I must forget to remember that I probably will forget PINK PANTHER 2 (review)

I must forget to remember that I probably will forget PINK PANTHER 2 (review)

Hamburger. No. Hmmmberger. I remember that hilarious part well from the first go-around with the revamped Pink Panther series. But I remember little else and I suspect time will eat up memories about this one too. It’s what time does, it takes everything and this one probably pretty fast.  I remember more about the classic

Chilllin’ with the third ICE AGE (review)

It’s so damn hot outside I could fry an egg on the sidewalk. Luckily Sid and his gang’s back with a cool and refreshing ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS. Oh how I love word-plays. Bada-bing, bada-boom. And chances are you’ll love this film. At least you’ll get a little crush, like Scrat has in

Just seen PRIME-TIME, aka TRANSFORMERS: ROTF (review)

Jun 30th, 2009 | By Vidar Daatland

In most cases only kids in the age of 8-12 will be smart enough to see the genius that is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This is crash, boom, bang, like reading something with CAPS LOCK in almost EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE. The best word to sum it up is INSANE. It’s surrealistic, a film that

THE UNINVITED could have been great (Review)

If this had been directed by Alfred Hitchcock, then maybe it would have gone down in history as another one of his great flick. But that’s a big “what if”, because Hitchcocks been dead for almost 20 years now and the Guard-brothers, who directed this one, will probably not pick up where he left of.

Wheres the spirit in THE SPIRIT? (Review)

The Spirit is a crime-fighter who returned from the dead and seemingly lives forever. I, on the other hand, barely made it through the first 30 minutes of this film. An adaption that could have been great, but who fell short due to a director lacking the skills to walk the talk. “It seems that

Going retro with TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (Review)

It was time for a trip down memory lane to visit my old friends again; The mean green fighting machines Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michalangelo. This old kids-classic from 1990 will forever have a special place in my film-heart. I’ve got fond memories of this one, especially since it was the first film rated 15

Here we go again with MAMMA MIA! (Review)

Gimme gimme gimme a film with Abba-songs and I’ll surely take a chance on it. But does it win and take it all, or does it loose and have to fall? Abba, it’s hard to say you don’t like them and still pretend to have a soul. They are the bright sun on the pop-heaven,

I’m saying yes to YES MAN (Review)

Don’t say no to life. But should you say no to this movie? No, I mean yes, no wait I mean yes you should not say no to this movie. Or.. What? Jim Carrey is one of my all time-favourites. He is for me the king of comedy, he totally ruled the 90′s and he

Just gained SEVEN POUNDS (Review)

Are you a good person when no one is watching? I’d bet Ben Thomas could answer that. Seven Ponds is the latest flick starring the king of blockbusters; Will Smith. But this is no grand slam with epic battles and explosions behind every corner. This is a low paced drama-story about a man who seeks
