I'm known in the football manager forums - less now than before - I grew tired of it - and frustrated with it - lots of arrogant people who think they know better - so I quit and kill my time by myself now. Now lets see if we can write some reviews that people can actually use - I will only write if I actually watch a show or a movie - if its a show it means its good becourse if it isn't I'm not watching it - movies I stop watching if they don't engage me or I feel they are poorly made - so lets see what I have to say.
Beware I'm brutally honest about you - if I feel you are a bully - everyone will know - If I think you are in the category of bad taste compared to my own and the general people - everyone will know who you are - I like fairness - I hate trolls and poorly judged reviews - you will only need one review - the one I write.
Cheers

American Murderer (2022)
»American Murderer - A True Story«
"American Murderer" is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the life of a notorious serial killer. Directed by Matthew Gentile , the film offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the mind of a murderer.
The cinematography is superb, with each scene capturing the intense and haunting atmosphere of the film. The music adds to the suspense and contributes to the overall tense feeling of the movie. The sound design is also noteworthy, with the use of subtle sounds to increase the tension in key scenes.
The acting is nothing short of excellent, with the lead actor delivering a standout performance as the murderer. Their portrayal of the killer is haunting and chilling, bringing the character to life in a way that is both believable and unnerving. The supporting cast is also strong, each delivering standout performances that add depth to the film.
What sets "American Murderer" apart from other films in the genre is its focus on the psychological aspect of the murderer's mind. The film explores the motivations and triggers that led to the killer's actions, and raises important questions about the nature of evil. The film takes a non-judgmental approach, instead allowing the audience to form their own opinions about the murderer.
The film also touches upon the criminal justice system, and raises questions about the reliability of eyewitness testimony and the limitations of the criminal profiling techniques used to catch serial killers. The film's exploration of these themes is thought-provoking and adds an extra layer of depth to the film.
Despite its heavy subject matter, the film is well-paced, with a tight screenplay that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The film is not for the faint of heart, as it deals with disturbing and graphic subject matter. However, it's important to note that the film handles these scenes with sensitivity, and never glorifies or sensationalizes the violence.
In conclusion, "American Murderer" is a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and true crime stories. The film is well-crafted and intense, with excellent cinematography, music, sound design, and acting. The film raises important questions about the nature of evil and the criminal justice system, and offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the mind of a murderer.
Don't believe the low ratings - Overall, I would give "American Murderer" 7 stars out of 10.
Cheers.

Poker Face (2022)
»Russell Crow - What a Great Natural Actor«
You know all these movies where you watch for 5 minutes and wish it was over - ready for the garbage can - this one isn't it - This one is a solid watch with the living Australian legend - I love how down to earth Russell Crowe is - the skills he possess as an actor - when I watch him I feel I watch someone who acts with their soul and not their bank account - He's special.
Poker Face is a simple drama about a group of friends with different problems - Russell Crowe the rich man in the movie invite his friends to his house for a game of poker that they'll never forget :)
I will not reveal anything else - the movie made me cry even though it could have been more detailed.
I highly recommend this one - I give it 6/10 Stars
Cheers.
Kampen om Narvik (2022)
»Norwegian - War Movie theme«
Ahh don't know if I should really write anything about this movie It doesn't deserve the attention to be honest - but then I'll practice my writing and see where it takes me :)
I saw the whole movie - I'm sure Norwegians have been running to the cinemas for this one - but in truth this is for Norwegians - not the rest of the world - I mean yes tough break World war 2 happened to you as well Norway - I think the movie was hollow boring and a huge waste of time which I proclaim to being an expert at that particular art - this was horrible to get through and I truly recommend you not to go relive my experience - the voice dubbing the acting was as good as amateur theatre you shouldn't expect more than that.
War stories have been told many times and someone felt that they needed to tell this one - should probably not have been told in this way though - the story its self is centered around a guy in the military and his wife and son - and its all tiring and insignificant - I'm sure the true story would be exciting to hear than a story about a family living through the same hell as everyone else in the world during WW2 - this is meant for Norwegians only - I believe they will eat it raw though the creativity is really cliche' and poor by the creator.
I give this movie 1 Star - that's for the scenery which is always beautiful in Norway - they have that and oil - lots of oil :)
Cheers.
Echo 3 (2022)
»This is a top notch show«
To begin with I will just say - I could have used a lot more episodes or even more seasons - this show kept me to the screen and I kept wanting more - I felt the same about Prison Break & Breaking Bad or the famous Lost & Homeland - this show was not dry and boring at any point - it was at the same level as those 4 former shows - seriously.
A Political thriller but much more than that - It was a serious production from start till finish - often dramatic - I wish it would have been even more violent and even disguisting at times cause this show could have carried that.
Truely its impossible to say a bad thing about this show it was really that good - the filming was like filming live with a handheld camera at times but it wasn't unpleasant - the actors were of suppreme quality great at drama acting - nothing was to much - I wish their will be more shows like this or even a season 2 - I also think they could include even more characters and work on their individual stories and make future seasons even more solid - I will finish this review by saying - I'm gonna watch a different drama the Australian Open another favourite of mine.
»Echo 3 - 9/10 Stars«
Enjoy.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Wheel of time - Great Show
Wheel of time shows a lot of promise in the first 3 episodes - be warned though the show is niche oriented towards the fairytale genre - if you played RPG pc games in your life you will probably want to have a look at this one - this tv show is a quality show which they spent $85m - some people will question where the money went others will just watch and forget and actually get an enjoyable experience with this lovely fairytale that it is. Yes actors could be more famous but they do a strong job in pulling off there roles - I could use some more exentric characters than those chosen - but they still do a good enough job - the show is still young and sometimes it takes a little extra time to develop the characters - I'd say give them a chance - it will be worth it I believe - I mean it took me forever to start watching game of thrones because it felt boring when I first started watching that one - then when I finally got around to it - I learned I had to watch each characters isolated from the whole story and see them as stories within the story - that helped me to be engaged and watch each episode with maximum passion. I don't feel there's been a lot of well made fairytale tv shows - legend of the seeker had a lot of potential untill they decided to cancel that one - I was so pissed and so was my X-wife - at least it wasn't me who got axed :) - game of thrones was an 8.5 in my opinion so a half star more than wheel of time - but that can still change but they are off to a good start - beautiful settings - scary creatures - CGI effects and if they follow this rule of thump 14 books 14 seasons we are going to get an epic adventure going forward. I don't care if the show is like the books - it means nothing to me - if I can enjoy the show and cross reference with Dungeons & dragons or RPG type pc games I will enjoy it for the niche that it is. The story telling is important so is the sound score and so is the fighting scenes one thing that legend of the seeker did really well in my opinion. Guys watch the show if you like fairytale environment and scary creatures - this will have that and it will be made to your satisfaction - the show its self will need some time to gel and if you give it that time - it will take off - Overall wheel of time is a quality show that has potential to grow in to a great show.
Lots of people reviewing this makes me think they should rather review themselves first perhaps with the same low number of stars as they have given this show - that would only be fair to us since your opinion was useless. Cheers.
