king. You’ve not seen the finale yet? Well, get on with it. What, you don’t watch Entourage? What the hell’s wrong with you, are you insane? Anyway, they seem to have had even more fun than what was shown in the

THE PHANTOM trailer

THE PHANTOM trailer

Well well well. This does’nt look promising. Or maybe it’s just the Phantom-fanboy in me awakening and not liking the reinvention of the character. It’s been what, 10 years since last I read about the Walker-legacy? Maybe so, but I really loved it. Let’s just hope they put some mythology into it, if this TV-series

FLASHFORWARD the new LOST?

FLASHFORWARD the new LOST?

This just looks amazing. ABC may have a new hit-show under way, not surprisingly with all the quality (especially Goyer, who co-wrote Batman Begins and The Dark Knight) involved in this one. The premise is that for 2 minutes and 17 seconds everyone on earth blacked out, getting a glimpse of their future. The who-the-what-now?

Watching HEROES taking one hell of a beating (Season 3 review)

Watching HEROES taking one hell of a beating (Season 3 review)

The biggest mystery of season 3 of the hit-show Heroes, was wondering where all the heroes went… Now that season 3 is completed, the best way I can summarize it is by comparing it to a boxing-match. It’s the champion of 2006/2007 who got knocked down in 2007/2008, and now in 2008/2009 tries to make

What I want from the entertainment industry

To quickly summarize before wall of text: I want the industry to give me their own version of “The Pirate Bay”. And I’m willing to pay for it. I’ll even pay them far more then I pay for what they offer today. Why? Well, that I save for the long version. Read on. No, I

The Weekend-Wath List (16)

This weeks weekend-watch list is a bit amputated. Time’s not on my side today. I’ve highlighted my recommendations, you can click on the links for information from IMDb. I really really REALLY recommend Rear Window on NRK2 at Sunday. Another Hitchcock-classic starring my favourite actor; James Stewart. On the TV Friday 20:55 Alatriste TV 2

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Season 2) – Review

The war to stop the coming war keeps going in the second season of the Fox TV-series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The first season got amputated due to the writers-strike, but some (like me) will say that it benefited the season with only 9 episodes. In this second season they go a full length
