Jerry and Rachel are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move.

This movie features and couple of exellent action scenes and especially a car chase, simply… wow! Some times the movie slows down so much that you almost fall asleep metaphorically speaking. But overall an okay movie well worth a rental.

After hearing good things about “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, I decided to go see it. If you haven’t heard what this movie is about here is a quick recap.

‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,’ adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918 to the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be.

Starring is Brad Pitt and Cate Blachett in a superb film, great acting and a fantastic story makes this movie one of the greats. The way Brad Pitt makes Benjamin Button come to life is amazing. Cate Blachett’s part as Daisy is beautifully portrayed through out the film as you engage into this amazing but  unusual story. The length of the movie is 2 hours and 46 minutes and many might say that this is too long, but I can personally say that this is the perfect length for this movie. For my sake it could have been 20 minutes or even 30 minutes longer if not more. I got sucked into the story and felt the pain of the characters and the feelings between them. If you have about 3 hours to spare, I can recommend this movie.

After finishing watching Heroes season one for the second time I thought about making a mini review. When Heroes first aired July 22. 2006 it sky rocketed to the top of the viewer ratings list in the States and soon the rest of the world followed.

The first characters  the are introduced in the series is Peter Petrelli a private nurse taking care of dying patients. Soon he discovers that he is destined for something very different, and so are many others who are soon entangled in a complicated, but entertaining adventure of drama and supernatural abilities.

Throughout the series the drama gets more and more intense and at the end of each episode the is a gigantic cliff-hanger that makes you want to watch another episode. The characters in the series are interesting and all of them act really well all the way thought the series.

This season is worth getting on DVD or Blu-ray if you liked watching the series on TV. I can almost guarantee the you will watch it again and again.

“Chris Mattson and Lisa Mattson, a young interracial couple, have just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their interracial relationship. A stern, widowed-single father of two, LAPD officer Abel Turner is the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly harassing to the newlyweds. The persistent intrusions into the lives of Chris and Lisa ultimately take a turn for the worse when the couple decides to fight back.” - IMDb, 2008.

Lakeview Terrace is a good thriller about racial hate and downright bad neighbours. I can recommend this as a rental but I doubt that it will be worth the money to get for your collection unless you’re a hardcore Samuel L. Jackson fan.

Så er julen godt overstået og jeg sidder i sofaen og hygger mig. Desværre uden Sara da hun lige bliver et par dage ekstra hos hendes forældre. Jeg havde ikke regnet med det men jeg fik 250,- til en Blu-Ray film af svigerforældrene da er allerede brugt til følgende film.

• Casino Royale [BD]
• Sin City [BD]
• U-571 [BD]

Alle disse fik jeg for 270,- inkl. forsendelse, det kan altså godt betale sig at købe regionsfri film i pund.

Jeg har lige set Space Chimps. Jeg er meget skuffet over den, dårlig animation dårlig historie. Alt ialt en meget dårlig film. Hold jer fra den.

Så blev det tid til en lille hurtig rating. Min far og jeg så lige den nye Kiefer Sutherland film Mirrors igår. Den var ret fed og havde en god dyster stemning hele filmen igennem. Kan klart anbefale den til en stormfuld aften med spejle overalt.

Hej igen alle, så blev det tid til at købe lidt film igen. Julegaverne sat fuldstændig på standby finanskrisen har ramt. Jeg har ændret lidt på den måde jeg køber film på nu, nu sparer jeg rent faktisk op, utrolig som det nu end lyder.

Jeg har bestilt følgende:

The Dark Knight (Blu-Ray)

Wall-E (Blu-Ray)

Vi har lige hjemme hos René og Nana igår og der fik vi lige set en film sjovt nok. Denne handlede om en rumhund ved navn CJ7. Jeg vil ikke afsløre for meget men det er en rigtig sjov film som jeg klart vil kunne anbefale.

Så blev det til andet kapitel i Alan Quatermain sagaen, denne gang skal Quatermain finde den forsvundene by af guld. Hvis du er til Indiana Jones på lavt budget er dette lige en film for dig. Den har nogle sjove elementer og er faktisk 1½ times god underholdning hvis du er til ovenstående og 80′er film.
