Just finished watching Biohazard: Damnation, again a very nice animation based on the videogame Resident Evil. I gave it a 7 on IMDB, but I would have give it a 7.5 if that was possible.
Before Christmas dinner, which movie I should watch first - Taken 2 or The Bourne Legacy?
I drank yesterday. No alcohol today, playing Sokker anyway...
What´s this "fap" thing?

No. Doesn`t actually matter, because I am not a fan of Christmas. Just a day, when you eat our traditional food and bit more than usually.
finished watching cannibal holocaust... disgusting
Watched Hitchcock yesterday (actually today :D) and after that also Psycho (great movie!!!). Later on watched some videos from youtube about Anthony Perkins. Probably will watch Psycho II too some day, if I have more free time and nothing better to do. ;)
PS! The remake of Psycho (1998) sucks imo, according to trailer I saw. No wonder it was a box office failure.

cmon, 1998 psycho was really good.
I watched shitloads of Hitchcock last week. my favourites are north by nortwest and rope. still haven´t watched vertigo and notorious though, but I have them downloaded, so gonna check em out soon.
dunno why but I always kinda fell in love in main woman character in every hitchcock film. which rarely happens when I watch movies from last decades. maybe it is just me but women back then seem to be much more attractive and special compered to todays hollywood´s grill bitches.

Recently watched The Hobbit, brilliant film although i am not a fan of the artificial lighting/darking films are using these days, for me it was what ruined the later Harry Potter films.
Still, the return of old faces and introduction of new (particularly liked Radagast "The Brown"), was very welcoming for me.

Seen some movies recently. Thought I'd share my views on them.
Skyfall
- I'm not the biggest Bond fan in the world, but I do enjoy them and I guess I've seen most of them as well.
This is Daniel Craigs third one and the first two were miles apart. First one was great, the 2nd quite bad. Skyfall is much, much better. Maybe even better than the first, but it was a long time since I saw it so I can't really compare.
The story is good, though I can't help but feel that they've taken modern ideas and twists and used them, making it feel a bit cliché. But it's okay. Miss having a real Bond girl in it though. The acting is really good. Craig is as good as always as Bond and Dench is wonderful as M. The rest does a good job as well. Looking forward to seeing more of Fiennes and Whishaw as Mallory and Q.
Then we have Javier Bardem. What a lovely villain he is. He's brilliant as Silva and I like what they've done with him.
The action is great and the special effects is great, but I'm not sure if they've messed up the scenes inside cars. The view of the scenery behind the passangers does not look convincing. You can tell that they didn't really film it in a car. But is that just a bad job, or did they make it that way so as to connect with the old Bond movies.
Anyway, it wasn't that irritating.
A strong Bond movie well worth seeing.
Dredd
- When I was young I liked the Dredd movie with Stallone, but having grown up I can now appreciate just how bad it was.
Didn't think this one woul be much better, but it was.
It's not a great movie, but if you want action it's well worth seeing. Acting isn't great, but good enough for this movie. The story is solid as well.
Some scenes are very cool, especially the slow motion ones.
Want action? Give this one a go.
Frankenweenie
- One of my favourite movies is "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and on the DVD I have there's a short film called "Frankenweenie". I've seen it a couple of times and enjoy it. So now that Tim Burton made a movie based on it (he made the short film as well) I looked forward to it.
I just hoped it would like up to my expectations.
It did.
Frankenweenie is animated, but not for the young children. It's eerie and some scenes just creeped me it, but also made me laugh. It's all black and white as well, which might not be what kids want nowadays.
And I'm not sure parents want their young ones to see a movie about a kid whos dog gets run over by a car, dies and then brought back to life by the boy (in the same fashion as Frankenstein of course).
But for the older kids and teenagers this one should bring loads of laughs. I loved it!
The Hobbit
- Oh how I've been looking forward to this one. Read the book many, many years ago - before I read the Lord of the Rings even - and have read it several times since. Without a doubt one of my favourite books.
And I loved the movie version of Lotr, so my hopes was high ahead of this one.
Was is disappointed?
Not sure.
It's not easy to judge a movie that doesn't really end. I might need the entire story before I can really say if I liked this one or not.
But what I can say is that I liked the additions to the story (great the see the things Tolkien didn't mention in The Hobbit, but did in other books) and the things that was changed didn't bother me much.
I'm not overly fond of the comical stuff, but most of it works well in the movie.
The acting is solid. Freemans expressions suits the Bilbo Jackson has made in this movie, so he does what he can and it is enough. Nobody can compare to McKellen, but that's okay. Nobody is bad, but apart from McKellen, nobody is bad. It's okay.
A big movie that I really liked. Looking forward to the last two, as well as the DVD when we might enjoy loads of added scenes. The extended cuts of the Lotr movies were quite long after all.
The Impossible
- Stumbled across the trailer for this movie some time ago and felt that I had to see it.
It's about a family vacationing in Khao Lak when the tsunami hit in 2004. It's based on a true story, which of course makes it even more real.
I had expected an emotional movie which would make me cry, but it was even worse than that. I think I cried through most of the movie and there was so many emotional scenes that really touched me.
The parents is played by Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor and they are both really good in this one, but I have to say I was perhaps even more impressed by young Tom Holland who plays their eldest son. The two youngest actors are solid as well.
It's a movie well worth seeing. But bring tissues, because chances are you will shed some tears, no matter how "tough" you are.
