Last night, The Guilty (Den Skyldige)



It was okay. The acting is quite good. But really, a movie that consists of almost nothing but one man's phone calls (which, for added variety, take place in two neighbouring rooms) didn't come across to me as the claimed taut thriller. Even if he is a policeman working in emergency dispatch.

Apparently an American remake is under consideration.

All the Money in the World





The amazing story of the Getty kidnapping.

greg

Candyman.

Decent movie but not sure it actually made sense.

Second watch. A good film, but I still don't get how Ryan Gosling became a star - he has no range at all, and here Carey Mulligan run rings around him in demonstrating how a quiet inwardlooking performance can be masterfully done.

Girl on the Third Floor





This horror thriller is the story of a couple who have just bought an old house with a plan to renovate it. What they do not know is that the house has a past. Not compulsive viewing, just OK

Madiel

A Second Chance (En Chance Til in Danish)



At turns shocking, sad and tragic. And yet not entirely depressing. It's well done for what is really quite a bizarre story about parents and children.

The Evil Dead.

Goofy and gross.

Florestan



A Lucky Man (after Henrik Pontoppidan's novel)

Having read the book I can say this is one of the best ecranisations I've ever seen. Great performance from all the main characters. I enjoyed it immensely, if enjoyment is the right word for such a dark and tragic story.

Beast





A really well made drama with a different slant on the serial killer genre. This focuses on the personality behind the killer and not on the victims. Really worthwhile.

Last night, for the nth time: Alien;  the horror plot points aside, a beautiful film to watch, stylishly designed and shot, and Ridley Scott's elegant pacing is exemplary.

Agreed... that one still gets me, my dad let me watch it when I was about 12, and I haven't been right since...  :P
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

I still remember nearly jumping out of my skin in the cinema that fateful night.

The VVitch
In summary same feelings as the movie Candyman- entertaining but didn't really make much sense.

Just finished watching Claude Berri's Jean de Florette (based on Marcel Pagnol):


I first watched this in the cinema when it was released in 1986. This story of pettiness in a bucolic provençal setting is quite engaging, nicely acted (Gérard Depardieu, Yves Montand and Daniel Auteuil) and directed. Will watch the second part (and denouement of the story), Manon des sources, this weekend.

Two wonderful films.

A classic!  :)  Edge of the seat tension....

Needed some levity, so watched Eddie Izzard's "Unrepeatable".  It's a live concert from 1994 filmed at the Albery Theatre.  Good to laugh for a while.   :)  His whacky, but intelligent, sense of humor hit the spot.
