true crime with a bit of dark humor
29 March 2024
This is a very good production. The actors are magnificent. Not sure if it was intended, but it is quite hard not to laugh at the settings where these old religious people fall for the act of the murderer. These victims are portrayed as not very bright and its hard not to see this as being a result of their religious minds. Its almost like the director is telling people to go out and trick elderly biblepeople. Timothy Spall who has the part of Peter the gay teacher does this part good. Considering he is straight he sends out this perfect creepy "gay gym teacher" vibe when doing this part. He is the best actor in this series. The dark humor fades the two first episodes, i wish they could have continued with that in all episodes.

Zorro (2024– )
7/10
watch this series in original language
4 March 2024
It was really fun seeing Zorro again. The production quality is very high. When seeing this in its original language its quite charming and warm. Renata Notni is just gorgeous and really makes me love this series a lot, The first episode i only had available in english and that was awful and fake, so do not watch the dubbed version for children. Stick to the spanish version, with subtitles if you dont habla espanol. Spanish productions have really gotten a lot better the last years and this one is a true gem. Now i just hope they will make more seasons of this. Entertainment from a periode where nothing was PC is what we need.

Not very good
28 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This was really poor work. Why not any questions towards the girls? Like why do you engage in conversations with strange people contacting you on social media? No interviewing the girls with any questions was just wrong. Not victimblaming, but seriously? The creepy voice in this series is just annoying and unwanted. Did not help the show at all. This became very boring unfortunatly. The highlight of the series was the joy of them sending this creepy stalker away for a long jail time, mentally disturbed people have a way of avoiding the justice system, but not here. Looks like they also needed over 100 people to make this? Why? That is a lot. Still production quality was very low, i did enjoy watching Zoe Jade Hallam as she is quite charming. Another topic that could have been said was that Abby Furness has had another stalker, a fan from her onlyfans account. Girls if you sell pictures of your privates on the internet you will attract some strange people.

The Mandalorian (2019– )

Bring back Gina Carano
7 February 2024
This series is without a doubt my favorite series from the Star Wars universe. Then again the first season was also the best one due to Gina Carano bringing some femme fatale to the show. Her charm and smile does help this series a lot. Otherwise this is a great production. The scenery, the production quality, its just all fantastic and done in the most professional manner. At the time time of this review Carl Weathers have just passed away. His contribution to this show has also been great. Now that he has passed on i sure hope they can bring back Gina Carano so the show might not feel empty in the next season.

Amazing series
6 February 2024
This series is absolutely perfect. Chemistry between actors is spot on. Acting, production quality, its just perfect. Brings back memories of "Trainspotting" And watching Michelle Keegan, one the most beautiful women in the world perform in this series gives you that little extra. She is the next Liz Hurley and just brilliant. Then again she does not fit in with the rest of results og inbreeding portait in the series village. A stunner like that would have moved away from the village and married a soccer player or ended up in a Paul Raymond magazine. I surely hope this series goes on for many years and that the writers continue their epic journey.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024– )

Mr & Mrs smith....from wish
4 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
In the start of the first episode they kill off Eiza González and Alexander Skarsgård portraying Jane & John Smith. The signal sent to us here is : Sorry this a series without hot people. Lets just kill them off and replace them with a very unnoticable couple. The acting performance by Maya Erskine and Donald Glover is mediocre at best and they have absolutely no chemistry.. If they had killed off Maya and Donald instead and continued with Alexander and Eiza this would have been a hit, but no lets make a series with poor lead characters. Who wants that? Sorry, but that is not what we want. Production quality outside of terrible lead characters is ok. This is a mess and hopefully they will not waste money on another season. The money i pay for my monthly subscripton is wasted here.

Expend4bles (2023)
1/10
Stallone killed Rambo with nr 5, now he killed expendables with this sh..
22 September 2023
"Expendables 4" has no ambitions to change the concept, other than that it corrects the unforgivable mistake from the previous film, where Sylvester Stallone & Co chose to tone down the violence in order to get the lower age limit PG-13 in the USA.

The new film restores the gritty tone of the first two, which is absolutely the right decision. What primarily bothers the foursome is that Stallone chooses to take on a smaller role than before, as well as that the script contains several howling improbabilities that just become too stupid, even within an already imaginative framework. The film could have been even better with very simple measures, but entertains well as big, stupid and hard-hitting carnage where nothing is meant to be taken seriously.

Must reveal mysterious villain

In this film, Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and his mercenaries are given a dangerous mission by CIA agent Marsh (Andy Garcia). They must go to Libya to prevent terrorist Suarto Rahmat (Iko Uwais) from obtaining nuclear bomb detonators on behalf of a mysterious client.

Ross brings veterans Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Gunner Jensen (Dolph Lundgren) and Toll Road (Randy Couture), as well as newcomers Easy Day (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) and Galan (Jacob Scipio) across the pond. During the mission, however, something happens that forces the Expendables team to be reinforced with CIA agent (and Christmas's girlfriend) Gina (Megan Fox), Decha (Tony Jaa) and Lash (Levy Tran).

They must travel even further into the world to reveal who is really behind it and stop sinister plans that could have serious consequences for the whole world.

Non-stop shooting, fighting and explosions

The story is as simple as possible and strictly speaking only serves as a loose framework for the film's many action scenes. In return, there are many of them.

Most of it mainly takes place in only two locations, namely a chemical factory in Libya and a cargo ship in the Sea of Japan, but it fills 1 hour and 45 minutes of non-stop shooting, fighting and explosions, where the enemy seemingly has unlimited number of men to sacrifice as cannon fodder. This is of course the film's foremost "quality", namely seeing old heroes knock down anonymous villains. The action scenes lack the finesse and inventiveness of the very best genre films, but you hardly expect anything more sophisticated than raw power and bad jokes from old favorites such as Stallone, Statham and Lundgren.

Among the new additions, I was most excited about Indonesian Iko Uwais, who starred in the two fabulous "The Raid" films. Unfortunately, he does not get time and space to show enough of his talent, while Thai Tony Jaa from the hard-hitting "The Protector" and "Ong-Bak" films luckily gets a little more room to play as Decha.

Jason Statham has the main role this time, while Sylvester Stallone disappointingly chooses to stay a bit in the background. Perhaps you just have to accept that the 77-year-old (!) has simply become too old to play an action hero.

The script, written by Kurt Wimmer, Tad Daggerhart and Max Adams, contains some eye-rolling elements that are so stupid they must have been written under the influence of something. Some of the main characters commit actions that are completely contrary to what they are meant to do, but I can't write what so as not to reveal too much. It pays to overthink the film. You really have to take the story with a big pinch of salt and just let yourself be entertained by the lively and ridiculous chaos that is created on the screen.

Director Scott Waugh ("Need for Speed", "6 Below", "Hidden Strike") has made a film that many critics want to saber down, nothing else is to be expected, but personally I'm still soft on gun-happy violent films that are neither out after promoting a message or commenting on a current topic.

"Expendables 4" satisfies the need for lead-heavy action with light content, nothing else. Sometimes that is enough.

Gangs of Oslo (2023– )

Amateur hour
10 September 2023
Not sure where to start about how horrible this series is. Here it seems like they have gathered random people without any acting experience and just mashed up this wannabe show. Acting here is as bad as it gets. There is no atmosphere in the series and everything feels very forced and unnatural. If they had only thought of getting a functioning director it could have played out better. Oslo does have a lot of gangsters as it is portrayed in this series, but i dont even think will like this one bit. Cinematography and music also fails in this series. Better camerawork could have been used to take some focus of the terrible acting.. After watching 2 episodes im gonna have to try and forget this disaster.

Well this was bad
13 July 2023
This is the worst transformers movie ever. There is absolutely no fun in this one. A few comments from mirage, but thats not enough. The movie has only B-actors. No babes? Who makes a transformers movie without a babe? Dominique Fishback should never have been cast for this, she did ok in that series with Samuel L. Jackson, but as a lead in Transformers she just ruins it. This movie is mostly about 2 people and the rest CGI. The cast is weak, the CGI is weak. Looks like a really low budget movie with actors you never wanna see again. I sure hope they put better actors and more actors in the next movie.

The Out-Laws (2023)
9/10
The comedy we needed
7 July 2023
Absolutely loved this one. Happy Madison has made another great comedy. All actors are perfect for their parts. Production quality is high. Jokes are great, and best of all it has zero wokeness. Imagine a movie in 2023 with no wokeness. The amount of violence is perfect and seeing Adam Devine get beaten is just hilarious. The getaway scenes are funny and hightly entertaining. I hope we get to a sequel to this one as i would like to see more of this. Its not all straight forward in this even if it might seem like that its got some surprises in it. Seeing Ellen Barkin and Pierce Brosnan togheter in this was a really good experience.

Amazing fun
23 November 2022
Great series about the good old days, when nightclubs played music, xtc was mandatory on the weekend and the news was full of immigrants criminals in our Norwegian capitol. And lets not forget when ringtones was annnoying. The actors do a great job and the production quality is high. The only thing i miss in this is women. There is few women in this. The highlight of this era was women using low cut jeans. Sexy women with low cut jeans would make this series even better. Cinematography is very good and very professional. Music also fantastic and brings back memories. Herman Flesvig and Danu Sunth are without a doubt doing the best performance in this.

Not great, but watchable
18 February 2022
This is a b-movie, but its one of the few i managed to complete.. The camerawork and special effects is what saves this one.. Acting skills not so much.. Abit better actors and this might have scored higher.

18 February 2022
Not that i managed to see the whole movie, but the 30 minutes i wasted was all about the shaky camera and bad acting. Special effects are lacking. Do not waste your time here.

Very enjoyable

Good fun to see americans making fun of their christian cult-culture. High quality production. It does get a little stupid at times, but thats just how religion also is... Pushing the characters are as far as possible is done with precision here.

Very enjoyable
20 January 2022
When you get passed the horrible intro this series is quite nice... It has beautiful women and good action. The audio could be better and the special effects arent awesome though. Watching this in 2022 with aspect ratio 4:3 was a bit challenging, but i got use to it. If you are fed up with todays woke entertainment you should give this a try.

Well this was awful. Lois behaving like a strict christian cult leader acting out on her boys for doing nothing wrong. I cant remember any other superman series being this weird.

Another fail from Bruce Willis
4 December 2021
Another pointless movie, with bad script, bad acting and shaky camera... Im starting to miss the B movies of the 90's. At least they mostly managed to hold the camera steady.

Worse than expected
12 November 2021
This movie has no heart like the first ones... You get no love for the kid and you dont get much joy when the unlucky couple gets punished. Production quality is high though.... Its just a movie that will be forgotten.
