Trolljegeren (2010)
One of the best and most original movies I've seen recently
This movie was a huge surprise for me. I did not expect much, but it is one of the best movies of the year for me. I have to admit that I am getting pretty sick of the "usual" movies. Recently I noticed that after watching thirty minutes in every movie (good or bad) I got bored. The reason is that I see always the same plot lines, the same faces, the same twists, and I really don't care about them any more. If a movie does not have this effect on me, its a sign that it is a special one. And this was the case of The Troll Hunter. The Troll Hunter is a really simple story, its about a guy who hunts trolls in Norway, and about a group of students, who are filming him. This is where it gets interesting, the movie is shot in the style of Blair Witch, Cloverfield, Rec, Paranormal Activity, etc. The handy-cam thing is one those things that makes the movie different. The second thing that got me in this movie was the quite unique Norwegian humor. I have not ran into it before, but there are several moments that are really funny. Well its not hard to make funny moments, when you make a movie about trolls that pretends to be serious. The third thing that was really good in this movie is the beautiful Norwegian nature, there are many breath taking landscapes that I really want to see some day. The last (there are many other) thing that I liked in this movie was the old bearded guy, the troll hunter. He was really cool. I mean he is hunting trolls all his life. OK, so thats it, go see this movie, if you are bored with the usual ones.
The Walking Dead (2010)
Cool Zombies - Uncool Everything Else
The title of this review simply sums everything up. I loved the concept of a zombie series, but after watching 4 episodes I'm really disappointed. I usually like zombie movies, Dawn of the Dead (both versions), 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, and even Zombie Strippes (just kidding, but check it out, its actually about stripping zombies) are really good and entertaining movies, with interesting plots, sweet action scenes, and hordes of cool zombies. The reason why I like zombie movies is that the idea of an 8 year old girl infected by some kind of a virus, turning into a brain-thirsty bad-ass, is actually not impossible. I mean in the realm of horror movies. Ghost stories, demons and stuff like this are really out of question. But a zombie holocaust may happen tomorrow: everybody gets infected and they turn into maniacs. That simple! Anyway, I got a bit carried away, but you see what I mean, back to The Walking Dead. The beginning is exactly the same as in 28 days later. Then the cop-guy finds a horse(!) and rides it to Atlanta or whatever. He meets some guys and a pretty hot blond chick. They have a camp in the woods with some other dudes, and thats it. The actors are boring, except those two blond sisters, they are really good... So lets sum it up: the plots of the episodes are boring, the actors are lame, there are two hot blond chicks and cool zombies. So is this thing worth watching? Well, not really.
