My Thoughts:
Well, that was fun! A bit different actionflick than i expected it to be. Interesting plot wich they made the most of. Great moments trough out. And again Ridley Scott managed to bring on some really big names, wich worked very well together. And it was nice to see some of the actors\actresses play some different characters then we are used to see them play. Its a bit running time on the extended version, but you dont even notice the 2hr++ running time.

Title: Trolljegeren
Year: 2010
Director: André Øvredal
Rating: 11 år
Length: 99 Min.

Hans Morten Hansen

Plot:
TROLLJEGEREN var årets store sensasjon på kino i 2010. I tillegg til å bli en av de best besøkte på norske kinoer ble den også norsk films største eksportsuksess gjennom tidene.

TROLLJEGEREN var opprinnelig lansert som en grensesprengende dokumentar, men ble raskt avslørt som en bred publikumsfilm som både er morsom og spennende - med visuelle effekter i verdensklasse!

I korte trekk handler TROLLJEGEREN om tre studenter ved medielinjen i Volda som får skoleoppgave å lage dokumentarfilm om en lokal personlighet. De velger å fokusere på en folkesky mann som de tror er krypskytter. Men etter hvert som han åpner seg for ungdommene avdekkes sider ved det norske samfunnet som får senere tiders medialekkasjer til å blekne. Her dreier det seg om myndighetenes bevisste handling for å føre det norske folk bak lyset gjennom mange generasjoner...

My Thoughts:
Wll, this will be a difficult one for me to rate. Its clearly a silly child movie with a story about a trollhunter in norway.And its a lost and found footage too, to make it seem more real. And we get some silly moments here and there. But we actually get some pretty cool moments aswell. Not the best movie i've seen in the Adventure genre. But the movie get a plus from me, since most of the movie is filmed only 1 hour outside the city where i am from and live. I'm actually not sure if i would recommand it or not.

Great movie. I watched it first when it came out in 2006 on DVD. And havent seen it since. So i decided to check it out again and this time on bluray. And they did a great transfer IMHO. Its a norwegian horror movie about some young kids going on a skiing vacation. And ofc while on the vacation stuff happens. And there are some really good moments trough out. Some really good scare moments too. If you like a good horror movie. You should check it out if you havent allready.

This is one I wasn't sure what I would think of going by the trailer. I found a copy used cheap so figured I would give it a chance. Turned out I enjoyed it more then I thought I would. Definitely had it's funny moments. Usually Robert Downey, Jr. is hit and miss for me... but here lately he has been more hit then miss. And I seem to always enjoy Zach Galifanakis. This film is worth the time put in to watch it.

Another good movie in the series. The movie starts off a bit after the first movie ended. And we are in a hospital this time. Where we follow one of the surivors. And ofc in a horror flick and hospitals, bad things happens. For me this is maby the best Norwegian\Scandinavian horror frenchise made. If you enjoy a good horror flick you should check this series out.

This movie is just plan fun for me. It is a really good "Turn your brain off... Popcorn Movie"... it has a nice amount of laughs. I enjoyed the performances of both Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in this movie. I especially enjoyed Will Smith firing off that little gun of his... the "Noisy Cricket". If you just want some mindless entertainment for about an hour and a half... this one I will recommend.

I jut recently upgraded to the blu-ray/dvd combo pack. I haven't had the chance to check out the extras yet... but looks like a great set. The movie looked and sound great.

My Thoughts:

This is a pretty cute animated movie... though I have seen better. The film went in an obvious direction and I had a hard time caring about the characters. But in spite of all of that... It is definitely worth the time put in to watch it. The story takes place on Halloween so I can see myself watching this one for my October marathon each year.

It is not often I give a film a perfect 5 star rating... but I feel this one deserves it. It is just  truly amazing! Even more so considering it is based on a true story. I was drawn in from the very beginning... and it kept my complete attention till the very end. A real feel good movie. One I couldn't recommend high enough. An excellent story that is wonderfully done. It is one of those films where the moment I finish it I feel like I could watch that one again! If that is not a sign of a great movie I don't know what is.

My Thoughts:

I watched this one for the first time the other day. I found it to be a fun film... it definitely kept my interest through-out. I may get a little slack on this one... but I did not care much for David Bowie in this film. He just seemed so wooden and forced. Maybe they were going for something like that for the character but in my personal opinion it took away from the film some. At least it did for me. Othert then that it is a good movie and worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:

What a great start to an amazing story. The storyline draws you in so much that you are glued to the set. So much so that you don't even realize you been sitting there for three hours watching a movie. And even after a full three hours you are left wanting more. This story really does take you on a great adventure. And that isn't even touching on the gorgeous visuals this film has to offer. An epic story... a must see film!

Plot:
Peter Verås er gravende journalist i Norges største avis. En dag blir han kontaktet av en anonym kilde, som gir ham knusende informasjon om hans egen bror, direktør i et av Norges største selskaper. Peter velger likevel å ha avisen gå ut med saken. Avsløringene får store konsekvenser for broren, og Peter føler enorm skyld. Han starter jakten på den anonyme kilden og får snart svært overraskende opplysninger av Økokrim-etterforskeren Vibeke. Det uvikler seg til en krevende og farlig jakt med tråder til både kirke, politikk og media.

Mammon er en hardtslående konspirasjonsthriller fra journalist- og finansmiljø, produsert av NRK Drama.

Ah, finally i got a chance to check it out. It is a' amazing Norwegian tv-show. A suspence\thriller show. The story is also really interesting, and you have to keep attention because stuff happens and there are alot of turns that you didnt see coming. Great tv-show! Looking forward to season 2!

My Thoughts:
That was a different kind of movie. But what a great movie it was! I great mix between Sci-Fi and thriller. Fun story that get you glued to the screen for the 1.5 hours. And it is always to see Morgan Freeman. Mr. Freeman never does a bad movie. And Scarlett Johansson did a great part too. All in all, check it out! Worth the money.
