12 Monkeys (2015–2018)

Very Standardized

[5/10 · 25 November 2017]

This is a series that any writer, or perhaps just anyone, could write in their sleep. There is a boy, there is a girl. There is a dark future with ravaging hordes of barbarians. There is the usual time travel paradoxes like the main characters meeting the bad guys, but the bad guys have already met them. Also, if you can send some one back in time, why don't have him invest in stocks and build up a huge organization to fight the disaster to come? Why are the ravaging hordes of barbarians in the future even necessary plot-wise? Isn't it bad enough that 7 billion people have died? If you want a similar, but better, show I recommend Travelers instead.

Seducing Doctor Lewis (2003)

A good comedy in a beautiful setting

[8/10 · 7 February 2004]

This movie offers a lot of laughs, while not up to the standards of "Fierce Creatures" is very well worth the money spent. The setting of the movie, presumably, somewhere in Quebec, Canada is very beautiful.

Interview (2003)

A drama with the gravitational pull of a black hole

[9/10 · 7 February 2004]

In a way nothing much happens in this movie, but the incredible tension of love/hate between the main characters really captures you and sucks you in. Excellent acting. If you're a guy and don't like dramas it is still worth seeing it for the scene where Katja (the character) watches here own TV series :)

9/10

Lost and Delirious (2001)

Terrible and Great. A magnificent tragedy.

[10/10 · 7 February 2004]

A movie that starts out with pillow fights and teen lesbianism at a boarding school usually do not go anywhere, oh well - perhaps into the R-rated shelf. This movie however thanks to excellent acting and a script, I suspect, inspired by Shakespeare turned into possibly the greatest tragedy I've ever seen. In short it shows how prejudice and/or a broken heart can turn a life steadily, but surely, from happiness and into madness. Those of you with empathy will no doubt find this movie excruciatingly painful, but it really makes up for it in "beauty".

Ah hell, I don't know what more to say - just see it.
