I love the flow of the story, the love between them slowly develops its slow but you felt it and so real.…

"Battle of Oslo"or "Blücher" is the second Norwegian film, I've seen in recent years, that covers the early days of the invasion of Norway.
Colonial Birger Eriksen was in charge of the Oscarsborg Fortress when the Germans lauched their invasion, sinking the Nazi battleship Blucher, instrumental in buying time for the Norwegian goverment and King, to escape the country.
This film, like its predecessor, imparts in stark terms, the emotional individual impact felt by a nation's people, that had not been at war, to that point, for 120 years. The awful decision Eriksen has to make to take a…

I watched Fifty Shades of Grey, maybe it was just because I was getting to know that world for the first time. Or maybe Hollywood really has lost it's best writers but these latest movies are just missing something ...…

When I first watched this on TV back in the 90's thought it was a great movie. But watching it again, thought it wasn't that funny. Guess times change! It was a fun idea, but the lines were pretty bad guess it was just a lovely idea. Good story though so well done on that. I really enjoyed the character development, they made Sherlock Holmes a real person with feelings and emotions.…

It's very rare that the 2nd movie is better than the 1st and in this case it's true. Not as good as the 1st but actually it stood on it's own. Had a good story apart from the 1st movie and held it's own. Not as funny or clever plot bit more predictable but enjoyable.…

Had a lovely theme but with Frozen having epic songs, I've really come to expect more from Disney animated films. This was okay and funny had some good moments but kind-a felt like someone wrote it down on a napkin and made a film about it and didn't really put a lot of effort into it, sorry.…

Story of a girl that destroys lives. She is evil, and what made her evil and not just a bad person, was that she used people she deemed as good. She targeted people that were caring and tried to live good lives. I wanted to feel sorry for her because she was given two horrible parents and she never recovers from their effect. The saddest part of this show was that she absolutely destroys the people that care about her. I was heartbroken for them. The performances were believable which was worse for me. These people were irredeemable. Kim You Jung (Baek Ah Jin) was great. Kim Young Dae (Yoon J…

The challenges of balancing home life and work life can be tremendous for those in committed relationships. Those conditions can be made even more difficult for partners who work together, essentially forcing them together 24/7 and never giving them a chance to get away from their circumstances (or one another). And, if they become parents, add to that already-full plate the responsibilities of child rearing, a scenario that can be just as hard on the kids as it is on those attempting to raise them. It’s certainly a gamble whether those spouses and their families can cope and survive, let alon…

Cinematography is fine, color grading is fine, sound design is fine—though a bit over the top.
The plot? What the hell even is this, messy as hell. Not scary at all; if anything, it just makes you sleepy.
The jump-scare formula is the same old Indonesian horror, cheap and painfully predictable. Sure, it’s an improvement over KKN, but it’s not maximized at all.
The sexual scenes also feel completely unnecessary, especially when they go that far (even if it’s still relatively mild). Feels more like a marketing gimmick than something that actually adds any substance to the film.…

> **A Puzzle That Knows You’re Watching It**
I walked out of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery feeling mentally wrung out—in the best way. It was one of those rare cinema experiences where I could feel my brain buzzing, like I’d just had a very long, very clever conversation with someone who kept interrupting me to ask, “Are you sure about that?” I live in the UK now, and maybe it’s the weather or the mood, but this film felt perfectly timed: sharp, chilly, and quietly furious beneath the wit.
What struck me immediately was how confident it is. Not loud-confidence. Not flashy. The k…
