  • The Sting 1973

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 24 Mar, 2013

    I had to check if I still liked this movie. And yes, I did! The characters are great, especially Redfords’ Hooker. The story has so many surprise turns it makes your head spin. Which is quite an achievement for a movie that more than 40 years old. Sure, it’s a bit slow at times but it’s time that’s used to suck you into the story some more. The only downside: to many men! It’s a real guys movie. The two dames who are in it are erm… well, not pretty! There! Other than that an oldie but very goodie!

  • Anna Karenina 2012

    ★★★ Watched 23 Mar, 2013

    I love a good love drama. dr. zhivago or Gone with the Wind. Anna Karenina is also one of them, but this 2012 version is a bit off. It tries to be too much 'Moulin Rouge' in it's set changes. I love how they did it, it just doesn't fit a heart wrenching love story. It makes it all too light. Nightley is great though. If you watch 'A Dangerous Method' right after, you'd think she plays the same character.

  • An American Crime 2007

    ★★★★ Watched 06 Feb, 2012

    Based on a true story. Weird thing is: I was glad! No one should be coming up with this for a script. Tragic story that happened in 1965, Indiana. It sucks you in and you can feel the tension. Great performances all round but especially Keener and Page.

  • Into the Wild 2007

    ★½ Added

    I found it not very entertaining. This guy thinks he knows everything about life and believes he is right and everyone who thinks differently is wrong. Well, he died. Sorry, but I never had any connection with this boy. There are some nice views of the US, but not enough to keep me interested.
