| Posted: | | | | Sometimes overlooked in the historical importance of EASY RIDER is that it started the practice of using compilation soundtracks of previously recorded music by multiple artists. |

| Posted: | | | | Title: The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 Year: 2009 Director: Tony Scott (1944) Rating: Rated 15 : Strong Language and Violence Length: 106 Min. Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Audio Descriptive: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Tysk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Italiensk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Kommentar: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo, Kommentar: Dolby Digital: 2-Channel Stereo Subtitles: Dansk, Engelsk, Finsk, Hindu, Italiensk, Norsk, Svensk, Turkish, Tysk, Kommentar Stars:Denzel Washington John Travolta Luis Guzmán [Luis Guzman] Victor Gojcaj Robert Vataj John Turturro Plot:Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) is a New York City subway dispatcher whose ordinary day is thrown into chaos by an audacious crime: the hijacking of a subway train. Ryder (John Travolta), the criminal mastermind behind the hijacking and leader of a highly-armed gang of four, threatens to execute the train’s passengers unless a large ransom is paid within one hour. As the tension mounts beneath his feet, Garber employs his vast knowledge of the subway system in a battle to outwit Ryder and save the hostages. But there’s one riddle Garber can't solve: even if the thieves get the money, how can they possibly escape? Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Dokumentar Cinechat, Movie IQ My Thoughts: A real good action movie for me, a bit straight forward movie. Denzel Washington with a race against time to catch John Travolta, a classic bad vs good, and i enjoyed it from start to finish. For me personally its good to see Travolta as a action villian, as he did in the "old days" and i think both Washington & Travolta is doing great roles in this movie. For those who hasnt seen it yet, i would reccomand it to get it Both the sound and picture is just super great in HD! My Rating: 5/6 |

| Posted: | | | | Title: Taking Lives: Director's Cut Year: 2004 Director: D. J. Caruso [D.J. Caruso] Rating: Rated 15 : Strong Language, Horror and Moderate Sex Length: 109 Min. Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: Engelsk: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Engelsk: Dolby TrueHD: 5.1 Subtitles: Dansk, Engelsk, Finsk, Fransk, Hollandsk, Italiensk, Norsk, Portugisisk, Spansk Stars:Angelina Jolie Ethan Hawke Kiefer Sutherland Gena Rowlands Olivier Martinez Tchéky Karyo [Tcheky Karyo] Plot:An elusive serial killer is on the loose, ruthlessly murdering victims and then assuming their identities. But now there's a breakthrough and FBI profiler Illeana Scott has been assigned to the case. This edgy cat-and-mouse thriller sees Scott meeting her match in a killer that seems to know her every move. Alone in an unfamiliar city with no one she can trust, Agent Scott suddenly finds herself on a twisted and terrifying journey, surrounded by suspects in a case that has become chillingly personal. Directed by D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) and with an all star cast including Academy Award®* winner Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland and Olivier Martinez, this jump-out-of-your-seat shocker will have you gripped from start to finish. *1999, Best Actress in a Supporting Role, Girl Interrupted Extras:Scenevalg Feature Trailers Dokumentar Outtakes/Bloopers My Thoughts: This is a movie that actually suprised me quite a bit. Its a quite dark movie, where Angelina Jolie plays some kind of a special detective with a dark side to her. And she's specialized to catch serial killers. And we follow her and her team, while they are trying to catch a brutal and sick serial killer. And its a lot of twists and turns in the movie, and you will get suprised in almost every corner. A dark thriller, a real good movie. With a good storyline and a good plot. A movie you guys should try to watch, if you havent done it allready! And for me personally, its nice to see an oldschool movie with Angelina Jolie, before she stopped eating and stuff. Good to see Oldschool Angelina. Though the movie is a few years old. I am very glad i bought it when i did My Rating: 6/6 |

The horror is real and she and her family are in peril. She tries to warn everyone... but no one is listening. Extras:Scenevalg Bonus Trailers Dokumentar Gallery BD-Live Digital Copy My Thoughts: I just want to start of by saying, its nice to see Katie Holmes back in the lead role again. When it comes to this movie, i dont know what to think or say. Its a very weird movie, its creepy in some places and just weird. Its a very slow movie. And for me personally i dont know what they want to say with this movie really. For the horror part of the movie, some places it was good, i found it scary some places, and the ending took me by suprise, i didnt see that coming at all But i will say this, i think this movie is for special interesteed. I dont think everyone would like it. But all in all, a weird by ok horror movie. My Rating: 3/6 |

Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Slettede scener Dokumentar Outtakes/Bloopers BD-Live Digital Copy pocket BLU, unrated and theatrical versions My Thoughts: Usually i'm not that in to comedys, its so easy to make a real bad comedy. And that happens waay to often unfortunetly imo. But i always like a real good comedy that makes me laugh. And this one i got reccomanded to me, so i finally watched it. And the movie was ok, it made me laugh, and the actresses was real good too i think, and the storyline and plot was fun too, and the some of the lines was hilarious But with that beeing said, the movie lasted for over 2 hours, and that a bit long for a comedy i think, when a comedy last for over 2 hours, it should be as good as Ace Ventura, imo. And i knew how the movie would end, before the ending it self. So those things drag it a little down, but all in all an good comedy that made me laugh. And would reccomand it. My Rating: 4/6 |

EdgarUPC: 883929-213429 Year: 2011 CREWDirector...Clint Eastwood Writer...Dustin Lance Black Director of Photography...Tom Stern Rating: Rated R : Brief Strong Language Length: 137 Min. Video: Widescreen 2.40:1 Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French Stars:Leonardo DiCaprio Josh Hamilton Geoff Pierson Cheryl Lawson Kaitlyn Dever Brady Matthews Plot:Leonardo DiCaprio (Inception, Blood Diamonds) stars as J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years. Hoover was feared, admired, reviled and revered, a man who could distort the truth as easily as he upheld it. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted prize. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life. Oscar® winner* Clint Eastwood (Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby) directs an all-star cast including Naomi Watts (21 Grams), Armie Hammer (The Social Network) and, as Hoover's overprotective mother, Oscar® winner* Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love). *Eastwood - Best Director and As a Producer of the Best Picture Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004), plus the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award (1994). Dench - Best Actress in a Supporting Role, Shakespeare in Love (1998). Extras:Scene Access Featurettes Digital Copy My Thoughts: Wasn't sure if I would enjoy this one, but since I do like biopics, I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by the story, how well it was put together, and how quickly the story moves. If there were not too many "Artistic" leanings in the film, shows an interesting story of the singular drive of a very powerful and controversial man in US history. I would definitely recommend this film, even for those that are not into biopics. My Score: 4/5 |

Video: Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: Engelsk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Italiensk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1, Spansk: DTS-HD Master Audio: 5.1 Subtitles: Dansk, Engelsk, Finsk, Hindu, Italiensk, Norsk, Portugisisk, Spansk, Svensk Stars:Bruce Campbell (1958) Ellen Sandweiss Hal Delrich Betsy Baker Sarah York Fake Shemps Plot:Writer/Director SAM RAIMI's relentless, gore-spattered debut is a landmark in horror cinema, a no-holds-barred onslaught of gruesome terror and nightmarish effects which has earned its rightful status as a legendary cult classic. Five college students travel to a remote cabin in the woods and unwittingly unleash a monstrous evil force hellbent on their total destruction. Now with newly restored state-of-the-art digitally remastered picture and loaded with incredible extras, THE EVIL DEAD is truly the ultimate experience in gruelling horror. Extras:Scenevalg Audio Commentary Feature Trailers Bonus Trailers Dokumentar Gallery BD-Live My Thoughts: This horror movie, i didnt know what to think of it, it had got a lot of mixed reactions. Some good and some very bad. And anywhere i read about it, in the magazines (Empire etc.) all were saying that Evil Dead 2 was way better, and now i finally got to watch The Evil Dead, and i have to say that i really enjoyed it a lot. Not the best actors of the decade, but still a good movie that i enjoyed watching, lot of blood and gore, so if your in to that, (SAW, Hostel etc.) i think you would like this one too. And i cant wait to get the Evil Dead 2, since that is supposedly much better! For you guys that have seen both 1 and & 2. Wich did you like the best? My Rating: 4.5/6 |
