Free Fall (1999 TV Movie)
8/10
Perfect for jet airliner thriller freaks
17 September 2001
I´m a great fan of films where planes are in trouble. I used to be afraid of flying, but by seeing movies like this my knowledge of how planes work has increased and now I really enjoy flying myself. Does this sound strange? Maybe, but knowledge always helps! This film differs from all other films I´ve seen in this genre. A surviving husband of a killed jet airliner pilot (who got the blame for the crash)becomes obsessed and gets his revenge by making other planes crash in the same way as his wife´s plane. A female investigator becomes his main target and she soon realizes that a terrorist is threatening an airline company and all their planes. But the boss wants to fly on and earn more money. And soon another plane crashes. Good tempo, good crash scenes and quite thrilling all the time. I give it 8/10.

Homicide: The Movie (2000 TV Movie)
9/10
Homicide - "Hall of fame"
22 April 2001
My favourite police series of all time turns to a TV-film. Does it work? Yes. Gee runs for mayor and gets shot. The Homicide "hall of fame" turns up. Pembleton and nearly all of the cops who ever played in this series. A lot of flashbacks helps you who hasn´t seen the TV-series but it amuses the fans too. The last five minutes solves another murder and at the very end even two of the dead cops turn up. And a short appearance from my favourite coroner Juliana Cox. This is a good film.

The film shows the dark sides of a parish
11 December 2000
A Danish teacher moves to a small island in Norway. The island has a dark secret, two schoolgirls who were said to have committed suicide. When a third girl nearly dies of the same reason, the teacher ¨becomes suspicious... Beautiful surroundings in a rather dull film, but an interesting theme with an insane priest in a small parish. Exorcism and fear of sexuality and changes. I liked the film.

Billy Elliot (2000)
10/10
almost a tenner
29 November 2000
This is a fantastic film. In Sweden it opens in late December, but I had the opportunity to watch a sneak preview last week. Billy is eleven and practising boxing in his home town in northern England. In the same house a group of girls practise ballet. Billy gets interested of ballet and changes practice, not without complications and reactions from his family.

All the actors are superb, not the least Billy himself (Jimmy Bell) My only remark is that I think the film is too short. 30 more minutes where we meet Billy aged 13-25 wouldn´t be wrong. A near tenner.

Clockwise (1986)
10/10
A film for dutiful Englishmen and Swedes
29 November 2000
I read comment from John Cleese where he said that the only countries where this film was successful were Sweden and England. Countries with many dutiful people and where the time is very important. 15 minutes late arrival to a meeting is a catastrophe in Sweden. If you are late to a movie you will be sure to here some annoying comments. This film is about a headmaster who is a "timefreak". On his way to a important meeting in Norwich, he takes the wrong train and the catastrophe is a fact. Or...? Very funny, one of my favourite comedies of all time.

Halloween - definitely not a trilogy - avoid part 3
29 November 2000
I saw this film yesterday. I have seen all the other sequels. But what is this? A film totally different from the others. The story completely different and made in one minute it seems. Nothing scary, nothing haunting in this film at all, except for the strange final scene. Michael Myers, come back!
