Fatal Crossing (2023– )
9/10
Thank you for this gem of a Nordic Crime
7 January 2024
When my wife encouraged me to see this one, I resisted, mainly because I hadn't really heard about it, and I certainly thought I didn't have the time. But as she persisted I gave it a try, and got quickly hooked. Within the afternoon I catched up with her, and we watched the remaining 4 episodes together in the evening. I mention this because I have always loved to watch TV with others rather than alone, and in this one it's good to have someone to discuss details with. I don't think I've ever digested a show this fast, I don't binge watch often. This is like a good book. A real pageturner. I felt it was so refreshing with a "new" cast of actors, of whom I only knew a few. I think it made the mystery even more unpredictable. When other claims it's too slow, I disagree. It doesn't have to fast paced and packed to the max with sound efffects and loud music to be thrilling. Yes, certain editors would maby have cut it shorter, but I personally loved every second. Thank You for this. Good work. More please.

The Wild Life (2016)
8/10
What a pleasant movie for both kids and adults
29 June 2016
I almost missed this movie - that my daughter at 8 and her coisin at 10 wanted to see - after reading the harsh comments here on IMDb. 5/10? come on!... But I decided to give it a go. And what a pleasant surprise it was. The animations are superb, I missed nothing here compared to Pixar and Dreamworks. And the story and screenplay was above average too. I could name dozens of high profiled animation movies with worse stories. I was entertained all the way, and had to stop myself from breaking out in applause at the end. There's something this studio does in its own way, which is not typical the big studios, and thats refreshing. Looking forward to their next piece. Im giving it a solid 8 out 10, and will definitely recommend this film to everyone. A very fine piece of art. Thank you.

Okay funny - but nothing more
7 October 2006
When I rented this movie, I thought "7.3 for a comedy? - Wow, this film must be great, let me invite some friends over, and we'll have a great laugh!" And I admit - I laughed (as the only one), quite a lot, actually. This movie IS funny... but in my opinion it's still not more than a 6. I'm chocked to see how many thousands of people who thinks this is a masterpiece! I don't think it's very well directed, the cutting is often confusing, and the scripting screams that it has been rewritten a lot during filming. This is not a movie I'm gonna see again, and definitely never buy. As a funny movie it's okay if you don't have anything else to do, but if you miss this one - you don't miss anything.
