Aliens of the Deep (2005)

Challenging and important documentary

[10/10 · 18 January 2007]

This was excellent. James Cameron all the way again. It's a shame that I never got to see it on IMAX. This film is important for the future project of the space program subject on NASA as well. James Cameron is one of the planet's most important creators and directors of all time without no doubt. The film was beautiful, excellent and great to follow. There is so little we know about ourselves and our planet. Only in 3.500 meter under the ocean it seems to another world has opened the door for us to discover the truth about humans and the start of everything. This 3D technology helps Cameron and his team to go forward and create an entire new world on film in the upcoming Avatar (2009) and Battle Angel after that.

Jalla! Jalla! (2000)

One of the worst in Sweden

[1/10 · 2 February 2003]

The script is very weak & there is no depth in the characters. The story telling is not the importing thing here. The unnecessary action & Scenes does not really help this one. One of the worst movies in Sweden´s history of films.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998 Video Game)

One of the best i game history!

[2 February 2003]

The best Zelda game of theme all. I was very pleased to see this when a friend was playing. I saw it from the beginning to the very end. The sound is just magnific & animation terrific. Simply one of the best of Nintendo all time.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

Eye candy in every way

[10/10 · 11 May 2001]

The Silence Of The Lambs was not the only masterpiece of 1991! There was also another movie called Terminator 2. Direct sequel to 1984´s hit movie The Terminator. 7 years after the original, film technology was not the same. The director used the latest FX in film industry to show his vision. And it was surly great. Breathtaking effects & action scenes who updated the genre to the much higher levels. The movie gives you the two coolest robots in movie history (along side with Bishop in Aliens). Also the second strongest action female star (after Ripley in Aliens) of all time. Everything from technical, directing, casting, music, atmosphere to the screenplay is great. This is the second time that James Cameron doing a sequel that is actually better than the original (he made also Aliens). I hope that True Lies 2(2002) is going to be even funnier & better than the original. You have to learn from history that you can trust James Cameron. He is one of my greatest inspirations. I have seen all his movies several times (not the first one: Pirhana II from 1981). I could not find it on IMDB witch is bizarre. Here is the magical career of James Cameron in short: sensational hit low budget movie of 1984: The Terminator. The dynamic & adrenalin kick movie of 1986: Aliens. The very special one of 1989 & the godfather of CGI movies: The Abyss. The unbelievable eye candy of 1991 & another CGI godfather: Terminator 2. The gigantic action-comedy of 1994: True Lies.

And the most brilliant epic magic movie making of all time who was the unsinkable movie of 1997-1998 in Cinemas: Titanic. What a career!! T 2 is the reason that Steven Spielberg left go-motion for CGI in Jurassic Park (1993). T 2 is also the reason that George Lucas decided to do Episode I (1999) because now the technology was right for his vision. Forget Terminator 3 without James Cameron. T 2 IS the one you should remember. Four time Oscar winning Terminator 2 IS simply THE greatest, smartest, coolest & most brilliant action movie in the universe!!!! (10/10).

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

The most brilliant Thriller of all time

[10/10 · 11 May 2001]

I watched this movie several times and each time I got or heard something new that I missed before. The movie is full of psychological aspects. The script is so good that you really can feel when the two main characters having dialogs. Of course, we are talking about two of the finest actors in the world. Jodie Foster in her life´s role, deserved her Oscar. Anthony Hopkins in his second best role ever actually after his performance in The Remains Of The Day (1993). He truly deserved his Oscar as the best actor of 1991.

Lets not forgetting the best director of 1991: Jonothan Demm. His vision did this to the most brilliant Thriller of all time. This is officially & unofficially the best picture of 1991. Hannibal is a good sequel and another master show from Hopkins, but psychologically Lambs is a masterpiece you can not beat.

Resident Evil (1996 Video Game)

One of the best games in history

[10/10 · 10 May 2001]

Resident Evil is one of the best games of all time. Original, sensational, bloody, scary & realistic when it came back in 1996. First 5-10 min i was thinking, what the hell is this? But when i came to the first zombie I get lost in a horror world. I just loved the game. The atmosphere, character´s, monster´s, gun´s & creepy music make this one of the most original games ever. I have never seen such a good story in a game before, it was the most important thing in this game i think. About Resident Evil 2 I must say that I was even more surprised.... So Resident Evil IS a masterpiece (10/10) and basic to every horror game or movie based on a game made after 1996. I hope that Capcom present Resident Evil 4 on Playstation 2 as a killer game, just like RE 1, 2 & 3.

Cape Fear (1991)

One of the best Thriller´s i heve ever seen.

[10/10 · 10 May 2001]

This is the director´s best picture in his career. Also Robert De Nirò´s finest work in his career. But it was not only Marty & Bobby. We have the best work from juliette Lewis, Jessica Lang & Nick Nolte. The Score is extraordinary like the atmosphere in the film. I went to cinema to see De Niro and i found all this. It was great to see the movie first time. I think De Niro´s best work in movies (only his performance) are: 1. Cape Fear 2. The untouchables 3. The Godfather II 4. Taxi Driver 5. Godfellas 6. Casino Cape Fear is simply a masterpiece in any ways.

Tomb Raider II (1997 Video Game)

One of Sony´s best

[25 April 2001]

Tomb Raider 2 is one of Sony´s best games ever. Very good sequel to nr 1. Lara´s movement looks good. But this is more difficult than nr 1.

I think Tomb Raider 1 & 2 is the best in the series, nr 5 is the worst. It has absolutely nothing to give that we already have not seen. I hope that they do something new with Lara & Tomb Raider for Play Station 2. I can´t wait to see the movie with sugar babe Angelina Jolie. She is perfect for the role and i hope that they use elements from the game. So we can feel that we watch a Tomb Raider movie. Tomb Raider 1 & 2 along side with Resident Evil series & final Fantasy series are the best of Sony and game history.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

Masterpiece in several ways

[10/10 · 24 April 2001]

This is another Coppola masterpiece and like The Godfather it has great story, direction & actors. Beautiful & scary atmosphere. Gary Oldman´s best work ever & he really should have been Oscarnominated for this. Anthony Hopkins great as always. The score is truly one of the best of all time & it should have got a nomination as well. The film won Oscars for Make-up, sound effects editing and costume. It has masterful Art Direction who should´ve won as well. I´ve seen Francis Ford Coppola´s Bram Stoker´s Dracula more than 20 times and even analyzed it. So if you ask me about this film, i would say: Coppola, Gary Oldman, Score, Anthony Hopkins, atmosphere, lucy, make-up, sound effects, art direction, editing. 9 years on and it still working as the best erotic-horror movie ever, directed by the biggest director of 70´s & one of the most brilliant of all time.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

Not a masterpiece like nr 1. But still a very good movie

[8/10 · 19 April 2001]

The story of Lost World was not as interesting as Jurassic Park. But this is one of the best popcorn movies i have ever seen. This is more action/adventure less story. Ok! The story is most important in movies but this is directed by worlds most brilliant director and it´s a adventure with style. The special effects is even better & darker than JP. The Lost World should have been Oscarnominated also for sound effects editing. And if it was not for Titanic, TLW had the best FX of 1997. The original score from John Williams is fantastic. It´s an adrenalin kick to hear. The biggest minus in the film was the last scenes in the city with T-rex. It did´t helped the story at all and everything went so fast. I hope that the story of JP3 is more like nr1 than nr2. Because i know that they going to have the latest CGI effects in it. If only we can see a good story along side with all this technical wonder, then we have a fantastic movie to wait for. Go Steven Spielberg! I trust you even only as a producer.

Jurassic Park (1993)

Steven Spielberg´s best movie yet is a technical masterpiece

[10/10 · 19 April 2001]

Interesting story, breathtaking special effects, great sound & sound effects, believable actors, super brain director, very good score from John Williams, atmosphere, locations and all this did something special for me. They gave me a ride in the dark theater i will never forget. The score should have been Oscarnominated but John Williams got one the same year for schindlers List. This was maybe the first time, one director release two films in the same year and both of them getting oscarnominations and even win. Schindler´s List & Jurassic Park got 10 Oscars in 1994. Spielberg did the same thing in 1997. To release two big films in the same year: Amistad & The Lost World. And this year the same thing: A.I & Jurassic Park 3(only producer). Steven Spielberg IS THE BEST DIRECTOR of all time, and there is no doubt about that. He is one of my biggest inspirations to know that: dream works. Dream and fight for your dream, then it´s a matter of time before you can get it. The greatest story teller of them all and Jurassic Park is his best art work yet. Raptors, T-rex´s, guns, haunting, car crashes & a cool story. Go Steven Spielberg..... You are THE BEST!!!

Aliens (1986)

The greatest Sci-fi in movie history

[10/10 · 17 April 2001]

Aliens is James Cameron´s best picture in his career. Also Sigourney Weaver´s best in her career and everybody else´s, behind & in front of the camera.I am talking about the greatest adrenalin kick of them all. This is a Sci-fi movie with a master director and very good actors. The screenplay is fantastic and has most of elements from Alien. It means you can think back and remember the same atmosphere & places, witch is good and important for a sequel. But it still is original in a special way. Alien is a good movie, but now after more than 20 years if i watching it, i´m going to sleep in the middle of the film. But if i watch Aliens, i even can´t sleep. Not because of the horor but because of the adrenalin kick. I have seen Aliens more than 25 times & even analyzed it. It´s great to find new things every time. The score from James Horner is a ear candy & one of the best of all time. In Aliens you can find the greatest action female character in movie history. You can also find the coolest supporting actor in Bill Paxton. So i rank this as Cameron´s best art work before T2 & Titanic. I was so sad to see Alien3 & 4 because they are far from good. They have already ruined the castle who Scott & Cameron build up. Please do not make Alien5 to ruins it more. I want to say to all of you who thinking that Alien movies are silly: you don´t even need to see all parts, just see THE best part witch is called Aliens (1986)! I would like to thank & celebrate James Cameron because he is such a creative Writer/Director/Producer, and a great inspiration for me and many other people in the world. I just can´t wait until his next film. Life is like a universe of Sci-fi movies, you always know that the crown of it is a masterpiece called: ALIENS (1986)

The Matrix (1999)

Good, but not a masterpiece

[16 April 2001]

Matrix is a good film but not a masterpiece. I really want to see nr 2 & 3. But do not hype over The Matrix. For you who thinks that this is the best Sci-fi ever: well, Matrix is far away from best Sci-fi ever. Have you forgotten Star Wars saga? Or Terminator 1 & 2? Or simply THE best Sci-fi movie ever: ALIENS (1986). So show some respect for masters like Cameron and Lucas, will you?

Titanic (1997)

Epic magic movie making

[10/10 · 16 April 2001]

James Cameron IS one of worlds greatest directors. Even before Titanic he was. But this is magic movie making of him as usual. Everything from directing, acting, score, technical wonder to the story. Everything is great thanks to Cameron´s vision. James Horner is another master. I can still hear his master work from Aliens in my ears. This is the best epic i have ever seen and it´s one of Cameron´s best pictures. But all his films are great. Really.

Marked for Death (1990)

Seagals best film yet

[16 April 2001]

When you talking about Steven Seagal you talking about a guy who bring the most modern martial arts (aikido) on to the silver screen. You expect special aikido scenes & good action. Seagal is the reason that i started to take aikido lessons long time ago. Aikido is like a dance. It gives you self confidence and its 100 per cent self defense. It is very soft but it could be dynamic too (watch Steven in action). So Marked for death is simply his best film yet and it is including some of his best aikido scenes in his career. I really miss him but i hope that he coming back to us with aikido scenes like marked for death, out for justice & Nico. Steven Seagal is one of my five favorite action stars along side with Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Arnie & Sly. Go Steven...

Enter the Dragon (1973)

Best martial arts of all time

[10/10 · 16 April 2001]

Do i need to say that this is simply the best martial arts movie of all time? No i don´t. This is a special one in other ways too. Bruce Lee was and still IS the greatest martial artist of all time. The fightscen in the basement is the greatest in movie history. The first collaboration between USA - Hong Kong. Good director and one of the best original scores i have ever heard in movies. Master Lee is one of my five biggest inspirations along side with Jackie Chan, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron & Robert De Niro. The Way Of The Dragon IS a masterpiece but Enter The Dragon is his best.

Forrest Gump (1994)

The worlds greatest Drama

[10/10 · 15 April 2001]

This IS the worlds greatest Drama. It has everything a Drama should have. Great cast & crew: Tom Hanks in his greatest role in his career. Gary sinise also in his lifes role. best directed picture. He has done good films before Forrest Gump, but this one is special. I love the producers of Gump because they dared to do it. The screenwriter as well. The technical part of the movie is fantastic. Sound, sound effects editing, cinematography, editing and last but not least visual effects. The original score is realy touching. And we have a masterful story to see. So this masterpiece is worlds greatest Drama and the best Drama i have ever seen.

Wheels on Meals (1984)

The greatest Jackie Chan movie of all time

[10/10 · 15 April 2001]

Jackie Chan: worlds greatest action star of all time. And this is his best work ever. Stunt action, comedy and fight scenes is great. Jackie vs. Benny is the coolest martial arts scen in movie history. Jackie should work with Sammo & CO more often in front of the camera. Go Jackie go Jackie......(his biggest fan).

Tomb Raider (1996 Video Game)

One of the most original games ever.

[8/10 · 12 April 2001]

One of sony`s best games ever. The character Lara Croft, music & atmosphere in this game is fantastic. The enemies are cool to kill. Diving, climbing, running & shooting, it`s fun in this game. Tomb Raider is so good that Hollywood decided to do a 80m dollars movie out of it, with sugar babe Angelina Jolie. COOOOL.

There's Something About Mary (1998)

The worst movie of 1998

[1/10 · 12 April 2001]

This is one of the worst movies i`ve ever seen. One or two scenes was funny but the whole movie stink. The filmmakers behind this should try something else. Please dont do a sequel.
