I think Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best football player in the world right now, just inches better than Luis Suarez, but easily over Messi and Ronaldo and Ribéry what have you. What he does with the ball is oftentimes beyond understanding. The others are great football players and they play like educated well-oiled machines, whereas Zlatan is otherwordly. So I read the book.

The man in svart
These "new" Wallanders get such bad reviews, but I haven't really read why exactly. I sure as hell fucking like them. Easy-going crime shit and Krister Henriksson is as cool in the title role as the rest of them Wallander cats.
Kiss me you dirty cunt
Jesus, this was cool. And people think it doesn't pay enough homege to the original. Who gives a shit. It was bloody, creepy and funny. One of the best movies of the year.
Too smart for your own good.
Quite alrite, this. Basically it has three movies within a one single movie, three different leads and all that. Very nicely done. Ryan Gosling continues where he left of with Drive, almost exactly the same character, but he does it well, even though I have never considered him as a marvellous as an actor everyone else thinks he is. I liked the laid-back attitude, the silent parts, in this movie a lot.
The god of war and warriors
Well, shit. Amazing. Best fucking TV I have seen for a while. It's better than Lilyhammer and Hannibal that I'm currently following and it's better than Game Of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and True Blood. Shit, it's the best fucking TV in decades. Loved every minute.
Cook with clairvoyant abilities
Once again, I don't understand all the rave reviews because I found this bloody awful. Teenage sci-fi/horror for those who watch this kind of garbage.
Desperate to mingle
At times this was excruciatingly funny, just over-the-top fucking comedy, but the anarchistic controversial mode was on ever so rarely. The akward and clumsy Brit in the States bit it is kind of died out.
Country heroes
I was about to say this is one of the shittiest pictures of the year and in a way it is, but can't escape the notion that many people find this bold and courageous and funny. I guess I just have a shit taste.
Everyone is a potential murderer
The way it should be. A goddamn simple story of two people swapping murders and that's all there is to it. The great ones don't need much to make a story frightening and interesting.
Keep it simple
It's either high self-esteem or shameless egoism, probably both, when this Finnish ice hockey couch speaks of his career. Either way it was an ok read, of course it's a one-sided truth, but you wouldn't expect any less from an autobiography.

What Lies Beneath
I'll probably keep on watching this. When the time is right. It didn't blow minds or anything, but twisted enough little fucker to keep me interested. Having said that, it tried too hard in being of the twisted and controversial nature, so sometimes it made it look like a cunt.
The best man in the country on madness
Michael Caine hunts down the notorious serial killer Jack The Ripper. He's pretty good, as it pretty much everything in this late 80s TV series. All these contemporary shits they are producing these days have lots to learn. You don't need two hundred characters within a series and sidestories of sidestories. Less is more.
Cock your pistols
Another classic that I picked up because I hadn't seen it before. I guess it lasted days, this Stanley Kubrick's costume drama, but I guess it was worth it. Or then, it wasn't. I don't know.
A pattern of insubordinate behavior
I dare to admit I didn't understand it all. I left my concentration waver a bit there. Sometimes there were too many Cruises in my comfort zone, but I guess I'll see it again sometime in the future. The movie it looked awfully nice.
See you in the morning light
One of those classic films that I had not seen before but was oftentimes recommended to me. And you know what, as often, it was very fucking good, but not spellbindingly good. Somehow you have too much fucking expectations.

Ominous music playing
Hasn't got much recognition, but this is exactly my kind of a movie. Great actors, greatly written dialogue and cool as hell gangster shit.
Shadows walk in foggy mountains
They say that it's one of the most important movies of the Sixties. I don't know. What is an important movie? It was alright, but it didn't extinguish the house that was on fire the other day.
Totally funkless
A feel-good-movie. I like them. Innocent yet more-than-average intellectual fun. Funny and so much fucken enjoyable. Had me there.
Fucked without bacon
Rides the based-on-a-true-story fuckadoo. Without it, I might have nodded and said an alright little movie, but if half of this is true I'll shit on someone else's pants. If someone hollers it is true, and it actually is true, people are stupid and they are not allowed to live.
Lost paradise
Amazing documentary. Three children get killed and three teenagers are caught as suspects and nothing can stop the lynch mob. It makes you wonder how many real murders walk scot-free because of the U.S. justice system. And how many blatantly innocents have been ridiculed, spat on and killed for absolutely nothing.
Outcast before birth
A weird case of stolen identity. It's fucking absurd to begin with. This Texan-born boy goes missing and a French boy living in Spain sees his chance of taking his place and everyone fucking buys it. The family, friends and teachers, fucking everyone. A good movie, well worth the watch, I only wish they'd dug up what really happened to the original missing child, the assumptions weren't quite enough.
Life is a short hand game
Matti Ijäs has done some remarkable pieces, but this one is forgotten easily. There's nothing to grab hold of, acting is something you'd expect to see at some random school play and dialogue is beyond normal talk. It's a shame really because you can tell that the novel the movie is based on is amazing.
Like wounded wolves at bay
Played this fucker through because I had too much time on my hands. Coulda done something else. But I didn't. There's not much you can do about it.
A good death is its own reward
I liked this. Too long, too much high-tech, too much action and too much special effects, but other than that, I liked what I saw. Henry Cahill, despite everything that's been said, is alright as the Superdude. As is, Michael Shannon as his nemesis. Russell Crowe is somewhat out of his character as S's father, but that's no biggie.
The 13th wave
Thor Heyerdahl and his buddies build a non-motored draft and sail across the Pacific. Quite the type of an adventure as you'd expect w/ sharks and whales and storms and sumthin.

Claws like Ginsu knives
Done with deliciously bad taste. People (Henry Rollins included) stuck in a roadside tavern down in desert canyon surrounded by disgusting slimy creatures. Fine trash horror, like hillbilly Alien.
Memoirs of a moron
Robert de Niro as delusional author, taxi driver (!) and a hobo. A movie of poverty, depression and homelessness. Above average.
Floating sorrows
A two-episode TV drama written by Paul Abbott (Clocking Off, State Of Play, Cracker et al.). Squeezed into a movie, in 90 minutes thereabouts, this would have been quite alrite instead of just decent.
An early war paint scheme
An Aryan family flees from Allied Forces in WWII. The parents apparently are hardcore nazis and they leave the children of five to make do alone. The little ones wander through the countryside and struggle for survival as the horrors of the nazi regime unravel.
Things don't get better here
