  UFO Sweden 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 27 Nov 2023

  "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."
  Yeah, I've enjoyed this one, but I've said this before, I'll eat anything X-Files-like which requires a tinfoil hat. But this is not your average flying saucer chase movie or whatever, it's surprisingly heartfelt.
  In layman's terms, a rebelious teenage girl get's thrown into a quest to look for her long lost father who she thinks is not dead, but abducted.
  To help her on her quest she enlists UFO Sweden,…

  Truth or Dare 2018

  ★★½ Rewatched 27 Nov 2023

  Rewatched, and the hypocrisy finale, which I didn't realise before, was a nice, yet cowardly, touch...Olivia blatantly screwing the world, sending millions to their death quite contradicts her previous "Truth" statement that she would let her friend group and herself be killed in order to save millions.

  Ronin 1998

  ★★★★ Rewatched 31 Aug 2021 2

  It's just so simple, assemble a crew, get a briefcase, tentions run high, can't trust this one, can't trust that one, bang, bang, car chase, boom!

  You gotta love it, I did, and I still do after all this time.
  Brilliant cast, I mean, you got Reno, De Niro, Jonathan Pryce, Natascha McElhone, Sean Bean and Stellan Skarsgard...what more do you want?

  It's straight to the point here. No fancy special effects or color corrections, just good choreography and stuntwork.
  I've said it back then, and I'll say it again, "Ronin" has the best car chases, period.

  The Northman 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched 23 Apr 2022

  A Vikingage tale of revenge seasoned like only Eggers could.
  Not a blatant copy of the story of old and not quite the same as Saxo Grammaticus's interpretation. "The Northman" weaves bits and pieces of history and legend together, with a royal portion of poetic edda, to make it's own fascinating, brutal yet beautiful interpretation.
  I was pleasantly surprised by Ethan Hawke, less so by Kidman's performance, but the towering Skarsgard and delightful Anya were, not to my surprise, terrific.…
