Indiana Jones og krystallhodeskallens rike / Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Adventure movie which has kept its style like the previous Indiana Jones movies. In the meanwhile still can offer interesting moments.

Rating: 4/5 of 6

Golmaal Returns

Braveheart

Good classical movie. Unfortunately, the watching experience wasn’t the same this time as it was first I watched this movie in around 2002.

Rating: 4/5 of 6

Jo Nesbø: Snømannen (The Snowman)

Good and interesting crime novel from the Norwegian and internationally known author, Jo Nesbø.

Unfortunately, the climax gives a feeling of like any other climax in crime novel. I think the author could improvise this. Otherwise, the novel offers an interesting story and reading experience.

Rating: 5 of 6

Rome – Season 2

Phenomenal season of this series. It has great production values, and the description of Rome as a sin city in old days is amazing. In the same time, while the characters are portrayed as people with lack of moral, the makers succeeded to show the characters human and good sides as well. This season is actually better than the previous one, and the last episode was superb.

Rating: 5/6 of 6

Varg Veum – Din til Døden (Yours Until Death)

All right interesting thriller, but not that good as the previous two movies. As I said for the first movie in this series, it’s good that the Varg Veum movies has started to set more focus on the background score, but it’s not that inspiring when you notice that the music is clearly inspired by other movies and tend to be too similar to them. In this case, some of the score seemed similar to the score from Bourne-movies.

Rating: 4 of 6

Rush Hour 3

All right and time pass action comedy.

Rating: 4 of 6

Arr i Sjelen / Wire in the Blood – Season 3

Good series, but the previous season was better than this one. Every episode tends to be relatively similar, and the spectacular climax isn’t that exciting when you know that it’s going to provide a novel and creative explanation, like another previous episodes. But still, entertaining and interesting.

Rating: 5 of 6

Casino Royale

In order to prepare to the upcoming latest Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, I had to watch Casino Royale again. The movie was, again, great, and it inspired me a lot to watch the upcoming new movie.

Rating: 6 of 6

Heroes

Good movie from the maker of Nanhe Jaisalmer. Heroes is a drama movie about some whether people should attend the military services or not. In this case, we meet several legenadry military heroes and their stories helps to make up a mind about how important this service is.

The movie is great, and full of emotions. The good thing with the movie is that despite it’s patriotic, it doesn’t put Pakistan in bad light, which actually was very common in patriotic movies which came earlier till around 2005. Instead of dragging Pakistan's name through the dirt, the maker has used a different view to show the tension between India and Pakistan and including the political issues. A really hatke movie.
