2012 is an Action Sci-Fi telling the adventure of worldwide apocalyptical earthquakes and the struggle of the survivors. Starring actors such as Woody Harrelson and Danny Glover it has a rating of 6.o/10 over at The Internet Movie Database.
Story:
The worldwide geophysical team member Dr. Adrian Helmsely (Chiwetel Ejiofor) learn that the earth is heating up from investigating the effect of radiation. The movie follow people trying to survive while volcano eruptions and earthquakes havoc around them. One of them is Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), divorced and father of two, as he discovers the same information as Dr. Adrian Helmsley while meeting Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson), an enthusiastic doomsday believing radio show talkhost.
My verdict and my rate:
2012 has awesome special effects but it is nothing more. At least it isn’t if you like a movie with intellectual substance, also there is no interesting back-story. Best seen on large screens like those in movie theaters to fully enjoy the special effects. I could rate the special effects a 10 however the movie recieve a 1.

If you liked The Descent (2005) it’s possible that you’ll like The Descent: Part 2 as well.
Sarah Carter survived the caving expedition (in The Descent) and the sequel continues the story as she emerges from the Appalachian confused and with no memory from what she’s experienced. Forced to help locate her missing companions she is back to the depts where she starts to remember the horror.
I like the first movie and the second. To me these are good horror movies and the monsters scare the shit out of me 
. Although part 2 has a confusing end.

Christian Bale dropped an impressive (and horrifying) 63 pounds for the role as Trevor Reznik, an industrial worker with insomnia who hasn’t slept for a year and slowly begins to doubt his sanity as bizarre things start happening. I won’t reveal the plot and anyone who is interested can voluntarily click this link and to read the plot summary for The Machinist at The Internet Movie Databse.
The production designers had to painstakingly re-create the look and feel of Los Angeles with many ”everyday Americana” items in both interior AND exterior shoots. This included cigarettes, alcohol, street signs, traffic signals, public telephones, retail signage, automobiles, license plates, and also shooting in what writer Scott Kosar called ”some of the worst areas of Barcelona”.

Warning – this post contains movie spoilers.
Thriller from 2009 written by Stephen King starring Christian Slater and Emmanuelle Vaugier. Rated 5.9/10 out of 904 votes at imdb, I think deserves a higher rating than that.
Dolan’s Cadillac is the story about one young mans attempts to seek to avenge his wife’s death after she is murdered by a Las Vegas mobster. His wife witnesses an execution in the desert and is then targeted by the mobsters who commited it, notorious Vegas crime lord Jimmy Dolan who’s vast wealth stems from his human trafficking operations. Dolan succeeds in having Elizabeth killed before she can testify against him and hence Dolan goes free, and Robinson must avenge Elizabeth’s death.
It’s not the usual revenge flick with much action and nothing more. This movie had originality and I can recommend it.

Män som hatar kvinnor (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)
0 Comments | Posted by admin in Movies
I don’t often get the chance to review movies that I watch. I watch plenty periodically but when I get the chance to update my blog I feel that I have something else that I rather share. Now I’m thinking it’s loong (no I did not misspell this word) over due for a movie post. Yes, I’m tired, it’s past midnight and I’d also love to be asleep but I want to update about this movie I saw: Män som hatar kvinnor (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).
This is a mystery/thriller move and while I find the Swedish title misleading and non-relating to the story and it’s unlikely I would have watched this movie had it not been for the Swedish title which inspired to curiosity it’s not a fantastic movie however I did become quite intrigued by Noomie, the female lead character of this film. It did however recieve a 7.6/10 rating out of 5,164 votes over at imdb.

Award-winning novel by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his ”Millennium Trilogy”.
At his death in November 2004 he left three unpublished novels that made up the trilogy. It became a posthumous best-seller in Europe.
Lisbeth Salander plays Noomi Rapace
Men Who Hate Women opened in France on 13 May, in Italy and Spain on 29 May 2009.
The girl who played with fire will premier simultaneously in Sweden, Norway and Denmark on 18 September 2009. In Finland, the film will open one week later.
The girl who kicked the hornets´nest will subsequently be released 27 November 2009 in Sweden, Norway and Denmark and in Finland during January 2010.
Rumors have been speculating on a Hollywood version of the book. Yellow Bird, executive producer Søren Stærmose confirmed in an interview with Swedish newspaper Expressen that negotiations are taking place. This would not be a US remake of the Swedish films but rather new Hollywood films based on the books. – source
