A Sunday in Hell (1977)

Respect for the beauty in cycling

[8/10 · 7 April 2018]

The film is as brilliant display of complexity of one in the most important one day races

Angels in Fast Motion (2005)

I'm not that impressed

[5/10 · 18 October 2005]

The fact the Nordkraft takes place far away from Copenhagen, but deals with typical big city issues, makes it somewhat interesting. The problem is that it just doesn't tell my why we are i Aalborg. With the title "Nordkraft", the scene is set for something different from a standard junkie movie. But that is exactly what we get, a standard junkie movie, nothing more, nothing less. The characters are stereotypes and doesn't bring anything new to the table. I like the choice of music in the movie, it works so far as emphasizing the moods in the scenes.

The actors deliver convincing performances, but again the is problems. There is no consistency in the use of dialects, and some of the characters actually gain dialects during the movie.

Being a danish movie, there is lots a nudity. Not overdone and generally good to look at.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

I watch movies, no books on film!

And I was impressed. By far the best Potter movie up till now. Great story trustworthy characters and convincing special effects. I'll give the movie 7/10, it really caught my attention and watched in suspension.

And for the "I've read the books, and everything is missing in the movie"-critics! Bite me. This is a movie, not the book you read. If you want to read books, go to the library or bookstore, if you wan't to watch movies, go to the cinema. And don't mix-up the two concepts.

I hope the next Potter movies will follow-up to this one, and keep the immature content to a minimum.
