Män som hatar kvinnor (e. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)

Posted on Sep 2, 2009 in Movies A few weeks back I went to see the first part of the Millennium series, Män som hatar kvinnor, based on the book with the same name (strangely named The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo in the English translation instead of the obvious Men who hate women). The film is in fact the first two parts of an upcoming TV series for the Millennium trilogy spanning all three books over six episodes, two for...

Yes I say masterpiece because this film transcends his previous work in terms of dialogue and extra-realism in characterisation.

When I went it had even been moved to the smallest viewing screen. Maybe people just aren’t interested in old school gangster movies any more, which Public Enemies without...

Transformers 2

Posted on Jul 1, 2009 in Movies I went to see Transformers 2 last Sunday in the BFI IMAX (the biggest screen in Brittain). The movie takes place two years after the first one and Sam, the main character is going a way to college when he is once more dragged into the never ending war between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

Terminator Salvation

Posted on Jun 13, 2009 in Movies I saw Terminator Salvation last weekend. The fourth Terminator movie takes place in the year 2018. Each of the previous Terminator movies has changed the future in different ways, each one creates a new timeline and it comes most apparent in this one. The original Judgement Day in T1 was in 1997 but following the changes to the timeline in T2 and T3 Judgement Day happened in 2004 resulting in the...
