En som deg (2012)
A story about nothing
I have rarely felt this complete emptiness while watching a movie. And especially one which I would have guessed has so much potential! I love Finnish, I love Norwegian; that alone should have been a good starting point. But the story managed to stretch my patience and finally, after a long wait, lead into nothing. There are these little glimpses of scenes, things that are just unfolding and could drive the plot on, but then they just disappear, and make way to the previously tried out nothingness. Like the scene where Anders is in his undies in the street in the middle of the night, the time when Kaisa leaves the group to get milk and wanders off to a different location, the talk between the Norwegian cousins in the kitchen.. Why? What? Where are all these bits of beginnings leading to? Nowhere. A total waste of time. I recommend watch something else. Anything.
Thumbelina (1994)
Stay away
I didn't have high expectations to begin with, but this movie was simply below all standards.. Call me old fashioned if you will, but I think part of the beauty in animated children's films is the innocence they portray, and in Thumbelina the constant battle for the girl was not after her heart, rather after her body! Huh, could you believe that!? The prince can't get his hands off her from 20 seconds into their first meeting, the dress which is supposed to be at her ankles shows as high as her panties, all the other male character are constantly smooching her and touching her against her will, while they discuss which of them will get to keep her to satisfy his needs. Not to mention the promiscuous toad-mom who flaunts her boobs and legs! Gosh, I never thought I'd be so appalled by a ****ing cartoon! Originally, I got this film to show it to my 5 year old niece, but who in their right minds would let toddlers see this camouflaged soft-porn with the pretense of being intended for children? My vote is to stay away.
