Letterboxd — Your life in film

Tarantino's new film is a lot like The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. No, I'm serious; think about it. Both films are made by well-known directors who, by now, get insane amounts of money to do basically whatever they want and create films that, basically, everyone shows up to see on the day it comes out.

Tarantino's new film is, like The Hobbit, a deep down into a unique and different world, where a special sort of characters stay, characters that…

Joss Whedon does a great job crafting the first real COMIC BOOK MOVIE ever made. This has it all - brilliantly crafted fight and action scenes, hilarious dialogue and superb moments, aliens, Gods, science, magic; everyone get their chance to get beaten up, and to really, really shine.

It's a well-paced film; never boring, continuing the story AND character development from the previous films and it never, ever slows down. We move from set-piece to set-piece, and in-between Avengers, SHIELD…

25th film of The December Project

Some would say Drive is style over substance and I'd be inclined to agree with them. Others would say Drive is a masterpiece of modern filmmaking, cutting everything from characters to motivations to the story down to their bare necessities while crafting a story that goes underneath it all. I'd be inclined to agree with them too.

However way you put it, Drive is pretty unique. It's a simple enough story that you've seen…

First off I just want to say this; expect this rating to change. This is, by no means, a perfect movie. But is it a perfect Bond-film?

Let it be known that I am not a huge Bond-fan. I've seen all the Daniel Craig-movies (I love Casino Royale) and some of the previous ones - Die Another Day, Octopussy, Goldeneye, - but I've never been very interested in this franchise. However, I think this was the perfect film to release…

After a long wait, Looper is finally here. While I have been interested in seeing this one, I've also been a little wary of it, mostly because I didn't want to build up my expectations too high. I've read few reviews, read little about it and not watched the trailer obsessively. In shorter terms, I've learnt from the experience with my first viewing of "The Cabin in the Woods".

While I was a little disappointed in how straightforward this was,…

Affleck does a great job directing, fantastically combining the two tones, even if the Hollywood-parts are much, much more interesting than what happens in Iran.

The actors are all good, the screenplay does what it's supposed to do, but it never really lets us get to know these six "Canadians", instead spending time making them argue about whether they should do this or that when they, in reality or in the film, don't have any choice in the matter. This…

86th film of The December Project

"Unexpected" is the right word, for sure. I'm still shocked at how much I actually enjoyed Jackson's recent outing in Tolkien's fantastic world. I mean, I knew I'd like it, but holy hell was I surprised. For the first time in a long, long while, I went into the cinema, was excited and walked out... satisfied. No; more than satisfied. More than content. I was happy. I was beaming with joy. And now, a…
