Locke & Key (2020)
Well call me stupid then
A majority of reviewers talk down on Locke & Key because of characters making stupid decisions and therefore it's a stupid series. I remember being a teenager, I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed myself, and if I had to face the unknown I would have ran away and cried in a dark hole for sure...
I'm not the least ashamed to say I liked it a lot. I also enjoy i.e Riverdale, Sabrina and Love because it's nice to sometimes just put your brain in chill mode and relax without having to put much thought into what you're watching. With that I'm not saying it's a poor production, on the contrary, I think it's brilliant. People who say it's bad have just been fed with too many Emmy award-winning series and red carpet actors that they compare and when anything else doesn't live up to their expectations.
If you're a fan of paranormal, mystery series with kids solving riddles that don't necessarily have to be up to par with (a bit overrated) Stranger Things, then Locke & Key definitely is for you.
Fri os fra det onde (2009)
Disappointed
I love watching foreign movies, Scandinavian in particular, so I had high hopes about "Fri Os Fra Det Onde". Unfortunately, the movie falls flat on it's face. I get the feeling the director was trying to shock us more than entertain us. The actors (most of them) were not only acting poorly, but their characters behavior was non credible. I felt the whole movie was built on clichés.
You got your village drunk who also seems to be the local hero. He beats his girlfriend, but she wants to stay with him because he gives promises about marriage. And of course, she's pregnant. The drunkard also has sidekicks, Chip 'n Dale, who do what they're told. The village idiot who everyone makes fun of because of his bad stutter. The rich couple who really doesn't belong there, and nobody likes them. They are not one of them, despite the fact that the husband is the drunkards brother. They got lots of money. And they cared for the refugee, allowing him into their home. Big no-no. The poor language impaired man from Bosnia (I think) who lost his family and accidentally does an "Of Mice and Men" thing. Beerfest, drinking contest, racism, urinating...
Stupid and lazy police officers, a crazy elder with PTSD and last but not least, bewildered women who dances half naked around a bonfire with the not so attractive, vindictive men. Ah yes, they also rape the wealthy wife. In front of the children.
There's only one thing unique about this movie. The story is so unbelievable it almost gets interesting from time to time. Also the cinematography is stunning.
Maybe I'm being too harsh, but this is what I felt. I will not watch this movie again.
P.s Lene was hot, bring Aqua back! d.s.
Alfie (2004)
Absolutely Brilliant !!
I'm totally and undoubtedly in love with Jude Law. Or is it Alfie? I truly can't tell them apart. Jude Law is an excellent actor, I've always thought so. And the way he captures me from the very first frame in this movie, is something that for me is very rare in times of shallow and soulless film-making. I want to be amazed! And I was, over and over again. Alfie suited Law perfectly, and the way he acts assures me of his passion for his job. Every line is perfection, every look, every move, down to the smallest wink. The story makes me laugh, cry, curse in foreign languages, and smile of recognition. Everyone needs to see this movie, male, female, young, old, single, married. It really get's you thinking about relationships and what role we play in this game of love. How do we appreciate what we have, and how do we let go of what we have no longer? To move on and try to overcome the guilt, the betrayals, let-downs and broken hearts. Dig deep inside and find those feelings you didn't think you had, until you realize they were just hiding in the shadows waiting for you to make a move. To seize opportunities and knowing when to hold on. To find true love... isn't that what it's all about, Alfie?
