I don't believe in evolution
How can a grown up and reasonable person say “I don’t believe in evolution”??! It’s like saying “i don’t believe in Napoleon or the Roman Empire” etc imho. How can you discuss anything further if they laugh at you saying “haha well you think that we all came from monkeys anyway”??… Ugggghhhh.. Soooo frustrating! They also claim that...

We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)
At first I didn’t really get into it because of the slow start but it got really interesting in the end. Very thought provocative, beautiful and tragic at the same time. I wish they had answered more questions though.
Tilda Swinton love! John C Reilly seemed a bit of a weird choice but oh well, I got used to it. The little girl was a cutie and Kevin was excellently psychopathic.

Like Crazy (2011)
At first glance an “original” hipster romance but actually it made me want to rip the fucking print apart.
So all the freaking drama came from the girl’s incredibly sneaky and brilliant idea of “hey wait fuck the immigration rules of the united states of America, I wanna stay and run around the beach with my bf!”. And she’s supposed to be majoring in...

“I watched Underworld 4 the other day and you know what, it was actually decent....”
– Marlon, my sweet friend.. Cuz if you’d compare Underworld with anything, it would be Twilight. And that’s saying a lot if something’s better than Twilight. Perspectives, man, perspectives…

Intruders (2011)
I thought that this would be terrible but we had either this or Monster in Paris 35mm to screen and I guess i will watch the latter in 3D eventually.
To be honest I thought it was really clever for a horror film. *SPOILERS* That the main idea was that there are no monsters or ghosts or evil spirits lurking around the dark corners of the house, it all just comes from imagination, children’s...

The Descendants (2011)
Wa definitely worth the wait. Absolute George Clooney love! Funny and intelligent and so sweet.. Oh yea I really suck at descriptions but I enjoyed this thoroughly.

Homeland (2011 TV series)
Oh my god! My second favourite series this season since American Horror Story!
After the first ep we thought that Oooh they shouldn’t have given away that much, but actually every single episode just keeps making everything more and more intriguing! We still have 4 to go, but working tomorrow open/mid, so shouldn’t really watch them tonight..
Claire Danes is awesome and so is the...

Haywire (2011)

It was interesting and clever, the fighting was awesome sauce, the music original and then all the actors!
Great way how to spend a Sat night late close.

Luck (2011 TV series)
My first instinct would guess this is boring and not worth while. Horse racing? Gambling? What’s so good about that?
But actually this might be one of the best things I’ve seen lately. It has about ALL the stars in it, you don’t know what’s coming and you can’t wait for the next episode. Plus it’s crazy how the actual races are filmed. 🐎
So I’m really...

Grimm (2011 TV series)
Younger brother of Once Upon A Time? Cuz now it’s time to remake ALL children’s fairytales with a modern twist? Like it was fashionable to make everything with vampires? Or ancient Roman/Greek?
Didn’t like it, didn’t really care. Predictable and quite stupid.

W.E. (2011)
So this mentally unstable girl really feels like her life relates to “the greatest love story of the 20th century”, only that it doesn’t and it isn’t. One thing I learnt was to never name your children after your idols cuz they might just end up batshit crazy.
The most amusing thing about this film is that we weren’t supposed to get it in the first place. But then...

Alcatraz (2011 TV series)
The idea of it is so clever and brilliant but so far I think the execution is quite weak. It’s been only 2 episodes but still. There could be so much mystery and suspense around the characters who keep coming back from the past but instead they kinda rush with all the action and killings and all that jazz. And the main girl is annoying. And Sam Neill’s (Sam Neill in Space!) character...

Coriolanus (2011)
It might be very uncultured and uneducated of me to say this but oh my god how painful this was. Really really painful.. It just wasn’t for me. The Shakespearean dialogue was too difficult to follow and my mind kept wandering off to all sorts of random things. I only gathered as much as I read from the imdb plot summary and even that was confusing.
Sorry. I’m just not that high class...

J. Edgar (2011)
Excellent. Loved it all the way through, the 7 reels didn’t feel like 7 reels at all.
I’ve been so impressed by Clint Eastwood’s films, I don’t even know.. Wow.

Rob (2011 TV series)
Soooo… I’m embarrassed to admit we watched about 10 minutes of it.
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW I SWEAR I DIDN’T KNOW!!
….
Turns out Rob is a comedy tv series starring Rob Schneider. The most retarded thing I’ve ever seen. It makes Jersey Shore look educational and clever. Uggghhh… Yes, luckily we stopped 10 minutes in and my brain isn’t mashed potato now,...

Suits (2011 TV series)
Seemed like House MD with lawyers. But the script wasn’t that good.. Everything was a bit too random and happening too quickly and too simplified. I dunno, it might turn out to be good, only watched one episode.

Golden Globes 2012
We missed the beginning but are watching it now. Yay for Jessica Lang! (we we’re saying she would!)
Cannot stand the ads though. Especially cuz I’m opening in the morning. Ughhhhh…

Moneyball (2011)
Hah just in time before the Globes. Missing The Artist and The Descendants from the main films now.
Moneyball was as good as they made it out to be. But I really dislike Jonah Hill. Like really really dislike him. Ugh.

Puss in boots 3D (2011)
Didn’t really expect much but I didn’t have anything to do at work (read: was hungover and lazy) and that screen finished early.
Liked it a lot. Some jokes were clever, some really clever and the 3D was cool.

Margin Call (2011)
Absolutely fantastic! I’m quite ignorant in these topics but it was fascinating even for me and even though we started watching it around 1am. Loved the acting from everyone.

The Darkest Hour 3D
Pretty stupid and the characters were all annoying so you kinda wanted them to be blown to ashes. But I liked the mix or Russia + America and the special effects were cool. I found the 3D a bit pointless though, didn’t really see it that much. On a positive side: it was really short.

War horse (2011)
Yes, Spielberg is this film god who can do no wrong..
But my opinion is that this was rubbish.. Beautiful and epic of course, but always cheesy and often ridiculous. I’m not a fan of war movies anyway but I was bored and annoyed at the clichés pretty much all the way through. Don’t even know how many times we were asking why those characters were doing what they were doing and what...

Melancholia (2011)
Oh Von Trier, you crazy bastard.. This was easier to watch than Antichrist but that’s not saying a lot. A bunch of symbolism and references and hidden meanings crammed into the two hours but overall it was very boring and dull. All of the characters were unlikable and I didn’t care about them whatsoever. I guess if I studied depression and wanted to see how someone suffering from this...

The goon (2011)
I would have never thought I’d enjoy a film with hockey as much as I enjoyed this! I never expected anything from it and that’s why I was so pleasantly surprised. The violence was oh so ugly, the jokes hilarious and on top of that SWS was the most loveable main character ever.

People say they it’s not as good as the first one but I really enjoyed it and liked Noomi as Lisbeth even more.

The Bank Job
The new tv game show that is.
Overall it’s quite dumb because you don’t really have to do or know much to win great sums of money..
BUT! Yesterday’s finale was so great showing how greed and manipulation will fuck you over in the end and you get absolutely nothing for trying to be a sleazy little cunt.
You have two people in the very end who have answered most questions...
