On a tree hill

Second to last Wallander movie. Not best of the long-running series, but decent Scandinavian crime entertaintment nevertheless. The hero solves the whodunnit -thing and battles some private issues.

Mother Nature is a serial killer

Better than I kept hearing through the grapevine. But, it was done at an insane pace, I couldn't keep up and my 100Hz television set couldn't keep up, the action just flew in your face and then it was gone, and then something else as wicked happened. Only at the end we had some time to breathe, but that's ever so late. Just zombie shit at break-neck speed with no senseless plot. I read that they rewrote the original script (costing additional 20 millions dollars....whaaaaaaat?!?), so no wonder it was a bit disheveled and out of place at times.

Sooner or later, you gotta make the move

I probably had read it earlier, but I had forgotten most of it already anyways. It's a bit difficult following both the TV series and the graphic novel because the latter is so much more ahead and, despite the basics being the same, they are different entities with lots of different characters and so on. I even play the Walking Dead fucking game on PS3 from time to time.

Truth always sounds like lies to a sinner

A slow-burner at first, but developed to be one of my favourite series. Timothy Olyphant is a perfect modern day gunslinger and the late Elmore Leonard penned the most wonderful words.

An outlet for American rage

I have seen worse, but ultimately this was truly a silly fucker. A family locked inside their high-tech home (w/ an ordinary windows flaw) while a crazy mob tries to kill them dead. Panic Room with the special twist labelled the annual purge day.

American zero

I'm ever so sceptic with documentaries. This one here; a failed (if we don't count the few million fans in South Africa) Detroit musician kills himself on stage and suddedly reappears, alive. It all does sound too good and amazing and fucked-up to be true, doesn't it? But like some South African said it: "We grew up believing he was one of the biggest stars in the world." Just fucken unreal. He never died, he only became forgotten. The corporate music industry head honchos robbed the money and left the musician to rot, basically.

When the music stops

And old-school ghost house horror movie. And they aren't making them like this these days any more. But they should. Or they shouldn't. What do I care?

A-hangin' on a tree

Not bad. John Cusack makes a fine psycho (real-time serial killer Robert Hansen) and Nicolas Cage an okay detective. Cuts lots of corners of the story of Alaska's most heinous crime case, but definitely worth watching.

The belief of lycantropes

I was positively surprised. I expected nothing and I got...well, stupid horror comedy. But in a good way.

Stop stopping

Silly. Or beyond silly. I'm just about had it finishing these movies that leave an aftertaste that you have just watched a video game.

All this and more

A stand-up comedian struggles to co-parent his autistic son. A simple story, seen many times before, but solid and entertaining little flick...
