The Wall is still rock solid
29 September 2015
It isn't sad to be a Pink Floyd enthusiast when a timeless musical piece such as The Wall comes around and magnetize new and older generations with is powerful story, graphics and of course - the music.

Not sure what to expect, Roger Waters The Wall is not a motion picture like Alan Parkers The Wall. It is a documentary of Roger Waters life integrated into The Wall's storyline. Most of the film is taken from a jaw-dropping big scale concert somewhere in Europe.

Roger does a god job as a protagonist and musician, balancing seemingly casual between personal life and the professional creative universe he created with The Wall.

If you like Pink Floyd - hit the wall

Counting Ansgars
4 March 2015
What a sorry piece of film this was. Adjusted for a small budget yes, but come on - the creative forces in production and acting were so weak. The story is lame and confusing and the acting sucks.

That Goes for everyone except Kim Bodnia. Sad to see such a good actor riding out his career by catching crappy gigs in low budget productions. The setting for this movie - 12th Century Norway, recently christened by the sword - presents lots of opportunities for a good movie on a small budget. Was this achieved? No. Were dialogues and acting at times awkward? Yes. Did you get fed up of Ansgar before even seeing him? Indeed

If, by curiosity you decide to watch this movie - they the Only way to enjoy the film is to turn it into a drinking game. Every time the name Ansgar is spoken - your Choice of liquid comes bottom up! Raise the stakes by shotting Absinthe every time the protagonist looks perplexed and stupid while uttering his brothers name.

Dynasti (2012)

Low budget on local gangsta - makes this one applicable to the dozen few
9 July 2013
A humorous attempt at telling a story about family, crime and loyalty in Stavanger, Norway.

Local movie that will amuse its audience as most can recognize someone they know. The superlow budget created leading actors from the local gym on a 2 day's notice.

It's all a good laugh and the director capitalizes on this by keeping in what should be bloopers. Or am I just getting it wrong and it's actually a real bad movie?

Anyways, I got pretty much what I expected and given that it made it to cinema, we should demand more. It was pretty poor. 5 out of 10.

Entertaining & Educative portrayal of Australias Hardest Criminals
27 October 2012
With the use of forensic experts, police accounts and witnesses, Tough Nuts delivers a broader understanding of brutal criminals.

Very entertaining by solid dramatization and beautifully presented and narrated by Tara Moss.

Australia certainly has its own breed of anti-social characters, whether it bee serial killers, gangsters or white collar criminals.

The recent Melbourne Gangland War gave real live showcase for scenarios that has captivated audiences for decades in movies like Scarface and The Godfather trilogy. I lived in New Zealand as the last and most intense years of the gangland war raged , and I just felt like it was Scarface in the shape of Big Brother everyday.

For all true crime lovers, this series combined with the Underbelly series is a must and gives us an portrayal of the hardest criminals in Australian recent history.

P.S I perceive and review this series as a documentary. However my sympathies goes out to all innocent victims of the characters portrayed in this show.
