Secondhand Lions (2003)
A feel good story
I almost missed this movie because of the bad title chosen in Swedish. I'm happy that I did not. This is a movie one to have on DVD for a cold, rainy day when everything is just so bad.
Haley Joel Osment is - as always - a good actor. Let's just hope that he can keep his qualities when growing up.
However quality in this movie is not only about HJO. It's good acting all over, but most important it's a real good story. A classic tale, just as real as you decide it to be. There are no hidden messages, no lessons given, no important facts to remember. It's only high class entertainment.
Skenbart: En film om tåg (2003)
Congratulations to all non-Swedes
Outside Sweden you are not expected have seen this movie. Happy you. The cast includes several actors that are important part of modern the Swedish movie history. And still..
Seems like Peter Dalle only had a an idea lasting for about 20 minutes. Robert Gustafson is totally misused in this movie, trying to copy a younger Gösta Ekman. Ekman, by the way, is the only actor fulfilling the expectations.
Credit that can be given is for the photo, splendid idea using black and white. Music is OK.
But over-all it's a waste of god actors and the time of the audience.
Dark Angel (2000)
Really Something Else
There a lot of copies of what other have done that are shown all the time. It's really great with something different. It's amazing that someone created Dark Angel before 9/11. Makes you wonder what USA will look like after the war against terror.
