The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
The Punisher was a film I saw when it came in 1989. I didn’t really like it back then. I think I had a grudge towards Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren at that time. And, he’s not a brilliant actor but has gotten better over the years. This part doesn’t demand too much of him you might argue. He speaks with a slow voice and he seems to struggle not to have a Swedish accent. I...
I’m glad there was a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 eventually. I was afraid that there might not be one at one point. At least not something that could be worthy of the two first installments of the film series. It’s probably common knowledge by now that Disney Studios or whatever they’re called (I’m sure there are lots and lots of subsidiaries), wasn’t too pleased about some tweets James Gunn made several years ago...
Ever since I was a kid I like magic tricks. Not that I necessarily believe in real magic but I like to be fooled by great illusionists. And I hate not being able to figure out the trick too. In the movie-realm magic exists of course. Real Magic. I have no problem with that what so ever. I enjoy it and I love fantasy movies with wizards and warlocks too. In Dr. Strange, we meet...
Logan is a movie I wanted to see for a long time. Not just because it’s a Marvel flick or that it revolves around the Wolverine character. actually I never ever read X-men in comic form. I wasn’t even aware of most of the characters in it. But since I was a big fan of Spider-man in my youth Wolverine was in my conscious. I think he was a guest hero in the Spider-man comic...
Thor: Ragnarok is the third installment in the series. That means that even people like me, that barely saw the comic with this hero, knows a bit of the story and characters. As a Swede, I know a thing or two about Norse mythology though. But I guess that’s really no benefit since they have changed quite a few things in these films. Of course, the main hierarchy is still there. In other words, Odin is...
Marvel delivers yet another cool movie! Just a few years ago, I wasn’t that into Marvel productions. It was more because I didn’t recognize the super heroes than that I didn’t like the actual concept of the films. To be truthful, they have always been quite esthetic to watch. They’re beautiful and they have a lot of nice action (and CGI). I think the days when we all were Anti CGI is now over. We...
Marvel has really done a great job weaving all the movies together. It’s been going on for some time. Characters from one franchise guesting another and so forth. But if you’re not and Marvel expert ( like I’m not) it may be hard to understand which characters that really belong together and which that doesn’t. I never read Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, or Iron Man. I have some experience with Spiderman and Hulk though....
I saw the first Deadpool in the theatre. The plan was to see the second one there as well but when I premiered I wasn’t able to fulfill that goal. Luckily I’m totally satisfied by watching movies at home. Actually, it’s my favorite way of watching movies. Comfortable and without having to travel anywhere. I just had to wait for Deadpool 2 coming out on DVD and Blu-ray. Then I forgot about it until I...
