A 2 hour documentary that easily could've been trimmed down by 45-50 minutes without losing anything significant. Pacing is its biggest flaw.

Far from being my type of documentary, I watched this with my girlfriend and her sister the other night. Things we do for love :)

What do these women have in common? Well, a whole lot. They're norwegian or swedish blonds in their late 20's or early 30's despertely looking for "love" on Tinder. (cause apparently meeting people in some other ways is too time consuming, bothersome and old fashioned for them). It seems easier to swipe day in and day out in hope of finding a trustworthy person in the endless sea of psychos and scammers.

They are impressively shallow, gullible persons who are easily persuaded into anything because the sight of designer clothing and expensive cars make them weak at their knees. Enough to be leding money to a supposed billionaire!!! Go figure. I might be overly cinical amd harsh but its not easy having sympathy for these moronic gold diggers.

The doc itself is suprisingly well directed considering this was directors first feature. The girls I watched it with found it to be more engaging than me, no suprises there...

First things first - thanks to this abortion I am never again watching a movie unless it has at least 200 votes and more than 50 reviews.

I like indie horror, there is something quite satisfying in knowing filmmaker has managed to come up with a good/great movie on shoestring budget. I have enjoyed many of them over the years.

This however, is impossible to enjoy, or even watch unless you're stoned/drunk out of your mind or just plain dumb. Low budget is no excuse for truly awful acting, unlikeable characters, poor effects and a story that could be written by a 8 year old with high fever.

Directors previous effort, Skew, is nothing short of a masterpiece compared to this one. Younger viewers will probably "enjoy" lots of flesh as it all goes down in a stripclub. But the girls are fugly and no amount of naked boobies and asses can save this wreck from bottom of a barrel.

Main character of "Blue Jean" has about as much charisma as those stripper poles. Two "facts" about her are funnier and more entertaining than anything in the movie - she is "classically trained actress" (maybe in softcore porn) according to IMDb. And she supposedly "beat out over 200 other actresses for this role", something that is almost impossible to believe. I simply refuse to think that there were over 200 other girls who were less talented than her :) But hey, maybe there really were a few hundred 5 dollar strippers auditioning for the role and only 5% of them spoke English. That is the only possible explanation.

Here is a funny "coincidence" - as of 05.04.17. every single person (except 1 out of 19) who gave this movie positive feedback has written only one review and one vote on their profiles. And guess what, its of this movie. I guess nothing beats closest family and friends.

And this is S.Sommers homage to the great old horror films of Universal studio? This is,without any exaggeration,the poorest excuse of a movie I have seen in a while.

When a single movie menages to destroy everything you love and cherish about creature features of old,Dracula,Frankenstein and werewolf it's time to realize that this guy shouldn't be allowed near anything remotely similar, ever again. How can you take three of the most legendary creatures,huge amounts of money,pretty useful actors and turn it into year biggest letdown?

There is so much that's incredibly bad and laughable about this movie that I wont even try writing about all of it cause it would take a couple of days! I have seen every S.Sommers movie and it is only The Mummy that's even close to being a reasonably good movie, next to Deep Rising, which I truly enjoyed. Entertaining B-movie and fully aware of it, thats one of the things that made it work. Here he has much more money and he end up creating a turd. Effects are even worse then in The Mummy Returns (not included Scorpion King off course-still the worst CG effect ever) and that's saying a lot. The movie feels more like Shreck or Finding Nemo than horror adventure or whatever he tried to make. God only knows!

All the clichés/stereotypes are used over and over again. Poorly choreographed action sequences, overacting, laughable attempts at local accent and the dialog taken straight out of Hammer classics. The plot is probably written by his 8-year old nephew.

Draculas brides are laying eggs ?! (the castle feels more like something taken from "Aliens" than 17th century). And as for Dracula - there is "The Daddy" of all the evil creatures,the very name should cause fear. In Van Helsing we have the pleasure of seeing one of the worst casting choice for the role ever (at least for production this big - Dracula is supposed to appear menacing while this one looks like Elton Johns new lover or some Liberace wannabe! I was expecting a scene where he bites Van Helsings balls,not the neck.

One thing is certain - after watching this crap,I will never look at those creatures,even this type of films again.

They sure don't make them like this any more!

Blessed with a touch of genius...

Alfred Hitchcock once said that you need three things in order to make a good movie : good script, good script and good script! This is a perfect example of that statement. It is as simple as that! This movie is made in 1949 and today,almost 55 years later, it still holds up and is up there with the best gangster dramas of all time. Many would disagree but frankly who cares? None of the modern gangster flicks would be the same without existence of this movie, thats for sure. The script is just great,the score is excellent and dialog is amazing!!! (try comparing it with the standards of today) Every third sentence coming out of Cody Jarretts mouth is endlessly quotable, this movie is Scarface of its time. Cagneys character in this movie is larger than life, one of the greatest gangster characters of all time... James Cagney - perhaps his greatest performance ever! I see that some fools criticize his performance,saying that it isn't great at all. My question to you is : How many movies from '40s have you seen? How wooden was the acting in those days? The answer - extremely. There were few great actors in those days, whose genius could hold up against the acting giants of today and one of them is surely James Cagney!

One of top 10-15 gangster movies of all time!

Since this movie "came out" I have read pages and pages about it. Reviews were mostly great,critics called it a new,fresh and different approach to teenage horror films. Even Peter Jackson loved it! How can director of Brain Dead be wrong, right? Director was called amazing talent and the future of horror,the film was getting four,even five stars in many film mags and it was simple-if you like horror movies like I do after reading so much about Cabin Fever I just had to see it.

So I ordered a copy,got it,turned off the lights,got stoned and armed myself with tons of popcorn and Coke and everything else that goes with it. And after about 90 minutes of "entertainment" I just couldn't believe it.What the f..k is all the fuss about? I mean nothing, absolutely nothing about this movie was new,original,scary or disturbing. With better actors,better script and better director this movie could have been something cause basic idea isn't all that bad. But when you're watching 20+ years old brainless teens running around,reasoning and behaving like they are 12 (and amazingly stupid 12 year olds at that) you just give it up and lose interest. It is simple,if you really are that dumb ( as people in this flick were) you simply deserve to die! It has nothing new or even good to offer,you have seen it all before. It is just another so-so teen horror movie and if I was to describe and point out (which I am not going to do) all the mistakes,stupid and annoying things in this movie it would probably take an hour or so. This movie will probably be awesome to most of those between 11 and 17 but for the rest of seasoned fans it has absolutely nothing to offer besides another 90 minutes wasted in search of something truly good. The director is newest talent, the "future of horror" they say. I already feel sorry for horror and for its fans! Even the most talked about and "original" sequence in the movie is definitely lifted from 80s cheesefest Slaughter High! Not awful but not great either. In any way, shape or form.

If you liked Pusher you'll love I Kina Spiser De Hunde.Pusher was hard-hitting,realistic look at pushers life in the city of Copenhagen while this one is more of a action/drama/comedy but impressive and funny. Kim Bodnia is as great as always,Dejan Cukic delivers good performance as his brother and the rest of the cast is great. A lot of stuff is happening in this one and every situation is funnier than the previous.I loved it and I have seen it at least as many times as Pusher.It is more enjoyable,with more interesting characters (Vuk alone is worth the price of the film) and there's always something happening. If you like this one,don't miss Gamle Mænd I Nye Biler (sequel).Not as funny,not as entertaining but definitely worth a look.

This is a masterpiece of horror/sci-fi cinema! The best ever along with original Alien (although I like The Thing better). I`ve seen this movie at least 50 times and I never get enough of it.I was 6 when i first saw it and it scared the shit out of me (most horror/thriller movies do when you`re 6 year old kid) but in a different kind of way then most of the other movies. I just cant praise it enough!I John Carpenter is still one of my favorite directors (mainly because of his early works) and it`s shame that he isn`t making movies more often. Halloween,Dark Star,The Fog,The Thing,Big Trouble in Little China,Escape From New York are all no-budget wonders and cult favorites. But The Thing remains his greatest achievement! Direction is flawless,the script wellwritten,acting great from everyone involved (Kurt Russel just isn`t the same actor when he isn`t working with Carpenter),the score is amazing (this is,after all,a Carpenter movie) and creature effects are simply breathtaking! The movie captures the feeling of paranoia and isolation like none before or since. What other 20+ years old movie features stuff that you see here?

I could write about this movie or its director for 5 hours but the fans already know-this is one of 50 greatest movies of all time (and all time top 10 when it comes to horror) and it is shame that The Thing isnt on IMDB Top 250! What kind of world is this when movies like Amelie,Memento,The Pianist and Requiem for a Dream are all top 50 while this movie didnt make Top 250 list????? It just shows what most of us already know-peoples taste in movies is getting worse for every minute. For those who didnt like the movie - stick to romantic comedies and "based on a true story" crap dramas. For the fans of this movie - it deserves to be on the list and we have to do something to get it there! Thanks God for giving us different tastes!

To describe the greatness of this movie is almost impossible.Everything about it is amazing,from set-pieces,to atmosphere,the magnificent score to effects and performances from anyone involved.Rutger Hauer has never been better (his Time-to-die speech is simply unforgettable),Harrison Ford and Sean Young are extremely enjoyable as troubled blade runner and his love interest,beautiful replicant Rachael.It is almost impossible to acknowledge the fact that this movie is 22 years old.No CGI-images of today could top effects in this movie and look as real,believable and unique.Take a look at the futuristic world of Minority Report-it doesnt even come near the one presented in Blade Runner.The movie looks as fresh,stylish and amazing today as it did in 1982. It gets you to think,sure,so does The Matrix or Solaris but it is only here that you really get emotionally involved on such a level and care about the characters and outcome of the film. I can understand how some people dislike this movie.Lets face it,it is a little slow-paced but for people with an IQ over 80 that has nothing to say.If you like your sci-fi movies loud,over-the-top and with lots of dumb explosions and action in favor of character study than watch T2 or ID4.Dont get me wrong,I love T2,but it is completely different type of sci-fi movie and it is wrong to compare all movies to the likes of T2,Matrix or Star Wars.I love and cherish this old school movie just the way it is,with perfect balance of action,drama and sci-fi.This is (along with Alien) Ridley Scotts best work and the best work done on Philip K.Dicks novel. I have a couple of books written about the movie and it is a fact that Philip K.Dick himself visited the set of Blade Runner in 1981 and was literally blown away by the looks of his futuristic world from the novel. When you menage to impress that man (anyone who knows anything about Philip K.Dick will understand me)then it should be easy with ordinary people and Ridley Scott has done just that.This movie will be cherished for generations,and it fully deserves so...

A little mess of a movie, going from realistic and gritty to pretty ridiculous, all in couple of minutes. And back again. Big shot Yugo mobsters/drug dealers in Oslo are sending 13-14 year old kids to collect dope and beat the shi. out of some guy. No, really :)

Needless to say, from that moment on the movie has about as much credibility as your average politician. For a guy born in Oslo the director/writer is impressively clueless about its mafia elements. Massively overrated here in Norway, but thats the case with most of the urban movies made over here.

Soundtrack is cool and acting is so-so, with kids often delivering better than grown ups.

First things first!The best movies in Scandinavia are made in Denmark,no doubt about it.I`m personally fed up with all dogme-movies (although there are some great achievements there) so when a movie like this comes along,I can`t help but cheer.Kim Bodnia is one of the best actors in Europe and his performance in this movie is a classic one.Acting overall is pretty good,characters are hilarious.Music is as intense and hard-hitting as a movie itself.The directors gives us realistic view on a life in Kopenhagen,where drugs and crime are part of everyday life.Hollywood is making "their own version" of this modern classic (it was just a matter of time).Being a pusher in Denmark is one thing,but in USA? Please spear us from another pointless remake of great European movies...

Being a huge fan of horror movies I've had a pleasure of watching some truly bad and cheesy flicks.But this one,man,I don't even know what to write. For the last 10 years there have been countless teenage horror/thriller movies so amazingly generic but this one dwarfs them all. I watched about 40 minutes and just couldn't take it any more. The day after I decided to watch the rest,just to make sure how bad it is. Made it another 20 min and decided to do something more entertaining, like stare at my own feet. It was over an hour of my life that I'll never get back. Everyone involved with this movie (on any level) should be banned from the world of movies for ever. Acting sucks (even for this kind of movie),plot is even worse,dialogue laughable. For your own good avoid it like a plague!!!

Why do they remake old classic movies? Don't they ever learn? How big are chances of making a movie as good as the original?

I understand when they want to remake old BAD movies (with potential) but you got to have some balls to mess with movies like Psycho,The Haunting and several others. This one is simply bad, zero real scares, none of the originals creepy atmosphere and you can see that the actors are bored with the material(you almost hear them saying:"OK,are we done,can I have my money please").Effects are not terrible,but it doesn't help much when everything else is. Stick to the original, a true haunted house classic...

The best sci-fi horror (along with The Thing) ever.Ridley Scott has never been better and the monster is simple the greatest in motion picture history.It`s arrival in "the evening meal scene" is one of the most iconic moments in cinema.Still as scary,shocking and brilliant as back in 1979...
