Avatar (2009)
7/10
Avatar is fantastic!
2 January 2010
Simply put, Avatar is an epic. For it's 2 & a half hour run time, I sat mesmerized, until my eyes watered and I realized I wasn't blinking. By the time it was over, I had a headache as a result of over stimulation. Now I feel like I need to wind down and watch something like Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero to feel normal again.

Avatar is a spectacle film, with a lot of action and visuals. The story is simple and the anti-war message is very obvious. But in the long run, you get a compelling movie out of it that gains momentum all the way into its final act.

James Cameron always manages to get his actors to seem natural. You believe the characters, because the dialogue is not overwritten. My favorite is Stephen Lang who plays a Colonel who's hellbent on pillaging the alien world. He ranks up with one of the greatest villains I've seen in recent times.

This was the first major 3D movie I saw. It didn't use any gimmicks. Usually, you would expect objects to fly straight into your face, but instead it used the 3D as a depth of field to see into the screen and immerse yourself in the environment. I felt like I was there.

History has repeated itself. In the 1950's, 3D and lavish color widescreen "Cinemascope" epics enticed people away from their Televisions, to get off their asses and come back to the theater. Today, the convenience of Netflix, downloading movies, DVR, and movies coming out on DVD/Blu-Ray within a few months of their theatrical release, for little over the same cost, loaded with extras, it makes you wonder why go to the theater at all. But the answer is here. Avatar made me glad to leave my house and saved the movie-going experience.

Max Payne (2008)
5/10
Skip the bad reviews and go see it
5 June 2009
Warning: Spoilers
All the bad reviews comes from angry gamers, who complain about everything.

I had Max Payne 1 on the Ps2 and i kinda liked it, didn't play it so often but it was an OK game. But i'm not here to review the game, i'm just going to write something short about the movie.

It have some great visuals, very good action scenes and it feels like those "old b detective movies" kinda like Sin City. The only problem is that it gets kinda boring and it has one of the worst dialogs ever, even though there's some great ones as well. Also the plot is kinda mixed and i didn't like the drug part.

When i went to the cinema i had an open mind and for that, i enjoyed this movie.

If you haven't played the game: 5/10. If you have played the game: 2/10.

Thanks for reading through :P

Not to bad !A Koettbullen Review!
9 May 2009
Saw this film with my friend when it came on DVD and i liked it, i cared about the characters and the movie kept me interested till the end. The acting was not the best, but still not that bad as every reviewer says.

If your looking for a movie like The Dark Knight, your at the wrong place. But if you are searching for a entertaining thriller, meet "While She was out"

Still, everyone have different tastes on movies, and you shouldn't listen to any reviewers, not even me. Go and rent the movie (or download it :S) and see for yourself.

I love B movies.. But this one..
7 March 2009
I love all kind of B movies, everything from a B-Zombie film to a B-Horror film. But this one.... It was so bad, i just want my money back. The acting was bad, and not like OK bad, it was like watching some elementary kids giving out the lines. The the "plot" was very predictable and well.. just bad. I wont spoil anything but the whole movie is filmed in a studio, behind a big, fat blue screen. The opening sceen is showing some young adults driving around in the nowhere. But guess what, it's filmed in blue screen. They just had to use the Bluescreen to every scene in the whole movie.

After seeing this i just wanna punch myself in the face for renting it, but i had some good laugh (due the bad acting) and because of that i rate it 2/10. And i apologize for bad spelling.

The Feast (2005)
4/10
B movie, but still entertainment..
28 February 2009
In a remote bar, customers are advised by a newcomer to seal the place since hungry monsters will attack them in a couple of minutes. Due to the events that happen immediately after this warning, the clients organize a strategy to defend the place under siege of deadly monsters.

Note that throughout the film, almost none of the characters refer to each other by their actual names. They are each identified to the audience by a nickname when he or she first speaks or otherwise becomes the focus of attention. This is accomplished by momentarily freezing the current frame to display the nickname as well as other helpful information, such as their chance of survival.

This movie is not great, it doesn't almost count as good. But it's a B movie, so what did you expect? The story line is cheesy, the acting is lame. But it have some sweet monsters in it and a lot of bullets flying around. I wouldn't pay much to see this movie, so you rather downloading it and do something else in the mean time as it plays on your computer screen. Overall, not a bad movie, still not a good one. I give it 4/10.
