For two years now people have been deadly afraid for a cold or a flu. And now people review this thriller with words like "bad actors" and "boring". First of all, the actors are fine. Second of all it´s not boring. I don´t understand people in this upside down world, where everything is twitched the wrong way.

1883
(2021–2022)
5 stars it is!
19 January 2022
It has it´s moments, but it´s trying too hard to be Lonesome Dove. Where Lonesome Dove had everything, 1883 have bearly something. The quasi poetic narrator and the pompous trying-too-hard story is almost impossible to watch sometimes. And why put Sam Elliot as the tough guy number one? He´s a good actor, but he´s not number one tough. Clint Eastwood knew when it was tine to step down, still being tough. But this is not Elliots fault, its the creators. For those new to western series or those who haven´t seen Lonesome Dove, it´s...watchable, maybe.
This is not accessable anywhere.

This movie is not for people under the age of 40
29 December 2020
You wold´t get it, if you´re under 40. You would think Bennings character is stupid and partly hysterical, and Nighys character is boring without any substance at all. But if you´re older, you might find this little pearl of a movie reflecting your own life, and appreciate these superb actors superbly directed by Willian Nicholson.
Better Call Saul
(2015–2022)
And just when you think this show actually has reached the sky...
16 April 2020
...It turns out its still getting better. Exciting and original. BCS definately is more focusing on drama where Breaking Bad was more focusing on being a drama/thriller. Better call Saul is now in season 5, better than Breaking Bad was at any point, from my view. Bob Odenkirk is outstanding and Rhea Seehorn is the finishing quality touch. Together with the other actors we know from Breaking Bad they have made the best spin-off ever.
Aaron Paul 10 kilos heavier
15 October 2019
It's a mystery why the producer didn't tell Paul to lose some weight before the shooting started. After a year in a cage the pinkman-caracter should have lost some weight but Paul didn't put any effort at all and the result is an actor with a head twice the size where it should be half the size.
Gentleman Jack
(2019–2022)
Suranne Jones is superb
21 May 2019
Gentleman Jack have a superb casting all over. However. Suranne Jones is in a league of her own, as always. Why she is not up there, among the great Hollywood stars, is probably because she is best known as a tv-actor. Put her in a drama next to anyone and Suranne will overshine anyone. Best actor ever!
The Wrestler
(2008)
Such great acting
15 October 2018
Both Marisa Tomei and Rachel Wood is outstanding in this movie, but never ever have I seen such an obviously and worthy winner for the Oscars without winning as Mickey Rourke as Randy. How could he not win an Oscar in this role? He did everything right to prepare. He IS Randy. He did so much workout, with or without the stereoids, probably with. But in the end he is such a fine actor, both masculine and subtile, and this is the role of his life. Shame on the academy for not doing the right thing, giving the Oscar to a candidate never before so obviously a winner.
The Girl on the Train
(2016)
Superbly played by the main character, and below the average movie
10 August 2018
Rating this as a 6,5, witch is the current status, is absolutely absurd. Movies below 6 are are often rubbish, one have to rate 7 or up to rate a good movie. This is a good movie. The plot is not super-original, but it is original above the average thriller. Rachel, the main caracter, alcoholized, is suberbly played by Emily Blunt.
She even have the alcoholics red skin around the cheek-area. Superb make-up. Apart from that, the story is well put together, and the last half of the movie makes up for the kind of slow beginning.

Chomsky was right
15 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Being from Norway it is hard to believe that a prison-system can be like the American system, even though I quite often listen to podcast with Noam Chomsky, who have been telling about this modern slavery for years. And that's why this movie is so credible, we have been reading about this here and there, but seeing it like this in this way, almost exactly like Chomsky have described it, came like a chock.
The first thing that goes through my mind is "a country's leaders who can accept such a system is no better than Herr Hitlers Germany back in the thirties" (it wasn't before the forties the Nazis started killing Jews systematically)or any system that reduce its people to animals or even worse. The only way changing the system, i think, is if people say "stop" and demonstrate heavily or this can only end in massive catastrophe somehow.

Prescription Thugs
(2015)
Nice try, bad outcome
19 June 2016
What do we have here? We have Chris, who have made this film. Chris is one of three brothers. These brothers are heavy users of anabolic steroids. Which, by the way, strangely enough is not a topic in this movie, although my 13-year old daughter saw that right away. Chris's oldest brother have been in wrestling and wants to be a famous superstar, and he is addicted to painkillers. Painkillers are the topic in this film.
In the film Chris is going after the painkiller industry, the pharmaceutical industry.
In his tour around for showing us how this dirty business really works, he interviews a lot of guys. The guys are medical junkies, no doubt, all on heavy doses of anabolic steroids, like Chris himself, big strong guys who cries sometimes in front of the camera, really crying tears, obviously in mental disorder. And he interview a homeopathic doctor who tell us all the bad things the pharmaceutical industry does. A homeopathic doctor! Why does he interview a homeopathic doctor? Well, because homeopathy is quackery, and the whole movie is in some way quackery.
I feel sorry for these guys. I really do. And for Chris, the little guy who wants to be big as his bigger brothers. They obviously need help, all of them. But when they combine all this drugs that they do combine, and blame it on painkillers, that really is just too stupid.
Someone should have told Chris, because he is not in a condition to see for himself, as we will find out in the movie. But someone should have told him: "Don't make this movie, you are out of balance and don't see clear, Chris".

Interstellar
(2014)
This movie is totally ridiculous!
12 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
First of all, why don't Matthew McConaughey use his vocal cord anymore. His talking sound comes from squeezing his throat together and it sounds like Clint Eastwood or Christian Bale, when Bale was acting in Batman. You know, sounding very tough, very super-masculine. It is really annoying. Second. This movie is made to look like a good movie, but it's not. It is a parody, a comic parody. And not such a good one.
Matthew is send out in outer space to save the world. In outer space he meets with Matt Damon, who joins the movie for some minutes, probably as a quality alibi. Damon wakes up from deep sleep, made better in Alien more than 36 years ago. After five minutes his gone, blown away into outer space, made better several times before in several movies. Matthew, after a while, and between some really bad dialogs, ends miraculously up in a strange dimension made of aliens or humans from the future, made better in The Abyss 26 years ago. From there his daughter, who is years and several dimensions away, she understands everything, because Matthew uses... morse. Yes, good oldfashion morse, you know, dot dot dot line line dot dot. The whole thing is actually pretty funny, if you like really bad comic. And everything is accompanied with classical drama music, like in The Godfather. BIG SCREEN MOVE :), off course, made better so many times before. In the end the producers have made a nice scene for those who have never seen a really good movie before. And voilà, we have 8,7 on IMDb. Spooky.
