Pokemon Detective Pikachu - a review!
I admit, I haven't been playing a lot of Pokémon, when I was younger. I had a Gameboy with one of the Pokémon games, but I never played it more than 10 minutes at a time. Then, Niantic released Pokémon GO, a game for your smartphone, where you hunt for Pokémon in the real world. It was insanely popular, so it felt only fitting for a live action Pokémon movie to be made.
The movie follows Tim, a young man who discovers that his father, Harry, is missing, presumed dead. He heads to Ryme City to finish up some things, when he meets Pikachu. A witty detective, who is looking for Harry. Tim and Pikachu can understand each other, but nobody else can. All they hear, when Pikachu is talking, is "pika pika pika", which makes Tim freak out. Understandably.
He meets Lucy, a young reporter, also looking for Harry, which makes her the third person in this movie to do so. Together, they embark on an adventure, filled with thrills and extreme danger, that concludes in a chilling fact.
The lead role as Tim is played by Justice Smith, last seen in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Pikachu is voiced by Ryan Reynolds, and Lucy is played by Kathryn Newton. Other actors on the list include Bill Nighy, Ken Watanabe and Suki Waterhouse.
The budget of this live action Pokémon movie was 150 million dollars, and it made 135 million dollars in the US. The total worldwide box office haul was 397 million dollars. Sadly, the movie was a financial flop, since it didn't make back the budget in the US.
Now, being that I don't know most Pokémon, and that I don't really know how each Pokémon should behave, I went into the film with low expectations. I have heard from people, who know the lore of Pokémon, that it was a great movie, so I was excited to see if they were right - and they were.
It's an impressive looking film. One scene had me going "Wow, that was amazing!". It is a movie aimed at kids, but adults will have a great time as well. I know I did!
8/10!

Nostalgic Itch
I've seen Once Upon A Time In Hollywood a couple of times now and I'm sure I missed plenty of Easter eggs. It got me thinking about the influence that movies and television had on my childhood and those thoughts eventually brought me back to an old itch.
I thought it had been scratched back in 1988 with the movie They Live. The movie is about a guy who finds a box filled with sunglasses that, when worn, unmask an alternate reality filled with aliens...or something like that.
It was close, but not quite it. I found that They Live was based on a story called 8 o'clock in the morning.
The faint memory I had was a closing scene shot through the lense of special glasses that allowed the wearer to see aliens disguised as humans. At first I thought They Live might have been a remake, but it was not.
I started to question my ability to recall with much accuracy anything from my childhood and was prepared to blame marijuana use as a teen for the dissociation. I'm reminded of why eyewitness testimony is so unreliable...but my mania was renewed after seeing the new Tarantino film.
I went hunting once again--determined to get satisfaction by finding what I was looking for, or burying it altogether under the realization that my mind, since 1970 or so, had been reduced to producing about as meaningful synapse as a bowl of day-old guacamole.
Eureka! Don't open that bag of tortilla chips just yet! I fk'n found it! And the scene is pretty much how I remember it. After something like 40 years this itch has finally been scratched!
It was a TV movie called The Love War. This is the final scene. The "money shot" @ about 10 mins.

The Wave - a review!
This is one of those "it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when" movies, since this movie very well will come to reality in the near future.
The Wave is based on the true story of a huge tsunami that hit Norway 80 years ago. The disaster was triggered when a mountainside collapsed, causing huge damage and casualties in a number of villages along Norway's fjords. A Norwegian geologist (played by Kristoffer Joner) and his family (Ane Dahl Torp, Jonas Hoff Oftebro and Edith Haagenrud-Sande) fight for survival when a massive landslide causes a 250-foot tidal wave. Such an event is very likely to happen again, but they don't know when.
Written and directed by Roar Uthaug, the movie is well paced and the buildup is great. The disaster itself is very impressively done, with some great VFX work.
There are a few Danish people in this movie, and they are, of course, killed off. And people wonder where us Danes get our small hatred to the Norwegian people. Just kidding, I love you, Norway!
Anyway, the movie.. It's well acted, and it's a genuine nail biter. A sequel, The Quake, is out now, and hopefully I can watch that at some point

The Quake - a review!
I mentioned in my previous blog, that I would see if I could find this movie, and watch it. Well, find it I did, and let me tell you - I did watch that. And I loved it!
In 1904 an earthquake of magnitude 5.4 on the Richter scale shook Oslo, with an epicenter in the "Oslo Graben" which runs under the Norwegian capital. There are now signs that indicate that we can expect a major future earthquake in Oslo.
The main cast is the same from the first movie, although this time, the family is torn, due to Kristians wife divorcing him. Kristian lives in the now rebuilt Geiranger. He gets word that a friend of his was killed in an accident in an Oslo tunnel, so Kristian sets off to Oslo, to search for answers.
This movie is exciting, to say the least! Yet again, the VFX is stellar, and it's always impressive seeing a massive 35 story building fall down! They up the terror and the gore in this one, which is a welcome sight. A little blood didn't hurt anyone!
The Quake is better than The Wave, and my rating this time goes to - wait for it - 10 out of 10! (I think that's my first 10/10 this year)
This movie has it all: Thrills, destruction and top notch effects! Highly recommended if you want to watch some thrilling destruction!

Overdrive - a review!
I was browsing Netflix, looking for something to see, when this movie popped up in my recommended feed. The synopsis reads: "Two roguish brothers' penchant for stealing vintage sports cars gets them tangled in the animosity between two French mafia rivals", and the cast was listed as Scott Eastwood, Freddie Thorp and Ana de Armas.
Now, I am a sucker for movies with cars in them, so I thought "Fine, I'll watch this. It'll probably be terrible, since most car movies are."
The movie begins in Monaco, with an auction where they are auctioning off a rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, of which there are only 2 in the World. (I did some fact checking on that one, and it turns out it's correct information. Nice research!).
Anyway, the car is sold, and is put on a transporter, bound for an unknown destination. On the way out of Monaco, two brothers are ready to intercept and steal the car. They manage to do so, but upon delivery, they are knocked out and taken to a guy called Jacomo Morier. They wake up, tied to a chair, with the threat of impending death. They are given an ultimatum: Steal a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO within one week, or die. Naturally, our two brothers decide to steal the car, or at least attempt to.
They gather a crew, and then the movie really kicks into high gear (no pun intended).
I enjoyed this movie immensely, and it's a fantastic movie for any car fanatic out there. A few of the cars in this movie is an E Type Jaguar, an AC Cobra, numerous Ferrari's and of course that stunning 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic. It has some great stunts, but some of the car chases felt sped up. A pity, considering it would have been a joy to watch some intense car chases.
Overall, this movie lands in the 8/10 area.
You can see it on Netflix, or own it on blu-ray/dvd!

Quarantine - a review!
I am on a bit of a horror binge today. I have seen the remake of It, and now I have finished Quarantine, the 2008 remake of the Spanish movie .
The story is pretty straight forward: A journalist and a cameraman has been tasked with shadowing a LAFD crew for the night. They get a call to an apartment building, where something strange has occurred. It soon becomes clear, that this is no ordinary call, and that there is something bizarre and more sinister at play than they had been anticipating.
The movie is found-footage style, and I like that about this one. It gives it more of an authentic and terrifying feel to it. I enjoyed the way that the movie went from "Just a regular day" to "Oh my god, what's happening and how do we stop it from happening any further?"
The actors in this movie are doing a great job, and they really put on a great performance. Jennifer Carpenter has the leading role in this movie, and I enjoyed her performance as a reporter, who gets WAY in over her head, and ends up a nervous wreck. Steve Harris is her camera man Scott, who we rarely see, but has quite a big role to play, because we see the movie from his perspective.
Other actors include Jay Hernandez, Johnathon Schaech, Columbus Short, Rade Serbedzija and Andrew Fiscella.
If you are into found-footage style horror, with plenty of terror, you will love this film. Me, as a film lover, enjoyed the way it was shot. I also enjoyed the acting from Jennifer Carpenter.
Quarantine lands on a solid 9/10!

It - A review!
I mentioned in a previous blog, that I had seen the movie It, but I never wrote a review of it. So I thought that I would do just that.
The story is extremely straight forward: In the summer of 1989, a group of bullied kids band together to destroy a shape-shifting monster, which disguises itself as a clown and preys on the children of Derry, their small Maine town.
I am not usually into horror films, but It has captured what a good horror film is: Exciting, creepy and full of great performances.
The runtime for this movie is a genre-breaking 2 hours and 15 minutes. Usually, horror films has a strict 90 minute runtime. Think about it: Every horror movie you have seen lasts 90 minutes. It's like there were some committee going "Right, we need a standard runtime on our horror movies. Waddaya got?"
Anyway, sidetrack! Let's get back to the review!
Bill Skarsgård stars as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. He gives an awesome performance, and he is sufficiently creepy enough to pull off what will undoubtedly be hailed a legendary performance!
The kids are being played by Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer and Wyatt Oleff, and they are each doing a wonderful job. There is also a particularly nasty bully called Henry Bowers, who is played by Nicholas Hamilton. Being the victim of bullying myself, I can confirm that this Henry Bowers is THE single worst person I have ever seen in a movie. He is a vicious, nasty piece of human garbage, but all bullies have a weakness - in Henry's case, it's his cop father.
The six kids, lovingly named The Losers Club, Henry Bowers and the entity known as Pennywise form a fantastic horror movie, that I really, really enjoyed. For the first time ever, I am looking forward to a horror sequel!
10/10, hands down!

Kingsman: The Secret Service - A short review!
So yesterday, I was down in the living room, and my roommate put on a movie. It looked fun, so I asked him what movie it was. "It's the first Kingsman," he told me, so I decided to watch it.
What is it about? The synopsis reads: "A spy organization recruits an unrefined, but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program, just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius"
Taron Egerton plays the street kid, named Eggsy. He is into some bad stuff, with an abusive kingpin-stepfather and a penchant for petty crime. One such petty crime lands him in police custody, where he is being freed and recruited by Galahad, played by Colin Firth. Together with 9 other people, he embarks on a brutal training programme, that will shape him into a secret agent.
One of the people working for Kingsman is named Merlin, who is played by Mark Strong. I liked his character, because he was a welcome sight. He was extremely dry, but kind at the same time.
The tech genius is played, very well I might add, by Samuel L Jackson. His character, whom Samuel L Jackson made have a lisp, was one of the best things about the movie, which had plenty of actors where you go "Eeeey, nice!".
The action in the film is also one of the strong parts. There is one scene in a church that is both chaotic, brutal and funny at the same time, and it sends the entertainment value skyhigh!
A new feature of my movie review is to rate them on the John Wick scale. For those of you, who doesn't know what "The John Wick scale" is, it's primary objective is to rate movies on three criteria:
1: How heavy are the punches? Can you feel them in your face, once the movie is done?
2: How many times do they sacrifice something to the Lord of Fire? (explosions)
3: How many times do they call The Grim Reaper? (Deaths)
Kingsman: The Secret Service gets 7 John Wicks out of 10. Lots of death and fights, but not enough explosions.
Overall, the movie was enjoyable. There is a sequel, which I will look into tomorrow!

Brightburn - a review!
I have finished Brightburn a few minutes ago, and it's amazing!
The story is pretty straight forward: What if Superman was evil instead of good?
The movie is produced by James Gunn, who is known from making Marvel movies, and it is a classic, no-nonsense, suspenseful horror film, with a lot of brutal imagery.
I will not go into a lot of detail here, because that will ruin the movie. Understand, though, that this isn't your classic feel-good movie, and it is super dark and depressing throughout the entirety.
Jackson A. Dunn plays Brandon Breyer, the kid known as Brightburn. He gives a fantasticaly creepy performance, and he is definitely someone you should look out for in the future. His parents, Tori and Kyle Breyer are played by Elizabeth Banks and David Denman respectively.
To give you an example on how brutal this film is, here is a scene from the movie
As you can see, it's a properly brutal movie, and if you are squeamish, then you need to give this a pass. If you are up for an amazing horror movie, with great practical effects, then watch Brightburn. I really enjoyed watching it!
9/10!

Designated Survivor (Season 2 + 3) - a review!
A few months ago, I watched the first season of Designated Survivor. I liked it, but I noted that the season ended on a flat note. I decided to knock out the remaining two seasons these past few days, and here is what I think of it: I loved it!
I really didn't think I would, but something about it really tickled my funny bone. Kiefer Sutherland is back as President Kirkman, as is Adan Canto as Aaron Shore, Kal Penn as Seth Wright, Italia Ricci as Emily Rhodes, Maggie Q as Hannah Wells and LaMonica Garrett as Mike Ritter.
New faces include Kim Raver as Andrea Frost, a brilliant tech genius, Paulo Costanzo as Lyor Boone, a hypochondriac and somewhat awkward fellow, Julie White as Lorraine Zimmer, a brash and no-nonsense political strategist, Anthony Edwards as Mars Harper, the new Chief of Staff who is extremely by the book and Geoff Pierson as Cornelius Moss, the 44th President of the United States.
Season 2 starts off with the continued look for Patrick Lloyd, the bomber responsible for blowing up the Capitol. On top of that, they also have to fend off terror plots, political smears, intrigues and good old fashioned office-rumors.
Season 3 is much more violent, and you can tell that Netflix picked it up, since the language is far more rough and non-kid friendly, not that the show is that anyway. In typical Netflix fashion, they push the envelope regarding sex and language, and I don't mind that at all. It's refreshing to see a show like that.
We also get to deal with an incredible amount of losses in the two seasons. Some are more vicious and heart wrenching than others.
All in all, I liked these last two seasons of the show. I have yet to hear anything about a season 4, but it will happen, I think.
Season 2: 7/10
Season 3: 8/10
